What. A. Year.
2025 did not just happen —it blew apart the traditional political map.
Political loyalties came undone. Tribal allegiances frayed. New fault lines opened up. Reform surged. Labour imploded. The Tories remained on life support. The economy tanked. And the political compass began to point in a very different direction.
In our direction. I look back at the last year and just see one argument after another that our community has won. We are proudly ahead of the curve and now the entire political system is moving in our direction.
Which is why, this Monday, exclusively for our most committed supporters, we will be hosting an End of Year Live conversation, on the Substack App, to look back on the last year and make some predictions for the year ahead.
We will dig into:
The moments that changed the game
The narratives that collapsed, and the ones that quietly became reality
What 2025 revealed about power, voters, the public mood, and institutions
The lessons almost everyone missed
And then we will look forward to:
The spring elections, and why they matter
Intensifying Labour factionalism and a potential implosion
Where pressure is building inside Westminster.
The risks, opportunities, and shocks that could define the year ahead.
This will not be a monologue. It will be a live, interactive and candid discussion. Bring your questions, your challenges, your theories, even a drink if you fancy it.
I want our community to sign off this year feeling good about what we have achieved and feeling optimistic about the year ahead. Because three words are bubbling to the surface: change is coming.
Remember: all Substack Lives are for our paid subscribers and Inner Circle members only —the people who make our work, impact, and reach possible.
If you’ve been on the fence about joining, this is the moment to do it and set yourself up for a historic year ahead. The conversation and the debate will only be getting more interesting, more historic, from here on.
Monday 1pm UK time. On the Substack App. See you there!
Matt
Hope to be there, best wishes all.
Looking forward to it!
