Brendan O’Neill is an author, journalist and political commentator, known for his bold and fearless writing on politics, culture and free speech. He is the chief political writer for spiked and hosts The Brendan O’Neill Show podcast.

Since 7 October, Brendan has become one of the most powerful and outspoken voices in support of Israel and the Jewish people. Through his articles, interviews and public appearances, he has challenged the misinformation surrounding Israel, confronted the rise of antisemitism and strongly defended Israel’s right to protect its citizens. His book After the Pogrom: 7 October, Israel and the Crisis of Civilisation examines the attacks of 7 October and the troubling response to them across the Western world.

An evening worth joining.
