The murder of Henry Nowak sent shockwaves across Britain, after the body cam footage of police handcuffing a dying, stabbed teenager whilst he told them he couldn't breathe and had been stabbed. Julia Hartley-Brewer unpacks what this case reveals: the deadly consequence of an institutionalised ideology that has infected British policing from top to bottom.Julia is joined by commentator Benedict Spence, who argues against the left's narrative that Nigel Farage is politicising this story against the wishes of the family. He says murder is inherently political and that no victim's family holds a monopoly over public debate. Together they dissect the violent protests in Southampton, the accusations of exploitation levelled at Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, and the uncomfortable truth that two-tier policing isn't a conspiracy theory — it's written down in black and white in policing race action plans.Then, Rick Prior — former Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, who was suspended for daring to say exactly this — joins Julia to explain how DEI training, the Police Race Action Plan, and the institutional obsession with "equality of outcomes" over equal treatment has left officers terrified of being labelled racist. The result is a culture where an accusation of racism outweighs a boy bleeding to death on the pavement.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

Chris Parry and Julia discuss the Southport Inquiry - which found major failings among government agencies who failed to take responsibility for Axel Rudacabana - despite warning signals that he was a threat. The report also blamed his parents for their failure to prevent Mr Rudacabana's attack. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer is facing fury over plans critics say would tie Britain back to Brussels by the back door, with ministers seeking sweeping powers to align UK food and agriculture rules with future EU law without full parliamentary scrutiny. Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Conservative commentator Benedict Spence to ask whether Labour is quietly unpicking Brexit, and why voters are still being told that every economic woe, from stagnation to inflation, is somehow Brexit's fault.They also react to Reform UK's latest intervention on immigration, as Nigel Farage lays out the claimed cost of the “Boris wave” of legal migration under Boris Johnson. With warnings that 1.6 million arrivals between 2021 and 2024 could leave British households facing a £20,000 bill through pressure on welfare, the NHS and infrastructure, Julia asks whether Westminster is finally being forced to confront the true cost of mass migration. The debate also turns to indefinite leave to remain, welfare for foreign nationals and what a serious border policy would actually look like.Also: Rear Admiral Chris Parry joins Julia on the Iran crisis, Donald Trump's bid to choke Tehran's exports through the Strait of Hormuz, and the looming threat of an oil shock that could hammer family finances and send inflation soaring. Can the US force the Iranian regime to blink, or is the world drifting towards a much wider conflict?And Julia reacts to growing backlash over the Chagos Islands as more questions are asked about Keir Starmer's judgement on sovereignty, security and Britain's shrinking military clout.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.

Keir Starmer says the antisemitic arson attack on four Jewish ambulances in Golders Green is "deeply shocking".Julia Hartley-Brewer asks the question many will be asking: do Britain's leaders really think these violent, antisemitic acts come out of nowhere?In this episode, Julia is joined live from the scene by Gideon Falter of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, who explains how the Hatzalah emergency service is funded by the Jewish community, staffed by volunteers, and serves people of all faiths and backgrounds in North London. After ambulances were torched outside a synagogue, he warns that Britain has spent years tolerating intimidation, conspiracy theories and open hatred.Julia also speaks to Lord Walney, former government adviser on political violence and extremism, who says this kind of attack is the predictable result of weakness, double standards and a refusal to confront antisemitism before it spirals into outright violence.Also: Julia and Benedict Spence discuss the growing threat from Iran, Donald Trump's ultimatum over the Strait of Hormuz, fears over soaring energy prices, and what an attempted missile strike on the Diego Garcia base says about Britain's vulnerability in an increasingly dangerous world.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

On today's The Julia Hartley-Brewer Podcast, Julia and Benedict Spence examine Donald Trump's threats towards NATO allies and the UK's position on the Iran conflict. She asks whether Britain should deploy the navy to help protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and what the closure of one of the world's most important shipping lanes means for oil prices, energy bills and the British cost of living. Plus: the £53m support package for families hit by soaring heating oil costs, pressure on Ed Miliband's Net Zero policies, and the latest fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein revelations and questions around the vetting of Lord Mandelson.Then, Julia is joined by Matt Goodwin, author of Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam and Identity, for a conversation on mass immigration, integration vs multiculturalism, British identity, free speech, and the long-term political impact of demographic change. They discuss Britain's approach to Islam and Islamist ideology - pertinent following the Al Quds protest in London supporting the hardline Islamic regime in Iran.Matt Goodwin was the losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, representing Reform UK. He blamed the Muslim vote for his loss to the Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer, who appealed to Muslims in the constituency using messaging in Urdu, praising diversity, and taking a staunchly pro-Gaza stance.

Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by conservative commentator Benedict Spence and The New Statesman's Oli Dugmore for a no-holds-barred deep dive into the stories dominating Britain. First: the latest Prince Andrew fallout — the scandal, the whispers inside royal circles, and what it means for the monarchy's judgement and future.Then: Reform UK's hardline border proposals, including an ICE-style enforcement unit, mass deportations, visa bans for countries that won't take people back, and the row over “restoring Britain's Christian heritage”. Plus: the Whitechapel flashpoint that's gone viral — a Christian preacher, angry complaints outside a mosque, and a police officer's blunt reminder: “This is Britain” and free speech cuts both ways.

Benedict Spence, conservative commentator, and Baroness Claire Fox, independent peer and director of the Academy of Ideas, discuss how the ECHR is causing more illegal migrant hand-outs in court. High court judges ruled that the police seizure of asylum seekers' phones amounted to a violation of European Human Rights Law, in contravention of article eight of the European Convention on Human Rights. Article eight outlines the right to a private and family life. The phones were seized as the migrants came to the country, enabling the police to gather evidence about any contact between them and people smuggling gangs. So far, an average of £6,500 per person has been paid to compensate migrants. 70 migrants have been paid. It is feared the total bill could run into the millions, as more migrants who have had phones seized make claims. Reform MP Robert Jenrick called the decision to compensate boat migrants a ‘farce'. Also: proposals to ban social media for U16s - including a potential ban on virtual private networks, used to circumvent the Online Safety Act. The news that the Home Office doesn't know how many migrants are pretending to be children, The case of a Filipino migrant who was funded to change sex by the NHS - before being given the right to stay in the UK,And the think tank that has propelled Keir Starmer's rise to power - Labour Together - using a PR firm to smear journalists investigating their funding.

Back with a vengeance, Julia Hartley-Brewer unleashes a blistering takedown of BBC Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness—who've both resigned in disgrace amid explosive revelations of institutional bias. At the epicentre: the BBC's Panorama documentary scandal, where they doctored Donald Trump's January 6 speech to falsely portray him inciting the Capitol riot, sparking fury from Trump himself and demands for accountability. Joined by sharp commentator Benedict Spence, ex-BBC insider Roger Bolton, and Danny Cohen (former BBC Director of Television), Hartley-Brewer dissects the rot at the heart of the Beeb—from systemic slant on Trump to wider impartiality failures.

这期节目来聊聊《救生圈：友情以上，出轨未满》这部小制作日剧。我谈到导演风间太树的执导风格，细数几种推进剧情的用色，指出配角丰满的故事线让这部日剧远大于“全员出轨”这个噱头，最后也谈到自己对于“救生圈”的理解。这是一部迷人的深夜档，推荐给大家。Hi!In this episode, I talk about a manga-adapted low-budget Japanese TV show 'Lifebelt' (Ukiwa), which is directed by Kazama Hiroki （风间太树）and stars Kadowaki Mugi（门脇麦）.I knew Kazama san from Cherry Magic, and became fond of how he uses cinematography to tell the delicate exchanges of emotions between individuals, often in a workplace setting, and how he utilizes elements of fantasy to investigate longing between unlikely lovers. First I compare his works with that of Lucy Forbes and Benedict Spence, whose works include The End of The F***ing World. I point out Kazama and Lucy&Benedict are able to transform a seemingly cheesy story plot into something profoundly moving. Their takes on humor and awkwardness are spot-on. Their cinematography enhances the style of the production. Lifebelt follows Maiko, a newly-wed house wife, who discovers her husband Nakayama is cheating on her shortly after the couple moves to Nakayama's company's HD in Tokyo. In sadness, Maiko forms a bond with her neighbor/colleague to her husband Mr Futaba, whose wife is also cheating on him. The two neighbors, through their tiny everyday interactions, find themselves in a zone where they are closer than friends, but not quite lovers. Lifebelt asks: what keeps/drives people together? The show is charming, stylish, fun and enlightening with beautiful scenes and solid performances. Music通过点 by 三浦透子
