Is Britain about to blow?
Over the last week, the country has been rocked by intensifying public protests over immigration as well as spiralling borrowing costs on an enormous pile of debt.
The social contract is no longer working for millions of British people.
The economic model in this country no longer makes any sense at all.
And politics is rapidly fragmenting, with millions of voters now openly rejecting the old parties that led us into this mess —whether by supporting Reform, which is topping the polls, or Jeremy Corbyn’s new anti-establishment party on the left.
What we are left with is a country that feels like a tinderbox and a widespread consensus that the status-quo cannot hold.
Which is why, on Monday, we are inviting you, our readers, to an exclusive two-hour special: Is Britain about to blow?
I want to use this time to set out what I think is going on, what I think is causing it, and what I think is about to come next.
As usual, this will be a subscriber-only event —on the Substack App—restricted to our paying subscribers who make our work, influence, and reach possible.
We will dive into the longer-term pressures, the latest polling, what we can learn from what is unfolding elsewhere, and why I think we are about to witness and experience something truly historic.
And if you can’t make the slot on Monday then don’t worry —we will send the full recording out to our paying subscribers immediately afterwards so they can watch it at their own leisure.
And remember, If you are a pensioner, emergency worker, military veteran, or student, e-mail us for a discount at matt@mattgoodwin.org
Best wishes

I will very much look forward to this. I am an Epping resident and attended the protests on Sunday and last night. Last night was very calm and the point was made. Great that the council voted to close the hotel although they don't have the powers. The problem is is that these people will just be put in other accommodation which will affect other communities which while good for Epping, will not solve anything.
I’ve listened to Professor David Betz a few times on this topic and sadly agree with him and I’m guessing you Matt that this is happening at a low grade already. I’d be interested to hear what we can do to protect our country and ourselves.
