Jacob Reynolds, Head of Policy at MCC Brussels, joins Lee Hall to discuss the growing issue of censorship across Europe and the broader threats facing democratic processes.

He examines how European elites seek to maintain control—from blocking certain candidates and parties from elections, to discrediting and smearing political opponents. Reynolds also says European politicians are openly discussing the replacement of their native populations with immigrants that they see as more favorable voters.

Yet, amid these tactics, is there evidence that the establishment is losing ground? The rise of populist parties throughout Europe suggests voters are increasingly rejecting the dominant narrative and demanding change.

The conversation also turns to the United Kingdom: Is the British state becoming hostile to its own citizens? And do we need leaders who prioritise the interests and needs of their native populations?

In this engaging and thought-provoking discussion, journalist and author Timandra Harkness joins host Lee Hall to explore key ideas from her book Technology is Not the Problem.

Harkness examines how our increasingly fragile sense of self fuels the demand for hyper-personalised technology and services. She delves into the ways these systems harvest vast amounts of personal data to deliver tailored experiences—and the serious risks that arise when such intimate information falls into authoritarian hands or is misused for control.

The conversation also covers the rise of facial recognition technology, its growing legal and ethical implications, and how its widespread deployment contributes to deepening mistrust among citizens, governments, and major tech companies.

A wide-ranging, insightful, and entertaining exchange that challenges us to question not just the tools we use, but the human desires driving their evolution.

Lord David Frost joins Lee Hall on British Thought Leaders to say that despite winning recent battles, the war for British freedoms is far from won.

In this wide-ranging interview, the former Chief Brexit Negotiator reveals how post-Brexit opportunities have been squandered amid a global shift back toward nation states and away from globalism.

He makes the case for leaving the ECHR, questions the establishment's apparent aversion to free debate, and says the government is prioritising ideological schemes like digital ID over urgent crises: defence, the NHS, and a broken migration system.

Lord Frost assesses the Conservative Party's struggle against Reform UK on the right—and shares his vision for the party's future.He also explains why he has taken on the role of Director General at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), and how it will champion free-market economics and individual freedoms to future UK governments.
