  Is The UK Already Fascist? | Tilly Middlehurst

  Jun 26, 202659 min

  ⚠️ Disclaimer: Nothing in this episode constitutes a formal accusation against any individual, party, or organisation. All statements reflect the personal opinions and academic analysis of our guest and hosts, and are intended as political commentary and discussion only.This episode is sponsored by Suffrago, a polling platform where people can make their voices heard by those in power and where politicians go to listen. Find out more here: https://www.suffrago.orgKeir Starmer has just resigned. We caught up with political commentator and fascism scholar Tilly Middlehurst the morning the news broke — and the conversation went places we didn't expect.In this full episode from The Conversation Cabinet, Tilly unpacks the resignation, defends Starmer where most left-wing commentators won't, and then takes us somewhere darker: whether Reform UK exhibits fascist characteristics, why the Equality Act matters more than people realise, and whether Elon Musk now has more real-world power than any elected leader on the planet.We get into fascism theory, the five stages of political radicalisation, wealth taxes, capital flight, and why working class people keep voting against their own interests — not because they're stupid, but because the left keeps talking to them like they are.Key Topics Covered- Was the Resignation Right? Tilly breaks down the "Hold the Line" movement, why constant leadership churn is genuinely bad for the country, and what 14 years of Tories has to do with Labour's impatience problem.- Burnham vs. Reform:Why a Labour party under Andy Burnham changes the calculus, and whether that's hope or just the lesser of two evils.- Is Reform Fascist? Tilly — who literally wrote her dissertation on fascism — walks through what fascism actually means, why it never looks the same twice, and where she'd place Reform and Restore Britain on Paxton's five stages. This is academic analysis, not name-calling.- Could the UK Become Fascist? What stage one and two look like, why the aesthetics always change, and why chronically online neo-Nazis trying to bring back the swastika are, in Tilly's words, wasting their time.- The Equality Act Under Threat: What Reform's proposed "Women and Motherhood Protection Act" would actually strip away, why "pro-family" rhetoric should make your ears prick up, and what Project 2025 has to do with British politics.- Should Labour Go More Progressive or More Right? Why trying to out-Reform Reform is a losing strategy and what happened when the Democrats tried the same thing.- The Left's Problem With Working Class People: How condescending rhetoric from middle-class liberals is handing Reform their voters, and why mocking people in the comments isn't a political strategy.- Wealth, Power, and Elon Musk: Does Elon Musk have more power than a sitting head of state? Tilly says yes — and explains why owning the algorithm is a form of hard power that no prime minister can match.- Should We Tax the Wealthy? Why a wealth tax is necessary but not sufficient, what the Mamdani example in New York tells us, and why the real scandal isn't doctors on £120k — it's the 56 people who own as much as half the country combined.- Is UK Politics Being Americanised? The "yankification" of British political culture, why Starmer's fatal flaw might simply be that he isn't a populist, and what happens when voters start talking about "primaries."We would like to thank the Ian Mactaggart Programme for its support.
