When the Labour government came to power in 2024, it faced a crisis in the criminal courts, with ever-longer delays and a growing backlog of cases. The Ministry of Justice's budget is now one third higher in real terms than in 2019, but according to the latest figures, crown court cases that are yet to be heard reached a record high of 78,329. In October, the Justice Secretary David Lammy promised extra funding to increase the number of days that English and Welsh courts will sit next year. But is throwing money at the problem enough? How can the courts service be improved, and should jury trials be limited to help clear the backlog?Also in the programme: Protests in support of the banned group Palestine Action could result in trials for as many as 2100 people - so how do courts deal with a sudden influx of cases? And are UK laws fair to football fans?

Heather Brunskell-Evans, philosopher of politics, author, and academic, speaks about her experience of having protested against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, whereby she held a placard upon which she wrote “I oppose genocide” and “I support Palestine Action.” After holding up her sign, within seconds, Brunskell-Evans was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 and was swiftly detained. Describing being held in solitary confinement overnight and detailing her treatment in detention, to include being enclosed in a caged area, Brunskell-Evans observes the juxtaposition of two types of police partisanship where, the Pride fluffy arm bands that adorned some of these officers symbolise the wider police support of gender ideology and the concommitant endangerment to women's safety, on the one hand, and on the other, the police force's disregard for civil liberties and the freedom of expression to protest a genocide. Criticising the gender-critical feminist movement which has remained tighly affixed to its Zionism and Islamophobic core, Bruskell-Evans vituperates contemporary feminism pointing to its “intellectual paucity” and “lack of ethics” at the heart of western feminism that denies the many incidents of sexual violence recorded by international and national NGOs, documenting decades of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by the Israeli forces against Palestinian men and women.

Peaceful protestors demanding the repeal of the proscription of the direct action group Palestine Action are being arrested. Their crime? Political thoughts. Standing against the mass murder being perpetrated by our Labour government, and their Zionist butchers in the middle east. The real criminals are the monopoly capitalist class in the city of London.

Katie speaks to Human Rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber about the Gaza Tribunal being held in Istanbul October 23-26, which Craig helped organize and Katie will be covering. Katie will also be delivering testimony on the media's complicity in the genocide. Then Katie speaks to three people arrested for protesting the UK's Draconian Terror Laws, which make it illegal to support proscribed organizations like Palestine Action, a direct action group from the UK and has targeted and sabotaged the Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems factories. All three are Jewish and the descendents of Holocaust survivors: Colonel Chris Romberg is a former Army officer and defence attache with the UK embassies in Jordan and Egypt. His family fled Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938. Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi is a Jewish activist and former Labor Party electee, as well as the cofounder of Jewish Voice for Labour. Carolyn Gelenter is a longtime activist since the Vietnam war and is also the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. For the full discussion, please join us on Patreon at - https://www.patreon.com/posts/israels-veterans-141778520 Craig Mokhiber is an American former United Nations (UN) human rights official and a specialist in international human rights law, policy, and methodology. On October 28, 2023, Mokhiber stepped down as the director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). In his final letter to High Commissioner, he harshly criticized the organization's response to the war in Gaza, calling Israel's military intervention a "textbook genocide" and accusing the UN of failing to act. **Please support The Katie Halper Show ** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - / thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram: / kthalps Follow Katie on TikTok: / kthalps

Ministers have spent the day in discussions about how to reverse a decision to ban supporters of the Israeli football team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, from attending a match in Birmingham next month. Also: The Government fails in its efforts to stop a challenge to its decision to ban Palestine Action as a terror organisation. And King Charles is to become the first British monarch to pray with a Pope since the Reformation 500 years ago.
Keir Starmer has leapt to the defence of Israeli football hooligans, condemning a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending an upcoming Europa League game against Aston Villa. Plus: The government have failed to stop a legal challenge against the controversial proscription of Palestine Action. With Aaron Bastani and NoJusticeMTG.
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.

L'émission 28 minutes du 11/10/2025 Ce samedi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité avec le regard international de nos clubistes : Stefan de Vries, correspondant affaires européennes pour la radio néerlandaise BNR, Meriem Amellal, journaliste à France 24, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, Zyad Limam, directeur et rédacteur en chef d'”Afrique Magazine” ainsi que le dessinateur de presse Pierre Kroll. Accord de cessez-le-feu à Gaza : quelles conditions pour une paix durable ?Ce jeudi 9 octobre, le Hamas et Israël sont parvenus à signer un accord de cessez-le-feu qui met fin à deux ans de combats dans la bande de Gaza. Entré en vigueur vendredi 10 octobre à 11 heures selon l'armée israélienne, cet accord prévoit également la libération des otages israéliens détenus par le Hamas. En échange les Palestiniens détenus par Israël seront libérés et une arrivée plus conséquente de l'aide humanitaire, auparavant bloquée par Israël, sera permise. D'ores et déjà, les chancelleries arabes et occidentales s'affairent à préparer la suite, notamment la reconstruction de la bande de Gaza, méthodiquement rasée par Israël. Cet accord de cessez-le-feu est-il le préambule d'une paix plus durable, telle que prévue par le plan élaboré par l'administration Trump ? Quel rôle les pays arabes et occidentaux sont-ils amenés à jouer ? Robert Badinter, antidote ou antithèse de la France de 2025 ? Aux grands hommes, la patrie reconnaissante. Jeudi 9 octobre, feu Robert Badinter a fait son entrée au Panthéon, 22 mois après son décès. Ancien garde des sceaux et président du Conseil constitutionnel, il s'était illustré comme un des grands hommes de la Ve République par son combat vigoureux pour l'abolition de la peine de mort, couronnée de succès en 1981, suivi de la dépénalisation de l'homosexualité l'année suivante. Son entrée dans ce temple républicain par excellence marque sans ambiguïté la reconnaissance de ses combats. Mais que reste-t-il aujourd'hui de ses engagements pour l'universalisme, l'humanisme et pour la défense de l'État de droit et des libertés publiques ? Nous recevons la journaliste et écrivaine Christine Kerdellant qui publie "Prix Nobel, le prestige et l'imposture" aux Éditions de l'Observatoire. Bien que le prix Nobel de la Paix 2025 ait été décerné à la tête de file de l'opposition vénézuélienne Maria Corina Machado, et non à Donald Trump malgré ses demandes incessantes, l'autrice ne prend pas moins soin de dynamiter l'institution. Chimie, paix, économie, physique et médecine : chaque jury est loin de la perfection, et certains lauréats ne résistent parfois pas à l'épreuve du temps. Valérie Brochard s'intéresse à nos chers voisins d'outre-Manche. Shabana Mahmood, ministre de l'Intérieur travailliste, a annoncé vouloir restreindre l'organisation de manifestations récurrentes. Une manière explicite de viser les manifestations en soutien à la Palestine. Ces dernières ont suscité la controverse ces derniers jours, en raison du soutien apporté au groupe Palestine Action, classé terroriste par le gouvernement britannique. Elles interviennent alors que le Royaume-Uni fait face à un regain de l'antisémitisme, qui a endeuillé le pays le 2 octobre suite à l'assasinat de deux personnes de confession juivedevant une synagogue de Manchester. La restriction de ces manifestations est-elle un moyen de lutter contre l'antisémitisme ou une atteinte aux libertés publiques ?Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d'employé de la semaine à Khaled el-Enany. Ancien ministre des Antiquités et du Tourisme en Égypte, égyptologue réputé, l'homme devrait prendre la direction de l'Unesco, dès le 6 novembre. Une première pour un pays arabe. Jean-Mathieu Pernin zappe sur la télévision argentine, où le président Javier Milei a troqué sa tronçonneuse pour une guitare, à vingt jours des élections de mi-mandat. Il a donné un concert de rock devant 15 000 personnes lundi 6 octobre en marge d'un meeting politique à l'occasion de la sortie de son livre vantant son “miracle” économique. Natacha Triou nous invite à méditer sur le syndrôme de l'indécision, de plus en plus prégnant face à la multitude de choix qui s'offrent à nous.28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio. Enregistrement 11 octobre 2025 Présentation Renaud Dély Production KM, ARTE Radio
This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr251010.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- Tuesday was October 7th and there were commemorations in the Israeli press as well as the international papers. In France the President, currently Macron, appoints the Prime Minister- a month ago Sebastian Lecornu was given the position, after 2 others had failed in the last 12 months, and now he has resigned- this had led to calls for Macron to call snap elections or resign- this is a political crisis talked about in the second press review. Then following Trumps apparently successful first phase of a peace deal in Palestine, the press speculated on whether he would see his dream of a Nobel Peace prize come to pass. In Venezuela there have been large protests against the US military assassinations of boats allegedly transporting drugs in the Caribbean- and President Maduro claimed to have prevented a false flag operation on the US Embassy in Caracas. An interview with Phil Gunson of the International Crisis Group on the conflict between the US and Venezuela. From GERMANY- On Friday all the boats in the Global Sumud Flotilla had been captured by Israeli troops in international waters and the crews taken to prisons in Israel. Many countries represented in the 450 crew members have objected to the Israeli action, and massive protests took place around the world. An interview with journalist and Cambridge lecturer Alina Trabattoni about the protests in Italy, calling for government action to declare Palestinian statehood and charges of genocide against Israel. From CUBA- The UK has announced plans to crackdown even further on protests- another 500 were arrested on terrorism charges on Saturday for carrying signs saying they support Palestine Action.

Following the murder of Trump ally Charlie Kirk, Christiane speaks with human rights activist Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the late civil rights icon. The two discuss the rising political violence in America and the need to seek civility. Then, Michigan's Democratic Senator, Elissa Slotkin, speaks with Christiane about what America's foreign policy should look like, following Israel striking inside Qatar and Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Plus, freed Israeli hostage Liat Beinin Atzili & filmmaker Brandon Kramer join Christiane on set in London to discuss his new film "Holding Liat," looking at how Liat's family fought for her return from Hamas captivity while also grappling with their own moral outrage over the war in Gaza and desire for peace and reconciliation. Also, Isobel Yeung reports on the UK government's decision to designate Palestine Action a terrorist group. And twenty four years after 9/11, Christiane reflects on her own coverage in the chaotic days after the attacks, and goes back to her report from Afghanistan from December of 2001, where she and her team found evidence of Osama Bin Laden's plans, his Al-Qaeda training camp, and the last place he was known to have lived before fleeing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze3DvZZIu54 Reproduced from @garlandn with thanks. • IMPERIALISM: DECADENT & DOOMED W/JOTI BRAR... Joti Brar: Earlier this week I talked with Garland Nixon about rising discontent in the imperialist heartlands as the economic crisis bites and conditions for workers become ever worse. When inflation is wiping out pay and increasing numbers of people are homeless in the richest countries in the world, is it any wonder that more people are starting to look favourably at the alternative (ie, at socialism)? We talked about the militarisation of the police as governments prepare to suppress rising dissent and unrest. And we talked about the militarisation of the economy as governments prepare to put the whole of society on a war footing. We also looked at the role of the new home secretary Shabana Mahmood, a muslim woman whose job will be to front up the ruling class's pro-zionist, anti-free-speech and anti-immigrant regimes here in Britain. We discussed the situation where police in Britain continue to carry out mass arrests of peaceful protestors holding cardboard signs in solidarity with proscribed organisation Palestine Action, even as British armed forces continue to participate directly in the genocide in Gaza. With all this evidence, it's time we woke up to the fact that neither the capitalist state machinery nor the bourgeois electoral system can be used to solve the very urgent problems we face. Instead of praying for justice (from a weighted and inherently unjust system) and nicer leaders (to front up a system of ruthless exploitation) we need to organise ourselves to dismantle this machinery of war, repression and exploitation and build a state of a new type – one where the working class wields power and takes decisions in its own interests. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!

This week's show features stories from Radio Japan, France 24, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250912.mp3 (29:00) From JAPAN- Nepal experienced massive and violent protests leading to the Prime Minister quitting- the country remains under military law until Saturday. For 2 years Japan has been releasing treated radioactive waste water into the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima nuclear power plant which was devastated 14 years ago- they hope to have the water cleared by 2051. BRICS members countries recommitted to multilateralism at a recent virtual summit. Spain announced it will impose an arms embargo and other measures on Israel. From FRANCE- Another 400 UK citizens were arrested and charged with terrorism for carrying signs supporting the group Palestine Action. Then a press review calling France the new Italy for its political instability and soaring debt. The French Prime Minister resigned and Macron picked another conservative. There is a French movement called Block Everything including using credit cards. This Wednesday was the day calling for a national strike and protests against austerity measures- figures vary but most estimates are at least 250,000 protestors, along with 80,000 special police. There were many clashes around the country and hundreds of arrests. From CUBA- An update on the Freedom Flotilla, headed to bring emergency aid to Palestine, which was bombed by a drone this week and again the next day- no one was hurt. The UN General Assembly will convene in Switzerland following the US blocking a visa for the Palestinian President.

The Matts get to grips with the turmoil of the last few days and use their meticulous political calculus to work out whether Keir Starmer is weaker or stronger than he was a week ago. Spoiler alert: they haven't got a clue. But they certainly enjoy themselves finding that out. One thing they know - the absurd Palestine Action ban must be rescinded unless Starmer wants the spectacle of police arresting people from within the audience of his own conference in Liverpool. In the second half they deal with Tommy Robinson, whose march in London this week should, they agree, be taken seriously. Robinson is not as stupid as he looks and he plays an active role in furthering the poisonous nationalistic movement headed by Reform. Enjoy!OFFER: Get The New World for just £1 for the first month.

The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, has backtracked on his pledge to stop small boats crossing the Channel within two weeks of entering government. Sir Keir Starmer's new chief secretary has denied that the Cabinet reshuffle is evidence of a government in crisis. Police have made around 150 arrests at a demonstration in London in support of the banned group, Palestine Action.
durée : 00:10:19 - Journal de 18h - Un mois après l'arrestation de plus de 400 militants du groupe Palestine Action, 2 000 de leurs membres se sont joints à la marche nationale contre la famine ce 6 septembre à Londres. Ils sont pourtant sur liste rouge depuis le début de l'été, dans un groupe considéré comme terroriste.
Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
In this charged episode of Mid-Atlantic, host Roifield Brown is joined by Palestinian analyst Mouin Rabbani, along with regular contributors Cory Bernard in Manchester and Mike Donahue in Los Angeles, to lay bare the harrowing conditions in Gaza and the political cowardice of the West. With over 60,000 Palestinians killed and famine declared by the IPC, the panel asks a blunt question: why does the so-called democratic world continue to stall, excuse, and equivocate?Rabbani underscores the systematic assault not just on Gaza, but on the Palestinian people as a whole — from military aggression and forced displacement to attempts at erasing Palestinian refugees from political consideration. The conversation pivots to the deafening silence from Washington, London, and Brussels, and the wider consequences for international law, human rights, and geopolitical credibility. Meanwhile, domestic shifts are underway: US support for Israel is fracturing along generational lines, while in the UK, groups like Palestine Action face state repression under terrorism legislation — raising questions about civil liberties and the hypocrisy of Western democratic claims.Finally, the guests wrestle with the viability of a two-state solution. Mouin Rabbani insists that any hope for Palestinian sovereignty must come with political renewal and an end to the current PA-Hamas schism. But even that hinges on one thing Western governments refuse to offer: meaningful pressure on Israel. For now, the focus must be immediate — stop the famine, stop the bombs, and stop the enabling.Selected Quotes"The PA has essentially assumed the role of a powerless spectator." — Mouin Rabbani"It's Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, 'Why are we supporting genocide?' That's how much the conversation has shifted." — Roifield Brown"You should not be able to break into an RAF base. That says more about our military than it does about Palestine Action." — Cory Bernard"The West has made Israel a special case because of the Holocaust. That indulgence is eroding — and fast." — Mouin Rabbani"We can talk about statehood tomorrow. But tonight, people are starving. Get them food." — Roifield BrownFurther Reading & ResourcesFamine Review Committee / IPC: https://www.ipcinfo.orgHaaretz Podcast & Coverage: https://www.haaretz.comInternational Court of Justice – South Africa v.

This week we're sharing an interview with Tomas Rothaus, author of the recently publish memoir, Another War Is Possible: Militant Anarchist Experiences in the Antiglobalization Era, out this year from PM Press. We speak about the anti-globalization movement and how it's remembered, debates around mass mobilizations and Black Bloc street conflicts, mentorship and inter-generationality in anarchism and the importance of a sober audacity in political struggle. Tomas has three more, related books scheduled to come out in the next 2 years listed at PM Press's website. We hope you enjoy. You can follow Tomas on Bluesky via @BatallonBakunin.Bsky.Social or check out more of his works via his author page on PM Press's website. Announcement Casey Goonan Hunger Strike We'd like to share a quick announcement that anarchist prisoner, Casey Goonan, initiated on August 29th a hunger strike in solidarity with the hunger stirke of T. Hoxha, a prisoner held by the UK of the Filton24, and the demand for her movement to a hospital due to malnutrition and medical neglect at HMP Peterborough. You can find the text of a letter describing the conditions and who to email below. The Filton24 are a group of 24 individuals being lumped by the British state for a direct action to dismantle weapons at an Elbit Systems facility in August of 2024. You can learn more about the case at https://freethefilton23.com/meet-the-filton24/ . For some context, you can check out a recent interview by 12 Rules For What podcast on the impacts of proscription by the British government against Palestine Action. The support letter for T. Hoxha reads: RALPH.LUBKOWSKI@SODEXOGOV.CO.UK HMPPeterborough.admin@nhft.nhs.uk pbfamilymatters@sodexogov.co.uk tony.simpson@sodexogov.co.uk Ian.whiteside@sodexogov.co.uk PBgeneralenquiries@sodexogov.co.uk Ian.whiteside@sodexogov.co.uk karen.reid@sodexogov.co.uk To whom it should concern, An immediate transfer of care for T Hoxha to a hospital in Northampton Healthcare Trust must be actioned. It is now day 18 of her hunger strike and medical neglect by your prison has since resulted in fever, persistent headache on the left side of her head, vomiting after taking vitamins, continued jaw pain, shedding hair and skin discoloration. Her condition is now considered in the “danger zone” by an advance nurse practitioner. That an advanced nurse practitioner was not made aware of her case until Day 17 is incredibly improper practise for the treatment of prisoners on hunger strike, failing to begin a food refusal log until Day 5 of the hunger strike and failing to appropriately maintain this since as well as, the failure to provide consistent regular medical attention, providing electrolyte sachets and monitoring have proved HMP Peterborough to be incapable of fulfilling their duty of care to prisoners in their custody. T has simply demanded her rights to fair treatment as an unconvicted prisoner of conscience. We are aware of the methods by which her rights are being removed by your prison as means of intimidation and isolation. Another Sodexo prison, HMP Bronzefield, is currently in the media and public discourse due to two deaths, an assault and forced excessive lock up of prisoners last month. Given this, I am certain that HMP Peterborough will be soon also be investigated for direct medical neglect and abuse of authority in light of the seriousness of this matter. The medical necessity of socialisation is a fact. Depriving T of the right to maintain correspondence with her community, or prevent her contribution to the improvement of your prison through work and classes indicates a concerted effort by the prison, you, to silence and allow physical harm to come to a prisoner in your care. Your actions have placed T in immediate medical distress and ANY staff in your prison aware of her case who has maintained silence and hidden behind prison procedure will be considered responsible for the deterioration of T's health and any health consequences both immediate and long term. I repeat, ANY HMP Peterborough staff that have allowed this life threatening situation to escalate to this point can be held liable. Once again, I demand an immediate transfer of care for T Hoxha to a hospital in Northampton Healthcare Trust and the prison immediately reinstate, in both writing and action, the little socialisation T's managed to have perfectly safely for a while now. Thank you for your attention to this matter. . … . .. Featured Track: Genova Libera by Brigada Flores Magon from Tout pour Tous Mentira by Manu Chao from Clandestino
Since the government's decision to proscribe the group Palestine Action, arrests have mounted across the country, raising questions not only about the group's tactics but also about the government's handling of free speech and protest rights.On today's special edition of Coffee House Shots, Michael Simmons is joined by The Spectator's James Heale and journalist Ash Sarkar to debate whether this is evidence of an increasingly authoritarian bent to Starmer's Labour. Has the ban made prosecutions easier, or has it created a chilling effect on freedom of expression? And is this further evidence of the overreach of the attorney-general, Lord Hermer?Also on the podcast, with Keir Starmer's majority secured but his party's membership dwindling, is there space for a new populist party to Labour's left? Ash defends Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana's efforts to establish Your Party. Should they be taking a leaf out of Reform's playbook?Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast.

Robert Jenrick's hanging out with the far-right at the migrant hotel protests, the Express claims “tens of millions” of Britons want a full-blown revolution, and Alison Pearson is hoping for a military coup. Why are the former law-and-order right so desperate for political violence to erupt? Plus, will Sally Rooney's reign of terror ever end? As calls mount for her to be banned (somehow) or prosecuted (somehow) for backing Palestine Action, we ask if the proscription of the Gaza protest group could get any more absurd. And in the Extra Bit: Do the right-wing anti-academia mob have a point? Is university just not worth it for some people?

In the early 20th century, in a remote village in Hungary, a group of women, driven to despair by their violent, abusive husbands, decided to take matters into their own hands. Their solution to their difficult life circumstances was arsenic, a deadly poison easily extracted from fly paper or arsenic-rich “flystones". The women began slipping this deadly substance into their husband's porridge, stews and drinks and according to some estimates, up to 300 people in the Nagyrév region were murdered in the space of two decades. In this episode, Hope Reese, author of The Women Are Not Fine, joins Róisín Ingle to explain why this deadly sisterhood of women were driven to kill, how the murders spiralled out of control and how they were eventually caught and punished for their crimes.But first podcast producer Aideen Finnegan is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including the crowning of the 2025 Rose of Tralee, Sally Rooney's support for Palestine Action and why Rhashidat Adeleke is out of this year's World Athletics Championships.

Today, we ask what happens next following the mass arrests of those demonstrating in support of the proscribed terrorist group, Palestine Action.Over 500 people were arrested on suspicion of breaking terrorism laws in London on Saturday. The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said that those in support of the proscribed terrorist organisation “Don't know the full nature” of the group. Joining Adam to discuss is the BBC's home and legal correspondent, Dominic Casciani.Meanwhile, new GDP figures show UK economic growth came in better than expected, despite slowing between April and June.

Three thousand riot police were put on standby after Friday was dubbed “anti-asylum day” by far-right organisers, with 14 protests scheduled nationwide outside of suspected asylum hotels. Tensions are high but with Keir Starmer constantly boasting about cracking down on “illegal” migrants - is the Government simply fanning the flames of unrest? The New Statesman's Britain Editor Anoosh Chakelian has been speaking to locals and asylum seekers at asylum hotels. She joins Nish and Coco to discuss why they've become such a lightning rod and what else the Government could be doing. And Labour Minister Chris Bryant has had an unorthodox path into politics - from growing up in Franco's Spain to being ordained as an Anglican priest. He answers some tricky questions on the Palestine Action arrests and landlord MPs. And digging into the mailbag, Nish gets an education on audio porn.

Hundreds of people have been arrested in London for protesting against the UK government's decision to ban the group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. We hear from one of the protest organisers, who says the right to free speech is being undermined, and from the Board of Deputies of British Jews, which supports the move.Also in the programme: after President Trump talked about Ukraine giving up territory to Russia, President Zelensky says that's not happening; and the protests in Mexico City against foreign expat gentrification.(IMAGE: Supporters of Palestine Action attend a mass protest organized by the Defend Our Juries group as part of their campaign to end the proscription of Palestine Action, in Parliament Square, London, Britain, 09 August 2025 / CREDIT: TOLGA AKMEN/EPA/Shutterstock)
