This week, on another packed episode, Ashleigh, Alyx and Flint rake over the coals about: Esther Ghey, mother of Brianna Ghey, has launched a campaign called Phone-Free Education and the team consider its implications. Multiple organisations have submitted evidence to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights institutions showing that the EHRC is, to put it lightly, not really fulfilling its stated role. A symphony of statistics from two new GLP-instigated YouGov polls. Labour backbenchers warn of "chaos" if the EHRC's guidance is implemented as is, but not for the reasons you might be expecting. Before moving on to the meat of the episode, which we've developed alongside https://www.wearequeeraf.com/ and Claire Prosho (https://linktr.ee/CTransTalks). This final part in our series about the UK's Gender Clinic system looks at potential future outcomes, including: The upcoming -although much delayed- Levy Review. Suggested ways for the GIC's to deal with their extreme backlog of patients. The numerous failures of the "specialist clinic" model as it stands. A lack of consistent data standards across the clinics and why this presents a problem.

In the wake of Robert Jenrick's speech to the Conservative Party Conference likening Attorney General Lord Hermer KC to a “Mafia lawyer”, accusing him and Keir Starmer of treason in relation to the Chagos Islands agreement and calling for the sacking of “activist” Judges together with the return of political appointments to our judiciary, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC ask whether Jenrick's disgusting, populist bile make him the Stephen Miller of UK politics. They also debate the Government's kneejerk response to further demonstrations in support of Palestine Action in the form of Shabana Mahmood's promise to legislate to ban protests on the basis of “cumulative disruption” to the community, despite there being ample powers under existing laws to do just that. The duo then revisit the continuing mystery of why the DPP felt he had to abandon the criminal trial of Christopher Berry and Christoper Cash on charges of spying for China under the Official Secrets Act 1911 before finishing with praise for the judgment of Mr Justice Bennathan in acquitting a Turkish man for burning a Koran outside the Turkish Consulate in Knightsbridge earlier this year in protest at the Islamisation policies of the Erdogan government.

Is the modern Conservative Party a repudiation of the Cameron-Osborne years? George Osborne is challenged by Ed Davey, who asks him to consider whether Kemi Badenoch's leadership means there's no place for him in the party he once helped lead.Then, Ed Balls sets the record straight on one of New Labour's defining policies, revealing the true story behind making the Bank of England independent and taking credit from both Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.Also on the agenda: the breaking of unwritten rules during party conference season, the politics of attending the Women's Rugby World Cup final, and the Brexit parallels of trying to reform the ECHR.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:
Empty chairs, misspelling Britain, and a surprisingly good speech from Kemi Badenoch have brought a rollercoaster Conservative conference to a close. Ed Balls and George Osborne weigh up whether the highs outweighed the lows and ask if Badenoch has bought herself more time. And, with the threat from Reform looming, they ask: is a pact still on the table?The pair then dissect one of the conference's biggest bombshells: the pledge to leave the ECHR. Is this another Brexit-in-the-making, or a savvy political move? And could Keir Starmer, the former human rights lawyer, be the one person with the credibility to reform the system and solve one of his biggest political headaches?Plus, Ed and George dive into the Whitehall blame game over the collapsed China spy case. As the government's top figures point fingers, Ed reveals a stunning conspiracy theory about what might really be going on behind the scenes…To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:
Special guest Sam Freedman, discusses the week's big stories with Alex, Naomi, and Kenny. Is there a future for the Conservative Party? Is there a future IN the Conservative Party. Should they stick with Badenoch, or twist and risk the - incredibly - LESS likeable, Jenrick? AND - Is France basically ungovernable now? Our favourite Chevalier, Olivier Morel, talks us through the latest drama. PLUS - with a deal on Gaza close, the repercussions for Jews globally may take much longer to heal. INCLUDING - a very funny (and surprisingly angry) 'Wokey Dokey'. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “For a long time the Tories have depended on ‘the party in the media', as it is often called, to maintain their relationship with their base - the Mail and Telegraph in particular, because organisations like the BBC often take their cue from them. Losing those papers to Reform is very dangerous.” “The party is already where [Jenrick] wants it, because basically he's been shadow-leading the Tories, and it hasn't helped their poll ratings. Also, he focus-groups really badly. Even voters who agree with him dislike him. So, I don't think he is the answer to the party's problems.” “We are roughly the same distance from Labour having to call a General Election, as we are from the last pandemic lockdown. Try to conceive of that amount of stuff still to happen. For me, it's far too soon to predict how the next election will shape up.” “When challenged about the consequences of leaving the ECHR for the wider EU trade agreement Badenoch said that she could give notice to leave it all behind. Best for Britain polling shows that this plays very badly with voters who have not abandoned the Tories for Reform - and who tend to be more moderate.” “All political parties in France are behaving as if they have a majority and deserve to implement their programme. I have heard several leaders adopting a very grave tone and saying now is the time to compromise, but they mean everyone else must compromise. This is making France ungovernable.” “Will Macron resign? I think it's not in his DNA to do that at all. And on the international stage, he still believes he has a big role to play. Against that, Macron is facing criticism and even calls to resign from loyalists within his own camp and this is new.” “Whether this plan succeeds depends directly on how much pressure Trump puts on Netanyahu. the Israelis will be at the negotiation with the objective of changing the terms in a way that forces Hamas to say ‘no'.” “I have never known the Jewish community to be so divided over Israel. The sheer violence of what's happened in Gaza has pushed a lot of people into a very uncomfortable position of believing in Israel as an idea but being horrified by what the current gov't is doing.” CALLS TO ACTION: Sam's substack can be found here.

“The Tory Party isn't dead... yet.”Live from the Conservative Party Conference 2025 in Manchester, The Capitalist tests that claim with a frank post-mortem and a blueprint for revival. Host Marc Sidwell grills Tom Harwood (Deputy Political Editor, GB News) and Lord Graham Brady (former MP and long-time chair of the 1922 Committee) on whether this bruised party can regain credibility — and how fast. From the mood on the conference floor to the hard maths of the public finances, they weigh the big gambles: leaving the ECHR to make border policy bite, putting spending cuts ahead of tax hikes, and shifting the national conversation back to growth, competitiveness and a simpler, flatter tax system.Expect sharp takes on the Reform Party squeeze, why messaging matters as much as manifestos, and what Thatcher-era discipline can still teach a fractious Right. With the autumn Budget looming and trust at a premium, our guests debate whether a “strong borders, strong economy” pivot can move votes — or if this is just the first step in a long road back.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

After a brief explanation for the non-appearance of last week's episode (severe back pain and hard-core painkillers) Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC review Reform's rapidly evaporating policy agenda, Keir Starmer's rhetorical revival and Kemi Badenoch's predictable decision to dump the European Convention on Human Rights and repeal the Human Rights Act having taken legal advice from Lord Wolfson KC. They then revisit the mysterious – and as yet unexplained – decision by the DPP to abandon the prosecution of Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry on charges of spying for China two weeks before their Old Bailey trial was due to start. Was it really because UK National Security adviser Jonathan Powell directed that China could not be characterised in open court as “an enemy” under the Official Secrets Act 1911, thereby shafting the prosecution's case at the eleventh hour? Or was it to avoid the embarrassment of a hopelessly weak case being exposed by the defence? Finally, Ken celebrates Ed Miliband's Conference call for Elon Musk “to get the hell out of our politics” and doubles down on his contempt for the Silicon Valley tech tyrants who seek to lecture us about free speech and cancel culture. --- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law 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.

The shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride gave the keynote speech on day two of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, and painted the Tories as the only party trying to save the high street, as he promised to scrap business rates for 250,000 pubs, restaurants and other small businesses.Joining the Daily T after his speech, Sir Mel told Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley that he's comfortable cutting international aid to 0.1pc of GDP in order to pay for the cut, why he believes leaving the ECHR is the right thing to do and whether he thinks Liz Truss should be expelled from the party.Camilla and Tim also caught up with the shadow home secretary Chris Philp, who explained how the Tories pledge to remove 150,000 illegal immigrants will work, as well as speaking to Katie Lam, shadow home office minister and a widely-touted future Conservative leader.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

This week at a depleted Tory conference Kemi Badenoch must try and convince her party of its need to exist and of her own place at the top of it. The problem, though, is many voters simply haven't heard of her. Is anonymity worse than unpopularity? And how does she make new policy announcements without sounding like Reform-lite? We talk to Luke Tryl from More in Common. Later, what does the ECHR really do, and what would happen to Britain if we left it?

Beth's at the Conservative party conference – talking to the shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins. She says that Kemi Badenoch has shown resilience and character in her first year as party leader- but it's taken time to find confidence and her 11 months of ‘listening' and ‘absorbing' has come with ‘political knocks'. She acknowledges that she is sorry about the Tory proposal to leave the ECHR - but says politicians have to deal with the politics of today. She also reveals how her parents met at Tory conference and which politician makes her shout at TV. Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.

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?

#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?

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. Hit like, share & subscribe — this is going to be lively. #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #ToryDefections #LabourParty #PoliticalDebate #Immigration #IllegalMigrants #MigrantHotels #CloseHotels #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #BritishPolitics #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #uknews Keywords: Starmer, Farage, Reform UK, UK Politics, Tory Defections, Labour Party, Political Debate, Immigration, Illegal Migrants, Migrant Hotels, Close Hotels, Military Camps, ECHR, British Politics, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Jon Gaunt, UK News This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt
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?

Starmer #JonGaunt #FakePatriot #UKPolitics #StarmerResign #MigrantHotels #Unionflag #ECHR #YvetteCooper Flags, spin, and no answers — the Fake Patriot can't fool us anymore. Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper have been parading their “love for the flag” across the media — but people aren't buying the spin anymore. Instead of photo-ops and words, the public want action: Close the endless migrant hotels Deport illegals and leave the ECHR Secure borders with real enforcement Now, even Starmer admits he wouldn't want a migrant hotel on his street! Meanwhile, today's poll shows his lowest ratings ever. On his birthday, is it time he finally woke up to reality — or better yet, resigned?

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.

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.
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? And since we now have headline deportation plans from the parties at the top of the polls (just), which is more impressive?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Karl Williams, research director at the Centre for Policy Studies.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

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?

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:
