Hi, it's Tom here. And before we get into this episode of the Spike to Podcast, I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who's donated to our Christmas appeal so far.

Without you, we simply wouldn't be here, so thank you so much for your generosity.

If you haven't donated yet, then please do consider giving Spiked a donation this Christmas

or even setting up a monthly donation for the new year. Anything you can give really is greatly appreciated.

And we've even got a special limited time offer for our readers and listeners this festive period.

So if you give Spiked a donation of 50

pounds or more between now and the 1st of January 2019 we'll send you a free

signed copy of Brendan O'Neill's new book, Antiwoke. So to find out more, just head to spiked-Online

dot com and click on the big red donate button in the top right of the home page. Now on with the show.

Hello and welcome to the spike podcast. I'm

Fraser Myers and with me today a Spikes deputy editor and host of the

Last Orders podcast Tom Slater.

Hello lo lo. And Spiked columnist Ella Whelan.

Hi.

Today on the podcast we're talking unrepresentative democracy,

the Twitter mobbing of Kevin Hart

and whether Russia is behind the Gilejeune movement.

Just a word of warning, we're recording this on Wednesday morning,

the day of Theresa May's confidence vote.

So by the time this comes out, who knows what will have happened,

we might have a new PM, Brexit could be over. There could be another referendum.

Who the hell knows? Anyway, on with the show.
