![As the 2016 keynote speaker at the Brisbane Writers' Festival, Shriver gave a controversial speech critical of the concept of cultural appropriation 301[31 which led the festival to
"pull its links to Shriver's speech and publicly disavow her point of view" 32] Shriver had previously been criticized for her depiction of Latino and African American characters in her
book The Mandibles, which was described by one critic as racist and by another as politically misguided. 33][34] In her Writers' Festival speech, Shriver contested these criticisms of her book, stating that writers should be entitled to write from any perspective, race, gender or background that they choose. 35][31]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o2jhn7akkebvvjlirgb3a7j4/bafkreif7wv5canoajncmucyyzdymdd2h54yxcnxsprn2v7biq3zkhercoy)
![In June 2018, she criticized an effort by the publisher Penguin Random House to diversify the authors that it published and better represent the population, saying that it prioritized diversity over quality and that a manuscript "written by a gay transgender
Caribbean who dropped out of school at seven" would be published "whether or not said manuscript is an incoherent, tedious,
meandering and insensible pile of mixed-paper recycling". Penguin Random House marketer and author Candice Carty-Williams criticized the statements. 36! As a result of her comments Shriver was dropped from judging a competition for the magazine Mslexia. 37]
Shriver expressed her opposition to woke and identity politics in a 2021 interview with the Evening Standard, stating that "I don't like discrimination of any kind" but adding "there is nothing malign, initially at least, in the impulse to pursue a fairer society. The biggest problem with the 'woke' is their methods - too often
involving name calling, silencing, vengefulness, and predation." [38]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o2jhn7akkebvvjlirgb3a7j4/bafkreifiqwrqpyreq35n7lkio6imnrhn6wg4bsfe6beyqcx7ctu5ing4yu)
![Shriver has argued against migration into the
UK; in 2021, she wrote an article that stated
"For westerners to passively accept and even abet incursions by foreigners so massive that the native-born are effectively surrendering their territory without a shot fired is biologically perverse."[39][40][41] She is a patron of British population growth rate concern group
Population Matters, 42] and supported Brexit. 4]
Shriver has been an outspoken critic of what she describes as a "deeply disturbing social obsession with transgenderism," especially
following the arrest of Graham Linehan when he arrived at Heathrow airport 43] In September
2025, two years after she left the UK for Portugal, Shriver said she is now scared to travel to the country "because I'm worried that,
given what I have put into print, I could be arrested the next time I come to the UK."[44]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o2jhn7akkebvvjlirgb3a7j4/bafkreicmc6yo4jmj2odwoo7hcmjn63fmlencvv7edczvquhoxl75ovspmq)
![In a 2022 letter endorsing Republican Ron DeSantis for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Shriver described herself as a
"lifelong Democrat and reported voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. 45]
In the letter, she documents her shift away from Biden-whose presidency she says was a
"White-House-cum-care-home"-and Donald
Trump as poor leaders, and praised DeSantis for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, banning critical race theory in schools, opposing transgender involvement in women's sports, and passing the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, while noting that she disagrees with him on abortion. 45]
Shriver also unfavorably compared the charisma of Democratic contenders to the
charisma she felt DeSantis possessed. She cited a national "apoplectic loathing" for Vice President Kamala Harris, and categorically rejected both Pete Buttigieg (as a "meek softy") and Gavin Newsom (as a "slick, vain huckster" responsible for allegedly turning the state of California into an "open-air pit latrine").
[45] She expressed some appreciation for Amy Klobuchar, though also claimed she was
"hardly likeable". 45]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o2jhn7akkebvvjlirgb3a7j4/bafkreid6ap2y6vo6ufjis2l2zl73qzu77xd64sazncqsp3ifxchbx3wob4)
