  • Civil War in Britain – Why the Right is hyping it

    Civil War in Britain – Why the Right is hyping it
    Jan 15 2026
    Open warfare between British citizens is “inevitable” according to Elon Musk. Farage says “I don’t think anybody in London even understands how close we are to civil disobedience on a vast scale.” New Reform convert Nadim Zahawi says we’re entering “a dark and dangerous chapter”. Where is all this talk coming from? Why are the Right so keen on these apocalyptic ideas? And beyond all the hysteria, what really triggers civil wars? Political commentator and author Phil Tinline tells Andrew Harrison about the reality behind the fever dreams of civil war… and when we really were close to fighting one another. • Buy Phil Tinline’s Ghosts Of Iron Mountain through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • Is Britain becoming more racist?

    Is Britain becoming more racist?
    Jan 14 2026
    If racism is supposed to be in retreat in Britain, why does it feel so much harder to ignore? We like to see ourselves as a tolerant, post-multicultural country, yet that story jars with a reality in which racial hostility feels more visible: spread across social media and validated by politicians. But is this really a rise in racism, or the effect of heightened scrutiny driven by the internet? Today on The Bunker, Zoë Grünewald is joined by Rahul Sambaraju, Lecturer in Psychology at City St George's, University of London, and Simon Goodman, Associate Professor at De Montfort University to ask: is racism becoming more acceptable in the UK? www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Zoe Grunewald.

  • Make America Invade Again – What does Trump have in store for 2026?

    Make America Invade Again – What does Trump have in store for 2026?
    Jan 13 2026
    One year into Donald Trump’s second term, 2026 is already looking worse than 2025. In just its opening days, the White House has intervened militarily in Venezuela, seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic, and revived threats to take Greenland by force. All of this unfolds alongside a faltering economy, violent ICE raids, slipping poll numbers, and the unresolved Epstein files. Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by Dr Casey Burgat, Legislative Affairs Program Director at George Washington University and author of We Hold These "Truths", to look at where this presidency goes next, and what a year defined by invasion and escalation could mean for American democracy. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Buy Casey’s book We Hold These "Truths" How to Spot the Myths that are Holding America Back through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

    Putin’s position — Why Russia isn't shifting on Ukraine
    Jan 8 2026
    The human cost of Russia’s war on Ukraine is staggering, yet the war continues and Vladimir Putin’s position has barely shifted. Despite mounting attrition and international pressure, Moscow shows no sign of backing down. Today on The Bunker, Chris Jones is joined by Ian Garner, historian and author of Z Generation: Into the heart of Russia's fascist youth, to examine the scale of the losses and ask what “peace” would actually look like now. • Buy Ian’ book Z Generation: Into the heart of Russia's fascist youth through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
