• It’s Podmasters’ 10th birthday! Get an extra 10% off a year’s Patreon backing. Far-right politics used to mean street thugs, secretive meeting and the ever-present threat of violence. Now the far-right is in Westminster, suited, booted and hungrier than ever for power. How did a fringe ideology move to the mainstream? Author, journalist and expert on the far-right Daniel Trilling joins Zoë Grünewald to discuss how we got here – and whether we can stop Britain’s slide into extremism. • Buy Daniel’s book If We Tolerate This: How the British Establishment Made the Far Right Respectable from our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
