POPULARITY
Phil Burton-Cartledge returns to PTO to talk about the ongoing crisis of the British Conservative Party and whether there is a way back for the party that has dominated British politics for two centuries. We talked about whether the failings of Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch are particular to her, or merely a reflection of deeper lying structural problems, and we discussed why it is that Nigel Farage's Reform Party has proven more successful in occupying the populist-right space in UK politics.
Joseph Sternberg discusses German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's proposed "autumn of reforms" to revive the stagnant German economy by encouraging private investment, simplifying business processes, and reforming welfare and pension systems. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces severe political issues due to internal Labour Party divisions and voter defections to Nigel Farage's Reform Party. Starmer struggles to persuade voters that his party can address high immigration and culture issues. 1860 BECHTESGADEN

Preview: Keir Starmer faces immense political problems, unable to solve the exodus of Labour voters to Nigel Farage's Reform Party. Voters are frustrated with immigration and Labour's leftward drift on cultural issues, like trans issues. Though Starmer attempts tougher citizenship tests and restrictions, this effort divides the Labour Party. Those voting Reform have lost faith in Labour. 1930 PARLIAMENT KITCHEN

Whether it's the Reform Party weaponising women's safety, Donald Trump diminishing domestic abuse, or worrying stats about girls' safety in schools, you don't have to look far to see that discrimination against women still exists - and is often aided by lazy, misleading, or misinformed reporting. What can we do about this? This week, Media Storm showcases the people and platforms working to end gender-based violence, buy calling out and correcting misogyny in the media. First up: an in-depth interview with Eliza Hatch. She's the founder of Cheer Up Luv, the UK-based platform dedicated to ending gender-based violence, discrimination and bias through education, art and storytelling. Helena and Eliza chat about working in the VAWG sector, bringing men into the conversation, and the crucial point headlines are missing when they talk about young men "falling behind" women in education and academia. And after the break: hear about This Ends Now's new campaign, Take It As Read, which will help us all to challenge misogynistic and victim blaming language around male violence against women and girls. Interested in this topic? Listen to Media Storm's episodes on domestic abuse reporting, rape justice, and why 'violence against women' is a man's problem.

Douglas Murray, Manhattan Institute Fellow and author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to President Trump's speech at the UN, arguing that the United States has become somewhat of a lone voice in condemning Hamas terrorists within the body. Murray weighed in on the UK and France's recognition of Palestine as a state, which he said is a purely domestic political move with no intention of making it a reality. He also reacted to disturbing incidents in the UK, including a Jewish man threatened with arrest simply for his presence at a pro-Palestinian rally, and the arrest of Graham Linehan, which he called an example of the "left-wing enforcement ring." The conversation turned to the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which Murray sees as a revolt of ordinary Brits against the radical Labour Party. Benson and Murray also reflected on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, nearly two weeks after his assassination. Listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

PREVIEW: GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Anatol Lieven discuss the UK political landscape, noting the decline of the Labourand Tory parties. Lieven observes that both established parties are unpopular, losing voters and MPs to more extreme factions. The rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party on the right and Jeremy Corbyn's party on the left signifies a shift, with these parties now seen as more convincing representatives of their respective ideologies. 1828 DOWNING STREET

This week, we unpack rumours for Offshore Europe, discuss Ineos' global outlook, and recount the reform party conference. Joining the discussion is Energy Voice's Ryan Duff, Erikka Askeland and Floyd March. First up, Ryan discusses rumours that TotalEnergies may be looking to sell its UK assets to the newly formed Neo Next. It is no secret that the French supermajor has its gripes with the UK market and the North Sea's latest merger is hungry for expansion. Next, Erikka takes a closer look at Ineos Energy's claim that the UK is “one of the most unstable fiscal regimes in the world”. This came after the firm's chairman Brian Gilvary said that he would be rerouting UK investment to the US following a $3 billion in an American deal. Finally, Floyd was our man on the ground at the Reform Party conference, and he has heard some conspiracy theories. Can electric cars be controlled by the government? Is CO2 really not a pollutant? And can Floyd sleep after hearing Andrea Jenkyns sing? Find out the latest in the final part of this week's show.

Join us as we explore: Why honest disagreement shouldn't mean division The rise of the Reform Party and its challenge to traditional UK politics Nigel Farage's influence and why he's so loved (and hated) Christianity's role in a pluralistic, ideological society Immigration, climate change skepticism, and the complexities of modern governance This is more than politics—it's about how we talk, think, and live together as people of different beliefs.

https://rumble.com/v6056un-ukmfa-disclaimer.htmlDr. Aseem Malhotra, consultant cardiologist, spoke at the Reform Party conference on the topic of "Make Britain Healthy Again." In his presentation he made carefully considered claims regarding COVID-19 vaccines and other medical interventions. The most prominent of these claims was evidence provided by Professor Angus Dalgleish and others that it's "highly likely" the vaccines were a "significant factor" in the cancer diagnoses of members of the royal family.Dr Malhotra also spoke about mRNA vaccines which, in his opinion, have created "biochemical havoc" in the human body, disrupted protein metabolism, and interfered with tumour suppressor genes. He also spoke about the pharmaceutical industry being responsible for "killing millions of people" and that the COVID vaccines had done more harm than good. We at UKMFA accept that these statements have been condemned as "meaningless pseudoscience" and "poisonous lies" by some medical experts, academics, and politicians, who cite a lack of credible evidence. They claim there is an overwhelming body of research showing the vaccines' safety and effectiveness in saving millions of lives.The Reform Party have issued a statement clarifying that Dr Malhotra was a guest speaker and his opinions were not endorsed by the party, but that they believe in free speech.Aseem Malhotra is a British cardiologist, health campaigner, and author, whose COVID-19 vaccine and anti-statin views have been criticised as misinformation by experts. He contends that people should reduce sugar in their diet, adopt a low-carb and high-fat diet, and reduce their use of prescription drugs.UKMFA:CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our new Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

0:30 You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. We start today's episode by breaking down the ACLU's attempt to dismiss its own transgender sports case from the US Supreme Court. Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know RFK Jr. Faces tough questioning on Capitol Hill. Washington, D.C. sues to stop the deployment of the National Guard, despite falling crime rates. The DOJ opens an investigation into fired Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud. 12:30 Ad Break 13:30 President Trump makes controversial moves to restrict gun purchases for individuals struggling with gender dysphoria and severe mental health challenges. We address the irony of the left’s narrative and the data surrounding mental illness, gender dysphoria, and gun ownership. American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to discuss what parents should do when educators cross the line. We ask the American Mamas about the shocking story out of Florida where a teacher called a student a "Nazi-phile" in front of his classmates and tried to give him a certficate for "Most Likely to Become a Dictator" — all because of his conversative values. If you have a question for our American Mamas go to americangroundradio.com/mamas and click the Ask the Mamas button! 23:00 Even CNN’s own data guru admits the Democratic Party may be at its weakest point in modern history, as Republicans surge in voter registration across key battleground states like Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Is the “blue wall” crumbling for good? We Dig Deep into a new American Enterprise Institute study showing the U.S. population could shrink for the first time in history. We explore how immigration enforcement, economics, and cultural narratives about family and children are driving these demographic shifts—and what it means for America’s future. 32:30 Ad Break 33:30 Nigel Farage, a member of parliament in Britain and founder of the Reform Party was asked to Washington to talk about threats against free speech. He testified in Congress earlier this week, and his testimony was a Bright Spot. Farage's warning against cancel culture and controlled speech are no exaggeration. Irish comedian, Graham Linehan was arrested in Britain this week for "hate speech" against the transgender community. 40:30 We finish off with with Vladimir Putin's invitation to Volodymyr Zelenskyy that will make you say, "Whoa!" Will Zelensky accept the invitation to visit Moscow? Then a lighter story: a Long Island man’s class ring, lost in 1969, is miraculously found and returned more than half a century later.

Nigel Farage Has Already Won the Next Election | Reform UK Surging Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast. #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKElection #JonGaunt #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #GeneralElection Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast — Reform UK's surge is shaking Britain's political establishment to its core. At the GB News launch party in Washington, D.C., Farage boasted he will win the next UK General Election and take the keys to No.10.] Fresh from roasting Congress over freedom of speech and speaking with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Farage says Reform UK is the only party offering real answers while Labour and the Tories collapse into chaos. The polls tell the story. Voters have had enough of the old parties — copying Farage's policies hasn't saved them. People want authenticity, not cheap imitations. On illegal migration, migrant hotels, and the growing sense that Starmer backs everyone but the British public, Farage has seized the ground. Add the Angela Rayner tax scandal and her refusal to resign, and it's clear: Britain's political class is finished. Reform UK is rising — and Farage says he's already won. What do you think?

Something is happening in Britain, and it's not going to go down well with the established parties, the media, or the far right Reform Party that the country's elite class are placing their hopes in. There are the seeds of a new left emerging around the Green Party and a new and so far unformed movement 'Your Party' pioneered by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. An independent socialist movement led from outside of the Labour Party (the catch and kill party for British radicalism), is emerging with a significant sector of the public in support.

This week on The Trawl, Marina and Jemma wade through the chaos of anti-immigration protests, Reform Party deportation delusions, and the media's moral gymnastics over Gaza. From Union Jack vandalism to Farage's fantasy pledges, they dissect the spectacle, but it's not all memes and madness - there's a gut-wrenching update from Gaza, where journalists are being killed, aid-workers are being 'double-tapped' live on TV and Israel's and famine rips through the region.

Nigel Farage has outlined plans to detain and deport every single migrant who arrives in the UK on a small boat, including women and children. The plans are dismissed by Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Also: the trial begins of an asylum seeker who's accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Epping. And the Met Office says this summer will "almost certainly" be the UK's warmest on record.
Nick Cohen talks to former Conservative MP and minister Dr Phillip Lee about the Brexit Omertà that is killing the Conservative Party. Dr Lee, now a practising GP, blames the party's spectacular demise partly on its failure to call out Nigel Garage and the Reform Party for the failure of Brexit and the dire consequences. The elephant in the roomPhillip Lee that although few people want to talk about Brexit, they are prepared to talk about the many problems either caused or exacerbated by Brexit. He says, "Look at the boats thing... when we were members of the European Union and Dublin protocols, we could turn these people around to where they'd first entered the European Union. Okay. That was what we were able to do. Now that we're outside the European Union, we can't turn these boats around once they're on the beach."He adds, "Now, how many people in this country actually realise that Brexit has made, dealing with the boats coming across the channel harder? I suspect very, very few people understand that factual point. So why isn't the Labour government saying that? Because they don't want to open up the discussion of. European Union membership being positive."Government by focus group is wrong Phillip Lee asserts that UK political parties mistakenly and all to frequently delegate their political judgment to poorly informed focus groups, saying "we rely upon focus groups from people who are often ill-informed...It is just a fact. They don't understand the complexity of trading in negotiations. They don't understand the complexity of just-in-time manufacturing, they don't understand the challenges of geopolitics or whatever. The reason in great part is not because they can't, it's because they've gotta get the kids to school. They've gotta put food on the table. They've got busy, busy lives. They're being stretched, left, right, and centre to care for elderly and everything else..." He warns, That just takes us down the path, which we are now too far down almost, of having a country that's not fit for purpose and not sustainable, not tenable. In fact, in the medium term, we have to be, we've gotta turn that around. We've gotta start to get to a situation where our democracy people are more informed."Public is being manipulated all over again on Brexit Phillip Lee argues that Nigel Farage counters the obvious failure of Brexit with the absurd claim that it just hadn't been "done right". He adds," Farage is cleverly tapping into the fact that nothing's changed. In fact, everything's got worse. But instead of people concluding it's got worse because of Brexit, he twists it as...t's not the Brexit that people voted for."Well, the Brexit that people voted for was never going to happen again. People were lied to and manipulated, and I think until a political party that's got a chance of forming a government in this country is honest with people about this straightforward, informs them of the reality." Failure to be honest with the public could lead to Reform in power Phillip Lee says failure to treat the public as adults could lead to the disaster of Farage in Number 10, saying "It's just going in the path of Reform, isn't it? ... we're going to have our Trump moment and most of us are gonna have heads in our hands about it."Read all about it!Nick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

Ralph and the crew spend the whole hour with Omer Bartov, professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, who grew up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of his life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and is the author a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” Plus, Ralph pays tribute to legendary Washington Post reporter, Morton Mintz.Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He has written widely on modern Germany, France, the Holocaust, and representations of war and genocide. He is the author of the Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide, and Modern Identity, and the forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and he's penned a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”I published an op-ed in November 2023, and I said there were war crimes, clearly, crimes against humanity, and this will become genocide if it's not stopped. And the Biden administration at the time did nothing. President Biden could have stopped that within two weeks. The Israeli military machine cannot function for more than two or three weeks without constant supply of munitions, without constant supply of financial help, and most importantly, without a diplomatic Iron Dome, especially in the Security Council.Professor Omer BartovIf you say that you are shutting down speech because of anti-Semitism, who are the people who are pushing that? It must be all kinds of Jewish interests that are pushing that. And in that sense, this false campaign against anti-Semitism – some of whose leaders are people with pretty good anti-Semitic credentials themselves – is the best way to raise, to promote and incite anti-Semitism.Professor Omer BartovThere's no moral responsibility, there's no empathy being shown, and much of the population shares that view. To me, as someone who was raised in Israel, spent half of my life there, served four years in the army, to see my own society (including some of my friends) show this kind of moral callousness is frankly quite heartbreaking. And I have to say, it's the result of a long process. It's not only a response to October 7th, it's the result of six decades of occupation, of thinking of Palestinians as not really people who have any right to have rights or any right to health, to security. And in that sense, that long-term occupation has corrupted much of Israeli society. And maybe the most surprising thing is that there's still extraordinary people there who are fighting against that, but their numbers are diminishing, not growing.Professor Omer BartovMorton Mintz was hands-down the greatest consumer reporter of his generation. He opened up one field after another because he had a special sense of newsworthiness that other reporters and editors didn't have. He opened up the coverage of the pharmaceutical industry. He opened up the coverage of the auto industry. And he did so with such formidable documentation and research that other reporters started following the same subject area. So he was a pioneer.Ralph NaderNews 8/1/25* Crusading environmental lawyer Steven Donziger has published a new report in the left-wing outlet Orinoco Tribune on the undercount of the dead in Gaza. In this piece, Donziger uses the statistical model laid out by the prestigious medical journal The Lancet in their 2024 study on the Israeli military campaign, which found the direct and indirect death toll could be as high as 186,000. The Lancet study found that as many as 732 Gazans died every day from these direct and indirect causes. Multiplied by the 594 days the conflict has dragged on, this would equate to a death toll of 434,800, or 20.7% of the enclave's population. As Donziger notes, “If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza…happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.”* In more Gaza news, the Guardian reports that, “On Saturday night, the…IDF…intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition…According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked…labor activist Chris Smalls.” The severity of the attack on Christian Smalls – founder of the independent Amazon Labor Union (ALU) – caused international outcry. From the Guardian report, “Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.” The incident also drew criticism for another reason: Smalls was the only Black person on board the Handala. While 21 members of the Flotilla group were detained, in their words ”abducted,” “This level of force was not used.” It is unclear why this level of force was used against Smalls and Smalls alone, other than the color of his skin.* Yet more tragic news from Gaza concerns the death of Odeh Hadalin, the 31-year-old Palestinian activist and English teacher featured in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land. Al Jazeera reports that footage taken by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem “appears to show [Israeli settler Yinon] Levi opening fire on Hadalin during a confrontation in the village [of Umm al-Kheir, south of Hebron].” Levi, already sanctioned by the European Union and the United States over past attacks on Palestinians, reportedly told witnesses he was “glad about it.” Despite all of this, an Israeli court has released Levi on house arrest. Basel Adra, who co-directed No Other Land with Yuval Abraham, wrote “This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time.”* One positive development is in progress however. According to the Embassy of France in the United States, "France is prepared to fully recognize the State of Palestine, and will do so in September." French recognition of the Palestinian state, will If it ultimately comes to pass, have major ramifications on the world stage. While 147 member states of the United Nations have recognized Palestine, only 10 out of 27 EU countries have done so, mostly former Eastern Bloc states like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, along with the former country of Czechoslovakia. The modern country of Slovakia has reaffirmed their recognition; Czechia has not. In 2024, several more European nations extended recognition, including Norway, Slovenia, Ireland and Spain. France however would tip the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to a 3-2 majority in recognition of Palestine, along with Russia and China. Moreover, AP reports the United Kingdom is now saying they will “recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza,” among other conditions. If this happens, The permanent members of the Security Council would be split 4-1, with the United States as the lone holdout. This would be nothing short of an international relations sea change on the question of Palestine.* In some more positive foreign policy news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the U.K. is getting started with a bang. According to the man himself, over 600,000 people have signed up to register with the new party, which describes itself as “a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.” Polls show this new party in the lead among Britons aged 18-24 and Corbyn leading Labour Party leader Keir Starmer by “Almost Every Metric,” among members of the rightwing populist Reform Party. That said, the Reform Party is still projected to win an overwhelming victory compared to all other parties in the next elections, though those are not expected to be held until 2029.* In Congress, Bernie Sanders forced a vote Wednesday on two new Senate resolutions to block arms transfers to Israel. Resolution 34 would “prohibit the U.S.-taxpayer financed $675.7 million sale of 201 MK 83 1,000-pound bombs; 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bombs; 1,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; 3,500 JDAM guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; and related logistics and technical support services,” while Resolution 41 would “prohibit the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles.” These resolutions got the support of 27 Senators, a new record and a majority of the Democratic Senate Caucus, but still far, far short of even a simple Senate majority. Perhaps a more portentous development is that Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene this week became the first Republican in Congress to call the crisis in Gaza a “genocide,” according to the Hill. It remains to be seen whether this will help break the dam on that side of the aisle.* In New York City, new polling shows stunning results for Zohran Mamdani. The new poll conducted by Zenith Research and Public Progress Solutions shows Zohran dominating the 5-way race, earning 50% and beating out the other four candidates combined. Mamdani does even better in head-to-head matches against disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and corruption-dogged incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. The crosstabs are even more astonishing. Despite the breathless and baseless accusations of antisemitism, Zohran is winning 67% of Jews under age 45 and a whopping 85% of men ages 18-34. This second number is key as Democrats struggle to attract young men. One warning sign: a recent Pew poll shows Republicans with an 18-point lead among men in the Gen Z cohort.* In an ominous challenge to the separation of church and state, the Hill reports President Donald Trump released a memo Monday allowing federal employees to “attempt to persuade co-workers about why their religious beliefs are ‘correct.'” This memo cites “crosses, crucifixes and mezuzah,” as displays of religious indicia that should not result in disciplinary action. This bizarre and constitutionally dubious policy seems likely to lead to workplace discord.* In more Trump news, CBS reports Trump has ousted “Two top Justice Department antitrust officials.” According to sources, two deputies to Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater, who leads DOJ antitrust efforts, were “placed on administrative leave last week and fired on Monday for insubordination.” These two figures are Roger Alford, principal deputy assistant attorney general, and Bill Rinner, deputy assistant attorney general and head of merger enforcement. It is not clear why exactly Alford and Rinner were pushed out, but there has apparently been substantial strife within the administration over the antitrust cases against T-Mobile and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. AAG Slater is also overseeing antitrust lawsuits against Capital One, Apple, Google, and other major companies.* Finally, Wired reports the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is planning the first migration of an entire country. Tuvalu, which could be completely submerged by rising sea levels within the next 25 years, is seeking to resettle 280 Tuvaluans in Australia each year. This climate-driven mass migration is a stark sign of things to come if the international community continues to dither or deny the reality of the oncoming climate catastrophe.

Trump really is the master of the art of the deal. In fact, the man just executed what is being called one of the greatest deals ever made. Who is it with? Well, none other than the European Union, which has taken advantage of the United States for decades. That ends now! Next, on Saturday, following a jazz festival, Cincinnati exploded in violent brawls, leading to multiple people sustaining injuries and several hospitalizations. When will Democrats see that their leniency on crime is destroying their cities, or do they even care? Later, we hit on the tyrannical bill that just passed in the UK and how the Reform Party is working tirelessly to repeal it. Finally, we hit on the latest news—like Ghislaine Maxwell testifying to Congress, a church in Jerusalem condemning Israel, and more. All this and more on Today's Untamed!

Winner of the week has got to be NZ First. In the latest Taxpayer's Union Curia poll, they are the third biggest party now, overtaking Act and the Greens. If you've been watching the polls lately that's not a surprise. This has been coming for a while. National has been up and down, Act has been pretty flat, but NZ First has just been heading up most of the year. There are a bunch of reasons for this. Winston is very statesman-like. He manages to disagree with his coalition partners without being quite as bratty as David Seymour can sometimes be. NZ First are choosing their battles. They stayed out of the pay equity kerfuffle, so they didn't cop the blowback. But mainly, it's because they're being refreshingly blunt. Shane Jones doesn't care if the lizard-lovers get upset that he wants to dig a mine where the lizards are. He just says it. Winston doesn't care if Grey Lynn and Aro Valley are offended that he wants transwomen kept out of women's sport. He just says it. He doesn't care if wool carpets into state houses is likely a bad financial decision. He got it done. This party is unashamedly appealing to a group of voters no one else really is, which is working class New Zealanders – people who see things simply and often more correctly than elites would care to imagine. It's the same thing playing out in the UK with the rise of the Reform Party. It's the same reason Trump is back in the White House. Of the three coalition parties NZ First is the only one hitting the same vein of voters. Now, we're still only talking about 10% and 10% doesn't a major party make. But it's only been headed in one direction lately, and that tells you something. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Jagow is joined by John Hancock and Michael Kelley to unpack Elon Musk's announcement of his new political movement, the America Party. Hancock is skeptical, comparing it to past third party efforts like Ross Perot's Reform Party. Kelley says Musk's money gives him a real platform but warns it could split the Republican vote. They also discuss a narrowly passed bill in Congress and what it could mean for the economy, including potential impacts from new tariffs and tax policy changes.
New data shows Nigel Farage and the Reform Party would win more seats than Labour and the Conservatives in the next general election. Political analysts have revealed that Farage and Reform would win 278 seats if a general election were to take place tomorrow - the most of any party. UK correspondent Enda Brady says the next election is four years away - but Prime Minister Starmer's team should be taking this data into account going forward.

Farage discusses his work with Reform UK party chairman Zia Yusuf, building structure and organisation for the years ahead. He warns that indebtedness is at an all time high and predicts continued economic decline under current leadership. From the entrepreneur exodus and benefit reforms to his three near-death experiences and views on political realignment, Farage shares his views as one of the UK’s most outspoken and controversial political figures. Nigel Farage REVEALS: Why the UK is heading for another financial crash That a dramatic political realignment is happening The ways the Reform Party would help fix the UK The mass millionaire exodus Why the current system for the self employed doesn’t work Why the tax system is over complicated and needs reform The ways he would reform the UK benefits system BEST MOMENTS "Well, indebtedness now is way bigger than it was in 2008 and I do think at some point in time there comes a bit of a reckoning for Western economies." "Musk comes into Twitter, sacks 80% of the staff, and it makes no difference. So the idea is that Musk comes in and starts cutting up the deep state. That's gonna be the template for what we need."

In this punchy and provocative episode of Mark and Pete, we dive headfirst into the swirling chaos of British politics, public utilities, and corporate excess. First up: Attorney General Richard Hermer finds himself in hot water after comparing the Reform Party and Tory ECHR policies to Nazi ideology. Was it a bold moral stand—or a clumsy rhetorical nosedive? Next, we wade through the murky waters of Thames Water's £122.7 million fine, the biggest in UK history, as they continue to leak both sewage and credibility while drowning in £20 billion of debt. Is failure now the British benchmark for business? Finally, we take off (in budget class) to dissect Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary's eye-watering €100 million bonus. In a time of rising fares and falling trust, should we celebrate his capitalist cunning or question the altitude of his ethics? With satire, insight, and listener interaction, this episode invites you to write in: What reality show would you create featuring these headline-makers?

Jon Gaunt LIVE: Can Starmer survive? Lies, Scandals & Meltdown. KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #JonGauntLive #LabourParty #NigelFarage Keir Starmer swept to power in a landslide — but now he's one of the most unpopular PMs in history. What went wrong? Jon Gaunt breaks down the scandals, broken promises, and political chaos surrounding one of the most controversial Prime Ministers in modern UK history.
Britain's Conservative Party is one of the oldest and most successful political parties in history. Local elections in the UK have signalled that they are facing the prospect of being wiped out, imperilled by the rise of the right-wing Reform Party, headed by one of the most pervasive and divisive figures in British politics: Nigel Farage. Reform's success is also coming at the expense of Labour, whose voters are underwhelmed and unconvinced by the performance so far of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government. Hosts Nina Dos Santos and Owen Bennett Jones explore what makes Reform such a potent political threat that they could upend 100 years of Labour and Conservative rule, charting the party's rise from UKIP to Brexit to now. They speak to Gawain Towler, former Reform spokesperson and close political confidant of Nigel Farage, and Ben Habib, formerly deputy leader of Reform two men who understand the soul of the movement and the man who leads and embodies the party: Nigel Farage.

Matt Goodwin joins John to unpack the UK's economic, cultural, and political turmoil. Matt describes a Britain grappling with stagnant growth, a severe cost-of-living crisis, and the fallout of mass immigration, including the grooming gang scandal that has shaken public trust. He highlights the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which is surging in polls by addressing voter frustrations over broken borders, and elite disconnect, signalling a potential reshaping of the two-party system.Matt also explores the erosion of trust in legacy institutions, fueled by perceived authoritarianism from the Labour government, such as restrictions on free speech and denialism about immigration's impacts. With optimism rooted in the British people's resilience, exemplified by Brexit, this episode delves into the cultural pushback against progressive excesses and the urgent need for policies to restore national cohesion and sovereignty.Matt Goodwin is an academic, bestseller writer and speaker known for his work on political volatility, risk, populism, British politics, Europe, elections and Brexit. He is Professor of Politics at Rutherford College, University of Kent and has previously served as Senior Visiting Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House and Senior Fellow with the UK In a Changing Europe.
