The Fly separates personal privilege from “white privilege,” tracing a childhood on free school meals, a father’s business lost to globalisation, graft through odd jobs to a late degree, and even life as an outsider in Spain. He questions whether skin colour explained his progress, argues today’s squeeze hits everyone, and urges dropping the label in favour of shared opportunity. Write the Fly Support the show

On Labour conference weekend, The Fly reacts to being branded “racist,” questions Starmer’s bid to reclaim patriotism, and skewers ID cards as control theatre rather than a fix for illegal immigration. He rails at the widening gap between voters and government, creeping taxes, and a democracy that feels performative — arguing it’s time for a radical course correction. Write the Fly Support the show
