A really enjoyable podcast with interesting takes on what is going on in Britain. I was a Reform candidate in the last general election. I like Rupert and Ben, but we are where we are and Reform and Farage are the only game in town to get our country back. I do share your concerns about whether Farage could run a Cabinet. However, I don't see any alternative than Reform. I just hope that I don't end up disappointed and they don't become like the Uniparties. I guess only time will tell.

What a lovely surprise. He is one of my favourite people :)

'Wayne King', that's absolutely hilarious.

I love Trump, however I do prefer Vance. I agree, I'm trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel with these tariffs.

I'll say sorry now, if I offend anyone, but I've never liked Farage, as I've said before, but I care more about the U.K. than my own personal feelings about the leader. I don't like huge egos and sadly, he is the biggest. I want people in power to love the country, more than they love themselves.

I stand with Lowe, but if we continue to split the right vote, Labour will be in forever and Greens / Gaza vote will just get bigger, which is the most detrimental thing that's ever happened in politics.

I like Jenrick a lot. Him and Lowe are magnificent.

Will, you're right, the One Nation lot are still there. They need to get out, so it doesn't matter how much I like Jenrick, he wouldn't get anything through.

Typing this makes me realise just how screwed we are.

The elites have no idea what's going on or being said on the ground here. People are livid about illegal immigration and general immigration. Every single average Joe you speak to is fuming, but they're so frightened about being called 'racist', which means more than anything. Mental, I know! It's got to the stage where being called a racist is turning into a complement, because it means you have the sense you were born with.

I have to say, I like Douglas Murray a lot. I've got all of his books and I enjoy his work. I had to turn off Rogan as both were annoying me. It was a bit of a car crash and Will, you're right, it didn't change anyone's mind.

All the very best to you both and again, thank you for this. So great to see Will :)

Can comment properly now I've listened to Dixon Fire. Another great guest. Good insights on the Reform saga from you both. Starmer is struggling to reach that tricky demographic of lifelong Labour voters. Ben is a top bloke but another party is the last thing we need now. The answer to chasing the centre vote is David Cameron. It doesn't work.

I listened to the entire Rogan, Smith, Murray podcast, and Murray was an absolute elitist arsehole; he was just a patronising state sound-bite machine. If I had any doubts before about who lines Murray's pockets, I have absolutely no doubts now. Anyone that can excuse the murder of children as war collateral has a zero moral compass. I support neither Israel nor Palestine, but I was far more drawn to the less state-propaganda argument of Smith. My advice for Smith would be to fly over there, touch the ground, then fly back, and then, according to the complete arrogant dipshit that is Murray, he's allowed an opinion.

We need to remember that it's the likes of elitist pricks like Murray, who elevate themselves to 'experts' - special advisors to truth - that got us here in the first place. Murray bats for the state; he's there to pull stupid people into the wrong arguments. Simple as that.

I don't think Douglas Murray was criticising Rogan for platforming people, he was criticising the imbalance of people he was having on, particularly when some of them didn't know anything and people who would know better don't get a chance to argue against it.

Pretty sure I said that.
