Starmerism versus Democracy

Welcome to episode four of the Sceptic!

On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following Daily Sceptic contributors:

The mysterious and ever-incisive Daily Sceptic columnist J. Sorel on Keir Starmer’s technocratic plan to end parliamentary democracy;

David McGrogan, Associate Law Professor at Northumbria University, on a recent Supreme Court ruling that puts the future of U.K. oil and gas in question and the “tyrannical tendency” of BBC disinformation reporter Marianna Spring;

And Alex Kriel, the founder of thinkingcoalition.org, on the elephant in the room in the General Election campaign: lockdowns.

And for our premium subscribers, Laurie speaks to pseudonymous commentator Eugyppius, author of the influential Substack, ‘eugyppius: a plague chronicle’, who gives us a deep-dive into German politics and the Right-wing wave sweeping Europe.
