PMQs #002 - Labour's Budget: Another Tax Raid on Working People

Labour's second budget is here and it's another full-blown tax raid. They've hit workers again, squeezed savers again, blown up the welfare bill again and still delivered nothing for business, growth or the people who actually drive the economy.  If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.

PMQs #001 - Inflation Is A Crime

#098 - Katie Lam - The CONSERVATIVE Fightback: Borders, Belief & BRITAIN

Katie Lam, a Conservative parliamentary candidate and former senior civil servant, joins The Peter McCormack Show to deliver a critique of Britain's cultural decay, political cowardice and the institutional failures undermining national trust. From grooming gangs and immigration to women's safety and the collapse of political consensus, Lam calls for a bold new conservatism rooted in honesty, dignity and real public service. We discuss how the Left abandoned fairness, how the Right lost courage, and why Britain needs a cultural revival not just another election cycle.

#096 - Samuel Kullmann - Why Switzerland Works and Britain Doesn't

Swiss politician Samuel Kullmann joins The Peter McCormack Show for a deep dive into Switzerland's unique model of governance and why it offers a powerful alternative to Britain's broken system. Kullmann breaks down the power of direct democracy, the importance of decentralised government, and how a nation run by part-time politicians with real-world skin in the game avoids the corruption and incompetence plaguing Westminster. Drawing a sharp contrast, he compares the stable, prosperous, citizen-led approach of Switzerland with the top-down, bureaucratic failure that is driving the UK's decline and wealth exodus. This is a lesson in how real democracy works, a blueprint for political accountability, and a vision of a future where power truly belongs to the people.

#100 - Balaji Srinivasan - The Collapse of the West

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I speak with Balaji Srinivasan, tech founder, investor, and author of The Network State.

#099 - Ben Habib - Why The UK Needs a Revolution

Businessman, former MEP, and leader of Advance UK Ben Habib joins The Peter Mccormack Show to deliver a blistering critique of Britain’s political and constitutional decline. In this discussion, Ben exposes how Tony Blair’s reforms, the Human Rights Act, and decades of globalist policies have eroded British sovereignty, weakened our borders, and crippled our economy.  We discuss the collapse of public trust, the migration crisis, EU entanglements, judicial overreach, and why Keir Starmer’s Labour government poses an existential threat to Britain’s future. Ben reveals Advance UK’s plan to rebuild the nation from the ground up: secure our borders, return power to Parliament, revive our economy, and defend British values.

#097 - Josh Simons - Why Politicians Must Stop Lying

Labour MP Josh Simons joins The Peter McCormack Show for a frank discussion on Britain's broken system and his mission to fix it from within. As founder of the Labour Growth Group, Simons challenges his own party’s orthodoxy on tax and the “win-win” rhetoric of the political establishment. He lays out a vision to put working-class people back at the heart of politics , rebuild our broken institutions , and radically rethink education for the age of AI. This is a blueprint for a different kind of Labour party and a look at how a new generation of politician is tackling the UK's decline.

#095 - David Starkey - Why Britain is Broken and How We Recover Liberty

Historian David Starkey returns to The Peter McCormack Show for a blistering historical analysis of why modern Britain is broken. Starkey unleashes on the 'neophilia' of the Blair years, the catastrophe of incorporating universal human rights into English law, and the failure of modern conservatism to defend the nation's unique heritage. Drawing a line from the French Revolution to today, he contrasts the organic, bottom-up wisdom of English individualism with the top-down, bureaucratic model of continental Europe. This is a lesson in the ideas that underpin true liberty, the importance of historical continuity, and the urgent need to recover the values that once made Britain exceptional.

#094 - Max Winga - The 5-Year Countdown to AI Extinction

Max Winga, an AI safety advocate from Control AI, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a sobering look at the existential risk posed by artificial intelligence. In this episode, Max reveals how the reckless race for superintelligence, a profound lack of enforceable safety measures, and the apathy of global governance are putting humanity on a potential path to extinction. We explore the chilling capabilities of emerging AI, the concept of a runaway "intelligence explosion," why top AI researchers are sounding the alarm, and what happens when we can no longer control our own creations.

#93 - Kathryn Porter - NUCLEAR is the Answer, NET ZERO is the Problem

Kathryn Porter, energy analyst and founder of Watt-Logic, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a data-driven takedown of the UK’s broken energy system. In this episode, Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, civil service incompetence, and corporate rent-seeking have driven up bills, destabilised the grid and betrayed the public. We dive into the real cost of wind, the myth of “cheap renewables,” the politics behind energy policy and why nuclear and gas remain the only viable paths forward. This is a forensic, clear-eyed look at the UK’s energy crisis and what needs to happen to fix it.

#092 - Alex Phillips - Labour's COLLAPSE, WOKE Economics & Women's SAFETY

Alex Phillips joins The Peter McCormack Show for a raw and wide-ranging discussion on the breakdown of safety, honesty, and leadership in modern Britain. A former Brexit Party MEP and fearless media commentator, Phillips pulls no punches on Labour's collapse, the rise of woke economics, and the growing failure to protect women and working-class communities. We examine political cowardice, mass migration, cultural instability and the daily erosion of public trust. From the broken justice system to collapsing schools and rising crime, Alex makes the case that Britain's elite have abandoned their responsibilities and that only radical honesty can rebuild what's been lost.
