Rylan Clark Immigration Comments | I Stand With Rylan | Backlash? My Arse!  #RylanClark #ThisMorning #JonGaunt #UKPolitics #Immigration #KeirStarmer  Backlash? My arse! Rylan Clark has said what most ordinary people in the UK are thinking – and it's refreshing to finally hear a big star speak their mind without fear. While politicians like Keir Starmer tiptoe around the truth, Rylan's straight-talking comments on immigration struck a chord with the public. This video breaks down what he said on *This Morning*, why it matters, and why so many of us stand with him. Rylan has shown he's more in touch with the people of this country than many of those running it – and the polls back it up.  Join me as we cut through the outrage, highlight the hypocrisy, and celebrate someone brave enough to say what millions feel.  

Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #Deportation #Starmer #ECHR #RaiseTheFlag #JonGaunt Has Nigel Farage just won the election with his DEPORTATION PLAN?  Britain is boiling over. With over 700,000 illegal migrants in the UK, taxpayer-funded migrant hotels sparking furious protests, and the Raise The Flag campaign sweeping the country—Nigel Farage has just dropped a political bombshell.  His plan? Scrap the Human Rights Act, pull us out of the ECHR, and deport tens of thousands of illegals immediately.  Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has repeatedly vowed to keep Britain in the ECHR—even as public anger explodes.  Is this the moment Farage takes the crown? Is Starmer already toast? We're live—no spin, no filter. #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #Immigration #IllegalMigration #MigrantHotels #ECHR #HumanRightsAct #RaiseTheFlag #PoliticalCrisis #Starmer #JonGaunt #Live #UKGovernment #BritishElections #PublicBacklash #ProtestsUK #PolicyChange #Westminster #UKNews #Flags #BritainFirst  Farage, ReformUK, UKPolitics, Immigration, IllegalMigration, MigrantHotels, ECHR, HumanRightsAct, RaiseTheFlag, PoliticalCrisis, Starmer, JonGaunt, Live, UKGovernment, BritishElections, PublicBacklash, ProtestsUK, PolicyChange, Westminster, UKNews, Flags, BritainFirst  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt  

Is it time for John Swinney to do something robust and clear to make it obvious to everyone that Scotland is really got a different outlook towards the whole question of Palestine and Palestine Action than Westminster? We discuss the call from Ross Greer MSP to explore legal ways to stop arrests and prosecutions like the ludicrous situation of award-wining sreenwriter Paul Laverty.We talk also about the asylum protests that have been going on in Perth and elsewhere and ask where they largely the product of people being bused in or are there deeper problems with asylum and housing. We look at the electoral commission's publication of the annual accounts of Scottish politial parties and look at the numbers. And we discuss the Great John McLean and the campaign to create a permenant memorial to him in Glasgow.LinksPaul Laverty arrest https://youtube.com/shorts/1PCYk92UtpE?si=5s5vkpMC2-qYoDQvSaturday 6th September at 2pm outside Scotland Office (off Royal Mile) EdinburghMore info soon onhttps://www.scottishpsc.org.ukJohn Maclean statueCrowdfunder - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/john-maclean-statue-campaign-2Article - https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/25415449.crowdfunder-bid-statue-revolutionary-john-maclean-glasgow/"I wish no harm to any human being” "No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind,” “I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”John Maclean March - Hamish Hendersonhttps://youtu.be/4gaUezjN87w?si=vKgb-8SzFGZ6ALrQ ★ Support this podcast ★

As Nigel Farage unveils plans to deport more than half a million illegal immigrants, we ask if it will hit home politically. Are voters more interested in policies, rhetoric, or data?Also on the programme:The French government is teetering on the edge - as the finance minister warns that France could need an IMF bail-out.And we discuss the role of sensitivity readers.

Starmer Says Britain Isn't Broken – Liar, Failure, and Finished Starmer #BritainBroken #LucyConnolly #IllegalImmigration #MigrantHotels #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #NigelFarage Starmer says Britain isn't broken. He's a liar, a failure, and he's finished. He's ignored illegal immigration, packed hotels with migrants, failed to smash the gangs, and put freeloaders and foreigners before Brits. The economy is collapsing, small businesses are dying, we're staring down the barrel of an IMF bailout, he's up to his neck in allegations over the Lucy Connolly case, pushing restrictions on free speech, his MPs are turning on him – and now he's attacking Nigel Farage in a political suicide mission.  I expose why Starmer's time is up. #Starmer #BritainBroken #LucyConnolly #IllegalImmigration #MigrantHotels #UKPolitics #KeirStarmer #NigelFarage #EconomyCrisis #CostOfLiving #SmallBusinesses #PubsClosing #FreeSpeech #LucyConnolly #LabourParty #PoliticalCrisis #UKNews #StarmerFinished #StarmerExposed #UKEconomy #UKImmigration #BritishPolitics #StarmerLies #StarmerFailure #LabourRevolt #UKGovernment #BorderCrisis #ChannelCrossings #MigrantCrisis #UKLabour #StarmerVsFarage #StarmerUnderPressure #UKTaxCrisis #BritainInDecline #StarmerOut #EndOfStarmer #UKCostOfLiving #IMFBailout #BrokenBritain #StarmerDisaster #UKLeadershipCrisis #StarmerCollapse #StarmerAttacksFarage #UKCollapse #LucyConnollyCase #FreeSpeechUK #StarmerCensorship  Starmer, BritainBroken, IMF, IllegalImmigration, MigrantHotels, UKPolitics, KeirStarmer, NigelFarage, EconomyCrisis, CostOfLiving, SmallBusinesses, PubsClosing, FreeSpeech, LucyConnolly, LabourParty, PoliticalCrisis, UKNews, StarmerFinished, StarmerExposed, UKEconomy, UKImmigration, BritishPolitics, StarmerLies, StarmerFailure, LabourRevolt, UKGovernment, BorderCrisis, ChannelCrossings, MigrantCrisis, UKLabour, StarmerVsFarage, StarmerUnderPressure, UKTaxCrisis, BritainInDecline, StarmerOut, EndOfStarmer, UKCostOfLiving, IMFBailout, BrokenBritain, StarmerDisaster, UKLeadershipCrisis, StarmerCollapse, StarmerAttacksFarage, UKCollapse, LucyConnollyCase, FreeSpeechUK, StarmerCensorship  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

UKPolitics #Immigration #WokeCulture #Labour #Starmer #BBC #UnionJack #JonGaunt #SaintGeorgesFlag Has Britain lost its greatness — or can we still be proud of our nation? Tonight, Jon Gaunt takes on the biggest issues dividing the country:

UK Cuts Own Throat! Illegals Get Homes & Flags Banned UK Cuts Own Throat! Illegals Get Homes & Flags Banned  #UKPolitics #IllegalMigrants #FlagsBanned #RickyJones #JonGaunt #TwoTierJustice #Labour #Birmingham #Starmer  Meanwhile, Labour councillor Ricky Jones was found not guilty after branding protestors as “Nazi Fascists” and even urging, “We need to cut their throats.”  Birmingham City Council goes bankrupt — and bans the Union Flag from lampposts, while spending thousands lighting up the city library in Pakistan colours for Pakistan Day. But did they do the same on St George's Day?  As predicted, illegal migrants are being moved from hotels into Homes of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) — a con trick where even local councils are kept in the dark.  The UK is being invaded and fundamentally changed at alarming speed, while Keir Starmer plays "world statesman." So the big question: Are we cutting our own throat as a sovereign nation?  

BBCBias #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics #MediaCensorship #JonGaunt #ChrisMiddleton #IndependentJournalism Broadcaster Jon Gaunt interviews Chris Middleton, the man behind the viral anti-Keir Starmer song “Freezing This Christmas” – a parody of Mud's “Lonely This Christmas”.  The track became a political hit, helped drive a campaign to reverse winter fuel cuts… and got Chris sacked from BBC Newcastle. In this explosive interview, Chris reveals: - Why he made the song and the reaction it sparked How BBC bosses pushed political bias and silenced dissent - Insider stories from BBC Newcastle and BBC London - Why he believes the BBC has no place in modern broadcasting - The truth about coverage on migrant hotels, climate change, and right-wing demonstrations  Jon shares his own BBC London experience, where he says left-wing bias soared after 9/11 and 7/7. Together, they discuss freedom of speech, the chilling impact of the UK's new Online Safety Act, and how the BBC, Ofcom, and the political establishment stifle independent journalism.  

Nicola Sturgeon and her book is absolutely everywhere with the press full of the tiniest revelations. We have a look, neither of us having read the book, but take a look at really what's sitting behind some of the more serious revelations, particularly over the wisdom of pressing on with the gender recognition reforms, and behind the scenes, what was really happening. We ask the whether we going to learn anything that helps us with creating a more democratic country in Scotland that isn't so reliant on leaders and top-down instruction through all of this? Or just promote Nicola Sturgeon's book sales?All of that and news from the big wind farm convention that was held in Inverness where Lesely was present making a new film.Are these guys just NIMBYs who need to knuckle down and accept the hardware the same as everyone else for the green transition? Or has planning for it and democracy about it just gone completely out the window?

Trump #NationalGuard #Starmer #UKPolitics #BorderCrisis #ElectionNow #SadiqKhan #JonGaunt While Donald Trump takes decisive action in Washington DC, deploying the National Guard to restore order, the UK drifts deeper into chaos under Sir Keir Starmer's watch. From the southern border to the streets of DC, Trump proves where there's a will, there's a way. Meanwhile, in Britain, the political establishment sits on its hands: Illegal crossings surge as the Channel remains unguarded. Crime spirals as shoplifters walk free and police focus on tweets, not streets. London is plagued with violent crime, yet we get painted signs on pavements warning of phone snatchers instead of officers catching them. Like Washington, our capital needs cleaning up – and then we must move through the rest of the UK. Communities protest outside migrant hotels as tensions mount. 650,000 people have signed a petition demanding an election. Mums are protesting. Vigilante groups are forming. The UK needs action now – troops at Dover, the Navy in the Channel, and real policing on our streets.

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.

A blowy week in Scotland and for Scottish Politics, we speak about Kate Forbes's decision not to stand in next year's Holyrood Election. We look at the huge question of childcare, not just for her, but for everyone, speculate on who might stand in her constituency. We analyise the the disagreements on concience and policy issues from the stance gay marriage to Kate's economic strategy, and look at the suggestion that infrastructure has to come first before you can get to wealth creation, and childcare is infrastructure.We also discuss Kier Starmer and his guttural position on Palestine and John Swinney's much interrupted Edinburgh Fringe gig over the question of whether he has condemned Israel's genocide. All of that with a little swatch of Belladrum and a lot of speculation and the wind.LinksMike Mackenzie column about the inability of a devolved government to properly finance infrastructure; https://www.thenational.scot/politics/25361743.highlands-islands-will-win-scottish-independence/ Jon Shafi column about all parties in a state of collapse and flux not just the SNP.https://www.thenational.scot/politics/25365016.politicians-fleeing-stage-old-certainties-collapse/Kate Forbes - Mum guilt means my daughter comes with mehttps://www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/article/kate-forbes-snp-mum-children-interview-2zfvjn8pr ★ Support this podcast ★

JonGaunt #TwoTierBritain #UsVsThem #PoliticalElite #Elite #BritainDivided #UKPolitics Britain is broken — split into two nations: the elite who rule, and the rest of us who are ignored. I'm Jon Gaunt, and tonight I'm exposing the truth about Two-Tier Britain.  We'll ask the questions the establishment won't answer: - Does the Government really care about ordinary people? - Why are we told to feel ashamed of our flag, our culture, and our history? - Will another £800 million stop the boats, smash the gangs, or fix illegal migration? - Do freeloaders and special interest groups get treated better than the working taxpayer? - Why does the BBC ignore voices like yours? - And if we are the many and they are the few — how are they still in charge? This isn't the BBC. This isn't mainstream spin. This is YOUR show. Your voice. Your fight.

UKPolitics #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Gaza #Hamas #Trump Jon Gaunt sits down with former Brexit Party MEP and leading businessman Lance Forman for a hard-hitting interview on UK politics, the Middle East, Donald Trump, and the future of Britain. Lance blasts Keir Starmer's “ceasefire ultimatum” as a dangerous gamble — accusing him of rewarding terrorism, ignoring Donald Trump's influence, and pandering to his backbenchers over fears of Jeremy Corbyn's political comeback. He argues that Israel has already offered a ceasefire, and that Hamas is holding things up.  He doesn't hold back on the BBC, accusing it of bias and a hidden anti-Semitic agenda in British politics and media. Lance warns that Starmer's first year in office has been a disaster, and predicts: “There's no way back for Starmer… and that's quite dangerous.”  From Trump's approach to business, immigration, and taxes to the lack of real-world experience in the UK's political elite, Lance delivers an unfiltered take on why Britain is “in such a mess.”  He also defends Nigel Farage from the Jimmy Savile smear, calling him the most charismatic leader in UK politics today.  In this explosive conversation, Lance also reveals: • Why Trump “gets” the Middle East and Starmer doesn't • The truth about Brexit and Theresa May • Why a new definition of Islamophobia is unnecessary •  How political inexperience is crippling Britain's leadership  If you care about UK politics, Brexit, free speech, or the Middle East, you won't want to miss this.  #Brexit #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Ceasefire #Israel #Hamas #Trump #BBCBias #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #Corbyn #MiddleEast #Islamophobia #TheresaMay #BrexitParty  Lance Forman, jon gaunt, keir starmer, gaza, ceasefire, israel, hamas, trump, bbc bias, uk politics, nigel farage, corbyn, middle east, islamophobia, theresa may, brexit party, starmer gaza gamble, starmer is finished, dangerous times ahead, uk government, labour party, political crisis, british politics, farage next pm

Labour Meltdown: Trump Humiliates Starmer – Farage Hit with Sick Smear  #KeirStarmer #NigelFarage #DonaldTrump #JonGaunt #UKPolitics  Yesterday's political drama was explosive — and Sir Keir Starmer is at the centre of it. Donald Trump publicly humiliated the Labour leader, leaving him the laughing stock of Britain and beyond. But instead of fixing the mess, Starmer and Labour have launched a vile smear campaign against Nigel Farage.  First, they tried the tired “racist” label. Now, they've escalated to a disgusting claim linking Farage to Jimmy Savile. This desperate attack, pushed by Peter Kyle and backed by Number 10, is a clear attempt to distract from Starmer's disastrous Trump encounter. Meanwhile, instead of tackling the issues Brits care about most — grooming gangs, the migrant crisis, and riots — Starmer has called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss Gaza and has now announced that the UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September!  Jon Gaunt breaks down the political chaos, the truth behind Labour's smear tactics, and why Starmer's leadership is in serious trouble.

Donald Trump comes to Scotland and don't we know it! President Trump, with saltires fluttering on his motorcade instead of the union flag descended this week on Turnberry in Ayrshire and then up to Aberdeenshire. He's described John Sweeney as a terrific guy despite not really having met him yet and he suggests that all the proceeds from removing tariffs should go to Scotland, not to the UK. We discuss whether he's just mixing it, whether he actually favours Scotland in some way or is it all just rubbish that will be reversed next week.We also talk also about John Swinney's suggestion that there should be a constitutional convention. Again, that's suggested now, having been ruled out in previous weeks. We look at the SNP's strategy, such as it is, that there can be no move forward for Scotland without a referendum and that a referendum will only come if the SNP somehow manages to get over the line as the largest party in 2020. Simples! We take a look at the latest announcements. We also discuss the action that's ongoing against supporters of Gaza and the emergency UK cabinet meeting.LinksDave Pearson article about private wires https://bylines.scot/news/scotland/retaining-scotlands-wind-wealth-a-strategy-for-renewable-power/A 'good constituency MP'? how ‘hard working local politicians' are facilitating a genocidehttps://substack.com/home/post/p-169235829 ★ Support this podcast ★

Jon Gaunt says that in just 20 minutes, Donald Trump destroyed Keir Starmer and handed the keys of Number 10 to Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Trump showed how securing the border and stopping illegal immigration won him the White House — and exposed Starmer's total weakness on the issue. Starmer squirmed, lied, and stumbled when challenged on illegal immigration, farmers' anger, crime in London under Sadiq Khan, and more. It was excruciating and hilarious in equal measure. Just a day after the Lionesses made us proud to be English again, our Prime Minister was humiliated in front of the world's press. Was this the longest political suicide note in British history? Can Starmer survive it?  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

NigelFarage #Migranthotels #JonGaunt #ReformUK #Epping #UKPolitics And now politicians must listen to us the people . Epping is just the latest tinder box but the reason why people are now getting angry is because Starmer and Labour never tell the truth and don't communicate with us the people who pay their wages.  We the people have an absolute right to know which hotels are being used to accommodate illegal migrants but no, the Government prefer to keep us in the dark.  Starmer was told by his own terrorist Czar after the Southport atrocity that creating an information vacuum creates more trouble than just telling people the facts.  Now Angela Rayner and Starmer tell the cabinet there could be riots like Southport this year…. Then they bugger off on holiday! The PM and cabinet should be staying at their desks to solve this problem.  We need an immediate stop to all examples of Two-Tier policing including Essex Police who escorted the Antifa hate mob into Epping last night. I don't blame the individual coppers, I blame the liberal woke leaders of the cops.  The Migrant hotel protests are spreading across the UK and the only way to stop them is to show who is in charge, stop the boats, close the hotels and start deporting these illegal migrants.  Immigration both legal and illegal unfortunately is the problem and the sooner Starmer understands this the better.  The Prime minister must lead from the front NOT the Sun lounger.  #NigelFarage #Migranthotels #JonGaunt #ReformUK #Epping #UKPolitics #CrimeUK #TommyRobinson #BritishPolitics #LawAndOrder #LiveDebate #Farage #PrisonCrisis #Deportation #UKRiots  Nigel Farage, Civil Unrest, Jon Gaunt, Reform UK, Epping, UK Politics, Crime UK, Tommy Robinson, British Politics, Law and Order, Live Debate, Farage, Prison Crisis, Deportation, UK Riots

In this episode of iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, SBC's Martyn Elliott, Ted Menmuir and Ted Orme-Claye, explore a pivotal moment for UK gambling regulation as the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Gambling Reform reconvenes to launch a new inquiry into the sector's future. Chaired by Conservative Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the inquiry revisits the Gambling Act review white paper to assess whether proposed reforms still meet the evolving demands of public policy and industry accountability.Key topics at the heart of the inquiry include gambling advertising, stake limits, and the role of local authorities in regulating high-street betting. Reform advocates are calling for stricter controls on TV ads, sports sponsorships, and social media promotions, especially to protect younger audiences. Other areas under review may include the statutory levy, financial risk checks, and the creation of a gambling ombudsman to oversee consumer protections.This episode also examines the growing tension between reformist momentum and the gambling industry's lack of a unified political voice. As the UK government faces competing priorities, this inquiry could act as a catalyst for significant change, particularly in high-visibility areas like advertising, where public sentiment may sway policy decisions quickly.Host: Martyn ElliottGuests: Ted Menmuir & Ted Orme-ClayeProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

There's a bit of a protest theme in this week's podcast. Obviously the Gaza Palestine demonstration at the weekend where Lesley was speaking. Thankfully there weren't arrests at the time, but could they be yet to come? There was also, if you like, the protest of Richard Murphy on Radio Scotland, interrupted continually on a program about bias and trust in the BBC.We discuss the rebels who've been booted out of the parliamentary Labour Party, but oddly not all the rebels that voted for axing the welfare cuts that were put forwward by Kier Starmer. Will this produce more dissent within a party that's now polling about the same as the new left wing party created by Zara Sultana that dosen't even exit yet.We talk about Trump and his potential comeuppance over his connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

Starmer's Youth Vote Gamble: Will It Save Him – or Sink Him Starmer #VotingAge #UKPolitics #ReformUK #Farage #JonGaunt Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner have announced plans to lower the voting age to 16. But is this genuine democratic reform — or a last-ditch attempt to rig the next General Election? In this explosive live broadcast, Jon Gaunt breaks down the truth behind Labour's latest move: ✅ Why giving 16-year-olds the vote could backfire on Starmer ✅ How Farage, Reform UK, and Corbyn's Gaza Party could benefit instead ✅ Starmer's record-breaking purge of Labour MPs – 10 whip withdrawals in 12 months ✅ The hypocrisy of letting teens vote but not smoke, drink or join the army ✅ Why many young voters are disillusioned with Labour and shifting to extremes  This isn't about democracy — it's about desperation. Join the chat, sound off, and let's expose the political theatre for what it really is.

Donate to support the podcast There's been a lot of missing in action in this week's podcast. Where is the Scottish government and the SNP when an energy supplier, Octopus, calls for zonal pricing that would give Scotland the cheapest energy in Europe? They're kind of missing in action. We talk about the latest proposals by Rachel Reeves, which looks like a bonfire of the regulations on the banking sector, which kind of prompted all the chaos post 2008.Is that really going to be such a great advance? And back to Israel and Palestine, some shocking admissions, about the connections between the current Labour government and trips to Israel that were not declared by MPs.

Macron's Right: UK Is a Soft Touch for Migrants #UKMigration #MigrantCrisis #EmmanuelMacron #StopTheBoats #UKPolitics #JonGaunt In this video, Jon Gaunt tackles the migrant crisis gripping Britain. French President Emmanuel Macron has called the UK a “soft touch” for illegal migrants—and he's not wrong. The UK has already paid France over £500 million to “stop the boats,” yet Channel crossings continue to surge. While British taxpayers fund France's failed promises, UK Border Force struggles with the endless stream of migrant boats. Even King Charles has now mentioned “irregular migration” in his speech—words carefully scripted by Keir Starmer's government. It's clear: Britain's immigration policy is broken. Watch as Jon Gaunt exposes: - The £500 million wasted on France - Emmanuel Macron's brutal words about the UK - How Starmer's government is quietly shifting the migration narrative - Why the migrant crisis keeps escalating. This is a MUST-WATCH for anyone fed up with illegal migration, weak border controls, and political double-speak.

On this week's episode, we talk about the putative new Left-wing party possibly headed by Jeremy Corbyn. We speculate on why he hasn't said he will join it and what is happening on the Scottish front with a group that's promising a meeting in October. It's not very clear whether it supports independence or not.We talk about the victory of a left candidate for the Democratic nomination in New York City with a program that would probably make Jeremy Corbyn's heart sing.We're still talking about the wider question of Palestine and the shameful decision by the SNP group at Westminster to abstain on the vote on Palestine Action as they succumbed to Westminster bullying tactics and were outfoxed by Labour's procedural shenanigans. We reflect that in the previous parliament, with MPs like Tommy Sheppard, Dr Phillipa Whitford and Joanna Cherry, this would not have happened. That and much more besides, including bits and bits about the Western Isles and the, uh, glorious bounciness of Greenlanders.And we have a guest spot with Mick Napier from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign ahead of a planned demonstration.1 pm meeting at the foot of the Mound, Edinburgh. LinksFinland Film  https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/finland---the-education-superstars-a-new-filmNHS Apphttps://www.digitalhealth.net/2024/10/scotland-s-digital-front-door-platform-to-go-beyond-the-nhs-app/https://www.holyrood.com/inside-politics/view%2Cplaying-catchup-will-the-rollout-of-the-long-overdue-nhs-app-help-take-pressure-off-scotlands-gpsCnoc Soilleirhttps://www.nwh.uhi.ac.uk/en/about-us/campuses-and-centres/cnoc-soilleir/Lesley Riddoch and Fraser Thompson ★ Support this podcast ★

Starmer Copy Trump - Build UK ‘Alligator Alcatraz' to Stop Migrants! AlligatorAlcatraz #MigrantCrisis #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #Starmer #Trump Florida built Alligator Alcatraz — a 3,000-bed migrant detention centre — in just eight days. Jon Gaunt says, That's how you stop illegal immigration. No endless debates. No excuses. The UK should do the same. We're wasting £8 million a day putting illegal migrants in hotels, while our streets and services are at breaking point. Enough. We could easily convert empty warehouses, old retail units, or even temporary structures for rapid migrant holding centres. Fast processing, faster deportations — no-frills, no nonsense.  Any migrant caught working illegally — whether in cash-in-hand jobs or delivery apps — should be deported immediately. No second chances. Leave the ECHR to make this possible. Since Christmas, over 20,000 illegal migrants have entered the UK. The public has had enough — poll after poll proves immigration is the number one issue for voters. Reform UK's rapid growth proves people want action, not more talk. The UK must stop being a soft touch. It's time to get serious.  #MigrantCrisis #UKPolitics #Immigration #Starmer #Trump #BorderControl #AlligatorAlcatraz #Deportation #ReformUK #StopIllegalImmigration Jon Gaunt, Starmer, Keir Starmer, Donald Trump, Trump migrant policy, UK migrant crisis, Alligator Alcatraz, Florida detention center, UK immigration crisis, UK migrant crisis 2025, Reform UK, immigration news, UK politics, migrant crisis solution, deportation UK, border security UK, migrant hotels, stop illegal immigration UK, asylum seeker crisis, immigration crackdown  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

The BBC and STARMER Are FINISHED – Here's Why  #JonGaunt #BBC #KeirStarmer #Glastonbury #RaceHate #ReformUK Both organisations are hopelessly out of touch with the British population with their Anti Trump bias, Anti Israel , small boats, immigration, Muslim rape gangs inquiry and disdain for patriotism. Jon Gaunt says that the Glastonbury race hate scandal has put the nail in their coffin.  They are both in thrall to Reform UK and Nigel Farage and have no policies of their own.  Tim Davie the Director General must resign or be sacked today.  Starmer has not only lost the country but clearly also his own party with the MPs rebellion on Welfare reforms. Starmer is Prime minister in name only. Let's ‘DEPORT' both of these useless so-called Leaders.

And that's this year. Because next year, of course, is a whole new ball game for those wishing to sign up to PIP.We speculate on what these reforms and the opposition to them means for Labour Party support, for Keir Starmer's personal authority and popularity. We look also at, last week's Question Time where Lesley was on the panel, having just been stung in the throat by a wasp! Drawn no parallels or importance from that other than it was a strange way to prepare.We also discuss the big events of the week, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Kneecap and Bob Vylan's and the BBC's decisions to broadcast and not broadcast, which are inadvertently helping to promote artists who are the only people able to bring this issue to the forefront. We also look at NATO spending via a quote from the late great Hamish Henderson, Fraser relfects on his time working in the Westminster Parliament and much more besides.

Forget 1 In 1 Out – We Want ZERO In, 50,000 OUT. Starmer Is Finished. Keir Starmer's leadership is collapsing. #Starmer #MigrantHotels #JonGaunt #UKPolitics #EnochPowell Keir Starmer's leadership is collapsing. After three major U-turns in just days — on winter fuel payments, the Muslim grooming gangs public inquiry, and now a welfare cuts retreat — the question is: What does Starmer actually believe in? And now, he's disowning his own immigration speech where he referred to Britain as an “Island of Strangers” — claiming he didn't realise it echoed Enoch Powell. The irony? That speech struck a chord with many ordinary Brits.  Meanwhile, 50,000 illegal migrants are still living in hotels, funded by taxpayers. The public isn't asking for “1 in 1 out.” We're demanding:

Welfare Bill Revolt SINKS Starmer — 120 Labour MPs Rebel | Labour Crisis #JonGaunt #WelfareBill #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty   Jon Gaunt breaks down the explosive Welfare Bill revolt, as 120 Labour MPs rebel against Keir Starmer's leadership. This unprecedented internal revolt could sink Starmer's leadership and trigger a full-scale Labour Party crisis. Starmer loses either way. If he wins the actual vote he is still the loser as this is clearly a vote of confidence on his first 12 months in office. He has made more missteps than a fat TV personality on Strictly! Winter fuel allowance U-Turn, VAT on private schools, calling Southport protestors Far Right, Lucy Connolly, Ukraine, Not backing Trump on Iran and plenty more. He has the worst poll ratings of any PM in history. Can he survive? What does this mean for UK politics in 2025? And with Starmer's position now under intense pressure, who could replace him? Angela Rayner? Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester? Or Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London? Gaunty examines the political fallout, party divisions, and the battle for Labour's future.

Soft Touch UK: Paradise for Migrants, Criminals & Protesters | LIVE Jon Gaunt SoftTouchUK #JonGaunt #UKPolitics #IllegalImmigration #LawAndOrder #MigrantsCrisis #PrisonOvercrowding Jon Gaunt asks — Has Britain become a soft-touch paradise for law-breakers? Illegal migrants housed in taxpayer-funded hotels while working in the black market. Prisons overcrowded, dangerous offenders released early. Military bases sabotaged — no arrests made. Mass protests dominating the streets — with police looking the other way.

In this week's podcast, we discuss Trump's attacks on Iran facilitating attacks by Israel and then demanding a ceasefire. It's an odd way to get diplomatic results. We react to Donald Trump's four-letter outburst as he baulks at Israel's flouting of the cease-fire and Iran's response.We also look at the attempts to proscribe Palestine action, which look very destined to simply encourage support for this soon-to-be-banned group. And we also look at the likely rebellion against labour's cuts to PIP payments.Listen to the end for some great tributes to Pat as he goes for his 3rd retirement so far.
