Waiton a été chroniqueur pour le Times Educational Supplement (Écosse) et a écrit pour le Times, le Independent, Living Marxism et son successeur Spiked, et est actuellement chroniqueur pour le Glasgow Herald et un contributeur à un certain nombre d'émissions de radio et de télévision grand public . Il est apparu sur Sky News et a contribué au Richie Allen Show, un spectacle d'extrême droite. Il a participé à des campagnes contre la loi sur le Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. Il a critiqué les universitaires comme étouffant le débat sur les sujets transgenres, et à son tour a été critiqué pour avoir décrit le mouvement des droits des transgenres comme demandant quelque chose qui est biologiquement impossible. Il a également remis en question le soutien de l'État aux toilettes et uniformes scolaires non sexistes et décrit la dynamique des militants pour l'égalité comme potentiellement autoritaire. (fr)

Ewan Gurr of the Evening Standard describes Waiton's political background as "on the far left of the political spectrum and rooted firmly within the revolutionary communist tradition". Waiton described himself as involved in anti-racist campaigns in the 1980s and 1990s as a member of Workers Against Racism, an anti-racist group associated with the British Revolutionary Communist Party. In 2019 he joined the Brexit Party and was chosen as a candidate to be an MEP in Scotland. He was unsuccessful and later stood as for the party for Dundee West. Waiton has been a columnist for the Times Educational Supplement (Scotland) and has written for The Times, The Independent, Living Marxism and its successor Spiked, and is currently a columnist for the Glasgow Herald and a contributor to a number of mainstream radio and television discussion programmes. He has appeared on Sky News and has been a contributor for the alt-right media outlet The Richie Allen Show. He has described himself as pro-immigration, but argued that current policies needed to be changed, saying: "It's not helpful whenever someone tries to have a discussion about immigration and the racist card is thrown at them. We need to grow the economy. Immigration is pushing wages down." He has been involved in campaigns against the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act and is anti-environmentalist, saying that "the green agenda means no flying, no jobs, no growth". He has criticised academics for allegedly stifling the debate around transgender topics, and has in turn been criticised for describing the transgender rights movement as asking for something that is biologically impossible. He has also questioned the state support for gender-neutral toilets and school uniforms and described the dynamic of equality campaigners as potentially authoritarian. He is also critical of lockdowns put in place by the Scottish government as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying: "The 'Stay at Home, Protect the NHS' mantra encouraged people with the virus to be stuffed into homes and that has probably helped to kill some of those people rather than encouraging a more flexible approach." His claims were criticised by Dundee City Council leader John Alexander and the Scottish government. (en)
