    NICK WALLIS: From the Post Office Scandal to the Trans Debate

    01/07/2026 | 31 mins.
    Investigative reporter Nick Wallis played a leading role in exposing the Post Office scandal. His BBC documentaries helped uncover the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history and led to a public inquiry. Now Nick's turning his journalistic skills to exposing the medical and safeguarding harms caused by trans ideology. But this time, he doesn't have the backing of the BBC. "I got involved when it became a free speech issue," he tells the Free Speech Union's Connie Shaw. #freespeech #transgender #bbcnews

    LIONEL SHRIVER’S chilling warning to free-speech defenders

    17/06/2026 | 44 mins.
    Is the 'vibe shift' real? Or are we kidding ourselves that we are past “peak woke”?

    Bestselling novelist Lionel Shriver joins the Free Speech Union’s general secretary Lord Young to explain why the 'long war' on free speech is just beginning.

    They discuss

    *Immigration: the subject of Lionel’s latest novel “A Better Life” and why immigration has become the litmus test for progressives.

    *The Trans Debate: Why Lionel is resisting the urge to write the "predictable" trans novel. *Ideological Conformism: The chilling reason why most intellectuals choose "ideological collusion" over truth.

    * Political Violence: Reaction to the murder of Charlie Kirk and the rising temperature of the far-left.
