But Reform have put themselves in a very convoluted philosophical position here.

So the book, and sticking with, I mean, this isn't so much winking as it is just absolutely full-throated nodding whilst having your eyes closed at far-right talking points.

The book is called Suicide of a Nation, Immigration, Islam, Identity.

And it claims to tell the story of how Britain is committing national suicide because of, amongst other things, two-tiered multiculturalism.

I wonder how the nerve would feel about this.

So in the entire book, there are 12 footnotes.

Five of those footnotes refer to Goodwin's own substack and at least two source chat GPT.

People on the internet, wags on the internet have started referring to Matt Goodwin as Matt GPT.

There's also a claim that most primary school children in Leicester, Luton and Slough do not speak English as a main language, which is obviously misrepresenting children who might speak another language at home, but learn in English at school.

And obviously, the most important thing to do is jump on the bandwagon of London bashing.

In a chapter titled London Has Fallen, Goodwin laments that the white British are a minority in nurseries across the capital and that Muslim enclaves in London are giving rise to a new and dangerous sectarianism.

And just today, on my way here from one part of London to another, I passed so many Muslim enclaves.

So many Muslims.

You can't move for Sharia law in Leicester Square.

Fuck me.

In a response posted on X, Goodwin dismissed criticism of his use of AI and he said he saw no issue in obtaining datasets via AI as long as they were cross-checked with the original source.

He also thanked the left-wing trolls and resentful, bitter, unsuccessful former academic colleagues for help drive more attention to the book.

Just a quick reminder, he lost by over 4,000 votes to the Greens in Gorton and Denton and blamed it on dangerous sectarianism amongst a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives.

The natural bedfellows are Islamists and woke progressives.

The producer would also like us to just reiterate that Andy Twelve's article about this is on the nerve right now.
