Keir Starmer's conference speech is getting heaps of praise after he finally went hard against Farage. But has he done enough to show he's in control, or is the Labour messaging still all over the place? Plus, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, isn't going away. He says he wants the UK to rejoin the EU, but do they want us? And does Labour even want him!?

Nadine Dorries was once a Tory loyalist and Boris Johnson's closest ally — now she's defected to Reform UK, the party leading the polls under Nigel Farage. She claims Farage is the only leader who can deliver the change communities need, but are Reform's headline promises really workable? And how does Dorries reconcile joining a party whose leader launches blistering attacks on her old boss, Boris Johnson? She joins Cathy Newman for her first sit down interview since defecting.

Krisenstimmung für Keir Starmer im Vereinigten Königreich. Der Labour Parteitag in Liverpool ist für den britischen Premierminister alles andere als ein Selbstläufer. Seine Umfragewerte im Tief, die Menschen enttäuscht und unzufrieden und die Rechtspopulisten von Reform UK zumindest im Moment die lachenden Dritten. In Umfragen ist die Labour-Partei weit hinter die rechtspopulistische Partei Reform UK zurückgefallen. ARD London-Korrespondent Christoph Prössl erzählt uns in dieser 11KM Folge, wie sich die Stimmung im Vereinigten Königreich entwickelt und was die Deckel von Colaflaschen damit zu tun haben.

En la primera hora de Capital Intereconomía repasamos las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa. El primer análisis lo realizó Pablo de Vicente, asesor financiero de Evolutio Capital Investment, con especial atención al comportamiento de las bolsas y la visión macroeconómica global. En el repaso de prensas económicas, nacionales e internacionales, entrevistamos a Gustavo de Arístegui, diplomático, para analizar la actualidad internacional: el plan de paz para Gaza pactado por Trump y Netanyahu, el endurecimiento de la política migratoria de Keir Starmer para frenar a Farage en Reino Unido y el alivio en la UE tras la clara victoria europeísta en Moldavia.
The PM took on what he called the "enemies of national renewal" in his conference speech today - accusing Nigel Farage of exploiting the “politics of grievance”.Keir Starmer instead pledged a Britain "built for all" - he spoke of the fight for the "soul" of the country. It was all spelt out in quite stark terms, and Starmer's clearest enunciation yet that he sees Farage and Reform, not Badenoch and the Conservatives, as his main threat. He portrayed a new political clash - between decency and division. The Labour faithful lapped up his patriotic lines, and cheered his attacks on Reform. He nodded to Oasis and the Lionesses in declaring that Britain isn't broken. Is that a smart strategy? Or is he risking painting Labour as defenders of the status quo? Is he making the same mistakes as Joe Biden?Jon and Lewis speak to the health secretary, Wes Streeting, about whether the PM is getting his message across to voters.

Keir Starmer can't stop talking about Nigel Farage — branding him “racist” and “grubby” over his call to reform right-to-remain rules. Now Rachel Reeves and David Lammy have joined in the attacks. But the reality? Farage is living rent-free in Labour's head. Latest polls show if there were an election today, Nigel Farage would be heading for Number 10. Meanwhile, Starmer risks alienating millions of voters by smearing everyone concerned about mass immigration as “racist.” To make things even messier, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is now proposing immigration rules almost identical to Farage's. So… is she a “racist” too? Join Jon Gaunt as he breaks down the chaos, the polls, and why Farage has become the unexpected star of Labour's big event. #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourConference #UKPolitics #ReformUK #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE #Starmerout #ImmigrationDebate #SmallBoatsCrisis #RachelReeves #DavidLammy #HomeSecretary #MassImmigration #LabourParty #ConservativeParty #BritishPoliticsLive #FaragevsStarmer #FarageSpeech #LabourConference #UKPolls #UKImmigrationCrisis #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Labour Conference, Starmer Out, UK Politics, Reform UK, Jon Gaunt, Shabana Mahmood, Live, Immigration Debate, Small Boats Crisis, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Home Secretary, Mass Immigration, Labour Party, Conservative Party, British Politics Live, Farage vs Starmer, Farage Speech, Labour Conference, UK Polls, UK Immigration Crisis, Jon Gaunt, Shabana Mahmood, LIVE This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has branded Nigel Farage's agenda the “single greatest threat” to British people's livelihoods at her Labour Party Conference speech in Liverpool.

Can Farage be stopped, and if so, by who?Nick Cohen talks to Ed Hodgson from the More in Common think-tank about growing concerns over the potential shift towards extreme right-wing politics by Nigel Reform & his latest insurgent party Reform and the implications for British society and the political landscape. Ed Hodgson explores divisions in British society and the rise of the Reform, while examining public sentiment towards immigration policies and the challenges facing Labour under Keir Starmer's leadership. The conversation concluded with an analysis of the current political dynamics, including the complexities of the British electoral system and the challenges of polling and predicting future elections.Farage's Right-Wing Political ShiftNick and Ed discuss Reform's potential shift towards extreme right-wing politics, citing Farage's recent proposals to abolish indefinite leave to remain and his embrace of pseudoscientific claims. He argues that Farage's rhetoric is being influenced by Trump and that the British media and political class have not adequately recognised this shift. Ed and Nick discuss ways in which mainstream parties can counter the toxic messaging from the extreme right and & its apparently unstoppable rise. these divisions in British society and the need to address extremism.Farage Trump worship could backfire Ed says Farage's craven worship of Donald Trump and his copying out of the worst of MAGA excesses - particularly on prurient and untrue allegations again migrants - could backfire among Brits who increasingly see the US as a hositle power, adding, "...people who say America is an ally in Britain has fallen to less than half. Right. In America, More than 80% of Americans think that Britain is an ally. So there's this weird sort of one way relationship going on, at least in a public opinion perspective, where Americans still feel very close to Britain and Britain's in many way do feel quite close to America."Who are More in Common?More in Common is a think-tank that seeks to understand polarisation and to work on initiatives to tackle division in our society.

On Nick Ferrari at Breakfast:Starmer has called Reform UK's migrant policy 'racist' & 'immoral'. Nick speaks with Head of Policy at Reform, Zia Yusuf The government announce a new scheme to help get young people into work. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, joins live from the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool All this and more on Nick Ferrari: The Whole Show Podcast.
Labour politicians are upping their attacks on Nigel Farage and Reform UK in Liverpool. Rachel Reeves took to the conference stage to brand Farage "the single greatest threat to our way of life". And over the weekend, Keir Starmer levelled the accusation that Reform's policy on deporting migrants with indefinite leave to remain was "racist". The shift in tone is not without risk - with the tabloids already accusing the PM of labelling voters more generally who are concerned about migration as racist. But so far at party conference, cabinet ministers appear to be more comfortable defining themselves against their enemies and making the moral case for Labour in government.Is that what the party activists, and the public, need to hear? And are there still inherent contradictions with that Labour is saying about its plan in office?Later, Lewis and Jon speak to Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary also vying to be deputy leader of the party. She had a major announcement today about bringing back maintenance grants to some working class university students - and she came over to the News Agents stand to talk about that, Nigel Farage, Andy Burnham and the case she's making for deputy.

After almost 2 years of Israel's genocide in Gaza, Western powers have issued synchronised declarations recognising Palestinian statehood - a diplomatic move seemingly born out of the immense public pressure they face. What's missing from the story is the concrete measures those governments could take to stop the slaughter in Gaza, as well as their complicity by continuing to supply weapons to Israel.

The ghost of Enoch Powell punches the air as Farage announces jaw-dropping plans for mass deportations and tearing up Indefinite Leave to Remain, claiming it will save Britain over £230bn (it won't). Is Reform succumbing to the gravitational pull of the far-far-far right or just showing its true, cruel face? And does Labour's feeble response that “this plan won't work” just accept the premise of a hateful piece of self-harm?

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: In this episode I sat down with Alex to explore how media manipulation creates the illusion of free speech. Together we looked at how figures like Nigel Farage and major outlets are often positioned not as independent voices, but as part of a controlled narrative that ultimately serves establishment interests.We dug into the tactics used to provoke division in society, the way media shapes public perception, and how political figures are strategically placed to keep control over public sentiment. Alex and I both emphasised the need to question these narratives, step outside the mainstream bubble, and commit ourselves to genuine truth-seeking.For alot more info see my substack post.Much love, as always.Doc MalikLinksWebsite www.thinkingcoalition.orgIMPORTANT INFORMATIONCONSULTATION SERVICEIn a world of rushed 7-minute consultations and endless referrals, I offer you something rare: time, context, and clear guidance.As your health advocate, I can help you:Understand your diagnosis and decode medical jargonDecide who to see: GP, specialist, osteopath, physio, accupuntcurist, homeopath etc?Break down treatment plans in plain, easy to understand non jargon EnglishPrepare for surgery, understand your risks, obtain true informed consent, and optimise yourself pre-op Recover from surgery, advise you how to heal faster and quicker and minimise post-op complicationsManage chronic illness with lifestyle, mindset, and dietary changesExplore holistic options that complement conventional careImplement lifestyle changes like fasting, stress reduction, or movementAsk better questions, and get real answersGet an unbiased second opinionReady to Take Control?If you're navigating a health concern, preparing for a big decision, or simply want to feel more confident in your path forward, I'd love to support you.Book here https://docmalik.com/consultations/ Because it's your body, your life, and your future.

Now she is threatening to pull the union's funding for the party entirely.In a wide-ranging interview, she tells Kamal Ahmed about where Starmer is going wrong; why Reform's Nigel Farage “puts his finger on the pulse”; and the future of Unite's relationship with Labour.Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Labour conference kicks off this weekend in Liverpool – but the mood going in is far from triumphant. On today's Coffee House Shots, Lucy Dunn is joined by Tim Shipman and More in Common's Luke Tryl to take the temperature ahead of Labour's big set-piece. They discuss why some voters already see Starmer as ‘just as bad as the lot that came before', and whether Labour can turn things around with new policies aimed at revitalising local communities – from saving libraries and pubs to giving residents more power over development.There is also a fascinating hypothetical poll in which an Andy Burnham-led Labour party outpaces Reform UK, turning a deficit into a narrow lead. Luke explains how Burnham's appeal lies less in his own charisma than in Labour's ability to win back disillusioned supporters from the Lib Dems and the undecided.But if Labour is struggling to meet expectations, Reform faces its own dilemmas. Farage's recent flirtation with fringe debates – from vaccine-sceptic speakers to entertaining Trump's edict on paracetamol – risks alienating the mainstream voters. As Tim and Luke point out, Reform's future depends on whether it can stay focused on bread-and-butter issues like immigration and the cost of living, or whether it strays into conspiratorial territory.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Plus, Adam is joined by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC's international editor, to discuss his new Panorama - Gaza: Dying for Food.

The Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth has concluded with a speech from leader Sir Ed Davey. While the current crop of Liberal Democrats are the most successful third-party in 100 years, they have faced questions about why they aren't cutting through more while Nigel Farage is. It's something Davey is aware of and – hoping to exploit how divisive the leader of Reform is – he sought to pitch himself as the anti-Farage. Will it work?Plus, more bad news for the Chancellor. Labour had pledged to aim for the highest growth in the G7. New figures from the OECD did upgrade their global growth forecast, including for Britain, but projected that the UK would see the highest inflation across the G7. How bad is this for Rachel Reeves?James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

On the UK's working-class unrest. Sociologist Lisa McKenzie talks to Alex and contributing editor Lee Jones about why the country feels like a powder-keg. What's behind protests like Unite the Kingdom? How responsible are far-right agitators? Why are threats posed to women and children such an explosive issue? What is the type of nationalism that is behind the proliferation of English and British flags? What are Farage's Reform promising and will they deliver? What of the immigration question? How is Corbyn's "Your Party" going, and why can't the Left seem to speak for or to the working class?

Nigel Farage has unveiled his most radical immigration plan yet – scrapping indefinite leave to remain for migrants – in a move designed to reverse the so-called 'Boriswave.' James Heale explains how this would affect hundreds of thousands already living in the UK, why the party claims it could save £250 billion, and whether any of it is remotely feasible.Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has formally recognised Palestine as a state, a decision hailed by many Labour MPs but criticised by others as diplomatically reckless. And, to round off a busy political Monday morning, the government has approved a second runway at Gatwick – but will it really boost growth before the next election?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Tim Shipman.
