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 UK 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.
