The best question as it gets straight to the point. Hope they have a good answer!

Is a Trump-like revolution of the UK an option, or does the political system not allow for the type of radical change that we see in the US?

Chaps I have a four year- old who is soon to start school. I can’t afford to send them to a private school and I am gravely concerned about the state of our state education system and how it will degenerate further under the current government. Am I right to be worried and what would you do in my position?

Home school, spend time debunking the school or leave the country? Only options I can suggest.

I listened to LBC last week, for my sins, and Lewis Goodall asked something like ‘ why are right wing parties gaining support in Europe? Do you think these people are genuinely shocked that they are, being disingenuous, or just completely ideologically captured? Because, it’s blatantly obvious why.

Its easy to be dismissive and down on the UK at the moment. There are plenty of people outside of politics that have reach via podcasts and other formats that are intelligent, articulate and have a different vision of the UK. KK often says people who are successful are leaving the UK. What if those people pout the UK above their own interests and formed their own coalition and tried to force change rather than just leave the sinking ship? What does it take for this to happen?

How likely is a civil war? Will you bring David Betz on to discuss this? He discussed it with Louise Perry on her podcast.

What economic plan will set the UK back on track? Be more self sufficient and install national pride?

I have 2 sons aged 34 & 32 who no longer see a future in this country and have moved to NZ and Australia. I don't think we talk enough about the impact this has on our workforce and our families. One is an arborist and the other a science teacher. What can we do to make them want to live here?

Tell them to come to America. I live in California. There is a demand for Arborists. He will make good money if he's willing to climb trees

That might depend on when this administration gets around to focusing on letting qualified and in-demand, skilled people into this country as opposed to what we faced the last four years.

You and many others have said that it is necessary to restore a sense of Britain being a worthy country and a keeper of Enlightenment values. Considering that I vaguely remember one of you mentioning being a teacher, how would you start this in the classroom? Thanks.

What do you think of the state of young boys and young men In the U.K. ? And is Konstantin worried about this as a father of a son?

It seems the realisation of "replacement" is becoming more and more apparent in Britain, whether you believed in this pernicious theory or not. Is Elon Musk even close in his prophecy for civil war in Britain or will we just "muddle along" until the moment of his truth. Like a cultural bankruptcy, "slowly at first, then all at once!".

1. What is the likely outcome of the investigation into grooming/rape gangs? Some heads should definitely roll, but will they?

2. I’m an immigrant from Eastern Europe, lived here 18 years, and I’m finding myself baffled by the fact that I seem to be more proud and more in love with UK than some brits themselves. How do we change that, how do we make young people love this country as some integrated immigrants do?

3. Is reform party going to crush the next election?

What do you think about the claim that reform party as right as they are on immigration are just a single issue party that if elected would only effectively solve the one issue they stand for but ruin the rest of it?

Furthermore what do you think about the toxic relationship between media and the government and the media’s role in toxifying politics and making it a popularity contest instead of a place to serve the public?

I'm interested on your reflections on your Kemi Badenoch interview and the potential future of the Conservative Party. I feel she seems a very intellegent, honest and principled person who I can't help but admire but it appears she may be unpopular on both sides of the aisle.

I was somewhat surprised in your interview that she seemed less open and more political and defensive than when I'd seen her in long form interview before. I also felt you weren't quite as relaxed and conversational as you usually are and seemed a bit more confrontational.

Does she have an impossible job on her hands or do you think there was realistically a better choice to be had?

Ironically she has made me think I might vote conservative for the first time in my life whilst all others are stopping!
