    312: Why I loathe Kamala Harris | Lionel Shriver
    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Lionel Shriver. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked 

    Kamala Harris has been hailed as the candidate of ‘joy’. But is there any substance beneath the supposedly feelgood vibes? Here, Lionel Shriver – author of Mania – tells spiked that there’s something fraudulent about Harris, who she says has never had an original idea nor held a consistent principle. Shriver also weighs in on the interminable ‘Trump is a fascist’ debate, the incompetence of Tim Walz and the dangers of a tight election result.

    308: The truth about the Covid lab leak | Matt Ridley
    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Matt Ridley. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked 

    More than 28million were killed. The global economy was wrecked by two years of lockdown. Incalculable damage was done to health, education and liberty. The Covid-19 pandemic was the deadliest and most destructive disaster of our lifetimes, and yet there is still no official explanation for its cause. Here, Matt Ridley – co-author of Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19 – talks to spiked about why a lab leak is almost certainly to blame for the pandemic. He explains why it’s no coincidence that the virus emerged from Wuhan, China. And he reveals what top scientists like Anthony Fauci knew in 2020, but tried to keep suppressed.

    This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Helen Joyce. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked 

    Male rapists in women’s prisons. Kids given experimental, sterilising drugs. Gay boys and girls told they’re born in the wrong body and in need of medical correction. Here, Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, talks to spiked about the damage the trans movement is doing to society. She explains how it became taboo to tell the truth about biological sex. And how this is giving licence to rampant misogyny and homophobia, threatening hard-won rights.
