What have Britons got against America?
British favourability dropped sharply sometime around 2016 and then further declined in 2024. Trump is clearly the main driver of negative feelings, although not the only one. There was much antipathy in 2020, which may have been related to the election but seems more likely due to the chaotic scenes that followed George Floyd’s death. To discuss this, Freddy Gray is joined by Ed West, who has written about this for his Substack The Wrong Side of History.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

How the Declaration of Independence made America
King Charles and his wife Camilla have been on a state visit to the White House meeting Donald Trump and the First Lady. At a state banquet in the evening, both King Charles and Trump gave speeches celebrating the special relationship. The event marked 250 years of American independence. Freddy Gray spoke to the author Michael Auslin who wrote the book The Declaration of Independence: History, Meaning and Modern Impact which explores the Declaration of Independence as a revered relic, a symbol of American ideals, and a manufactured cultural icon in his research.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The rise of left-wing violence and why we're all numb to it
The alleged gunman from the White House correspondents' dinner has been named 31 year old Cole Allen. He was arrested at the scene armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiples knives. It later emerged the suspect sent a note to family members before the shooting, apologising to parents, colleagues and bystanders for what he was about to do.He wrote 'I apologise to everyone....who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.' He added that he may have given 'a lot of people a surprise today' and, although he did not name Mr Trump directly in the writings, he did criticise him and mentioned targeting the administration.Freddy Gray and Spectator contributor Max Horder discuss the shooter's 'manifesto', how this is a similar example to the Luigi Mangione case and why the world has become immune to political violence.
