A Bold New Chapter Begins
Politics, power, and insights—without the spin grounded in reality.
It’s time to shake things up.
After years of working behind the scenes in Westminster, advising some of the most influential people at the very top, offering sharp insights on the issues that matter most, it’s time to take things to the next level.
I’m launching not just the usual deep dive into politics this but an upfront, unfiltered, unapologetic account from a guy who has been in the room.
You won’t find sensationalism or spin—just sharp analysis, punchy takes, and a fresh perspective.
This isn’t just a collection of old clips or recycled commentary—it’s brand-new, original content that will cut through the noise.
Expect new shows, each bringing something different to the table, plus a couple of podcast series that will go even deeper. And there’s more in the pipeline—wheels are in motion.
Things might be a little rough around the edges at first, but that’s part of the process. We’re finding our feet, refining the format, and making adjustments as we go.
That’s why your feedback matters—tell me what works, what doesn’t, what you want more of, and what ideas you have. This isn’t a one-way broadcast—it’s a conversation, and I want to hear from you

The name isn’t just a nod to Westminster’s famous bar or an old parliamentary term —it’s about the true “strangers” in politics: the people.
Expect thoughtful analysis on the issues of the day as well as long running commentary covering topics like Ukraine, Gaza, and global economic peril.
