The weekend saw the US launch airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, with Tehran warning of ‘everlasting consequences'. Despite an emergency Cobra meeting and Luke Pollard's morning media round, we are still waiting for an answer on whether the government supports Trump's action. Keir Starmer's assured and confident position on the world stage now looks to be in peril, as he is pulled between Trump, his attorney general and the court of public opinion. Can he de-escalate?Also on the podcast, Nigel Farage delivered a speech this morning in which he announced changes to non-doms and unveiled a new ‘Britannia card' – although most of the questions afterwards centred on the situation in the Middle East. This comes after Ipsos polling gave Reform UK a record nine-point lead over the Labour party. How has Reform managed to cultivate this new coalition?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
For the weekend edition, we share tips for surviving or avoiding SW1's summer party circuit. Then soberly turn to whether Reform's rise might help the SNP hang on to power in Scotland for even longer. And if Labour ever could be vulnerable in Wales, might new changes to voting next year deliver an upheaval? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Trump came down that golden escalator ten years ago this week, and thus began America's descent to the depths of madness. The gang looks back on his political journey, from launching into the GOP race from Trump Tower to whatever you'd describe where we are now. Plus, Reform UK won loads of council seats – and now it actually has to take charge of things. So, how's that going? (We promise we say more than just bad.) Then in the Extra Bit for supporters – can we ever be as happy as Finland? And what does that even mean? • Listen to The Bunker including Andrew's interview with Peter Ricketts.

This week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker takes a pint-fueled tour through some of Westminster's best-known watering holes in his bid to find out what makes the best political boozer. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage explains why the Westminster Arms is his favorite pub and why his longtime friend, Gerry Dolan, its former landlord, is behind the pub's popularity. Dolan himself recounts how lager-loving politicians would race over the road to vote at the sound of the division bell, before haring back to finish their drinks, and remembers how each of the different parties under his roof would occupy various corners of his pub like tribes. Celia McSwaine, a former special adviser to ex-Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, illuminates the role of the Two Chairmen as the Treasury's designated post-Budget pub and recounts how the drinks were flowing in the immediate hours after the fateful mini-budget, before any economic meltdown had struck. Pub enthusiast James Potts, a Labour councillor in Islington and author of "What's in a London pub name?" regales Patrick with the exotic history of the Two Chairmen from the secrecy of its top room, the site of much political plotting over the years. Andy McSmith, former Chief Political Correspondent at The Observer, joins Patrick at the Red Lion in the heart of Westminster, recounting his pivotal role in breaking the infamous story that Gordon Brown's former spin doctor Charlie Whelan had told Tony Blair that the U.K. would not be joining the Euro, from just outside the pub. Former Education and Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan returns to The Blue Boar, a discreet pub she says she hasn't been back inside since she found out there that the UK was to leave the European Union. Labour insider Sienna Rodgers, Deputy Editor of parliamentary magazine The House, meets Patrick in The Clarence, and offers her top tips on where to find Labour MPs and special advisers nowadays. And finally Patrick visits the famous Marquis of Granby pub, where journalist and Reform supporter Tim Montgomerie and Nigel Farage's former press secretary Gawain Towler describe how the 'MOG', as it's known, is Westminster's consummate rebel pub, ideal for plotting a political insurgency during the long days of opposition.

Rape Gangs, HS2, Dover Crisis: The Political Class Is DESTROYING Britain! #UKPolitics #ReformUK #ImmigrationCrisis #RapeGangs I'm Jon Gaunt and I've had ENOUGH of this circus! Today's Prime Minister's Questions was an absolute joke — screaming, shouting, blaming — while Britain BURNS. Illegal immigration is out of control. Grooming gangs are STILL ruining lives. HS2 is a multi-billion pound disaster. And what do Labour and the Tories do? Throw mud at each other like children. They've BOTH failed us. THEY opened the borders. THEY let the rape gangs go unpunished for years. THEY wasted our money on HS2. And now they have the nerve to sit in Parliament pretending to care. The truth? They're only interested in power, not the people they're supposed to serve. While they hold emergency COBRA meetings about Israel and Iran, OUR country is falling to pieces. This is BROKEN BRITAIN. And it's about time the British people said ENOUGH. We need leaders who actually care about fixing this country — not these career politicians clinging to power. The polls don't lie. The people are done with this lot. Reform is coming.

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob talks to Zia Yusuf, chairman of Reform UK and successful tech entrepreneur who sold his company for £230 million. Yusuf talks about his experiences in business and politics and outlines Reform UK's mission to fundamentally change Britain's direction. Yusuf's shares his vision for fixing broken Britain, from stopping illegal migration to rebuilding the NHS and fostering a pro-success culture. With Reform now polling at 26-27%, Yusuf reveals his optimism for making Nigel Farage the next Prime Minister and transforming the UK into a country that rewards entrepreneurship, innovation, and hard work. Zia Yusuf REVEALS: Why Reform UK's have risen in popularity, growing from 14% to 27% in polls in just 8 months. That Reform UK are close to becoming the largest party in the UK by membership. Why he believes the UK's immigration policy has become unsustainable. That Reform UK is built on a grassroots funding model, with over 90% of costs covered by membership fees and small donations, deliberately avoiding dependence on large donors to maintain independence. The party plans to eliminate income tax on earnings below £20,000, reduce corporation tax thresholds and cut regulations to boost entrepreneurship. Why he chose politics over starting another business. Why Reform UK are like a startup, disrupting established parties. BEST MOMENTS "Anyone who has been brought up in the system, Tory, Labour, that whole westminster ecosystem, will be unable to fundamentally change how the system works and that is what we have to do." "I love this country, it's given me so much opportunity. I'm going to stay and fight and I still think we can turn this around." "We've got to change the culture in this country, return our culture to one where success is viewed as a good thing. Stop hating landlords, stop hating business owners, stop hating millionaires." "We need to be clear that if you come here illegally, you will never get the right to remain under any circumstances and you will be deported to the country from which you came." "When I first came into politics... I said this is still a country where people literally risk their lives to come to, even from France. If we're not careful, we will no longer have a country that people fall over themselves wanting to come to."

Rachel Reeves has delivered her very first spending review, promising to ‘renew Britain' with big cash boosts for the NHS, housing and defence. It's a marked change of tone but the Tories are calling her approach “spend now, tax later”. Nish and Coco dig into the details and are left with some questions. Are tax rises in the Autumn inevitable? Are high-stakes promises, like vowing to end spending on controversial asylum hotels, ill-thought-out? Will all this be enough to change the public mood? And as we've seen across the pond in LA this week, face masks have been critical to protect the identity of protestors demonstrating against immigration raids and deportations. But the UK government plans to ban them. Nish and Coco speak to Akiko Hart, director of human rights organisation, Liberty, about how we can uphold the right to protest and the latest on challenging the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. And finally - it gives us great joy to announce - Reform UK is in meltdown with (now former) party chairman Zia Yusuf performing the political equivalent of the hokey-cokey… is he in or out?

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." "I've nearly died three times. I've had three very serious brushes with that. So when you've had all these brushes, I just think some mornings you are so blooming lucky." "The UK tax code is now 21,000 pages long. The most complex tax system in the world."

Starmer cancelled Rwanda deportation deal- now illegal crossings are skyrocketing. Over 15,000 already this year, £4 million a day on hotels, and a border crisis spiralling out of control. The UK can't afford this. UKImmigration #RwandaPlan #KeirStarmer #MigrationCrisis #LabourPolicy A YouGov poll shows immigration is the worst-handled issue under Labour, with 74% of Brits saying the government is failing. So far in 2025, 15,000 illegal Channel crossings have been recorded — and we're on track for 50,000 by the end of the year. Britain has spent nearly £1 billion paying France to stop the boats, but the crisis is only getting worse. Meanwhile, the UK is burning through £4 million a day housing asylum seekers in hotels. Enough is enough. It's time to say NON to French blackmail and crack down on the black market jobs that draw people here in the first place — especially bike delivery work with no checks. The UK is skint, and voters know it. Unless Labour ends the incentives — from free housing to illegal work — the boats will keep coming. #ImmigrationCrisis #RwandaPlan #UKPolitics #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #IllegalImmigration #ChannelCrossings #AsylumHotels #BorderControl #StopTheBoats Immigration UK, Rwanda policy, Keir Starmer immigration, Labour Rwanda mistake, YouGov immigration poll, UK asylum hotels, illegal Channel crossings, stop the boats, UK border crisis, Labour immigration failure, UK migrant crisis 2025, Chris Philp Sun interview, France migrant deal, UK France border, asylum seekers UK

Stepping outside my usual perspective, I dive into the political arena to examine Reform UK's campaign against net zero, electrification, and clean energy. Joined by clean tech expert Quentin Wilson and Dan Caesar from EV UK and Everything Electric, we dissect Reform's stance.We explore Reform's economic skepticism and their leanings toward fossil fuels. Quentin challenges the “net zero” framing, while Dan counters with evidence of a surge in green jobs. As Reform gains traction in local elections, I reflect on the anger fueling their populist rhetoric and why their Brexit-style playbook may stumble. We unpack their contradictory vision of “independence” and reaffirm our belief in renewables. Dan envisions a coalition fightback by 2028, and we agree: facts can defeat fear.

UK chancellor Rachel Reeves has had an action-packed week. She made a U-turn on winter fuel payments, announced plans to spend billions of pounds on new transport schemes and, following the prime minister's latest announcement, she now has to find yet more money to fund a rise in defence spending.

Broken Britain: 80-Year-Old Bhim Kohl Murdered by Kids, and No Real Justice #BrokenBritain #JusticeForBhim #UKCrime #YouthViolence An 80-year-old man, Bhim Kohl, was brutally murdered in a park by two children — a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. They filmed the attack on their phones. The girl will not face prison. The boy got just 7 years! This isn't just a crime — it's a symbol of what Britain has become: a nation without respect, discipline, or justice. Jon Gaunt dives deep into the horrifying details of Bhim Kohl's murder, the justice system's shocking response, and what this says about the state of our country. #BrokenBritain #JusticeForBhim #UKCrime #YouthViolence Tags: Bhim Kohl, UK murder, teen violence UK, youth crime, Broken Britain, elderly attacked UK, Jon Gaunt, UK social collapse, justice for Bhim, parenting crisis UK, discipline breakdown, British society decline, phone filmed attack UK #BhimKohl #BrokenBritain #UKCrime #YouthViolence #JusticeForBhim #BritishSociety #UKTeens #SocialBreakdown #RespectOurElders #elderlysafety This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt
It's Farage's big test in Scotland. For years it was a political dead-end for Reform party leader - heckled in Edinburgh, chased from restaurants in Aberdeen, and repeatedly rejected at the ballot box.But in today's Holyrood by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, Reform UK is mounting a serious challenge. With Farage back in charge and his candidate Ross Lambie gaining ground in an SNP stronghold, could this be the moment his party makes a breakthrough north of the border?And while the Tories remain locked in internal warfare, we speak to Reform's most senior council leader, Linden Kemkaran, on how the party plans to cut spending with their own version of Elon Musk's DOGE and why she wants to end taxpayer-funded English lessons for migrants.Producer: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleWith assistance from Andy Mackenzie and Ryan Gudge Hosted on Acast.

Starmer vs Russia: No War in Our Name! You're No Churchill or Thatcher! RESIGN! Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin Is Keir Starmer pushing Britain closer to war with Russia? Jon Gaunt exposes how the Labour leader is talking tough on Putin while failing at home – from Dover's migrant crisis to surrendering British territories like the Chagos Islands. Starmer backs Ukraine drone strikes, increases defence spending promises with no dates, and now entertains conscription talk — echoing Tony Blair's Iraq war mistakes. But the British people don't want another war. They want secure borders, accountability, and real leadership — not Churchill cosplay. Jon Gaunt breaks down: • Starmer's reckless war rhetoric • The truth behind UK-US support for Ukraine's drone attacks • Why Starmer's comparisons to Churchill or Thatcher fall flat • Border failures and migrant chaos • Conscription fears and the lack of public support Subscribe, share, and comment your thoughts on whether Starmer should resign before dragging the UK further into global conflict. #Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin #NoWarInOurName #UKPolitics #Conscription #BorderCrisis #Thatcher #Churchill #Zelensky #MigrantCrisis #KeirStarmer With Hashtags #KeirStarmer, #NoWar, #RussiaUK, #StarmerVsPutin, #JonGaunt, #Churchill, #Thatcher, #UKPolitics, #UkraineWar, #Zelensky, #StopTheWar, #BritishBorders, #IllegalMigrants, #DroneStrike, #ConscriptionUK, #Putin, #StarmerResign, #LabourParty, #GlobalConflict, #Falklands Keir Starmer, No War, Russia UK, Starmer Vs Putin, Jon Gaunt, Churchill, Thatcher, UK Politics, Ukraine War, Zelensky, Stop The War, British Borders, Illegal Migrants, Drone Strike, Conscription UK, Putin, Starmer Resign, Labour Party, Global Conflict, Falklands

Stay out of wombs Nigel! Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wants us to have more babies - which for new mum Coco feels like being bamboozled into being rightwing. Not only this, Farage is even coming for abortion - saying it's “utterly ludicrous” to allow abortion up to 24-weeks. Keep your wits about you! From leaked memos and inner-circle beef to U-turns and rumoured U-turns - Keir Starmer is feeling the pressure. Nish and Coco dive into the Westminster bubble to find out why the Government has become a leaky ship with Politico reporter Bethany Dawson. Half a decade on from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world, only one third of the recommendations of major reports to tackle endemic racism in the UK has actually been implemented and equality initiatives are facing a rightwing backlash on both sides of the Atlantic. So, is the UK backsliding on racial justice? Guardian community affairs correspondent and author Aamna Mohdin reflects on the personal and political legacy of the largest anti-racism rallies in the UK since the abolition of slavery.

Dissatisfaction with the established political parties is driving a ‘tartan bounce' in Scotland for Nigel Farage's Reform UK. Far from being an English phenomenon, Reform is polling favourably with Scottish voters. There will be a by-election next week for the Scottish Parliament seat of Hamilton, in what will be Reform's first big test inside the politics of devolved government.For councillor Thomas Kerr, who defected from the Scottish Conservatives to Reform earlier this year, Reform's appeal in Scotland is no surprise. He joins Lucy Dunn to explain why he thinks the ‘sky is the limit' for Reform, why Farage is an asset to the party in Scotland and to explain Reform's current views around devolution powers.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Western elites have run into a recurring predicament over the past decade: In a democracy, you can't abolish the voters. Populist coalitions are on the march in Europe, and while they've yet to take over their respective governments like their American counterparts, they aren't going away. So Henry Olsen returns to the podcast to give us the scoop on everybody from the Romanians, who just had their delayed election, to the Poles and Hungarians who have some coming up, along with Reform UK and AfD. We also dig into Trump's so-far successful 'Dirty Harry' theory of justice and the limitations any politician's gotta know — including the transformational ones. Plus, Lileks and Hayward yap about the latest with Harvard, the "stochastic terrorism" that killed two young Jews in DC, and Original Sin...- Soundbite from this week's open: UK PM Kier Starmer pivots on immigration
