Walking Through The Walk-In: Telling the true story behind the ITV drama

This special episode of the HOPE not hate (HNH) podcast is a recording of one of our fringe meetings at this year’s Labour conference.

It features a conversation between Kevin Maguire from The Daily Mirror and HNH’s Head of Intelligence, Matthew Collins, about the true story behind the dramatic new ITV series The Walk-In starring Stephen Graham as Matthew Collins.

The Walk-In tells the incredible true story about how Matthew worked with a mole, Robbie Mullen, inside the then-banned neo-nazi terror group, National Action, to foil a murder plot, save the life of the then-Labour MP Rosie Cooper, send the plotter to jail and ultimately bring down National Action for good.

It’s a remarkable story brought to life by Stephen Graham, Jason Flemyng and others. In this conversation between Matthew and Kevin, the pair examine the story behind National Action, running a mole inside the group, the pressure Matthew was put under by the security services, and the psychological toll the whole case has had on Matthew and Robbie. To close, the pair field a few questions from the floor.

TW: This episode contains discussions about subjects that people might find disturbing or upsetting.

Matthew's new book, telling the full story behind The Walk-In, is available now from the HNH webstore: https://hopenothate.bigcartel.com/product/the-walk-in-fascists-spies-lies
