The Collapse of Law and Order | Dr Lawrence Newport x The Peter McCormack Podcast

Dr. Lawrence Newport is a legal academic, researcher, and political commentator, known for his work on law, crime, and justice reform. He is also the co-founder of Looking for Growth, a movement focused on revitalising the UK’s economy, reducing bureaucracy, and restoring law and order.

In this interview we discuss why Britain is in managed decline and how bureaucracy, crime, and political cowardice are destroying the nation. He exposes the failures in policing, justice, and infrastructure that have led to rising crime, economic stagnation, and growing public disillusionment. From shoplifting epidemics to the housing crisis and energy failures, Newport explains why the government’s refusal to take bold action is crippling the country. He reveals shocking insights into why sentencing is softer, why criminals operate with impunity, and why the UK is failing to build its way out of decline.
