Hello, it's Tom Slater here, Editor of Spike. Before we get into Brendan's show today,

I just want to say a really huge thank you to everyone who's given to our Christmas

donation appeal so far. Really, it's because of you that we're able to write all the articles

and produce all the podcasts that we do at Spike. It's because of you that we're able to be

free and fearless and independent and free for everyone to read, which I think is really,

really important to us. So to those who have donated so far a big thank you, as I say,

and to those who haven't yet, there's still plenty of time, please do go over to Spike

hyphenonline.com, forward slash donate and give whatever you can if you appreciate our work.

I want to help us do bigger and better things in 2023. As you may know, we've also got a special

offer on at the moment to those who donate £30 or more. We get a whole year subscription

to Spike's supporters are exclusive donor community where you can comment on articles, access,

live events and all sorts of other exclusive perks. So once again, that's spiked hyphenonline.com

forward slash donate. Have a very Merry Christmas and a brilliant new year. And now that's Brendan

Show.

When someone like here, Starmer says that you shouldn't say that only women have a service,

that really makes us feel that we are living in chaos. It's like, is there no one who is going

to say the truth? I would never vote for someone who took the need to this ideology because the

Mermitz information was well known. The Tabestock information was well known. The treatments of

women like JK Rowling and Kathleen stuff was well known. All these things were well known. And

yet here Starmer goes on television and says, you shouldn't say that only women have a service.

Hello, welcome back to the Brendan O'Neill show with me, Brendan O'Neill and my special guest

this week, Graeme Linahan. Graeme, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you for having me on.
