This week on The Critic Show, Tom Jones and Chris Bayliss are joined by Charles Cornish-Dale to discuss modern masculinity, the rise of the “alpha male”, and the cultural influence of Andrew Tate. Are declining testosterone levels something to be concerned about? What does this mean for our politics?

This week, Colin takes a 360-degree view of the unrest that has gripped Belfast after a Sudanese asylum seeker savagely attacked a local man. He urges viewers to condemn the violent response without ignoring the role that uncontrolled migration - and the mainstream media and progressive politicians’ failure to address it - has played in stoking community tensions in Northern Ireland. Set against this backdrop is the province’s history of sectarian violence.

This week on The Critic Show, Chris Bayliss and Tom Jones are joined by William Clouston, leader of the SDP, to discuss his paper From an Entitlement State to an Investment State. Britain has moved from a state that invests in its future to one increasingly dominated by pensions, welfare and benefits. Since the 1970s, public spending has shifted dramatically: investment in infrastructure has fallen, while entitlement spending has soared.

In this episode of Warzones, James Glancy speaks to Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation about America’s southern border, the cartels, and the changing nature of the threat inside the United States. Blair argues that the Mexican cartels can no longer be understood simply as criminal gangs, but as foreign terrorist organisations and proxies in a wider contest involving narcotics, migration, hostile states and the control of communities far from the border.

This week, Colin Brazier reflects on Brexit, what it meant to him and to his late wife, a lifelong Eurosceptic who saw leaving the EU as a matter of democracy, sovereignty and political honesty, rather than slogans or campaign spin. As failing politicians, desperately short of ideas, try to restart the Brexit wars, Colin revisits the bitterness of the referendum years, when millions of Leave voters were unfairly caricatured by political elites and the media.

This week on The Critic Show, Chris Bayliss and Henry Hill are joined by the Anglican priest, historian and ethicist Nigel Biggar. They discuss the debate around the Church of England’s push towards reparations, and how initiatives like Project Spire and the historical link to Queen Anne’s Bounty have played a role in where we have ended up today. Many of the assumptions behind reparations, such as Britain’s wealth being built on slavery, are historically dubious.

COLIN BRAZIER IS BACK. Joining Outpost exclusively for a new weekly show, Brazier, every Friday, the veteran broadcaster returns with sharp, personal and uncompromising monologues, looking at Britain, and the world, in 2026. After retiring from broadcasting in 2023 to run his family farm, Colin has picked up the microphone and returned to our screens on Outpost.

Laura shares the story behind her business, founded in 2005, and her own journey into wine, from studying Spanish to an exotic early career in Argentina. In the glass, the focus is on three Spaniards.
