Matt Goodwin is a professor of politics at the University of Kent and the author most recently of Values, Voice and Virtue: The New British Politics. We spoke about what Matt describes as the ‘new elite’ and their enormous power over British institutions, why no one wants to be described as a member of this new elite, and why the Conservatives could yet be overtaken by a new populist Right party.

In the extended version of the podcast, we spoke about the downsides of meritocracy, elite contempt for the police, and why the ‘culture war’ is really a class war.

Kellie Jay-Keen (also known as ‘Posie Parker’) is an iconic and divisive women’s rights campaigner. We spoke about the recent violent protests against her in New Zealand, the new political party she’s founding, and how she feels about being compared with Nigel Farage. In the extended version of the podcast, we spoke about the infighting in British feminism, Posie’s original billboard campaign, and her opinions on Mary Whitehouse.

Sarah Haider is a writer, political activist, and the founder of the advocacy group Ex-Muslims of North America. Sarah is also the co-host of the podcast A Special Place In Hell, alongside Meghan Daum. We spoke about motherhood and religion, the reality of living in a multi-generational household – and why, although it does ‘take a village’ to raise a child, most people don’t want to participate in the village.

In the extended version of the podcast, we spoke about why wokeness drives people mad, the need for courtship rituals, and why living in a ‘therapeutic society’ is incredibly annoying.

My guest today is Jennifer Lahl, founder and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, Jennifer spent 25 years working as a paediatric critical care nurse, a hospital administrator, and a senior-level nursing manager. Now she works as a writer, campaigner, and documentary filmmaker, with films including Lines That Divide: The Great Stem Cell Debate, Eggsploitation, Anonymous Father’s Day, and Breeders: A Subclass of Women?, the last of which focuses on surrogacy. Her most recent film, Trans Mission: What’s the Rush to Reassign Gender? was released in June 2021. All of her films are available for free on the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network's YouTube channel.

We spoke about Jennifer’s anti-surrogacy campaigning work, how the industry has changed over time, the various health risks to both surrogate mothers and egg donors, and why businesses that offer ‘egg freezing packages’ definitely don’t have their employees’ best interests at heart.

In the extended version of the episode we spoke about the pushback Jennifer has had to her campaigning, the ethics of sperm donation, and some of the bizarre cases Jennifer has come across. You can find extended episodes, bonus episodes, and the MMM chat community at louiseperry.substack.com
