Tilly Middlehurst sits down with me to reveal exactly how she demolished Charlie Kirk at Cambridge - and teaches you how to do the same to any bad-faith debater. When Kirk rolled into Cambridge expecting another easy win against "woke students," he had no idea a young feminist armed with anthropology, economics, and devastating logic was about to turn his entire playbook against him. In this exclusive interview, Tilly breaks down her preparation strategy, explains why she opened by declaring "I'm a feminist" (brilliant tactical move), and walks us through the exact moment she realised Kirk would never answer a single question directly. From the "smiles-per-capita" zinger that brought down the house to her surgical use of reductio ad absurdum, she exposes every technique she used to trap Kirk in his own contradictions. Most importantly, she teaches how to handle topic-hopping, bad-faith actors, and why answering "I'd have to look into that" actually shows intellectual strength. This isn't just an interview - it's a tactical breakdown from the woman who made Charlie Kirk rage-quit his own talking points, and she's teaching you exactly how she did it.
