SummaryLet's face it - Labour inherited a total shit show after 14 years of Tory misrule - an economy crippled by Brexit, immigration chaos, turds in our rivers and seas, and rapidly deteriorating public services. But - inevitably - it's Sir Keir Starmer who's getting the blame for the country's woes, thanks mainly to the the fickleness of the electorate as well as the country's evident decline. But Labour seems to have bent over backwards to help its opponents with self-inflicted wounds such as inept communications, avoidable scandal and bouts of epic political bungling.As the Labour Party Conference gets under way next weekend, Nick Cohen talks to Keir Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin about the prime minister's leadership position within the Labour Party, examining the PM's challenges and potential future in politics.Labour needs to expose the malice and plastic patriotism of the Far RightNick and Tom discuss the current state of Labour's position, focusing on whether Sir Keir Starmer's leadership is in jeopardy. They highlighted Labour's low vote share in the 2024 election and recent poor opinion poll ratings, including a recent approval rating of minus 54 for Keir Starmer. The discussion touches on the potential leadership challengers within the Labour Party, including, possibly the current metro-mayor for Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, with Nick noting the historic difficulty of replacing a sitting Prime Minister, particularly in the Labour Party. In contrast, as we know, the Tories have never had any problem knifing their leaders in the back - or front.Both Tom and Nick explore the broader topic of combating the far right in politics. Tom says Starmer should articulate Labour values more forcefully and espouse his own more gentle and inclusive version of patriotism in stark contrast to the nationalist bombast of Nigel Farage and and the more sinister extremism of Tommy Robinson/Yaxley-Lennon.Starmer needs to articulate & lead national renewalTom says Starmer needs to be able to convincingly argue for a gentle and inclusive patriotism, to lead a sense of national renewal and take on the plastic patriots of Farage and the far right, He says, "It's not some sepia-tinted restoration of the past. It's not some like we're going to like back ruling the waves like Boris Johnson pretended, or you where the country invented liberties. So we don't need to be members of the ECHR or this nonsense."Read all about it!The paperback version of Tom's must-read bestseller, Keir Starmer, the biography, is out now with updated chapters.Nick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

#trump2025 #Starmer #IllegalImmigration #JonGaunt #ECHR #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics Will Starmer listen… or bottle it?  Jon Gaunt says NO WAY — Sir Keir's glued to the ECHR while the borders are in chaos. He brags about his “one in, one out” plan after finally shipping ONE migrant back to France — leaving hundreds of thousands still pouring in!  TRUMP schooled STARMER on Wind farms, Putin, Free Speech, Palestine Status and Drill Baby Drill. Starmer froze like a rabbit in the headlights when grilled on Free Speech, dodging claims of 12,000 arrests over social media posts last year. And when the Mandelson questions came… panic mode! How long can Starmer duck the real issues of mass migration and free speech crackdowns? Biggest question is Why can't we have a tough leader like Trump who puts our country first?  Join in and have your say. #Trump #Starmer #IllegalImmigration #SendInTheTroops #MigrationCrisis #BorderControl #ECHR #OneInOneOut #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics #MigrantCrisis #PoliticalShowdown#JonGaunt Trump, Starmer, Illegal Immigration, Send In The Troops, Migration Crisis, Border Control, ECHR, One In One Out, Free Speech, UK Politics, Migrant Crisis, Political Showdown, jon Gaunt, This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt  

#Starmer #Deportation #Mandelson #UKPolitics #TommyRobinson #Trump #JonGaunt Keir Starmer has failed again. His one in one out deal has collapsed as predicted. Meanwhile he accuses protestors of being Far RIGHT and London Mayor Sadiq Khan has joined in too. Both are out of step with the population who want none in and all illegals out. He should listen to Donald Trump when he arrives tonight and rip up the ECHR and start mass deportations now. But he won't as he is a spineless coward as proved by him refusing to go to the Commons and answer questions about his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson to Washington. He is playing for time as Parliament is about to go into recess for two weeks. He mustn't be allowed to dodge scrutiny.

Dr. Alice Donald, Professor of Human Rights Law at Middlesex University, is one of the author's of a report that was recently published this week from the Bonavero Institute at Oxford University on media coverage of the European Convention on Human Rights.We examine the findings of the report, the prevalence and impact of misreporting, the role of the convention in areas beyond immigration, the political debate surrounding potential withdrawal and the impact on the Good Friday Agreement, and the responsibilities of public service journalism in informing the public.The fact that his son liked British chicken nuggets had no bearing on the case, that it was nowhere near strong enough evidence to mean that the man shouldn't be deported. So, a) it wasn't the basis, and b) the decision was overturned anyway. But it continued to be reported.Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatchTo support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.

Unpack one of the most dramatic moments in the life of the Labour government so far: Angela Rayner's resignation, a sweeping cabinet reshuffle, and Shabana Mahmood's arrival as Home Secretary. With David Lammy moved to Justice and Yvette Cooper shifted to the Foreign Office, what does this signal for immigration, asylum, and criminal justice reform? To explore the current events in UK politics, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by Sir Jonathan Jones KCB KC, former Treasury Solicitor, and Permanent Secretary of the Government Legal Department 2014-2020. Together they offer expert legal commentary on the growing calls to repeal the Human Rights Act, withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and even abandon the Refugee and Torture Conventions. They discuss whether such moves are legally possible in UK law, the lessons from Denmark's hardline asylum model, and the challenges of redefining refugee status in a world of mass displacement and criminal gangs exploiting the terms of the 1951 Convention.   The conversation also tackles the complex question of whether withdrawal from the ECHR would breach the Belfast Good Friday Agreement, the role of the common law in safeguarding fundamental rights, and whether a populist government could truly legislate away protections against torture and inhuman treatment or punishment.    With the debate on human rights law at its most febrile in decades, Ken, Tim and Jonathan ask: how far could Britain really go—and at what cost to its international standing, constitutional integrity, and democratic values?

With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future. What happens when law and politics collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system? Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays. Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain.

UK is SINKING under STARMER.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation  12 months after Labour's landslide victory the UK is sinking under the leadership of Keir Starmer. What a mess! The Cabinet reshuffle last week has been widely derided as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and it appears the Captain of the ship, Starmer is not at the wheel. He wanted to sack Ed Miliband. He refused to shift so the net zero nonsense continues.  Starmer moved others around but left the architect of many of his problems in position, Rachel Reeves.  He has a new Home secretary in the shape of Shabana Mahmood who is talking tough but without ripping up the ECHR and mass deportation, the UK will still hit that massive illegal immigration iceberg.  Now Starmer is talking about Digital ID cards to combat illegal working thereby penalising us all for the failure of politicians to secure our borders or control all forms of immigration.  Instead of hiding in his bunker, Starmer should address the Nation, declare a State of Emergency, apologise for the 12 months of chaos, and actually listen to the demands of the people and act upon them.  What do you think? Tell Jon Gaunt at 6.30 tonight on this live show.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation #Bordersecurity #illegalmigrants #deputyleadershipelection, Starmer, Jon Gaunt, UK Politics, Shabana Mahmood, digital id cards, deportation Border security, illegal migrants, deputy leadership election, vlog, political commentary, opinion  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Can Starmer Survive as Farage Sets UK Politics Agenda? #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #JonGaunt #CloseHotels Nigel Farage has basically taken over the UK political agenda. Reform UK had its conference, the polls are moving fast, and we've even got Tory MPs jumping ship to join him. Meanwhile, Starmer suddenly wants to put illegal migrants in military camps and shut down migrant hotels — but let's be honest, it feels like he's copying Farage's homework. Too little, too late. But Farage? He's promising to rip up the ECHR and deport illegal migrants within two weeks of taking power. No wonder people say they trust him more than Labour or the Conservatives right now. Tonight, we'll break it all down: the polls, the defections, the immigration debate, and what this all means for the next election. Plus I will debate whether the old parties can fight back — or if Farage has already won the argument.

 Say No To Farage. Probably more than any other politician in Britain Nigel Farage was responsible for winning the vote on Brexit in 2016. He exploited racism and anti-migrant sentiment winning new converts over to an English centred- jingoistic view of the world. The dangers of Farage's xenophobic beliefs are evident daily across the British news media. Every day attacks increase on refugees and migrants.Farage has also exploited the divisions within the British Conservative Party. Theresa May and Boris Johnson said they were for completely cutting Britain from all its legal and legislative connections and treaty obligations with Europe. One of these is the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR was incorporated into the law of the North as an integral part of the Good Friday Agreement. It was written into the Agreement as a way of protecting equality and human rights and preventing any return to the discriminatory and sectarian policies implemented under the Stormont Regime.Farage has now made the withdrawal of Britain from the ECHR a major plank of his political programme for the next British general election. As the right in Britain become ever more strident Farage has set his sights, very publicly, on renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement and clearing the way to extricate Britain from the ECHR. Padraic Fiacc – A Belfast PoetPadraic Fiacc (born Patrick Joseph O'Connor) died six years ago at the age of 94. Several weeks ago a Blue Plaque was unveiled on the wall of the Falls Road Library, close to his birthplace, in memory of this redoubtable Belfast poet.His writing is not as well-known as other poets but his poems stand out for their stark language and brutal rawness, especially when he writes about the conflict. Michael and Brid McKernon, brother and sister, have been campaigning for almost twenty-five years to have Padraic Fiacc, formally recognised and accepted as an outstanding poet of his time. They believe the recent unveiling of the Ulster History Circle Blue Plaque, is a significant step in that direction. Chieftain's Walk, Doire 14th of September. 

Political figures from the right and left have suggested that leaving a European convention could reduce the number of people seeking asylum in Britain. So what is the ECHR?

Is Britain becoming a police state?This week, Ellen and Imaan are joined by Conor Gearty, a barrister and professor of human rights law at LSE, who explains how his views on the future of protest have changed. As hundreds have been arrested for supporting the recently proscribed group Palestine Action, Conor discusses his reaction to the ban. He criticises the Labour government's stance on protest, which he says panders to a “middle covert authoritarianism”.Conor also weighs in on what's at stake if Britain leaves the ECHR, and how to fortify democracy. Are protests from the political left and right treated differently? And how should Labour respond to Reform's rhetoric on human rights?Plus, Ellen and Imaan discuss the genre of “cosy crime”: banger or dud?

Britain's migration debate has reached boiling point. With migrant hotels sparking legal battles, border policies under fire, and trust in government eroding, the question is no longer just about numbers – it's about whether Britain can regain control of its borders and its future.In this edition of The Capitalist, Marc Sidwell is joined by City AM's Alys Denby and economist Julian Jessop to unpack the UK's immigration crisis, its decade of economic stagnation, and the explosive rise of Reform UK. From the economics of mass migration to the politics of the ECHR, the panel offers clear-eyed analysis on a nation at a crossroads.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Does the ECHR really block the UK's ability to implement effective immigration/asylum policies? And why is Nigel Farage doing his best to persuade the foreign US government and its increasingly far right tech bro cronies, to bully the UK over the Online Safety Act, so recently passed by Parliament? And how does this behaviour align with his loudly professed patriotism and promotion of British sovereignty?  This week on Double Jeopardy, hosts Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC provide expert legal commentary on the Court of Appeal's ruling on the Bell Hotel injunction case and discuss the broader implications of UK and European asylum policies, with special focus on Denmark and Sweden. The episode also covers Nigel Farage's political manoeuvres, the populist claim that we have a "two-tier justice" system and insights from a recent research paper examining the impacts of European Court of Human Rights rulings on UK deportation policies.    Link to the UK in a Changing Europe 2025 article by Dr Alice Donald, Dr Joelle Grogan and Victoria Adelmant located here: https://ukandeu.ac.uk/explainers/does-the-european-convention-on-human-rights-stop-foreign-criminals-being-removed-from-the-uk/ --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy.

Starmer & Cooper Betrayed Britain: Epping Migrant Verdict Fury! KeirStarmer #YvetteCooper #Epping #ECHR #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #UKNews #MigrantCrisisUK Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper are under fire after the Epping Migrant Verdict, with Labour accused of siding with illegal immigrants over the British people. The migrant crisis, Labour's immigration stance, and the ECHR are now at the centre of UK politics and breaking news. Spineless Starmer is back from his holiday. Yvette Cooper has returned from her travels. But instead of standing with the people of Epping, they stood with illegal migrants against local concerns. Has this verdict finally broken the camel's back for Labour's so-called leadership? Is Britain ready to forgive, or are Starmer and Cooper finished? Enough excuses. Enough weakness. The public deserve answers.

The Labour government is talking about Europe, attacking the opposition, and putting forward some positive ideas. Could the new school year be better for them? Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and special guest, Labour MP Andrew Lewin discuss the mechanics of a closer relationship to the EU, the half-baked proposal to leave the ECHR, political strategy on whether to attack or ignore Reform - and Andrew's very exciting proposal for a Citizens Advance, to give young people, with no access to parental wealth, a leg-up, when they actually need it. Plus regular features 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin And Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** “The technocratic approach is sensible, in normal times, but these aren't normal times… and I think people, both here and in Brussels, need to realise that there are no longer guarantees on what comes next, here or in member states - everyone is butting up against the rise of the far right. They need to act quickly and lock in as much sensible change as possible.” “Most people's position on Europe is practical. Farage is in a minority, because he is ideological about it, as is Badenoch. Both came to Parliament the week of the UK-EU summit and said they would rip the agreement - before they had seen it. Which is an extraordinary position for the leader - and wannabe leader - of the opposition and out of line with mainstream thinking. So, I do think there is an opportunity for us to be braver.” “The reason reopening the whole question of EU membership would be impossible to reopen in this parliament is that it would dominate everything else. And we were elected to fix a lot of things - public services, cost of living, that would be drowned out. Also, the EU27 are not ready, in my view, to talk about rejoin. So, my view as a backbench MP and a pro-European is that this parliament is the time to build bridges.” “We often debate inheritance tax and it is an unpopular tax. I wanted to approach it from a different perspective. This is about giving individuals agency, over something that is going to be their money anyway. That's why it's called a Citizens Advance. It's an advance on your pension, at a time it can do the most good.” ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** CALLS TO ACTION: Plant a tree for Europe and help Best for Britain here.

Nigel Farage and Reform UK have dominated the summer political agenda with radical immigration proposals: leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), repealing the Human Rights Act, and suspending the Refugee Convention. But are these policies legally possible – and politically effective?In this episode of Whitehall Sources, Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan and Jo Tanner break down:Farage's immigration plan and whether he's shaping or simply riding public opinion.Why Labour's response has been so weak – and whether Keir Starmer risks being outflanked on immigration.The Tory dilemma: can Kemi Badenoch or others reclaim ground after years of failure?Rachel Reeves' controversial proposal to slap National Insurance on landlords' rental income – will it fix the £50bn black hole or just squeeze tenants?No.10 turmoil: Starmer's shake-up of his top team, Treasury distrust, and growing Downing Street dysfunction.We also hear why Kirsty Allsopp thinks Reeves is "running the economy like Baldrick," and why some insiders fear the government could collapse if the Autumn Budget goes wrong.

Nigel Farage has announced his plan that he claims would stop all illegal immigration. It includes leaving the ECHR and sending asylum seekers back to countries even if they face the threat of torture or death. Will it work politically in the short term for Reform and practically if Farage becomes Prime Minister. And how should a Labour government - preoccupied by Reform - respond, not least when voters also have the choice of parties to the left of Keir Starmer? Plus the latest from Steve's shows at the Edinburgh festival and music choices for the last weeks of summer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today James Heale has been on quite the magical mystery tour. Bundled into a bus at 7.45 a.m. along with a group of other hacks, he was sent off to an aircraft hangar in Oxfordshire where Nigel Farage finally unveiled his party's long-awaited deportations strategy. The unveiling of ‘Operation Restoring Justice' was accompanied by some impressive production value, including a Heathrow-style departure board and an enormous union flag.The headlines of Farage's mass deportation initiative are as follows: Reform will leave the ECHR and disapply the Refugee Convention for five years if elected in 2029; a new British Bill of Rights will be introduced, with all government departments required to make the migration crisis their number one ministerial priority; and all this at a cost of £2 billion.

Today James Heale has been on quite the magical mystery tour. Bundled into a bus at 7.45 a.m. along with a group of other hacks, he was sent off to an aircraft hangar in Oxfordshire where Nigel Farage finally unveiled his party's long-awaited deportations strategy. The unveiling of ‘Operation Restoring Justice' was accompanied by some impressive production value, including a Heathrow-style departure board and an enormous union flag.The headlines of Farage's mass deportation initiative are as follows: Reform will leave the ECHR and disapply the Refugee Convention for five years if elected in 2029; a new British Bill of Rights will be introduced, with all government departments required to make the migration crisis their number one ministerial priority; and all this at a cost of £2 billion. But how realistic is it?

Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #Deportation #Starmer #ECHR #RaiseTheFlag #JonGaunt Has Nigel Farage just won the election with his DEPORTATION PLAN?  Britain is boiling over. With over 700,000 illegal migrants in the UK, taxpayer-funded migrant hotels sparking furious protests, and the Raise The Flag campaign sweeping the country—Nigel Farage has just dropped a political bombshell.  His plan? Scrap the Human Rights Act, pull us out of the ECHR, and deport tens of thousands of illegals immediately.  Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has repeatedly vowed to keep Britain in the ECHR—even as public anger explodes.  Is this the moment Farage takes the crown? Is Starmer already toast? We're live—no spin, no filter. #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #Immigration #IllegalMigration #MigrantHotels #ECHR #HumanRightsAct #RaiseTheFlag #PoliticalCrisis #Starmer #JonGaunt #Live #UKGovernment #BritishElections #PublicBacklash #ProtestsUK #PolicyChange #Westminster #UKNews #Flags #BritainFirst  Farage, ReformUK, UKPolitics, Immigration, IllegalMigration, MigrantHotels, ECHR, HumanRightsAct, RaiseTheFlag, PoliticalCrisis, Starmer, JonGaunt, Live, UKGovernment, BritishElections, PublicBacklash, ProtestsUK, PolicyChange, Westminster, UKNews, Flags, BritainFirst  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Victory in Epping! #jongaunt #Starmer #ImmigrationCrisis #Epping #BellHotel #IllegalMigrants #RwandaPlan #UKpolitics #Dover #Deportation #StateOfEmergency Victory in Epping! A judge has ordered the Bell Hotel to remove all illegal migrants within 14 days. The people stood up — and they WON.  But Britain is still being betrayed. Starmer has scrapped Rwanda, left our borders wide open, and proven he is weak.  Trump showed that strength works — he crushed illegal immigration in America within months. Starmer has delivered nothing but chaos. Now it's time for action.  A State of Emergency must be declared. Troops must be sent to Dover. The Navy must patrol the Channel. Every hotel must be cleared. Illegal migrants must be housed only in secure army camps, behind barbed wire, in tents — not in our communities. New arrivals must be returned immediately to France. The ECHR must be torn up.  The people demand deportation — not accommodation.  Starmer has lost control. Britain must take it back.  #Starmer #ImmigrationCrisis #Epping #BellHotel #IllegalMigrants #RwandaPlan #UKPolitics #Dover #Deportation #StateOfEmergency #JonGaunt  Starmer, immigration crisis, Epping, Bell Hotel, illegal migrants, Rwanda plan, UK borders, Dover, deportation, state of emergency, Navy in the Channel, troops at Dover, asylum seekers UK, migrant hotels, Britain border control  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt  

MigrationWatch #IllegalMigration #UKBorders #AlpMehmet #JonGaunt #ImmigrationCrisis Britain is facing an immigration crisis – and it's about to get worse, warns Alp Mehmet, Chairman of Migration Watch UK. In this explosive interview with Jon Gaunt, Alp – himself an immigrant – says diversity is our weakness, not our strength, and that mass immigration is turning the UK into an Island of Strangers. From Tony Blair's open-border legacy to Keir Starmer's refusal to leave the ECHR, Alp argues that our political leaders have no real plan to secure Britain's borders. He dismisses the Macron “one in, one out” deal as pointless and reveals:

Co-Pilot Pearson is taking a break but fear not, Nick Timothy is strapping in to help Co-pilot Halligan make sense of this week's madness.Liam is pleased Labour have caught up with the rest of the country in talking about addressing ‘concerns' over immigration, but is concerned they haven't given any substance to their position or how they will achieve it.Nick points out Labour scrapped the Rwanda scheme deterrent and still don't have a concrete plan other than speeding up decisions, which is leading to yet more increases in channel crossings.Strapping in, having delved into the history of the ECHR in the UK, is Lord Peter Lilley who has some myths to bust…Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Need help subscribing or reviewing?

She also takes aim at former prime minister Rishi Sunak's “broken promises” on stopping the boats, and outlines why there could be “some truth” in Nigel Farage's belief that Britain is on the verge of societal collapse.The former home secretary also explains why she remains committed to the Conservatives despite there still being “arrogance and complacency” within the party, as well as why she feels no sympathy for Rachel Reeves and her belief that Keir Starmer is “incompetent” and “a fool”.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanEditor: Camilla TomineyStudio Operator: Meghan SearleProduction assistance from James Keegan Hosted on Acast.

Starmer Copy Trump - Build UK ‘Alligator Alcatraz' to Stop Migrants! AlligatorAlcatraz #MigrantCrisis #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #Starmer #Trump Florida built Alligator Alcatraz — a 3,000-bed migrant detention centre — in just eight days. Jon Gaunt says, That's how you stop illegal immigration. No endless debates. No excuses. The UK should do the same. We're wasting £8 million a day putting illegal migrants in hotels, while our streets and services are at breaking point. Enough. We could easily convert empty warehouses, old retail units, or even temporary structures for rapid migrant holding centres. Fast processing, faster deportations — no-frills, no nonsense.  Any migrant caught working illegally — whether in cash-in-hand jobs or delivery apps — should be deported immediately. No second chances. Leave the ECHR to make this possible. Since Christmas, over 20,000 illegal migrants have entered the UK. The public has had enough — poll after poll proves immigration is the number one issue for voters. Reform UK's rapid growth proves people want action, not more talk. The UK must stop being a soft touch. It's time to get serious.  #MigrantCrisis #UKPolitics #Immigration #Starmer #Trump #BorderControl #AlligatorAlcatraz #Deportation #ReformUK #StopIllegalImmigration Jon Gaunt, Starmer, Keir Starmer, Donald Trump, Trump migrant policy, UK migrant crisis, Alligator Alcatraz, Florida detention center, UK immigration crisis, UK migrant crisis 2025, Reform UK, immigration news, UK politics, migrant crisis solution, deportation UK, border security UK, migrant hotels, stop illegal immigration UK, asylum seeker crisis, immigration crackdown  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

UK Border Crisis: Starmer Silent on Dover as 1,200 Cross in Dinghies!  #UKPolitics #DoverCrisis #BorderControl #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer Jon Gaunt breaks down the shocking failure of UK border control as 1,200 migrants crossed into Dover in a single day, while the French police stood by. Meanwhile, Defence Secretary John Healey is busy promoting increased spending to deter Russia and China, but what about threats at home? Labour leader Keir Starmer says nothing. If we can't secure our own coastline, how can we talk about global defence? Nigel Farage warned of a national emergency, and it's clear that urgent action is now needed: • Leave the ECHR • Tow boats back to France • Deploy military at key entry points • Shut down migrant hotels • Deport illegal arrivals swiftly  Join the debate LIVE – it's time for real leadership and tough decisions.

The clash between David Wolfson KC's “thin” interpretation of legal principle and Attorney General Richard Hermer's “thick” is explained through the experienced legal eyes of Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC on this episode of Double Jeopardy.   They dig into the political implications of these contrasting views, the role of parliamentary sovereignty, how the UK navigates its obligations under international law, including the Chagos Island dispute and the role of the International Criminal Court, whether the Tories will commit to repeal of the Human Rights Act and leaving the ECHR and ask whether the role and function of the rule of law can ever be approached in a non-partisan way.   Shadow Attorney General David Wolfson KC also joins Double Jeopardy to tackle one of the most pressing questions in UK politics and law today: what does the rule of law really mean - and who gets to define it?    Covering the constitutional crisis created by Brexit/Covid, the right of Parliament to legislate in defiance of international law, the domestic law tensions generated by the expansive approach to human rights law of the European Court of Human Rights and the influence of current political events including the migration debate on attitudes to the rule of law, this episode offers rare, insider insight into the legal and philosophical tensions at the heart of the British system.   If you're looking for thoughtful legal system insights, a deeper understanding of UK politics, or an unflinching look at UK law and legal battles in Britain, this episode delivers it all. Law, politics, and justice - expertly unpacked on Double Jeopardy.   -----   Covering the critical intersections of law and politics in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.   What happens when law and politics collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?   Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays at 6am GMT.   Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.   Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law.   Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.

She shares why the UK is crisis, economically, culturally, and also in public safety. From criticising multiculturalism as a cult to revealing immigration as the UK's biggest threat, Braverman discusses rape gangs, freedom of speech and why entrepreneurship is being strangled by Labour policies. She advocates for leaving the ECHR, cutting legal migration to zero, and implementing a 25% flat tax. She shares why police investigate social media posts while ignoring grooming gangs, why entrepreneurs are fleeing to Dubai and what needs to change to make Britain great again. Suella Braverman REVEALS: UK is facing multiple crises simultaneously Why public safety is all deteriorating That Immigration has become the UK's biggest threat The Police force has become two-tier with political bias Brexit's promise of controlled immigration has been betrayed The Rape gang scandal reveals systemic failures How Labour's policies are destroying entrepreneurship Why woke ideology captured British institutions BEST MOMENTS "I think we're in a crisis, frankly, economically, in terms of our culture and identity, in terms of our public safety, and I worry for the future of our country in the next generation." "I think the Conservative party had 14 years and we failed to deliver on immigration." "The 700 million pounds that Ibis have made in their 51 hotels being paid by the government to house them with asylum seekers, and they get PlayStations." "There are instances where parents of the victims were telling the police and they were arrested. In some instances. Some of the girls were arrested as well. Put on trial, you know, it's so distorted." "We couldn't deport foreign pedophiles because they would rely on the European Convention of Human Rights, and their human rights were more important than your human rights or the human rights of the law abiding majority." "If you are on the right and you express right wing views, you can expect to get the police put, issue a noncrime hate incident against you for saying a man can't be a woman."

In this video, Jon Gaunt dive deep into the current state of UK politics under Keir Starmer and explore the implications of Brexit in name only. Despite the promises of regained sovereignty after Brexit, the UK remains entangled in EU influence, particularly due to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ongoing migrant crisis and the government's inability to tackle the small boats invasion further illustrate this. With the looming threat of Donald Trump's tariffs—especially the 25% tariff on UK cars—it's clear that the UK must prove its independence from the EU to the world, including the USA. Keir Starmer, a staunch proponent of the EU, seems to be working towards maintaining the UK's close ties to the bloc, evident through his "coalition of the willing." While the EU and the UK have little sway over the Ukraine-Russia peace talks, the USA holds all the cards. Why does Starmer seem to align more with figures like Macron instead of supporting Trump's approach? Jon Gaunt argues that the UK shares far more common ground with the USA than with the EU, particularly in terms of culture, language, and politics.

‘It's not a silver bullet. It's not the most radical thing we can do!'Political Editor Christopher Hope asks Tory leader Kemi Badenoch if she has gone soft on the idea of leaving the ECHR, after it was absent on a list of policy ideas released this week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Telegraph has revealed that a family of six Palestinians seeking to flee Gaza has been granted the right to live in the UK using a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees. The Home Office initially rejected their application, but a judge overruled the decision as it breached their rights under the ECHR.It is an immigration tribunal decision which comes hot on the heels of the Albanian criminal whose deportation was halted in part because of his son's distaste for foreign chicken nuggets.Kamal and Camilla ask whether this ruling will open the floodgates for mass migration, and pose the question - who is really in control of our borders, Parliament or the judiciary?They also reflect on Kemi Badenoch's performance at Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime, as the Tory leader took the chance to grill Keir Starmer on the decision to allow the Gazan family to settle here.Read: Court gives Gazans right to settle in UKThe best (and worst) Home Counties, ranked and ratedProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Kemi Badenoch has signalled that she could change her position on the ECHR. At a conference today, she said "we will review every policy, treaty and part of our legal framework - including the ECHR and the Human Rights Act." What could this mean for the Conservatives going forward? Katy Balls discusses with Michael Gove and James Heale.
