A recent EA-CEO videocast examined the global spread of hard-right political spectacle, connecting Trump’s MAGA movement to Brexit turbulence and UFC showmanship.

The broadcast also scrutinized Elon Musk’s alleged propaganda role against the UK government, Russian hybrid warfare operations targeting sites linked to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and far-right figures including Tommy Robinson and Errol Musk fueling racist campaigns and street violence in Britain.
