How It Works

Britain is a democracy where we can say what we want. So let’s say it. Free Speech is a live debate show, hosted each month from a different location around the UK. We take a panel of MP's, celebrities and key decision makers, stir in your opinions and questions, then sit back and watch the results unfold... with a few clever tricks along the way.

The Power Bar

To power up panellists simply add their yes hashtag to one of your tweets - and to power them down simply add their no hashtag. For The Baby Britain special these are...

Justice Williams: #YesJustice or #NoJustice

Harry Cole: #YesHarry or #NoHarry

Ava Vidal: #YesAva or #NoAva

Gisela Stuart: #YesGisela or #NoGisela

The Hot Five

Live shows aside, the Free Speech team live online ALL. OF. THE. TIME. Scanning the news and views, we find out what you’re all talking about and why.

Our mission is to find The Hot Five each month – five topics that have got you talking more than any other. These five topics are constantly changing depending on what you say. As each live show nears we'll lock down The Hot Five for that month and use them to drive the discussion in the studio.

Free Speech is massively powered by your input. Jump on to Ìý²¹²Ô»å now and get involved.

Be In The Audience

If you’re 18 to 30 and like to stir up a bit of debate, then Ìý²¹²Ô»å apply to come to one of our live shows. You’ll be invited to give us a question, and in the hour before we go live we’ll choose the most popular and punchy ones to put to the panel.

Don't Be A Stranger...

Free Speech is more than just a live TV show. Between each episode our Producer James and the team want to keep talking with you about the issues that matter, from the light, fun stuff to the seriously meaty chunks.

So remember to share your thoughts on the issues with us 24/7 - like us on and follow us on .

Remember, Free Speech can change the world...
