Summary
Former Conservative MP and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe joins Peter McCormack to expose the failure of Britain's political class, the betrayal of conservative values, and the rise of Reform UK.
In the interview, she discusses mass immigration, the collapse of the Tory Party, net zero extremism, unelected civil servants, the erosion of free speech, and the growing disconnect between Westminster and ordinary Britons. Widdecombe delivers a scathing analysis of how the establishment has abandoned its duty to the nation—and why political realignment is not only inevitable, but essential.
