Harry Cole Saves The West

British and American top guns have China in their sights this week as they battle to win the most sophisticated shoot ‘em up ever played. But 22,000ft above the Nevada desert this was no video game, with billions of pounds worth of US and UK fighting tech pushed to their limits. Elite pilots are experiencing what it would be like to be caught up in a deadly conflict amid Beijing’s relentless ambit...

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s much-hyped trip to China was supposed to be a diplomatic coup, instead he came home with little more than hollow promises. According to former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Starmer arrived back into the UK with “absolutely nothing” to show, except perhaps his pride in tatters. Sir Iain doesn't mince his words on China’s record: forced labour, organ har...

Donald Trump says he’s ready to strike a deal with Iran. But ex-US National Security Advisor John Bolton isn’t buying it, “it’s a waste of oxygen,” Bolton says. As Iran’s nuclear ambitions creep back into the headlines, the former White House hawk tells Harry Cole that it’s time to stop talking and start striking. Is there any deal with Iran that would satisfy Bolton? In a word: no. “This regime’s...

The British monarchy has faced its fair share of scandals, but nothing quite compares to the current meltdown. Ex-Prince Andrew, once known as 'Randy Andy', now finds himself stripped of titles, exiled from the Royal family, and at the centre of an international media frenzy. If you thought the House of Windsor had reached rock bottom, think again. The castle walls are shaking, and the stain, it s...

A bombshell from Washington DC has exploded right in the middle of the UK government, dragging PM Keir Starmer and his team into a political maelstrom. The appointment of Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the US is now the focus of a firestorm (and a police investigation), after allegations relating to Jeffrey Epstein, that were so toxic, even the Cops have asked Parliament to keep some evidence un...

Britain’s plan to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is causing a diplomatic stink that’s reached the White House, with Donald Trump branding Brit PM Keir Starmer's deal “a great stupidity” and former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith has jetted to Washington to try and torpedo the deal. With the islands hosting Diego Garcia, one of the world’s most important military bases, critics fear the mov...

If you thought the Epstein saga died with the man himself, think again. The ghosts of his emails, photos, and eyebrow-raising guest lists are still haunting the corridors of British power, and the fallout is proving fatal for some of the UK's most illustrious (and, frankly, clueless) public figures. From Prince Andrew’s catastrophic royal tumble to Peter Mandelson’s reputation now resembling burnt...

Former US President Donald Trump has unveiled a “Board for Peace” at Davos, promising to rebuild Gaza. But with Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, and even Putin rumoured to have a seat at the table, comedian and activist Amer Zahr says the only thing being built right now is confusion. Trump, with his trademark hubris, now “owns” the plan. Could his ego force progress? “Maybe,” Zahr suggests, “if he real...

Welcome to the wild world of American politics, where the only thing more confusing than the border is why Minnesota is suddenly the hottest spot for immigration busts. On Harry Cole Saves the West, YouTuber and political commentator Destiny (Stephen Bonnell) joins Harry Cole for a fiery exchange about ICE agents, Trump’s border bravado, and why “the sausage doesn’t have to be made this way.” The...

One of America’s most senior diplomats has accused Sir Keir Starmer's government of “authoritarian intentions” and warned they will legislate against British regulators' attempts to police the internet. US Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers also cautioned against an expansion of facial recognition technology and AI policing in the UK in light of clampdowns on free speech. The top Trump administ...

Kimberly Klacik, GOP commentator and former Congressional candidate, explains the chaos in Minnesota: Republican states work with ICE, blue states don’t. In places like Minneapolis, ICE are having to hunt down suspects in the streets with Klacik saying left-leaning officials are “deliberately causing chaos” by refusing to cooperate, while Harry Cole questions if ICE is being “deliberately antagoni...

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, William Taylor, joins Harry Cole to analyse the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, the evolving positions of President Trump, and the prospects for a ceasefire. The discussion covers Western strategies, internal Ukrainian politics, and the economic and diplomatic pressures shaping the potential for peace. Can Trump strong-arm Putin into peace? Former US Ambassador...

Harry Cole is joined by pollster James Johnson to discuss the political implications of Robert Jenrick's defection from the Conservative Party to Reform UK. Nigel Farage’s Reform Party is now the political Marmite: love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it. With a string of Tory defectors, they’re now the “sensible minds” for disaffected Conservatives. Johnson makes it clear that Keir Starmer will n...

Steve Hilton, ex-adviser to the UK's David Cameron and Fox News’s favourite Brexiteer-in-exile, is now topping the polls as the Republican frontrunner for Governor of California. His mission? “Make California golden again”—preferably before it’s completely bankrupt at the hands of Democrat elites. Hilton’s campaign is all about “Cal-affordability”—his catchy new slogan. The plan? Axe the Democrats...

Donald Trump has rowed back on his threat to slap tariffs on the UK and NATO allies who opposed his ambitions to annex Greenland, after he and the alliance’s chief “formed the framework of a future deal” for the Arctic region. Following a “very productive meeting” with NATO secretary general Mark Rutte on the fringes of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Trump suggested he had now reconsidered....

If you ever thought Britain’s armed forces were ready for anything, think again. According to Robert Clark, the MOD needs another £400bn ($537bn) between now and 2040. With Putin's Russian subs lurking off UK shores, and Keir Starmer writing cheques the military can’t cash, it’s a wonder Britain still has an armed force. “It’s bordering on professional negligence,” Robert Clark says. Promises of p...

Tonight President Trump, celebrating the first year of his second term, treated journalists to a marathon press conference. The topics? His “successes”, his enemies (“they’re laughing because they’re winning!”), and the price tag for Greenland. Broadcaster Andrew Neil joined Harry Cole for a post-match analysis, and he wasn’t mincing words. “It’s the end of the world order as we’ve known it for 80...

Harry Cole speaks to Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends to explain how Keir Starmer's left-wing government, feeling the weight of colonial guilt, decided to give Diego Garcia to Mauritius after a non-binding UN court resolution, and why President Trump has dropped truth bombs on Keir Starmer.

Is the “special relationship” between Britain and America still special, or has it gone a bit needy and not quite what it used to be? Former UK trade minister Sir Conor Burns joins Harry Cole to spill the tea on everything from dodgy visas to London’s lost sparkle, Trump’s iron grip, and why British politicians seem about as effective as chocolate teapots. Sir Conor says a number of Americans are...

Harry Cole is joined by The Sun's Political Editor Jack Elsom, and The Sectator's Deputy Political Editor James Heale to dig into and analyse what Robert Jenrick's shock defection to Reform means for the British political landscape and The West. And What does this mean for Keir Starmer's Labour Party leadership? In the most dynamite defection to Nigel Farage’s party yet, the Shadow Justice Secreta...

Reform UK recruit Robert Jenrick tonight launched a spectacular attack on his former Tory pals after he was sacked for treachery. In the most dynamite defection to Nigel Farage’s party yet, the Shadow Justice Secretary jumped ship after he was caught by party leader Kemi Badenoch, who swiftly fired him this morning. Extracts of his resignation speech had been left “lying around” before being found...

Harry Cole is joined by reporters who broke the sensational story of the Havana Syndrome cover up: Nicky Woolf and Tom Rogan. For nearly a decade, something strange has been happening to American diplomats, intelligence officers, and military personnel around the world. Sudden waves of pressure. Piercing sounds. Vertigo, memory loss, brain injuries so severe some victims were forced out of service...

On today's upload Harry Cole is joined by American commentator Jon Levine, from the Washington Free Beacon, for an in-depth look at the bloody crackdown in Iran — where thousands of protestors demanding freedom and justice have been killed by security forces, even as the regime cuts off internet and information flows. Reports say more than 3,000 people have been killed. And yet here in the West, t...

Harry Cole is joined by Preston Byrne, a lawyer and free speech specialist, who is already taking on UK regulator Ofcom over the Online Safety Act. Governments across Asia and Europe are moving fast to rein in Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok. Malaysia and Indonesia are banning it outright, while here in Britain, Ofcom is launching a formal investigation into X over Grok’s image generation. The officia...
