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.
Inflation has risen to 3.5%, putting fresh pressure on the Bank of England and on households already feeling the squeeze. But that's not the only storm brewing for the Labour Party. A leaked memo from Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner to Chancellor Rachel Reeves has exposed a growing rift at the top of the Labour Party. In an exclusive report, our political editor Ben Riley-Smith reveals how the two are at odds over tax hikes on savers and investors and what the row means for Labour's economic credibility ahead of the next election.And we speak to Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, about the state of policing and our justice system right now - from Lucy Connolly's prison sentence to Southport victim Leanne Lucas calling for sharp bladed kitchen knives to be banned.

Ola Bossio is an incredibly talented artist who immigrated from Poland in 1999 at just 20 years old. Joining her older sister who had arrived prior to Ola, she immediately immersed herself into English classes and began to work. Originally from north Poland, which borders Russia, she felt moving to the United States would bring more opportunities than under the regime she was living in. Living in a predominantly Polish neighborhood in CT she found community and initial comfort in being able to speak her native language and felt safe and free to express herself more openly. She met and fell in love with an American man and started her beautiful family while slowly dabbling in more painting and creative outlets. She paints landscapes of her favorite places in Poland which brings her peace and serenity. She describes Poland as a grey place because of the climate, but her paintings are full of natural color and celebrate the sky and vast fields of nature. Ola has been in art galleries and shows in Southport and Stamford, CT and was recently picked to show her work at the prestigious New Britain American Art Museum. She is incredibly proud of being picked for this showcase her work. Her life in the U.S. is deeply focused on family and faith and she's abundantly grateful for all she's been able to accomplish.
"Lucy Connolly: Political Prisoner or Racist?" LucyConnolly #PoliticalPrisoner #FreeSpeech #KeirStarmer #SouthportMurders Lucy Connolly lost her appeal today. She's now serving a 31-month sentence for a single offensive tweet—a tweet she deleted just three hours after posting it, during the emotional fallout of the Southport murders. Her defence argued she was traumatised, both by the brutal incident and by the loss of her own child. The controversial tweet allegedly incited anger and contributed to riots near a migrant hotel. With limited legal support, Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty, advised by a duty lawyer to accept a lesser sentence. But was justice really served? Many now claim she was used as a political example—a warning to others. Meanwhile, it's been revealed that Keir Starmer may have withheld information about Axel Rudakubana, the man behind the Southport killings—information that could have helped prevent the riots. In a time when the UK faces a prison overcrowding crisis, and more dangerous offenders are being released early, the case raises serious questions: • Is Lucy Connolly a political prisoner or simply being held accountable? • Is there a two-tier justice system in Britain? • Who should police public speech—the courts, or the police?
On today's #NCFNewspeak we expose Sadiq Khan's outrageous migrant misinformation. He blatantly deceived the public. Also, it's official: Starmer LIED about Southport. Plus, with his new immigration policies, is Starmer now a Far-Right Thug too?

Lucy Connolly vs Huw Edwards: Double Standards? #JusticeForLucy #FreeSpeechUK #TwoTierJustice #UKPolitics #LucyConnolly Is the UK justice system truly blind — or are we witnessing a disturbing double standard? Lucy Connolly was sentenced to 31 months in prison for a controversial social media post following the tragic events in Southport. Meanwhile, high-profile figures like BBC presenter Huw Edwards received suspended sentences for far more serious offenses involving child abuse imagery. This video explores the shocking contrast in sentencing, raising urgent questions about free speech, political persecution, and a two-tier justice system in the UK. Was Lucy Connolly made an example of to silence dissent and suppress unrest following the riots? Are grooming gang members and political elites being treated more leniently by the courts? We also examine the role of Keir Starmer and the controversial case of Axel Rudakubana — could timely information have prevented widespread violence? Why was it withheld? Key topics covered: Political prisoners in the UK? Freedom of speech vs. incitement Double standards in sentencing Media bias and censorship Public trust in the police and courts Justice must be fair, impartial, and accountable. The British public deserves answers.

Southport Atrocity Fallout: Did Silence From Starmer and Police Fuel the Riots? #SouthportRiots #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #PoliceAccountability #FreedomOfSpeech In the aftermath of the Southport atrocity and the violent unrest that followed, a growing number of voices—including legal experts and counter-terrorism advisors—are questioning whether the government's lack of transparency helped ignite the very violence it aimed to prevent. Jon Gaunt examines: • The official report from the Chief Inspector of Constabulary. • Criticism of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's crisis response. • The role of misinformation and the consequences of an information vacuum. • Public perceptions of policing bias—and why they matter. • Allegations of unfair imprisonment and tragic consequences. Jon Gaunt also proposes constructive steps forward, including a review of prosecutions, a public inquiry into the communications failure, and reforms to police disclosure protocols. This is a sensitive and complex topic, handled with care and respect. The goal is not to inflame but to inform—and to ask whether government caution actually made things worse.
Change is a part of life—but in your 40s and beyond, it can feel messier, more emotional, and a lot harder to navigate. In this episode, I'm digging into why change often hits differently in midlife, the feelings it stirs up (spoiler: you're not alone!), and how to move through it with more ease and self-compassion. Whether you're facing shifts in your health, relationships, career, or sense of self, this conversation is here to remind you that it's okay to feel all the things—and that there's real strength on the other side of transition.THE WELL NOURISHED WOMAN COMMUNITY

Has Labour abandoned the white working class under Keir Starmer? KeirStarmer #LabourParty #LucyPowell #GroomingGangs #WorkingClassVoices In this video, Jon Gaunt dives into the growing political backlash facing the Labour Party UK. From the Southport protests to the grooming gangs scandal and the ongoing small boat crisis at Dover, many working-class voters feel ignored and betrayed. Starmer's refusal to launch a full grooming gang inquiry, Lucy Powell's controversial “dog whistle politics” comments, and Labour's stance on illegal immigration are fueling claims of a two-tier justice system in the UK. Meanwhile, Reform UK is gaining momentum, especially among those who believe Labour no longer represents working-class communities. Gaunty asks, Is this the beginning of the end for Labour's traditional base? Has the white working class been left behind for the sake of political optics?

We Don't Need Starmer's Flag Lessons! We Don't Need Starmer's Flag Lessons! #KeirStarmer #SaintGeorgesDay #EnglishFlag #ReformUK #BritishPolitics On Saint George's Day 2025, Keir Starmer stood outside Downing Street with Gary Lineker and other political allies to deliver what he called a patriotic message — but what looked more like a calculated political move. By wrapping himself in the St George's flag, Starmer claimed the Labour Party is the “true patriotic party” of British politics. But this was no celebration of English identity — it was a transparent attempt to hijack English patriotism and fight off the growing threat of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, who are gaining fast in the polls. Starmer says he wants to “take the flag back from extremists” — but who gave it away in the first place? If anyone's been divisive, it's Starmer himself. After the Southport massacre, he smeared all the protestors as “far-right thugs” and withheld details about Axel RudaKubana, the man whose murder triggered national outrage. Even his own counter-terrorism czar admitted this silence helped spark the riots. Let's also not forget the Emily Thornberry flag scandal back in 2014 — where the top Labour MP mocked a home displaying the English flag. She was demoted, but now Starmer has elevated her to the House of Lords. That's Labour's idea of accountability? The flag of Saint George is not a symbol of hate or division — it's a symbol of the English working class, of tradition, and of pride. But in Starmer's politically correct, divided version of England, even the definition of a woman is up for debate. The people of England don't need flag lessons from the Labour Party. We need honesty, unity, and leadership that respects our national values — not more empty gestures.
Even if I was the token black guy in this particular slasher movie situation, I'm not a red herring because I spent last summer in leg braces and crutches... No way I was getting into any trouble like this new group. Especially not any trouble that stirs up a hook wielding fisherman in SouthPort all over again. Enjoy, people.
Lucy Connolly is a 42 year old woman from Northampton who is currently serving a custodial sentence for stirring up racial hatred after she posted on X on the day of the Southport attacks last year, calling for "mass deportations now" and referring to setting fire to asylum hotels. Her case has caused controversy online, with some describing her as a "political prisoner" and claiming that the justice system is treating some people more harshly than others. But to others, Lucy Connolly is being appropriately punished for an incendiary post at a time of high tensions. Are heftier sentences meted out to some people more than others? Are some groups treated differently in the courts because of their ethnicity or political views?

Hundreds of children were caught up in riots with well over 100 arrested and a number charged last summer after the murder of three children in Southport. Since then far right extremism and racism in schools has intensified - an everyday experience in primary and secondary schools, according to the teachers union, the NASUWT. The top priority at their annual conference next week is a motion on behaviour and school safety with the agenda citing problems caused by the Southport riots. Patrick Roach, General Secretary of the NASUWT joins Nuala McGovern.Frances Mayli McCann stars as Daisy Buchanan in a new musical of The Great Gatsby. The show comes to London following a hit run on Broadway. We speak to Frances and the show's writer Kait Kerrigan about placing women at the centre of this classic story, celebrating its centenary year.Julie Bindel's new book, Lesbians: Where are we now? is described as part-memoir, part frontline reportage and part cultural commentary. In it she examines what defines lesbian culture, love, friendship and happiness today and asks why - in her view - lesbians so often seem to face particular hostility? The journalist, feminist campaigner and author is in the Woman's Hour studio.Today marks 11 years since over 270 girls were abducted from their school in the town of Chibok, Nigeria by Boko Haram. The tragedy sparked international outrage - you might remember the campaign hashtag #bringbackourgirls - and today, global leaders and advocates including UN representatives are gathering in London to mark the anniversary with a photo exhibition and panel discussions. We hear from Dr Aisha Muhammed-Oyebode - lawyer and activist from the Murtala Muhammed Foundation.The Herring Girls were the predominantly Scottish, working-class women who laboured in the UK's once thriving fishing industry. An itinerant workforce, they went from port to port, following the fishing fleet and working gruelling hours, gutting and packing fish for export in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Artist and farm labourer Joanne Coates has spent six months researching the life and work of this community on the east coast of Scotland. Using art, photography and performance she wants to reclaim their history and reconnect local people with their Herring Girl heritage.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Axel Rudakubana was convicted of the murders of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance studio in Southport, Wales. He was said to be an introvert with a background in musical theatre. But that's not all...By the time he carried out the brutal murders of three young girls, he was well known to police, anti-extremism authorities including “Prevent” and a number of other public agencies. The government says more than a few opportunities were missed to stop him from turning his dark obsessions into a reality. This is what we know about his journey to becoming a killer - and whether it could have been Prevent-ed.

In this gripping interview, we explore the shocking story of an Ex-Royal Marine jailed for a social media post. This case highlights the UK free speech crackdown and the dangers of social media censorship, as veterans and citizens alike face increasing restrictions on freedom of expression. Following the Southport murders aftermath, authorities took drastic action, leading to a Facebook prosecution that many see as politically motivated. Is this another example of veterans betrayed by the very country they served? We examine the British justice system, the role of the Public Order Act, and whether UK government overreach is silencing dissent. With rising concerns about political persecution, the Free Speech Union has weighed in on the growing number of social media arrests under vague and inconsistent laws. Many critics argue that two-tier policing unfairly targets individuals while ignoring others, raising fresh questions about Labour Party criticism of free speech and government policies. As tensions mount after the UK riots 2024, we discuss how new online speech laws are being used against military veterans and civilians alike. Does this case set a dangerous precedent for veteran rights? And what does it say about the state of democracy in Britain today?

STARMER WELBY PREVENT: TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! In this video, Jon Gaunt delves into the failure of the UK political establishment to protect its citizens and respond effectively to growing public concerns. Gaunty explores the recent comments by Sir Keir Starmer and his delayed recognition of the chaos caused by small boat invasions, which many UK citizens have been outraged about for years. Starmer's new stance raises the question: why do the public seem to understand the urgency before the politicians? Jon Gaunt also examines the failure of former Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, to act swiftly in removing John Smyth, a notorious child abuser, from the church. This highlights a worrying trend of inaction and delayed response among the UK's elite when it comes to protecting the vulnerable. Most shockingly, Jon wants to discuss the revelation that the UK government's anti-terror agency, Prevent, failed multiple times to address the dangerous presence of Axel Rudakubana, who went on to tragically murder three young girls in Southport. The question remains: are the UK political leaders, establishment figures, and security agencies truly committed to safeguarding the public, or are they too slow and ineffective? This video addresses these pressing concerns and questions the priorities of UK leadership in protecting its citizens. Tune in for an insightful look at UK politics, leadership failures, and the consequences of these inactions.

Many critics argue that two-tier policing unfairly targets individuals while ignoring others, raising fresh questions about Labour Party criticism of free speech and government policies. As tensions mount after the UK riots 2024, we discuss how new online speech laws are being used against military veterans and civilians alike. Does this case set a dangerous precedent for veteran rights? And what does it say about the state of democracy in Britain today? Join us as we uncover the truth behind the shocking case of Jamie Michael, the growing impact of social media laws, and what this means for the future of free speech in the UK.

Is violent crime truly out of control in the UK? In this eye-opening video, we dive deep into some of the most horrific crimes that have shocked the nation. From the life sentence of Kyle Clifford, who brutally raped and murdered his ex-girlfriend, her sister, and mother, to the growing gang warfare in UK cities fueled by the ongoing drug trade. We also examine the chilling murders of young girls in Southport by Alex Rudakubana, a brutal reminder of the threat of Islamist extremism. Are UK laws too soft on violent offenders? Should we restore the death penalty to deter criminals? What is the role of the police and parents in protecting the public? In this video, we debate the UK's criminal justice system, the effectiveness of current sentencing, and the broader societal impacts of these heinous acts. Join the discussion on UK politics, violent crime, crime prevention, and free speech. We analyse the controversial topics surrounding crime, punishment, and public safety.

In this explosive video, we dive deep into the shocking question: Why can't we secure the UK from terror attacks? With recent tragedies, including the terrorist murder of MP David Amess, we ask why the government has failed to take adequate action. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has refused to order a public inquiry into the attack—why the silence? What is being hidden? Is there a cover-up surrounding the failures of the anti-terror organization Prevent? We also address the chilling case of Southport mass killer Axel Rudakubana, who was flagged by Prevent but still managed to commit a horrific act of violence. How many more innocent lives must be lost before the government takes real action to protect the public? Are Prevent and the Home Secretary truly fit for purpose when it comes to combating terrorism? With the UK being an island nation, securing our borders should be a top priority. But the question remains: How much more terror do we have to endure? Join the debate on the failures of UK counter-terrorism strategies, border security, and government accountability. Let's discuss if the UK can ever truly be safe from terror, and whether our politicians are doing enough to protect us. Subscribefor more political analysis, breaking news, and free speech debates.
