Ben Leo said Britain is 'in its Biden era'

GB News star Ben Leo has outlined how he sees things panning out in Britain in the next five years in a conversation with American conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk.

Ben joined the activist on the Charlie Kirk Show to discuss the political outlook in Britain and drew comparison to the US.


“I always say we’re five years behind the US politically, culturally”, he said.

“The UK is in its Biden era. It’s always the dark before dawn and I said before Labour got elected last year we need a Labour government to drag this country into the gutter.

“Then we have so-called normies getting involved saying, ‘something isn’t quite right here’.

“I think we’re going through our Biden era, we’re about five years behind you [America]. I remain hopeful and faithful that we will soon be on your coattails.”

Kirk reflected on a recent trip to Britain where he clashed with liberal students at Cambridge Union.

He also joined Ben Leo on GB News to deliver a grave assessment of the state of free speech in Britain following the jailing of Lucy Connolly for a tweet about Southport.

Kirk agreed with Ben’s sentiment and reflected on his tweet that sparked liberal fury that he posted upon arriving back in America.

“If you want to renew your love of America, spend three days in the UK”, he posted.

“You will kiss the ground when you get back home.”

Speaking to Ben Leo, he said: “I think you’re right. My current assessment and prognosis was negative.

“We can get into the intelligence of Cambridge and Oxford, which was far from inspiring.

“It was an ambush, but we went through it with a smile.”

Kirk said on GB News earlier this month Britain is a “husk” of its former self and needs to “get its mojo back”.

He said: "Unfortunately, the perception among American conservatives is that this is increasingly a conquered country, and that there is not a firm opposition trying to bring Britain back to greatness.

"Look, we want this country to be great. America is Britain-obsessed, and we talk about the Royal Family all the time.

"If you come in with a British accent, we take you more seriously. My friend Steve Hilton, who was an advisor to Cameron, is literally running for governor of California.

"We love this country from afar, and we're really sad about what's happening to it, and what has happened to it. I think there's a potential political revolution that can happen here.”
