Matt Goodwin: Mass Migration, Populism, Freedom and Political Disruption | Peter McCormack Podcast

Matt Goodwin is a British political scientist, author, and commentator known for his work on populism, political realignment, and the cultural and economic challenges facing modern Britain.

In this interview, Matt delivers a scathing critique of Britain’s failing political class. Known for his sharp insights into populism and British politics via his SubStack, Goodwin exposes the hidden truths about mass immigration, elite mismanagement, and the collapse of trust in UK institutions. This conversation explores how populism is reshaping Western democracies, the failures of Labour and the Conservatives, and whether Reform UK can save Britain from its downward spiral.
