Brendan O’Neill is one of the English-speaking world’s foremost political commentators.

He’s come to fore as the excruciating drama of Britain’s departure from the European Union edged on.

I first spoke to Brendan leading up to the 2016 referendum when I was talkRADIO evening show host. I’ve watched him ever since, battling away for the 17.4m who voted Leave.

In a Jewish and Israel podcast, I frame our discussion around the hard-left and its changing attitude to national self-determination, Israel and the anti-Zionist antisemitism which has followed.

We also draw the obvious parallels between Brexit and Israel the nation state and discuss the woke left’s latest cancellation, Julie Burchill, who is also an outspoken supporter of Israel and the Jewish people.

There’s football’s “taking the knee”, being Irish, buying your council house and civil liberties in the era of Covid.

“I didn’t desert the left, the left deserted me!”, explains Spiked’s editor.

I can’t thank Brendan enough for this captivating and hugely popular episode.
