Last weekend new leftwing UK party officially now called ‘Your Party’ held their first conference showcasing a bonanza of debilitating leftist tendencies. We discuss those and wider bonkers trends on the left. Including, obsessional lunacy with accessibility that is actually a tool of manipulation and grievance mining, individualism and politics as identity, the affectlessness of leftwing speech today, and social exclusion's relationship to the repetition of slogans. Plus, the term ‘retard’ as a distinguishing signal, why the left hasn’t had a new idea or take in decades, how every attack by the left has a social quality, Trotskyism’s anathema to power, Syriza, platforming nonces, political messianism, and the left’s hostility to arguments.

New UK leftist political group 'Your Party' is to hold its first national conference this weekend. We discuss this latest attempt to marry the Muslim community with the left, the resignation of Adnan Hussain MP from Your Party, and its ongoing split over transgenderism. We also talk more widely about the state of the left in general, including how its disagreeable women are only understood as wreckers, the cries of 'class' and 'materialism' as of paramount importance when the left has pushed transgenderism as its key issue for a decade, Zohran Mamdani's win, and the endless purity spiralling tendencies of the contemporary left, as seen in calling Jeremy Cornyn of all people a 'zionist'. Plus, Nick Land, men as the universal subject in leftwing thought, the near supernatural evil of the trans movement, ‘transwomen’ trying to sleep with their mothers and commit other incest, and the four ways women secure their place on the left (either as an attack dog against other women, through a male sexual sponsor, by being most head banging ideological zealot, or a dogsbody).

Lily Allen's latest album details her husband's infidelity after initiating an open relationship. We discuss the unviability of open relationships, the risks of public confessionalism as therapeutic, the pernicious valorisation of the concept of consent beyond sex, and how people are hacking their own privacy on the internet.

Last week saw the collapse of the Labour government's enquiry into the grooming gangs as both candidates for chair resigned and several survivors walked away demanding Jess Phillips' resignation. We discuss how the grooming gangs pose an irreconcilable intersectional car crash for Labour and the wider Left, which has produced a complex edifice of denial around the topic and unwillingness to address the issue as it truly exists. Plus, the Left’s conception of the Subject, how you can’t mark your own homework, why the lumpen are considered unreliable narrators and therefore politicians view them as ripe for own purposes, and how the politics of the Me Too era has been used to dilute the specificity of the grooming gang enquiry towards men in general.

This episode focuses on the political climate in the UK via topics including Graham Linehan’s armed arrest compared to actions police take against rapists, how Labour’s crack down on social media leads back to embarrassment over the grooming gangs, and digital ID. Plus, Matt Taibbi’s book 'I Can’t Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street', Labour government policies as soon to be cultural historic artefacts, the Manchester synagogue terrorist out on bail for rape, how the UK’s euthanasia legislation is worse than Canada, middle-class nannying maternalism in politics, Jess Philips as a thug and therefore a vandal, and the Labour Party's implosion.

We review the Charlie Kirk memorial and discuss how Erika Kirk has been receiving the Amber Heard treatment online. Also, why women who refuse to be victims are often hated the most and women as symbols of cultural meaning. Plus, American evangelicalism, 'over performing' during times of grief, the first person industrial complex of confessional writing as the highest form of self-expression, forgiveness, and the "life disabled".

Apologies for the noise of parakeets near the end, there are flocks of them in and around South West London, with many competing urban myths as to why!

We discuss the murder of Charlie Kirk, how transgender rights activism was a primary motivation of his killer, why the dehumanisation of political opponents has become the domain the political left operates from, and how subsequently it means Trump's decision to classify Antifa as a terrorist organisation is downstream of that. Plus, Robert Nozick's thought experiment 'The Experience Machine' becoming a real life test, Stella O’Malley’s excellent recent Spiked article, mass cultural infantilism, why being rightwing is the new youth subculture after transgenderism, and how revisiting childhood things takes the sheen off nostalgia.

The last fortnight has seen the failure of the high-profile trial of rapper P Diddy for sex trafficking and the Epstein files not released after months of promise they would be by the Trump administration. Could the American elites really be willing to embarrass themselves to this degree without incentive? We try to think of the best explanation for why Trump won’t release the Epstein files and how P Diddy has likely got away with sex crimes. We also discuss Obama's reported bisexuality, Mac Miller’s death and use of prostitutes as drug carriers, Joan Didion’s critique of leftism as an excuse for drug fests, Meek Mill and Nikki Minaj’s lavender relationship, sexual attraction to power, pizzagate, Kash Patel, Epstein as a Mossad asset, the rapid rise of antisemitism, and Holocaust denial in the Information Age.
