The UK government published an elections policy paper in the summer, including proposals for votes at 16, automated electoral registration, and strengthened political finance rules. With an Elections Bill expected in November, this panel will assess the government's proposals and consider whether they will be sufficient to ensure electoral integrity. For example, are tighter rules needed on political donations? Should more be done to protect the independence of the Electoral Commission? Should requirements for truthfulness in political speech be strengthened?Speakers:Cat Smith MP – Labour MP for Lancaster and WyreRose Whiffen – Senior Research Officer, Transparency International UKTom Hawthorn – Head of Policy, Electoral CommissionProfessor David Howarth – Professor of Law and Public Policy, University of Cambridge, former UK Electoral Commissioner (2010–18), and former Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge (2005–10)Chair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit Links:Website: www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unitMailing list: www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/get-involved/mailing-listBlog: constitution-unit.com

Is populism saving the UK — or destroying it from within? Across Britain, a new wave of populism is rewriting politics. But the question remains: is this the cure for the chaos, or just another symptom of it? Today's episode dives deep into that question — connecting the dots between the UK's rise of Reform UK and the populist movements shaking the U.S. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS From Nigel Farage to Andy Burnham, the battle lines are clear — populism is no longer a fringe idea. It's mainstream, reshaping everything from immigration to the economy. But while Britain experiments with four competing political tribes, Americans are left wondering if a fractured system might actually be worse than our own two-party gridlock. Ted Newson joins Brian to unpack how populism — once the voice of the working class — has evolved into something more volatile. Together, they examine how leaders like Trump, Corbyn, and Farage harness emotion over principle, and what that means for liberty, democracy, and the everyday person just trying to make sense of it all. They also compare the U.S. and U.K. political structures head-to-head — from the way populist movements rise, to why America's “podcast revolution” became the biggest political shift since cable news. And yes, Brian brings the heat: challenging whether populism built on vibes instead of values can ever truly last. If you care about the direction of the West, this is a must-watch. It's not just about Britain's elections — it's about whether any democracy can survive when everyone's chasing popularity instead of principles. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

There's a bit of Welsh theme in the podcast this week. Lesley, having just come back from speaking at an all-under-one-banner Cymru rally in Rhyl gives us the low down on all things Welsh, the Welsh indepdendence movement and the revival of the Welsh language.  We talk about up coming changes to the Welsh voting system, scrapping what we've got for the Scottish elections which still has the first-past-the-post and the move to a completely proportional system. Why aren't we talking about that here in Scotland? We also discuss the separate Yes movement, Yes Cymru, which was set up in 2014 and is separate to the Welsh indpendence supporting parties.We also look at more authoritarian moves by UK Labour and breifly discuss the fall out over the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans traveling to the watch a game against Aston Villa.

#Multiculturalism #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #MuslimCommunity #Islamophobia #Antisemitism #ParallelLives #GroomingGangs Multiculturalism was supposed to bring us together — but rising antisemitism, ongoing grooming gang scandals, and political timidity over Islamophobia suggest the opposite. Are we now living parallel lives, as Robert Jenrick says? And if so, is it time to admit that multiculturalism has failed — or can we still make it work? I'm Jon Gaunt, and tonight we're tackling the most explosive question in British public life: why are parts of the Muslim community still struggling to integrate — and what does that mean for the future of multicultural Britain? The stakes couldn't be higher. A Jewish man has been murdered in Manchester, Jewish football fans are being told to stay away from matches for their safety, and pro-Palestine marches are raising serious concerns about rising antisemitism. Meanwhile, the government has backed down on defining Islamophobia and continues to delay a full inquiry into Muslim grooming gangs. Are we now living “parallel lives,” as Robert Jenrick warned? Has multiculturalism failed — and if so, why? Is it political cowardice, failed policies, or deeper cultural divisions? And how do we fix it before Britain's social fabric is torn apart? Join me for a fearless, honest, and uncensored debate that the mainstream media won't touch. No spin. No censorship.

#JonGaunt #PrinceWilliam #KeirStarmer #AyoubKhan #FanBan #FootballJustice #FreeTheFans #AstonVilla #MaccabiTelAviv  Enough is enough. British football is at a crossroads — and this disgraceful decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending the Europa League clash at Villa Park is a line that should never have been crossed.  The Prime Minister himself says it's “the wrong decision,” yet the authorities plough on, silencing supporters and staining the reputation of our national game.  In this show, we're calling this out for what it is: a cowardly, discriminatory move dressed up as “public safety.” West Midlands Police and the local Safety Advisory Group must answer for their actions — and if they can't justify this outrageous ban, then heads should roll. This is Britain: we do not exclude fans because of who they are or where they come from.  It's time for real leadership. Prince William — as Aston Villa's most famous fan and a future king — must speak up and help overturn this injustice. And if the police leadership cannot defend the indefensible, they should step aside. Join Jon Gaunt live as he demands accountability, exposes the failures behind this scandal, and fight for the principle that football belongs to everyone.  #JonGaunt #PrinceWilliam #KeirStarmer #AyoubKhan #FanBan #FootballJustice #FreeTheFans #AstonVilla #MaccabiTelAviv #EuropaLeague  Jon Gaunt, Prince William, Ayoub Khan, Aston Villa, fan ban, Maccabi Tel Aviv, football justice, UK politics, free the fans, Villa Park, Europa League, football rights This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

In this week's episode we discuss the SNP conference which has been something of a triumph for John Swinney. His position on independence was accepted and he made a pretty bouncy closing speech. But what if next May the elections have a result that the combination of independence parties exceeds the 65-seat majority when the SNP alone does not? In this conference episode we also look at the energy policy that was discussed. Is it time to have a really bold policy as Tommy Sheppard and the SNP Trade UInion Group proposed. That is to set up local heat companies, which is something that can be done now under the powers of devolution.  Since nobody's arguing against this will it actually happen? We look at the walk-in GP centers idea. Fraser has had some actual experience this weekend of the provision down south in England, and we talk about much else besides.

#KeirStarmer #Trump #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #ChickenStarmer #StarmerInEgypt #TrumpPeaceDeal #hamas  Keir Starmer is a coward — a CHICKEN — not a leader.  Instead of staying in Britain to face real problems — from violent protests and China spying allegations to the Mandelson scandal — he's running to Egypt to pose at Donald Trump's peace signing. Starmer had nothing to do with this deal and even undermined it by recognising Palestine too early. Now he wants a photo-op with Macron and Trump while dodging scrutiny and avoiding Parliament.  Why is “Never-Here Keir” desperate for attention on the world stage? Why hasn't he faced questions on China spying, hate marches, or the Mandelson affair? Why does he keep hiding behind others instead of leading? This is not leadership — it's cowardice. Starmer is running from Britain's problems and betraying the public.

First, we wrestle with Britain's latest flirtation with national ID cards — a grand plan that looks less like efficiency and more like Big Brother with a clipboard. Why should the average bloke need a barcode to buy a sandwich, when freedom is supposed to be stitched into the fabric of the nation? Then, across the Atlantic, we dip into the bizarre saga of Graceland. Fraudsters tried to swipe Elvis Presley's home with forged paperwork. Yes, really. The King's estate nearly went under the hammer, but the con unraveled faster than a karaoke wig. Lies may glitter for a moment, but truth eventually smashes through like a drum solo. Finally, we dust off the archaeology desk — scientists claim a million-year-old skull has been found, nudging human evolution further back in time. Headlines shout about ancestors with funny foreheads, but the real point is this: theories change, God's truth doesn't. Humanity is still created in His image, whether the skulls are dated one hundred years or a million.

Keir Starmer can't stop talking about Nigel Farage — branding him “racist” and “grubby” over his call to reform right-to-remain rules. Now Rachel Reeves and David Lammy have joined in the attacks. But the reality? Farage is living rent-free in Labour's head. Latest polls show if there were an election today, Nigel Farage would be heading for Number 10. Meanwhile, Starmer risks alienating millions of voters by smearing everyone concerned about mass immigration as “racist.” To make things even messier, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is now proposing immigration rules almost identical to Farage's.

Lesley is back and Finland's in the news, not just because Russian jets invaded Baltic airspace as well as Estonian earlier last weekend, but because they are prepared for a future that perhaps all of us are suddenly having to focus on. Oslo and Copenhagen airports both experienced Russian drones wandering through their airspace and closing those airports and there was an alleged cyberattack in Brussels.It feels like the problems of the continent are certainly coming home to roost. We talk about all of that, and the many ways in which Finland is a country that just actually functions extremely well because it is prepared and it never gave up the good old stuff that many other societies, Britain in particular, just dispensed with, things like trams and affordable housing. So there's a lot of Finland in this week's episode. We also discuss Your Party and its travails and a a bit of Andy Burnham and chanllanges to Kier Starmer. We look too at Palestine and whether recognition will actually aid some sort of progress there. Not to mention Donald Trump and his paracetamol and Seagull gate and the SNP's new CEO.  ★ Support this podcast ★

#Starmer #Israel #UKPolitics #Palestine #Hamas #JonGaunt Keir Starmer is under siege. After the Mandelson scandal blew up, Starmer vanished into his Downing Street bunker He refused to face the Commons, dodged the press, and then finally re-emerged — on a pre-recorded video — to announce support for Palestine! The timing? Conveniently dropped after Trump left the UK, and carefully staged to avoid tough questions. Within seconds of the video release, Starmer was accused of “rewarding terrorism,” Hamas were celebrating, and the public were furious. Polls show 9 out of 10 Brits oppose the move. Jon Gaunt believes this isn't about Gaza at all — it's about clinging to power, shoring up the Muslim block vote, and stopping Jeremy Corbyn's new party from eating into Labour's base.

But the woke elites hate ordinary, working-class people standing up for their country — and now they're even protesting Trump's state visit.  REMEMBER: - When the woke cry ‘racist,' you know we're winning.  - They hate patriotism because they can't control it.  - Working-class pride vs. elite hysteria — guess who's louder?  - Patriots don't apologize for loving their country.  - The flag belongs to the people, not the politicians.  - Patriotism isn't a crime — no matter what the elites say.  - The louder they cry, the stronger we fly the flag. - Britain belongs to its people, not the political class.  Jon Gaunt says the louder they howl, the more obvious it is: the Patriots are turning the tide.

UK is SINKING under STARMER.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation  12 months after Labour's landslide victory the UK is sinking under the leadership of Keir Starmer. What a mess! The Cabinet reshuffle last week has been widely derided as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and it appears the Captain of the ship, Starmer is not at the wheel. He wanted to sack Ed Miliband. He refused to shift so the net zero nonsense continues.  Starmer moved others around but left the architect of many of his problems in position, Rachel Reeves.  He has a new Home secretary in the shape of Shabana Mahmood who is talking tough but without ripping up the ECHR and mass deportation, the UK will still hit that massive illegal immigration iceberg.  Now Starmer is talking about Digital ID cards to combat illegal working thereby penalising us all for the failure of politicians to secure our borders or control all forms of immigration.  Instead of hiding in his bunker, Starmer should address the Nation, declare a State of Emergency, apologise for the 12 months of chaos, and actually listen to the demands of the people and act upon them.  What do you think?

Reform UK had its conference, the polls are moving fast, and we've even got Tory MPs jumping ship to join him. Meanwhile, Starmer suddenly wants to put illegal migrants in military camps and shut down migrant hotels — but let's be honest, it feels like he's copying Farage's homework. Too little, too late. But Farage? He's promising to rip up the ECHR and deport illegal migrants within two weeks of taking power. No wonder people say they trust him more than Labour or the Conservatives right now.

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.
