Emmet Connor, author of Red Pandemic, joins me to discuss his claim that Marxist ideas are expanding globally through culture, institutions and politics.

We start with the core question: is there actually a coherent Marxist movement in the modern West or is the term being used too loosely to describe broader social change?

We also explore what Marxism is today, how it may have evolved beyond its original economic focus and whether its historical outcomes are a failure of implementation or something inherent to the ideology itself.

Liz Truss, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, joins me to discuss what really happened during her time in office and why she believes the UK is in long-term economic and political decline.

We talk about the limits of political power, the role of institutions like the Bank of England, and why she argues that meaningful change is harder than voters realise. Liz also reflects on why she was removed from office and whether Britain can reverse its current trajectory.

The engineers building Artificial Intelligence do not actually know how it works. They are not programming it; they are "growing" it and they have no idea what it will do next.

Connor Leahy is an AI researcher and former builder of Large Language Models. In this interview we discuss Silicon Valley, where he reveals the reality inside the top tech labs: the "alignment problem" being unsolved, the race for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) accelerating and the people in charge are flying completely blind.

We discuss the chaotic trajectory of superintelligence, the corruption of the tech elite, the Department of Defense's recent moves and the disturbing new phenomenon of "AI Psychosis" where users are being manipulated by the systems they use.

In this episode, we cover:

• The "Black Box" Problem: Why the creators of AI cannot predict what it will do.

• Silicon Valley Corruption: Why "sociopaths have domesticated nerds" to build dangerous tech.

• The Wargames: Why AI consistently chooses nuclear escalation in simulations.

• "AI Psychosis" & Spiral Cults: The terrifying psychological toll AI is taking on its smartest users.

• The Loss of Control: What happens to humanity when we build a system we can no longer steer.

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I'm joined by Adam Coleman—author, campaigner, and rising political voice—for a deep dive into the state of Britain.

We discuss the impact of uncontrolled immigration, the collapse of traditional values, youth disillusionment, political cowardice, and the urgent need for localism and cultural renewal. Coleman pulls no punches on what's gone wrong and why it's time for a radical reset.

Jasmine Birtles is a financial expert, author, and founder of Money Magpie. In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, she explains why Britain's economy is teetering on the edge—from a broken tax system and bloated welfare state to personal finance illiteracy and out-of-control government spending.

We cover the exodus of wealth creators, the reality of Universal Credit traps, how schools fail to teach money skills, and why Jasmine believes a major crash might be the only path to reform. We also dive into Bitcoin, gold, and the cultural stigma around financial success in the UK.

Historian and broadcaster David Starkey delivers an honest critique of modern Britain's decline—from constitutional vandalism to the death of democratic accountability. Starkey traces the unraveling of centuries-old English liberties, exposing how Tony Blair's government dismantled parliamentary sovereignty, politicised the judiciary, and empowered unelected quangos to rule by decree.

In this interview, Starkey explains why Britain is no longer a true democracy, how legal and cultural revolutions hollowed out national identity, and why the country stands at a historic crossroads. Starkey makes the case for restoring tradition, courage, and a politics rooted in freedom.

Former Conservative MP and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe joins Peter McCormack to expose the failure of Britain's political class, the betrayal of conservative values, and the rise of Reform UK.

In the interview, she discusses mass immigration, the collapse of the Tory Party, net zero extremism, unelected civil servants, the erosion of free speech, and the growing disconnect between Westminster and ordinary Britons. Widdecombe delivers a scathing analysis of how the establishment has abandoned its duty to the nation—and why political realignment is not only inevitable, but essential.

Rupert Read is a philosopher, author, and former Extinction Rebellion spokesperson who now leads the Climate Majority Project—an effort to unite people across the political spectrum around pragmatic climate action.

With a focus on adaptation, resilience, and risk management, Rupert argues that climate change is not a "woke" issue but a clear and present danger that demands sober, cross-partisan solutions. In this interview, Rupert challenges mainstream narratives, question the failures of Net Zero messaging, and explore why conservatives should take the lead on climate preparedness. From threats to national security and food supply to the economic costs of inaction, Rupert lays out a case for tackling climate change that doesn't rely on ideology—but on common sense.
