After a turbulent few weeks, Westminster is in limbo.

Until then, the drama seems to have temporarily gone out of Labour's leadership turmoil.Isabel Hardman and Noa Hoffman join Megan McElroy to discuss Starmer's ‘pompous' tone at PMQs, what is really going on with Wes Streeting, and the Essex icon causing a storm on Twitter and inside the Department for Education.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Off the back of last week's EMQs, Tamara Finkelstein sends in a correction to the idea that UK schools don't prepare for attacks like those in the US. She highlights that Jewish schools have to prepare and feel threatened in this current environment. Ed Balls and George Osborne highlight the worrying trend of antisemitism in the UK and the need for public figures to actively combat it.Aldershot MP Alex Baker then chimes in with a proposal to adopt a multilateral defence, security and resilience bank, much like Mark Carney is championing in Canada. This poses a challenge for the pair, who recognise the necessity of improving defensive relations with our allies but see the economic challenges How do prime ministers prepare for PMQs? Is it usual for the opposition to send questions in advance, as Kemi Badenoch did last week? George explains the procedure and conventions in the chamber, and how the opposition aims to catch out PMs. And finally, pollsters from More in Common reached out following the discussion of ex-PMs, on the main show, with some fascinating insight into who the public most wants to hear from.

Another dramatic revelation in the Mandelson scandal has reignited the tensions around Keir Starmer's leadership and the future of his government. Ed Balls and George Osborne reflect on the latest developments, and look forward to how this will impact the local elections in just two weeks' time. The pair question the sacking of Olly Robbins, assess Kemi Badenoch's performance at PMQs, and look at the bleak tone of the cabinet. With an extension of the ceasefire in Iran, George and Ed debate the likelihood of a lasting peace agreement. George argues there may be a workable deal on the table, while Ed is more cautious saying Iran doesn't trust the Americans, and that it's unclear who they actually should be negotiating with.Ed and George's pal Kevin Warsh faced the Senate Banking Committee ahead of his approval as Fed Chair on Tuesday, with some particularly tough questioning from Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren. The pair discuss his political savvy in the hearing and, if confirmed, how he will navigate his relationship with Donald Trump when in post.

STARMER is a LAME DUCK PM & is turning UK into LAME DUCK nation #Starmer #JonathanBrash #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #LabourRevolt #PMQs #JonGauntTV Is the game finally up for Keir Starmer? Today at PMQs, the atmosphere was like a wake, and the reason why is now clear: the rot has set in from within. When Labour backbenchers like Jonathan Brash start calling for the PM to go, you know the "Men in Grey Suits" are already sharpening their knives. Britain is currently rudderless, led by an inept PM who is now trying to prorogue Parliament next Tuesday just to avoid further scrutiny. At a time of a cost-of-living crisis and two global wars, we cannot exist like this. Starmer needs to go, and he needs to go NOW. In this live show, I'm giving you the "gloves-off" analysis of a government in total collapse. We'll discuss the significance of the Brash intervention and why Starmer is effectively hiding under his desk while the country suffers. In this live stream: The Brash Bombshell: Why a backbench revolt is the beginning of the end for Starmer. The PMQs "Wake": My reaction to the atmosphere in the Commons today. The Tactical Retreat: Why proroguing Parliament is a coward's move during a national crisis. Audience Q&A: I'll be taking your comments and questions live. What do you think? Is Jonathan Brash just the first of many to jump ship? Is it time for a total "factory reset" for the UK? Let me know in the comments!

Sir Keir Starmer claims that the evidence given by Olly Robbins "puts to bed all the allegations" he was dishonest about Peter Mandelson's vetting process as Kemi Badenoch calls on him to stand down over the scandal.

Mandelson vetting row at PMQs.

Labour is reportedly plotting for Prime Minister's Questions to be cancelled next week, meaning Sir Keir Starmer will avoid further scrutiny over the Mandelson scandal.Camilla and Tim react to party whips' “dodgy” manoeuvres and unpack this afternoon's exchange between Kemi Badenoch and Sir Keir, in which the PM admitted he had pushed for a plum ambassadorial role for Lord Doyle, his disgraced former communications chief.Plus, they ask whether the Cabinet is turning against the Prime Minister – after a circumspect broadcast round from usually loyal Pat McFadden – as the first Labour MP calls on him to resign.

After bombshells were dropped in sacked civil servant Olly Robbins' Select Committee appearance yesterday, Kemi Badenoch has kept up pressure on the Prime Minister as the Mandelson scandal grows. Laura and Andy react to the clash at the despatch box, and unpack what the ensuing discourse will mean for Starmer's hopes of staying in post.Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

Keir Starmer is facing fresh questions over the Peter Mandelson vetting scandal after the explosive evidence from former senior civil servant Olly Robbins — and the pressure on No.10 is building. Julia Hartley-Brewer asks: is the Prime Minister a dead man walking? With claims of disquiet from inside Downing Street, accusations of “jobs for the boys”, and Labour figures openly turning on their own leader, this row is fast becoming a full-blown crisis for Starmer.Joined by former Conservative adviser Claire Pearsall and independent MP Karl Turner, Julia tears into the toxic culture at the heart of government, whether Starmer misled Parliament, and why Labour nerves are jangling after PMQs and before the local elections. If the drip-drip of revelations continues, can No.10 survive the summer — or is this the scandal that finally breaks him?Also: Julia reacts to the alarming poll showing half of young people would never fight for Britain, asking what it says about patriotism, identity and whether this country is still worth defending. There's also the growing fallout from the Iran crisis and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, with warnings of higher fuel costs, rising energy bills, supply chain shocks and fresh pain for British households already squeezed by Rachel Reeves' faltering economy.And fury too over the tobacco and vapes bill, as MPs wave through a lifetime smoking ban for anyone born after 2008 — a common-sense health measure, or another open goal for smugglers, black-market gangs and the nanny state?Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.

This isn't just about Keir Starmer's "bad judgement" or Peter Mandelson's dodgy vetting—this is a NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS.  How can we trust a man to protect our borders and our streets when he can't even tell the truth about who he's putting in power?

TUESDAY: Olly Robbins—the man who sold out Brexit—faces the committee. What are they hiding? WEDNESDAY: PMQs.

PMQs is back and – predictably – Lord Robertson's intervention on the state of the armed forces dominated proceedings. The Prime Minister gave six responses to questions about defence spending, none of which addressed the criticism properly. While it was not a painful session for Starmer, it did show how little he has to say and how little authority he seems to have over such a serious matter. Why can't he just answer the question? Does he want to be back in opposition?Megan McElroy speaks to Tim Shipman and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Megan McElroy and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Starmer is a dead man walking and he knows it!  #JonGauntTV #Starmer #PMQs #UKPolitics #CostOfLiving #FuelTax #IranCrisis #LeadershipCrisis #DeadManWalking #JonGaunt In a time of unprecedented domestic and global crisis, the British people are crying out for leadership and big ideas. But nearly two years into his premiership, it's clear Keir Starmer has neither. Today at PMQs, the mask didn't just slip—it fell off. Challenged by the Speaker to actually answer a question, Starmer showed he is a man with no plan beyond calling for another meeting and blaming the previous administration.  The "manifesto of change" has become a manifesto of U-turns. He knows the clock is ticking, and the country knows it too. Keir Starmer is a dead man walking, and tonight, we're breaking down why his time is up.  Tonight's Key Topics: The Iran Crisis & The Leadership Void: As tensions escalate in the Middle East, where is the British plan for Iran? We discuss why a "strategy of silence" and endless meetings are putting our national interests at risk. A Real Plan for the Cost of Living: While Starmer dithers, the solutions are obvious. Why won't he drop the rate of fuel tax to help working families? Why is he refusing to drop VAT for pubs and hospitality businesses that are the lifeblood of our communities?  The PMQs Meltdown: Why even the Speaker of the House is losing patience with Starmer's refusal to answer for his own record. The Two-Year Verdict: Two years in, the "blame the Tories" excuse has finally expired. This is now Starmer's Britain—and the wheels are coming off.  Don't just watch—get involved!

Kemi Badenoch criticises the government for failing to publish its plan for defence spending, but Starmer says the Tories hollowed out the budget, and gets told off by the Speaker for failing to answer the question.Hugo unpacks PMQs with Patrick Maguire and the comedian Andrew Maxwell.

Defence dominated a fiery return to PMQs as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch took on Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words, seizing on criticism from former Labour defence secretary and NATO secretary general Lord Robertson over what he calls “complacency” on military spending.Camilla and Jacob-Rees Mogg react to the PM being pressed on defence investment plans as he says his military advisers are wrong to call him complacent, all while the British Army has shrunk to its smallest size in centuries.And an exclusive poll for The Telegraph suggests Labour could lose control of Wales for the first time since devolution, potentially falling to third place behind Plaid Cymru and Reform UK.

Keir Starmer was back at the despatch box after the Easter break facing questions over Lord Robertson's defence review, warning the government's complacency has left the UK in a perilous situation.Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

Post STARMER chaos the UK needs A 'FACTORY RESET! Jon Gaunt LIVE  #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #FactoryReset #UKPolitics #Dover #RussianTankers #StarmerUTurn #ReformUK #BorderControl #TwoTierBritain #PMQs #BrokenBritain  The post-Starmer chaos is here, and the cracks aren't just appearing—the whole system is failing. From the total breakdown of our borders to a two-tier justice system that rewards the lawless, the United Kingdom doesn't just need a "tweak"—it needs a full FACTORY RESET.  Keir Starmer promised "change," but all we've seen is a relentless series of U-turns and blatant lies. How can we trust a leader who changes his "convictions" more often than his suits?  From abandoning his pledges to the "clueless" handling of the economy, the "Starmer Experiment" is a national farce. Join Jon Gaunt LIVE as he breaks down the three pillars of the Great British Reset and takes your questions on the issues the mainstream media refuse to touch.  In today's interactive show: THE DEFENCE DISASTER: Why is Dover being left wide open while we hear reports of Russian tankers lurking in the Channel? Is our national sovereignty being traded for globalist "agreements"? We look at the shocking lack of a credible deterrent.  THE LIES & U-TURNS: We track the "Starmer Shuffle"—from the abandoned green pledges to the "lost phone" excuses. Why is "cluelessness" the defining trait of this administration? THE BORDER RESET: Record numbers, rising costs, and a national betrayal.  Why the "Navy solution" is the only one left on the table. ENDING THE TWO-TIER CHAOS: From the "Wild West" on our high streets to the perceived bias in our courts—how do we restore law, order, and common sense?  ACCOUNTABILITY NOW: How do we create a mechanism to fire a Prime Minister who treats the public with such blatant disregard?  The UK is in chaos. It's time for the Factory Reset. What is your #1 priority for change?

The Speaker is either unable — or unwilling — to intervene, so what should be proper scrutiny turns into a political pantomime. If this is how Starmer is going to behave, then frankly, scrap the whole thing. It becomes an affront to democracy. Head in hands in the chamber, he looked like a man who knows it's over. And then there's the Morgan McSweeney "stolen phone" story — which absolutely reeks of desperation. It's the political equivalent of: "Sorry Sir, the dog ate my homework." And just like his other excuses, the public won't buy it. He looked finished. Completely finished. Maybe he's simply come to the same conclusion as much of the country: he's not up to the job.

STARMER refused to answer questions about Mandelson and the SPEAKER was useless as he let him get away with it. Sack him. Democracy my ARSE!

Angela Rayner has entered the chat. Last night she gave a speech to Labour members which many are reading as the soft launch of her leadership bid. She told the room that Labour needs to be more ‘bold' – echoing Gordon Brown as she called for a more left-wing direction. She took aim specifically at Shabana Mahmood's immigration reforms, describing them as ‘un-British'. Is she staging a coup? And is she the viable leader that Labour can rally around?Also today, we had PMQs with lots more difficult questions on Mandelson and Iran – who came out on top?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

What is Starmer hiding about Mandelson? Jon Gaunt LIVE #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE #KeirStarmer #PeterMandelson #PMQs #KemiBadenoch #JeffreyEpstein #UKPolitics Tonight, we ask the question Keir Starmer would not answer in the House of Commons: what is he hiding about Peter Mandelson? At Prime Minister's Questions today, Kemi Badenoch put a simple, direct question to him again and again. Not once did he give a straight answer. Not once. Instead, we got diversion, dissembling and one of the weakest performances of Starmer's premiership. Clearly, he would not say whether he had spoken to Mandelson and questioned him about his post-conviction contact with paedophile Epstein. Why not? And why is he refusing simply"Instead of answering, he tried to switch the argument on to Conservative comments about Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square — a classic dead cat tactic from a Prime Minister who plainly did not want to address Mandelson, to fess up to it? This was one of Starmer's worst performances at PMQs. His diversions and dissembling did not help him; if anything, they only strengthened the impression that he is hiding something. The Speaker's performance was disgraceful too. He should have insisted that Starmer answer the question, because the British public have every right to know what is going on and why?

PMQs; and the Mandelson files.

It was a bad tempered PMQs today – Kemi Badenoch attacked Starmer over his involvement, or lack thereof with the Iran conflict. And Starmer hit back at Badenoch over her questions. Not the type of unity you'd want to see on the major foreign policy issue of the day. Also today, three more arrests have been made related to Chinese spy allegations. One of them is the partner of a Labour MP Joani Reid, who has said she is 'not part of' her husbands business activities. James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Isabel Hardman.

PMQs today and – as predicted – Keir Starmer came out worst in a pretty unpleasant session. Kemi Badenoch pinned the Prime Minister on the continued Mandelson fallout and now the scandal over Matthew Doyle, the former No. 10 comms chief who – just four weeks after his ennoblement – Labour have already been forced to kick out of their party in the House of Lords, after it emerged he had campaigned for a friend charged with possessing indecent images of children. Once again, one of those mysterious appointments for which the Prime Minister is never responsible came back to haunt him in public – sound familiar?The response from the Prime Minister was to get increasingly shirty, including with Sir Ed Davey, who accused the PM of a ‘catastrophic lack of judgment' in his most punchy PMQs yet.
