I think we're learning more about the alleged assassin, certainly, but I think we're also learning

0:05.5

more about the incredibly febrile and dark political climate that seems to surround the shoes.

0:10.4

Just it's such a difficult coalition to hold together and it requires death, tact and political

0:15.5

talent, which I don't think Jeremy Corbyn or Zara Sultanah have in spades.

The Romaners in particular continue to talk of Europe as if it's like a haven from populism. It's like, do you know what's going on? It just shows that if there are any low information voters in that discussion, it's them. Hello, and welcome to the Spike podcast. I'm Fraser Myers. Delighted as ever to be joined by Spike's editor, Tom Slater. Hello. And thrilled for his first time on the Spike Pot to have GB News, Tom Harwood. Welcome. It's a delight to make it all the more confusing for having two Tom's here. I think we're all going to be sort of double speaking and not speaking at all. It's going to be tough to chair, but I'm going to, I'm going to folder on. Should we do surnames or something? They're allwood. Go on. We're back at school. Yeah. Slater Harwood sounds like a law firm, but

0:57.8

it really does. Yeah. Right. So before we get into the topics, everyone at home needs to know that this

1:04.0

podcast is going to be coming live from the Battle of Ideas. In fact, we're going to be doing two podcasts.

1:45.1

State Visit to the UK, and the hilarious collapse of your party.

1:55.2

We've been learning a lot more about the Charlie Kirk suspect.

2:00.0

Tyler Robinson, we've been learning all about his political beliefs,

2:03.1

some of the things that have been encased on his bullets, some of the confessions and text

2:08.7

messages and things like that. Tom Slater, do you want to start off and tell us a bit about

2:12.6

what we now know? No, absolutely. So he's now officially been charged with aggravated murder. It seems

2:19.1

like they're going to be seeking a death penalty. And we now seem to know a lot more about what the

2:23.8

alleged motive would be. There was obviously some of these early indications, kind of reports, as you
