Episode 82 - How the establishment made the far right respectable | Daniel Trilling | UNAPOLOGETIC

In this episode of UNAPOLOGETIC, we sit down with Daniel Trilling - journalist and author of If We Tolerate This: How the British Establishment Made the Far Right Respectable.We discuss who is actually responsible for the rise of the far right and how dangerous the global far right rise could be for freedoms across the globe.From Trump's assault on democratic institutions to Orban gutting Hungary's free press, Modi's rise during a period of extraordinary economic growth to Reform's promises of a British ICE - Trilling maps a global pattern of far right movements exploiting the failures of a governing class that never saw it coming, or simply didn't care.In the UK, he traces how David Cameron opened the door, Rishi Sunak presided over the ruins, and Keir Starmer arrived without a plan - leaving Nigel Farage as the unlikely beneficiary of decades of establishment failure.Could Farage be the next prime minister? What would a Reform government actually look like? And can any of this be stopped?UNAPOLOGETIC is hosted by Ashfaaq Carim
