BURNHAM SPEECH: PASS ME THE SICK BUCKET!  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham #LabourParty #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #NigelFarage  Is Andy Burnham the only rat attempting to jump back on a sinking ship?  The stench of hypocrisy at the TUC today was overwhelming. Burnham's back, and frankly, my vacuum cleaner has more charisma. At least the vacuum actually picks up the dirt instead of just talking about it!  The speech was all sizzle and no sausage. No detail, and—no surprise—he refused to take questions from the press again. Cowardice. He's got no mandate to lead this country. If he's so sure of these "big ideas," he should test them in a General Election now. Instead, he's standing there thanking Blunket, Beckett, and bloody Neil Kinnock. If those are your mentors, God help us all! I'm sure "Burnham the Showman" struck absolute fear into the heart of Nigel Farage... NOT! I give him until Christmas before he's replaced by a lettuce. Labour are finished. Give us a General Election NOW!  Jon Gaunt, JonGauntTV, Andy Burnham, TUC speech reaction, Labour Party, Nigel Farage, General Election, UK Politics, Political Commentary, Burnham vs Starmer, Burnham lettuce, Showman Burnham, British Politics news  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham #LabourParty #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #TUC #PoliticalReaction #NigelFarage #Burnham  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

BURNHAM'S LEFT-WING COUP? HAS BRITAIN BECOME A BANANA REPUBLIC? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #ReformUK #GeneralElection #UKPolitics Westminster has done it again. Today Labour MPs queued up to salute their new leader as if the British people don't matter. No General Election. No manifesto. No mandate. Just another Westminster stitch-up. They tell us to shut up and accept it. I say rubbish. This country doesn't belong to MPs. It belongs to us. Today I'm asking whether Britain has become a democracy in name only. Has Parliament become a private members' club that picks Prime Ministers while voters are expected to clap politely? Are we becoming a Banana Republic where Westminster insiders decide who governs while the British people are expected to keep quiet? And isn't the timing remarkable? Reform UK has been leading the opinion polls for months. Nigel Farage has become the biggest electoral threat to the Westminster establishment. Yet while Andy Burnham gets the red-carpet treatment, Farage finds himself under relentless political and media scrutiny. Coincidence? Or panic from an establishment that knows the public has had enough? Tonight we'll debate:

ENGLAND WERE BRILLIANT!

As we come to the 250th celebration of America's founding, what is happening in our country? Pundits, writers, historians, political scientists, and average citizens are all trying to take stock of where we are as a nation. In this episode, we seek perspective by returning to the conversation between Mark Labberton and David Brooks immediately following the 2024 election, before the beginning of Trump's second term and all the events that have unfolded since. Whether you come to the 250th celebrating our national life, or questioning our national life; whether you're in support of what's happening currently in America, or whether you're overwhelmed by so much that you wish was different, may we give thanks. Thanks be to God for the place that we get to live, even as it's a place that is struggling to reach its ideals, and may we continue to pray and seek its welfare, its justice, its purpose, its fairness, and its equity. In this episode, Mark Labberton welcomes David Brooks (The Atlantic, formerly of The New York Times) for reflections about the 2024 General Election, the state of American politics, and how we got here. Together they discuss the multi-generational class divide; sources of alienation and distrust; how loss of faith and meaning influences political life; intellectual virtues of courage, firmness, humility, and flexibility; what it means to be a Republican in exile; the capacity for self-awareness and self-critique; and much more. Episode Highlights "In my opinion, Donald Trump is the wrong answer to the right question." "The flow of status and respect in this country has gone to people with elite credentials." "If you tell 51% of the country 'Your voices don't matter,' people are going to get upset." "Jesus was more a badass revolutionary than an Oxford don." "The world just loves a human being that's trying to act like Jesus."

Show Notes A spiritual or emotional crisis we're working out in American politics Should we blame inflation and economic factors? (Biden's Covid-19 overstimulation) Class divide is a generational thing High-school-educated voters are increasingly alienated from the Democratic Party Alienation and distrust is a multi-decade process Loss of Faith, Loss of Meaning, and the "Death of God" An exiled Republican "Confessions of a Republican Exile" (via The Atlantic): "A longtime conservative, alienated by Trumpism, tries to come to terms with life on the moderate edge of the Democratic Party." "I'm a Whig." ("Abraham Lincoln was a Whig.") Edmund Burke and epistemological modesty—"don't revolutionize something you don't understand." You should operate on society in the way you operate on your father, with care. Alexander Hamilton Whig tradition is unrepresented in contemporary American politics How David Brooks waffles between Democrat and Republican Isaiah Berlin: "At the rightward edge of the leftward tendency." "The capacity for self-critique" Matt Yglesias Humble, introspective, and "how did we get so out of touch?" Racism and sexism are not what's driving Trump voters "In my opinion, Donald Trump is the wrong answer to the right question." Mark Noll and America's use of the Bible: un-self-aware and un-self-critical Why is there more capacity for self-critique on the Democratic side? Jonathan Rauch and "Epistemic Regime": includes media, universities, scientific research, review process, etc. "There's still a core of people who believe 'if the evidence says x, you should say y.'" "The greatest victory in the history of the world." Intellectual Virtues: Courage, Firmness, Flexibility "Reality is constantly going to surprise you." 1980s Republicanism was more intellectually sophisticated Conservative book publishing *Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change* by Jonah Goldberg How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen by David Brooks "The Stacking Stereotype" "A redistribution of respect" (away from large swaths of America and to elites) "The flow of status and respect in this country has gone to people with elite credentials." "… almost no Trump supporters." "If you tell 51% of the country 'Your voices don't matter,' people are going to get upset." America changing beneath us High level of spiritual and moral authority and low level of intellectual confidence The moral teaching of the New Testament "People are unitary wholes." "I became a Christian around 2013." "Jesus was more a badass revolutionary than an Oxford don." C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien's Christianity "What it's like to be in the claustrophobic mind of a narcissist." Aggression: a joyless way to see the faith What is needed? "I was a 50-year-old atheist."

JON GAUNT LIVE: ANDY BURNHAM - MESSIAH OR NAUGHTY BOY?  #JonGaunt #AndyBurnham #Live #Speech #Messiah #KingOfTheNorth #LabourParty #GeneralElection  Andy Burnham has just finished his press conference and delivered the big speech—but did he actually convince you?  The media is falling over itself to crown him the 'King of the North,' but we're looking at the cold, hard reality. What is the real cost of his grand plans? He spoke for ages, but did you notice the one thing he completely avoided? There was absolutely no mention of the one issue everyone is talking about: immigration.  And as for his big 'idea' to move Number 10 to Manchester—will that actually make a blind bit of difference to your life, or is it just more PR fluff from 'Barnum'? I want to hear from YOU. Is he the saviour the country needs, or is this just another political stitch-up without a democratic mandate? HAVE YOUR SAY LIVE!

STOP THE BURNHAM CORONATION! WE NEED AN ELECTION  #AndyBurnham #KeirStarmer #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #Democracy #LabourParty  Is Andy Burnham the "Messiah" or just another Labour disaster in the making? Keir Starmer got elected on the empty soundbite of "the adults being in charge," but within days, it was clear he and Labour had no real plan for the country. The constant U-turns and mistakes prove they are out of their depth.  Now, we are being told that Andy Burnham is the answer—a man who wasn't even an MP last week! This rush to a coronation is a disgrace and an affront to our democracy.  We don't need a bloody coup; we need a General Election. Burnham's premiership will be doomed from the outset if he doesn't have a mandate from the people. We need a plan that unites the nation, not one that spreads more division. What do you think? Is this a stitch-up? Do we need an election NOW?  Join Jon Gaunt to have your say! In this show: Why Burnham has no mandate and no plan. The failure of Starmer's "adults in charge" narrative. Why a "coronation" is an insult to British voters.  Don't forget to: ✅ SUBSCRIBE to Jon Gaunt TV for more common sense and straight-talking politics.

The pathway from Makerfield to Downing Street seems inevitable. Andy Burnham was sworn in to Parliament hours after Keir Starmer resigned and now seems set to be crowned as prime minister next month. But who is he? Ed Balls and George Osborne have known him for over 25 years, and speak to how the man they know will govern once he enters No. 10. How will his style as a footballer be reflected in his governing?Ed and George then examine the likelihood of whether Andy Burnham will call an early General Election. Either way he risks repeating the mistakes of Gordon Brown or Theresa May. Ed lays out the three tests Burnham must ask himself before going to the polls, while George lays out how a General Election could play out for the opposition parties.Finally, they turn to the man still in Downing Street. What will Keir Starmer's final weeks in post look like? Ed and George look back on the final moments of Brown's and Cameron's premierships, and what the thinking will be in the Starmer team in these final days and weeks.We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question or send a question to our social media handles:

STARMER GONE! BURNHAM CORONATION ? GENERAL ELECTION NOW!  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #LabourLeadership #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #ReformUK #NigelFarage  Keir Starmer has gone. But does that mean the British people should simply accept Andy Burnham being handed the keys to Number 10?  Jon Gaunt asks the question many voters are already asking: where is the democracy in all of this? Millions voted in a General Election based on Labour's manifesto and Keir Starmer's promises. If Labour now chooses a new leader with a completely different agenda, should the country simply accept it? Should Andy Burnham automatically become Prime Minister without a public vote? Or is it time for a fresh General Election so the British people can decide who governs the country?  We'll discuss: ✅ Starmer's departure ✅ The prospect of a Burnham leadership ✅ Whether Labour still has a mandate ✅ Reform UK's chances ✅ Nigel Farage's next move ✅ The future of Britain  Join Jon Gaunt  and tell us what YOU think.

Former Clare TD and long-serving Councillor James Breen has passed away, aged 81.   The Kilnamona native retired from politics 7 years ago following 34 years in politics.    First elected to Clare County Council in 1985, James Breen left the Fianna Fáil party and ran as an Independent candidate in the 2002 General Election, in which he topped the poll.   After he lost his Dáil seat in 2007, he was re-elected to the Council in 2009, and in 2015, he became the first person from Kilnamona to be elected as Cathaoirleach of Clare County Council. He stepped down from politics in May 2019.   James Breen is survived by his wife Eileen, sons and daughter.  To reflect on his life, career and legacy, Alan Morrissey was joined by Pat Daly, Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor, and Pat Hayes, Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor.

STARMER IS FINISHED: BUT Is ANDY BURNHAM The Answer? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #Labour #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #ReformUK Keir Starmer's authority is under intense pressure. Polls are bleak, Labour MPs are restless, and rumours of a leadership challenge refuse to go away. But if Starmer falls, is replacing him with Andy Burnham really the answer? Tonight, Jon Gaunt asks a simple question: who actually voted for Andy Burnham to become Prime Minister? Millions of people voted in the last General Election based on Labour's manifesto and on the promises made by Keir Starmer. If Labour simply swaps leaders without returning to the country, is that democratic? Or is it another example of Westminster politicians deciding they know better than the voters? We'll debate whether the real issue is not Starmer himself, but the direction of the Labour Party. Has Labour abandoned the promises it made to the British people? Has it drifted away from the concerns of ordinary voters on immigration, crime, free speech and the cost of living?  And what would Andy Burnham actually do differently? Would he tackle concerns about unequal policing and justice? Would he recognise the growing public perception that some laws are enforced differently depending on who is protesting, who is speaking, or what cause is being promoted? Or would it simply be more of the same under a different face? If Starmer is finished, should the British people be given the final say through a General Election? Join Jon Gaunt  as we debate whether changing the captain can save the ship—or whether Britain needs a completely new course. Do you think Starmer is finished? Would Andy Burnham be any better? Or is it time for a General Election? Get involved in the live chat and have your say.

This week we're breaking down how extreme the attacks on voting rights and election interference have gotten, and the case studies that prove it's not slowing down. Host Angela Rye sits down with students from North Carolina A&T, the nation's largest HBCU, who are leading the fight to restore on-campus early voting after Guilford County and the NC State Election Board pulled the site ahead of the 2026 General Election. Board Member Prentiss Haney from the Ohio Organizing Collaborative joins us to talk about the organization's recent FBI raid and what it signals about the targeting of organizers on the ground. Plus, Liban Mohamed, who is running for Congress in Utah, breaks down how the state is trying to build a case against him for violating Utah code 20A-3a-208 for assisting someone at the polls, despite him not being anywhere near the voting polls on voting day.

24 DAYS to save UK. Or get 3 more years of STARMER OR WORSE! #JonGauntTV #GeneralElectionNow #StarmerMustGo #TwoTierPolicing #ReformUK #RestoreBritain #UKPolitics #LiveDebate Is Britain on the brink? We have just 24 days to save this country from three more years of a Starmer government—or something even worse. Despite the endless U-turns, blatant lies, and calculated cover-ups, Keir Starmer remains in charge, dragging us closer to the EU and ignoring the issues that actually matter to the working class. Tonight, Jon Gaunt goes LIVE to tackle the hard truths the mainstream media won't touch: The Migration Crisis: Why are our borders still open while our concerns are ignored? Two-Tier Policing: From the Henry Nowak verdict to the streets, why does justice feel like it's only for some? Crime & Cancel Culture: The "cancer" eating away at our national identity. The Battle for the Right: Why are Farage and Lowe fighting each other instead of the real enemy? Starmer is clinging to power, and if Andy Burnham wins, the working class loses. But if he loses and Starmer stays, we still lose. It's time for the Right to put egos aside, thrash Burnham, and demand a General Election NOW. JOIN THE CONVERSATION: I want to hear YOUR views. Is it time for a total political revolution? Should Farage and Lowe join forces before it's too late?

Are all politicians liars, shysters & con men? STARMER, BLAIR, STURGEON, REFORM SPAT  #JonGaunt #jongauntTV #live #KeirStarmer #TonyBlair #NicolaSturgeon #SNP #ReformUK #NigelFarage #AndyBurnham  Is British politics nothing more than a rigged circus?  Today, we're diving into the absolute chaos that is the "State of the Nation." From the corridors of Westminster to the SNP's motorhome, the establishment is crumbling, and the British people are being left behind. Today's Battleground: The Coronation Scam: A tiny constituency is about to hand-pick our next PM. Why are we being denied a General Election? The public is screaming for a vote, but the elites are clinging to power.  Blair vs. Starmer: The ghost of New Labour is back. Why is Tony Blair suddenly criticising "Two-Tier Keir"? Is the master of spin trying to distance himself from a sinking ship?  Sturgeon's SNP "Blind Spot": Nicola Sturgeon claims she had no idea about the SNP's finances. How do you miss an £80k Jag or a £130k motorhome on the driveway? Is it incompetence or a calculated con? The Many Faces of Andy Burnham: From "Man of the People" to Brexit flip-flopper. Burnham has more positions than the Kama Sutra—can we trust a man who changes his mind as often as the Town Hall clock?  Reform UK Infighting: While the country burns, Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe are scrapping like kids in a playground. If Reform can't unite to defeat Starmer, what hope do we have? It's time to stop the games.  Join Jon Gaunt LIVE as he tears into the liars, shysters, and con men running this country into the ground. JOIN THE CONVERSATION LIVE AT FIVE!

DO RACHEL REEVES AND KEIR STARMER DESERVE TO BE HECKLED?  #RachelReeves #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #CommonSense #LaborHypocrisy #GeneralElectionNow #BritishValues  Rachel Reeves got a reality check today! A "white van man" heckled the Chancellor at a petrol station, and now the political class is in a total meltdown. The pearl-clutching commentators are out in force, whining about "civility" and "manners" in UK politics. Rachel even had the patronising cheek to say that the man heckling her "wasn't a very British thing to do!" Really, Rach? Since when did you become the arbiter of what is or isn't British? I'd say standing up to a hypocrite and speaking your mind is about as British as it gets!  I'll tell you what manners are, Rach! Manners are NOT lying on your CV. Manners are NOT lying in your manifesto. And manners are certainly NOT ripping off pensioners' fuel allowances while you sit smugly in Whitehall!  If these hypocrites want to talk about manners, let's start with the basic decency of telling the truth to the British public. They want us to stay quiet while they dismantle the country? I don't think so. It's time to test this "stinking smug hypocrisy" with a General Election! HAVE YOUR SAY: Is heckling a legitimate form of protest when politicians stop listening? Or have we lost our way? I'll be reading your comments and reactions throughout the show—get stuck in!

When did GREAT BRITAIN become LITTLE BRITAIN? A NATION of WIMPS!

From the incoming First Minister to an impending vote on a Section 30 order and a row brewing over William Wallace's safe conduct letter.We discuss the ongoing First Minister elections, with John Swinney set to be confirmed. We look at the parliamentary process, the inevitable outcome and why other party leaders put their names forward despite the forgone conclusion.Time for Scotland: John Swinney has promised a debate to ask for a Section 30 order on his first day of business. We put out a call as the Time for Scotland posse to all independence supporters to head to Holyrood with saltires next Tuesday evening to ensure the movement remains visible to broadcasters.New Cabinet: We chew over the runners and riders for the new cabinet, which John Swinney has promised will be gender-equal. Could Stephen Flynn and Stephen Gethins be stepping into key ministerial roles within the Scottish Government?Wallace's Letter: We share an exclusive tip-off from a respected Scottish historian regarding a rare safe conduct letter belonging to William Wallace. Currently on loan to Edinburgh from the National Archives at Kew, they now want it returned. Holyrood's New Presiding Officer: A look at the unexpected selection of Kenny Gibson as the new Presiding Officer, beating the supposed Scottish Government preferred candidate, Clare Haughey. Could his track record of not pulling punches liven up dull parliamentary debates?Andy Burnham and Devolution: We look South to the upcoming by-elections and Andy Burnham's push to devolve power out of London.

Starmer Give Us General Election Now Or We Face Civil War Britain is rudderless. #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #GeneralElectionNow #UKPolitics #ReformUK #CivilWar #Starmer While an internal power struggle consumes the Labour party, Keir Starmer remains a "squatter" in Downing Street. But the tide is turning. This past weekend's massive rally in London and the recent local election results prove one thing: the United Kingdom is desperate for real change. Starmer claims the upcoming by-election is a simple fight between Labour and Reform. He's wrong. We don't just need one constituency deciding the fate of our country; we need a General Election NOW. We need a genuine battle of ideas, not a managed decline by a government that has lost the dressing room and the country. Is Britain heading toward a breaking point? Can we avoid further civil unrest without a democratic safety valve? In this live broadcast, Jon Gaunt dives into: The Starmer "squatter" mentality in No. 10. Why the London rally changed the political landscape. The Reform UK vs. Labour battle—and why it matters for YOU. The urgent case for a General Election to save the country. Don't let the common-sense voice be silenced.

WHERE'S STARMER? WHO IS RUNNING THE UK NOW! WHERE'S WES?! #Starmer #WesStreeting #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #JonGauntTV #LabourCrisis Keir Starmer was always useless, but now we have descended into total chaos and a dangerous power vacuum. The wheels haven't just come off; the driver has vanished! Wes Streeting has finally walked, resigning with a scathing, no-holds-barred slagging of Starmer's leadership. But here is the kicker: he hasn't launched a leadership campaign yet. Is he waiting for the body to stop twitching, or is the Labour party in such a mess that nobody wants the top job? Meanwhile, Starmer is barricaded in Downing Street, stubbornly refusing to stand down despite the country screaming for change. This absolute nonsense cannot continue for another day. It is time to stop the games, stop the coronations, and stop the "squatting." We need to cut to the chase: We need a General Election NOW! Join Jon Gaunt LIVE as he breaks down the resignation that should have ended it all and asks the only question that matters: Who is actually running this country?
