Description

UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers talks with journalist, author, and historian Adrian Wooldridge about the systemic leadership crisis facing the UK, exploring how the rapid decline of Keir Starmer’s Labour government mirrors the previous Conservative downfall and reflects a broader decay of liberalism that necessitates a radical reinvigoration of the centrist tradition.

  1. 1. No good trying to sell me Plaude. Prefer Claude.
    2. No idea who this waffle merchant is, but I know how to assess someone who classifies Reform as ‘extreme’.

    1. All becomes clear if you have the patience to listen a bit more: yet another remoaner. And I see now, there is in fact no difference between this guy and Starmer. I wonder if they are related.

      1. Prashant, you are making personalised ad hominem attacks on him. You are attacking the man and not the ball. Imagine asking the same questions of yourself e.g. about adding value, waffle, and moaning.

  2. I appreciate UnHerd have paid for this guy, but I venture to suggest, perhaps UnHerd have been, um, short-changed. As in, just where on earth in anything he said, did he actually add *anything* new at all? Or of any interest? Or value?
