326: 2024: revenge of the deplorables

In this special end-of-year episode, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers are joined by Francis Foster and Inaya Folarin Iman to reflect on the highs and lows of 2024. They discuss Trump, Farage and the global populist surge; why woke is losing the culture war; how Southport exposed Keir Starmer’s authoritarianism; the triumph of Israel, the unravelling of Syria and the tragedy of Ukraine; and more.
