As industry, services and politics all cede control to forces across the pond, the question of British cultural independence is more vexed than ever.

The split between Gen-Z, Nick Fuentes-loving, ultra-online activists and large swathes of Trump supporters is tearing the American Right apart. On subjects from Israel to national identity, a new faction has formed that is unsettling even core MAGA supporters. An equivalent schism is now in evidence in the UK and across Europe. Will the so-called ‘groypers’ fade away as fast as they appeared, or become the new mainstream? Rod Dreher, friend of J D Vance and supporter of Viktor Orbán, finds himself at the juncture of the two sides — and has decided to draw a line. In this special emergency event, he joins UnHerd Editor-in-Chief Freddie Sayers for a must-see conversation about the battle for the soul of the political Right.
