Carl Benjamin joins me for a conversations about the UK's decline. From moral collapse and socialism-by-stealth to town centre decay and mass apathy, we dive into what went wrong and why fixing it might not be possible through conventional politics. Carl and I share personal plans for Swindon and Bedford, compare strategies and ask whether it's time to stop waiting for government and start building parallel institutions ourselves.
