Why is Britain turning against Israel?
Former British MP and GB News presenter Miriam Cates joins Ariel Whitman to discuss Britain’s changing relationship with Israel, Labour’s appeal to Muslim and progressive voters, rising antisemitism, political Islam, immigration, and the crisis of British national identity.
Cates argues that hostility toward Israel is connected to a much deeper struggle over nationalism, Western values and how Britain sees its own history. We also discuss the future of the Conservative Party, Reform UK, Christianity, declining birth rates, and whether Britain can rediscover confidence in its own civilization.
