STARMER GONE! BURNHAM CORONATION ? GENERAL ELECTION NOW! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #LabourLeadership #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #ReformUK #NigelFarage Keir Starmer has gone. But does that mean the British people should simply accept Andy Burnham being handed the keys to Number 10? Jon Gaunt asks the question many voters are already asking: where is the democracy in all of this? Millions voted in a General Election based on Labour's manifesto and Keir Starmer's promises. If Labour now chooses a new leader with a completely different agenda, should the country simply accept it? Should Andy Burnham automatically become Prime Minister without a public vote? Or is it time for a fresh General Election so the British people can decide who governs the country? We'll discuss: ✅ Starmer's departure ✅ The prospect of a Burnham leadership ✅ Whether Labour still has a mandate ✅ Reform UK's chances ✅ Nigel Farage's next move ✅ The future of Britain Join Jon Gaunt and tell us what YOU think.

Sir Keir Starmer's resignation has come as no surprise to those who listen to this - or pretty any - show on this station. But what should worry us is why. Sure, he was a dud. Sure, he was a bit of a goofball. He wasn't cool. But, on immigration he was, at-least, trying. Net immigration was 85% below peak. Crime there is apparently falling. The economy's stumbling but not fallen over. The Times newspaper nailed it with a headline: 'Panicking politicians addicted to iPhones oust a Prime Minister'. In just ten years they've had Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Starmer and now, shortly, Burnham. Who'll probably end up just as loathed and hated as the bloke who went before him. I don't think this is just a politics thing, and certainly not just a British thing. We humans are undergoing an evolutionary metamorphosis - into impatient and petulant children. All of us. Yesterday researchers reported kids can't watch movies these days because their attention spans are too short. And movies are meant to be fun. Musical albums are a thing of the past. Even the idea of a sitting and listening to entire song is foreign to some - a few seconds or hooks of a chorus on TikTok passes as easy listening these days. Forget reading a book. Is it any wonder the world is chewing through political leaders like there's no tomorrow. And consuming more content than the world ever has in its history, yet somehow end up dumber than beforehand? And the irony of AI, the great saviour of the universe, the technological equivalent of Andy Burnham, will save us time. Will give us mor time. To read and watch movies and switch political leaders. What on earth will we do with it all? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
STOP CELEBRATING! BURNHAM WILL BE WORSE THAN STARMER #AndyBurnham #KeirStarmer #GeneralElection #ReformUK #NigelFarage #PoliticsLive #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #JonGaunt #Live Keir Starmer is FINISHED. HE IS AN EX PM! BUT now we're told Andy Burnham is the answer! Really? Why are so many commentators celebrating a man whose politics are fundamentally LEFT WING Labour politics? If Starmer has failed, why would another Labour insider suddenly succeed? Tonight I'll ask whether Burnham would actually be tougher on crime, immigration, free speech, net zero or the economy. Or is this just another establishment attempt to rebrand the same old product? Starmer has lost the country? However does Britain need a new Labour leader—or a General Election?

FIRST WITH YESTERDAY'S NEWS (highlights from the weekend on Newstalk ZB) Chloe's Coming for You/World Cups Are Pretty Fun/That Rugby Thing Wasn't Though/Revolving PMs/Is Suzy Undead?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Portland's Business Struggles and Las Vegas's SCHEDULE JBS 6-19-2026.1900 LAGrowth. Guest: Jeff Bliss. High taxes and progressive policies in Portland are driving a corporate exodus, including Under Armour, as business districts empty. Conversely, Las Vegas is thriving, highlighted by the opening of a massive four-story In-N-Out on the Strip. The segment also covers California's proposed wealth tax and calls to nationalize AI. 1Ethics Investigations into the Newsom Administration. Guest: Jeff Bliss. Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, face investigations regarding millions in "behested payments" from entities like PG&E to her media company. While Newsom dismisses the probe as political weaponization, critics suggest these payments indicate potential undue influence and significant ethical scandals within the administration. 2Critique of Middle East Ceasefire Strategy. Guest: Richard Epstein. Epstein argues that recurring ceasefire declarations are merely strategic devices for rearmament rather than genuine steps toward peace. He criticizes current negotiation styles for alienating allies and failing to pursue the unconditional surrender of adversaries, which he believes is the only stable solution for regional security. 3Supreme Court Rulings on Gun Rights and Drug Use. Guest: Richard Epstein. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that marijuana use alone does not justify the categorical stripping of a citizen's Second Amendment rights. Epstein critiques the court's narrow reliance on originalism, suggesting a "police power" analysis should instead determine if a person poses an immediate physical threat. 4Economic Resilience in D.C. and Lancaster County. Guest: Jim McTague. A drop in gasoline prices has boosted consumer spending at retail stores and supermarkets. While D.C. remains popular with tourists, employers are struggling to find workers with specialized technical skills. Meanwhile, the housing market remains robust at the high end despite higher interest rates. 5Italian Defense Pressures and the Summer Heatwave. Guest: Lorenzo Fiori. Italy's government is balancing NATO's demands for increased military spending against rising energy costs. Simultaneously, a record-breaking heatwave reaching 104°F in Milan is straining public resources, prompting Fiori to recommend the cooler Garfagnana region for its fresh environment and traditional bean and cabbage soup. 6SpaceX's Aggressive Launch Schedule and Innovation. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Gwynne Shotwell indicates that SpaceX's Starship may begin operational flights and orbital refueling tests by year's end. The company is also demolishing older facilities at Vandenberg for new launchpads, while private startups advance 3D-printed rockets and orbital satellite rescue missions to assist aging telescopes. 7Mars Discoveries and Cosmological Mysteries. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The discovery of galaxies devoid of dark matter is challenging fundamental astronomical theories. On Mars, the Curiosity rover has reached smooth ground after five years of rocky terrain. Additionally, orbiters have detected multiple dust devils and potential frost and ice in the planet's equatorial regions during winter. 8Literary Giants of the New England Renaissance. Guest: Bruce Nichols. This segment explores the intense relationship between Hawthorne and Melville, who dedicated Moby Dick to Hawthorne. While Ralph Waldo Emersonoften criticized their dark worldviews, these authors, alongside Walt Whitman and Margaret Fuller, were instrumental in inventing a uniquely original and enduring American literary voice. 9Thoreau's Performative Solitude at Walden Pond. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Henry David Thoreau built his famous cabin on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Contrary to his image as a total hermit, Thoreau was quite social, often walking into town for fresh-cooked meals and laundry. He eventually spent years refining his journals into the masterpiece Walden. 10The Struggles and Triumphs of Louisa May Alcott. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Louisa May Alcott supported her family because her father, Bronson Alcott, failed to earn a consistent living. She served as a Civil War nurse, dealing with horrific casualties before contracting a severe illness she attributed to mercury poisoning. Her 1868 novel Little Womenfinally resolved the family's debts. 11The Literary Legacy and Final Days of the Alcotts. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Following the success of Little Women, Alcott resisted fan demands for her protagonist to marry Laurie, choosing an independent path. As the circle aged, both Emerson and Bronson Alcott suffered significant cognitive decline, with Louisa providing essential financial and personal support until her death in 1888. 12Diplomatic Strains and Escalation Risks in Ukraine. Guest: Anatol Lieven. European leaders are divided over initiating direct negotiations with Russia as the war remains stuck on the ground. While some advocate for offering Putina "golden bridge" to claim a symbolic victory, others argue for continued pressure, despite the constant risks of accidental or nuclear escalation. 13The Rise of Andy Burnham in UK Politics. Guest: Anatol Lieven. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is emerging as a formidable potential successor to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Though Burnham enjoys strong regional support, he faces daunting national issues, including the funding crisis in the NHS and Britain's inability to borrow like the United States. 14A Vision for Governance Reform in Canada. Guest: Conrad Black. Biographer Conrad Black and billionaire Stephen Jarislowsky have proposed recommendations to streamline Canadian governance by reducing duplicated bureaucracy. They argue that Canada's public service is top-heavy and that lowering corporate and personal taxes is essential for maintaining economic growth and competitiveness with the United States. 15CISA's Mission to Protect Critical Infrastructure. Guest: Francis Rose. Acting Director Nick Anderson explains CISA's role as a vital clearinghouse for cyber threat information across federal and private sectors. Since 85% of critical infrastructure is privately owned, CISA focuses on information exchange to prevent bad actors from moving laterally to disrupt water or power supplies. 16

King of the North, By-Election Blues, and Tartan Army JoyWell, the by-elections were well worth waiting for. In this delayed "wait for it" by-election special, Lesley and Fraser digest a massive week in UK and Scottish politics. Andy Burnham has secured a predictable but comprehensive landslide in Mackerfield, leaving everyone wondering how quickly he might challenge Keir Starmer for the keys to Number 10. Meanwhile, the SNP faces a disappointing loss in Aberdeen South, prompting questions about energy policy, land taxes, and rural trust. Plus, the Tartan Army takes over America with an incredible display of joy and cultural diplomacy.In this episode, we discuss:Burnham's Path to Number 10: Andy Burnham defeated Reform, Restore, and the Tories combined with 55% of the vote in Mackerfield. We look at his victory speech, the rumors of cabinet resignations, and why Keir Starmer is stubbornly hanging on despite plummeting popularity.Aberdeen South & SNP Frustrations: The SNP lost the Aberdeen South by-election to the Conservatives, the first Tory by-election win in Scotland since 1973. We discuss how Stephen Flynn's move to Holyrood triggered the vote and whether he will take a hit for it. We also dive into the Scottish Government's lack of action on community wealth-building opportunities like onshore wind repowering and land taxes.Tartan Army Takeover: From securing Haggis approvals in Massachusetts to twinning with Glasgow, the Scotland fans are outclassing everyone with their energy and charity work. We contrast their joyful behavior in Boston with the rather more hostile chants coming from England fans in Dallas.Highland Clearances on Film: Lesley shares updates from a poignant filming trip to the clearance site at Rosal in Strathnaver. We discuss the rich oral traditions kept alive by the community, the struggle to find authentic black Highland cows, and how crofters actually lived in longhouses the size of modern three-bedroom bungalows.Upcoming Schedule: There will be no podcast next week as Lesley heads off to an island in Donegal with her bike, panniers, and absolutely no Wi-Fi or potable water.

BRING BACK THE ROPE? Preston Davey & Child Killers #PrestonDavey #JusticeForPreston #DeathPenalty #JonGauntTV #UKNews #BreakingNews #CommonSense The tragic murder of little Preston Davey has sent shockwaves across the country, leaving us all asking the same question: Is our justice system failing our children? Today on Jon Gaunt TV, we're tackling the debate that many are too afraid to have. When a crime is this horrific, is "life" behind bars truly enough, or is it time to bring back the death penalty for child killers? Preston's story has touched the heart of the nation, but it's also ignited a fire. We need to talk about real justice, real deterrents, and whether the ultimate punishment is the only fitting response to the ultimate crime. I want to hear from you. Has this case changed your mind? Is it time for the law to get tough, or is the death penalty a step too far? Join the conversation.
STARMER IS FINISHED: BUT Is ANDY BURNHAM The Answer? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #Labour #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #ReformUK Keir Starmer's authority is under intense pressure. Polls are bleak, Labour MPs are restless, and rumours of a leadership challenge refuse to go away. But if Starmer falls, is replacing him with Andy Burnham really the answer? Tonight, Jon Gaunt asks a simple question: who actually voted for Andy Burnham to become Prime Minister? Millions of people voted in the last General Election based on Labour's manifesto and on the promises made by Keir Starmer. If Labour simply swaps leaders without returning to the country, is that democratic? Or is it another example of Westminster politicians deciding they know better than the voters? We'll debate whether the real issue is not Starmer himself, but the direction of the Labour Party. Has Labour abandoned the promises it made to the British people? Has it drifted away from the concerns of ordinary voters on immigration, crime, free speech and the cost of living? And what would Andy Burnham actually do differently? Would he tackle concerns about unequal policing and justice? Would he recognise the growing public perception that some laws are enforced differently depending on who is protesting, who is speaking, or what cause is being promoted? Or would it simply be more of the same under a different face? If Starmer is finished, should the British people be given the final say through a General Election? Join Jon Gaunt as we debate whether changing the captain can save the ship—or whether Britain needs a completely new course. Do you think Starmer is finished? Would Andy Burnham be any better? Or is it time for a General Election? Get involved in the live chat and have your say.

Do you feel sorry for STARMER? The drowning, deluded loser! #JonGaunt #Starmer #UKPolitics #NetZero #ArmedForces #TroopingTheColour #NationalSecurity #TwoTierBritain #LionsLedByDonkeys Is Keir Starmer becoming a tragic figure, or is he just a tragicomic clown? Today, we dive into the fallout from his latest statement—clinging to office while claiming he won't leave the UK in chaos. The irony? Many would argue the chaos is already here, and he's the one at the helm. In this live show, we're talking about the "lions led by donkeys." We all saw the incredible pride of our armed forces at Trooping the Colour today, yet we face the hard reality: our real defence forces are being hollowed out. How can we justify committing billions to Net Zero while we can't adequately fund the men and women who keep us safe? It's time for a reality check. Is Starmer truly deluded, or is there a more calculated "controlled demolition" of our national interests at play? JOIN THE CONVERSATION TODAY. Is Starmer a "tragicomic clown" or a genuine threat to national security? Should we be prioritising Net Zero over our armed forces? "Lions led by donkeys"—is this the most accurate description of modern Britain? What do you think? Leave a comment below or join the live chat.

Starmer's Belfast Blame Game: Why Elite Fear TRUTH About Immigration? #JonGaunt #Starmer #BelfastRiots #Immigration #Farage #TwoTierBritain #ECHR #UKPolitics #JohnHealey The streets of Belfast are on fire, and the political class is hiding behind a smokescreen. Why is Keir Starmer more interested in policing Elon Musk's and Nigel Farage's language than addressing the massive elephant in the room: unvetted mass immigration and the total breakdown of our borders? In today's show, Jon Gaunt exposes the staggering disconnect between the Westminster elite and the real people of this country. While the "Establishment" obsesses over "tone" and "narrative," they are ignoring the root causes of the riots and the legitimate concerns of patriots who feel like strangers in their own land. Is this the definition of a "Two-Tier" Britain? Why are the concerns of the native population labeled "far-right" while the causes of unrest are swept under the rug? How the political class uses Farage as a tactical distraction to avoid their own failures. The truth about the Belfast riots that the BBC and Sky News won't tell you. The "House of Rot" in Westminster has abandoned the working class. It's time for a factory reset. Have your say! Are Starmer and the political class totally out of touch, or is this a deliberate attempt to silence dissent?

Well, folks, it's been a week of delayed recordings and riveting exchanges. This week, Lesley and Fraser weigh in on a fair old rammy at Holyrood regarding the SNP, plus the deeply troubling scenes playing out on the streets of Belfast and beyond. From a Scottish Parliamentary debate that saw the Green amendment triumph, to the surprising political unity across the water in Northern Ireland, we try to make sense of a highly charged political landscape. In this episode, we discuss:The Peter Murrell Scandal & Holyrood's Response: We unpack the recent debate on whether there should be a Scottish Parliamentary inquiry into the SNP's financial scandal. Fraser argues Holyrood has ducked out of the thornier issues regarding the separation of powers and the Crown Office, leaving the door wide open for Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee to step in. Lesley, however, reckons an independent inquiry—sparked by the successful Green amendment—is actually the better move, meaning politicians won't just be marking their own homework.A Question of Competence: Does the Scottish Parliament even have the legislative authority to investigate political parties, or is that strictly reserved to Westminster under the Scotland Act? We get into the weeds of who actually holds the power to scrutinise party registration and funding.The Future of Independence Funds: With Peter Murrell reportedly offering to voluntarily repay embezzled funds, we ask what should happen to that money. Fraser suggests a new, democratic independence vehicle should be established to take the ring-fenced crowdfunder cash, rather than simply returning it to the SNP's coffers.Far-Right Riots and The Belfast Response: We turn to the appalling, racist violence in Belfast and across the UK, fueled by outside agitators and Nigel Farage's "pure cold fury" remarks. Yet amidst the nightmare, there is a surprisingly upbeat takeaway: the refreshingly robust, united front from Northern Irish politicians across the divide. From the SDLP to the Democratic Unionists, local leaders have explicitly repudiated the racism and told the armchair warriors exactly where to go. ★ Support this podcast ★
BELFAST HORROR: Will Starmer Finally Act? State Of Emergency NOW? #JonGauntTV #Live #Starmer #BelfastAttack #IllegalImmigration #BorderSecurity #StateOfEmergency #UKPolitics A man believed to be Sudanese has been arrested after the horrific knife attack in Belfast which has left a man fighting for his life. The shocking incident has reignited the debate over immigration, border security and public safety. As MPs demand answers and call for tougher action, is this the moment Sir Keir Starmer is forced to change course? Today Jon Gaunt asks: • Has immigration become the biggest issue facing Britain? • Should the Government reveal the suspect's immigration status? • Is it time for emergency measures to protect our borders? • Has public confidence finally run out? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #Starmer #Belfast #BelfastAttack #Immigration #IllegalImmigration #BorderSecurity #StateOfEmergency #UKNews #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #ReformUK #Migration #Crime #Politics #CurrentAffairs #BreakingNews #LiveDebate #Britain Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, Live, Keir Starmer, Starmer, Belfast, Belfast Attack, Immigration, Illegal Immigration, Border Security, State Of Emergency, UK News, UK Politics, Nigel Farage, Reform UK, Migration, Crime, Politics, Current Affairs, Breaking News, Live Debate, Britain 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.

Should I stay or go now? Is it time to give up on Blighty? #JonGaunt #BrokenBritain #IllegalMigration #UKPolitics #Blighty #SmallBoats #UKCrime #CostOfLiving The sentiment on Jon Gaunt TV has never been clearer: people are fed up. But is it time to give up on Britain entirely? Tonight we're having the conversation everyone else is too afraid to have. I've seen your comments—you're telling me the country is "broken," "lost," and that the social contract has been shredded. From the "Two-Tier" policing and the disaster at our borders to the feeling that our identity is being erased, the frustration is at boiling point. Tonight, we're asking the big questions: The "Fed Up" Factor: What was the final straw for you? Is it the NHS, the cost of living, or the political betrayal of Brexit? What Would You Miss? Is there anything left of the "Original" British spirit worth staying for, or has the "once proud G.B." been destroyed for good? The Grass is Greener? We're looking at the reality of moving abroad. One viewer says they'd leave tomorrow for £40k to start a business in Thailand—is he right? Is life actually better as an expat, or are you just swapping one set of problems for another? This is an interactive show. I want to hear from those of you who have already left, those with a one-way ticket booked, and those who are staying to "Reset" this nation.

STARMER is shutting down FREE SPEECH. Attacking FARAGE and ELON MUSK #JonGaunt #Elon Musk #NigelFarage #FreeSpeech #Two-Tier #HenryNowak Starmer is using the tragic murder of Henry Nowak to try and curtail all of our free speech and he must be stopped. In this emergency live show, Jon Gaunt will argue that Starmer is doing exactly what he accuses everyone else of doing; using Henry's death to stoke division and unrest. There is an urgent need for a public debate around two tier policing and justice in the UK. Starmer is deluded or simply lying when he says that it doesn't exist. We must be allowed to debate it. Did he learn nothing from the tragic events of Southport where he left a power and information vacuum which was filled by riots ad civil unrest. He doesn't want to debate it because he was one of the architects of woke policing or is that unfair? Have your say whilst we still have FREE SPEECH in the UK!

Are the Establishment AFRAID of FARAGE? Is he more in touch than STARMER? #JonGaunt #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #TwoTierBritain #FreeSpeech #Establishment #UKPolitics #LiveDebate Nigel Farage has just confirmed what we've all been thinking: The Establishment is terrified. Following the disgraceful attack on him yesterday, Farage has made it clear—they are coming for him because they can't handle the truth he speaks. While Keir Starmer remains in his high-walled "elite" bubble, Nigel Farage is out on the streets, speaking to the people and exposing the "two-tier" reality of modern Britain. Is the physical and political targeting of Farage a sign of a desperate government losing its grip on the public? We're going LIVE to ask the big questions: Why is the political establishment so afraid of one man? Is Farage the only leader who actually understands the frustrations of the white working class? Are the attacks on Nigel—and the elite's obsession with silencing Elon Musk—part of a wider plan to kill off Free Speech? Has "Two-Tier Keir" officially lost the country to a man who actually listens? The "House of Elites" is shaking. They want to shut down the debate, but on Jon Gaunt TV, we are turning the volume up. Join the conversation. This is the debate they don't want you to have. #JonGaunt #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #TwoTierBritain #FreeSpeech #Establishment #UKPolitics #LiveDebate Jon Gaunt, JonGauntTV, Live, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, The Establishment, Two-Tier Britain, Out of Touch Elite, Free Speech, UK Politics, Reform UK, Political Debate, Two-Tier Policing, British Working Class, Henry Nowak, UK News Today #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #Establishment #TwoTierBritain #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics #ReformUK #TwoTierPolicing #HenryNowak #UKNews #BritishPolitics #outoftouch 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.

IS HOUSE OF COMMONS NOW THE HOUSE OF OUT OF TOUCH ELITE? #JonGaunt #HouseOfCommons #TwoTierBritain #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #HenryNowack #FreeSpeech #LiveDebate Are we witnessing the total collapse of the relationship between the British people and the House of Commons? Today, we dive into the stark contrast between the political reaction to the tragic murder of Henry Nowack and the response to the killing of George Floyd. While the riots are wrong and must be condemned, we need to have an urgent, honest discussion about the perception of two-tier policing in the UK. Why did the collective anger of the political establishment, led by Keir Starmer, turn so quickly toward Nigel Farage for using the word "Rage"? Is the establishment trying to shut down a debate that needs to happen? In this live stream, we ask: Are the frustrations of the white working class being ignored yet again? Is the House of Commons completely out of touch with the reality on our streets? Is "Rage" a word politicians are using to hide behind, rather than addressing the root causes of national anger? It's time for a debate about this rage, not a closing down of the discussion. We must respect the family's wishes while also addressing the very real political and social fractures this has exposed.

Well, it seems the big men being laid low is the theme of the moment. Lesley and Fraser are back to discuss a busy week. Lesley has been in all parts, taking in the incredible Orkney Folk Festival and witnessing the seamless infrastructure of the Netherlands, before returning to the rather less seamless Edinburgh Airport. Back in Scotland, the Peter Murrell narrative has been laid out, leaving many in the Yes movement feeling directionless. We look at the abject failure of governance within the SNP. Plus, a look down South at the latest Mandelson revalations.In this episode, we discuss:Orkney and the Netherlands: Lesley reflects on a week of incredible, volunteer-led musicianship at the Orkney Folk Festival. We also compare the well-maintained, cycle-friendly infrastructure of the Netherlands with the sad state of Edinburgh Airport's rolled-up corrugated paper door wedges.Operation Hingaboot Mark II: A large crowd gathered outside Holyrood for the Section 30 request vote. We discuss the ongoing disconnect between the SNP corporate leadership and the grassroots Yes movementPeter Murrell and SNP Governance: Following Peter Murrell's guilty plea, we unpack the agreed narrative of financial mismanagement. We examine the culture of deference that allowed £12,500 of Apple products and a £3,500 silver wine coaster to be coded without curiosity, and how those who tried to raise concerns—like the "Good Guys" slate on the NEC and members of the Finance and Audit Committee—were sidelined and frustrated.Labour's Leaks and Leadership: The latest document dump reveals damning WhatsApp connections between Peter Mandelson and Pat McFadden, who seems to lament the idea of taxing to pay benefits. With Keir Starmer's slow-moving demise, Andy Burnham's by-election date set, and Tony Blair wading into the policy debate, Labour is looking increasingly rudderless.Education and NEETs: Reflecting on Alan Milburn's report on young people not in employment, education, or training. We compare the UK's approach to the Dutch system's high engagement in vocational education and the need for a shift away from traditional, purely academic routes.LinksHighland Clearances; communities fight back - CrowdfunderClearance site event at Rosal on June 12th-14th June ★ Support this podcast ★If you're enjoying the podcast, you can become a pal or a buddy to help keep the pod going by heading to leslieriddock.com/podcast and following the links to subscribe. ★ Support this podcast ★
While Westminster looks inward, the world is moving fast. Keir Starmer's government needs to focus on the urgent changes affecting all of our lives.Tom McTague joins Anoosh Chakelian to discuss his latest essay for the New Statesman, and answer listeners questions. This week, listeners ask: "Why have British politicians been so useless for the past 20 years?" and "is it finally time for voting reform?"LISTEN AD-FREE:
The latest batch of files relating to Peter Mandelson's appointment to be released is reflecting poorly on the UK's Labour Party. More than 1,500 pages of messages, emails, and other correspondence was released, and among them was criticism of Sir Keir Starmer by both Mandelson and other ministers. In May 2025, Mandelson told Minister Pat McFadden that Starmer “lacks verve”, and the same month, cabinet minister Pat McFadden criticised government policy on public spending and welfare, saying “every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others." UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the files are uniquely embarrassing to the Labour Party. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
24 DAYS to save UK. Or get 3 more years of STARMER OR WORSE! #JonGauntTV #GeneralElectionNow #StarmerMustGo #TwoTierPolicing #ReformUK #RestoreBritain #UKPolitics #LiveDebate Is Britain on the brink? We have just 24 days to save this country from three more years of a Starmer government—or something even worse. Despite the endless U-turns, blatant lies, and calculated cover-ups, Keir Starmer remains in charge, dragging us closer to the EU and ignoring the issues that actually matter to the working class. Tonight, Jon Gaunt goes LIVE to tackle the hard truths the mainstream media won't touch: The Migration Crisis: Why are our borders still open while our concerns are ignored? Two-Tier Policing: From the Henry Nowak verdict to the streets, why does justice feel like it's only for some? Crime & Cancel Culture: The "cancer" eating away at our national identity. The Battle for the Right: Why are Farage and Lowe fighting each other instead of the real enemy? Starmer is clinging to power, and if Andy Burnham wins, the working class loses. But if he loses and Starmer stays, we still lose. It's time for the Right to put egos aside, thrash Burnham, and demand a General Election NOW. JOIN THE CONVERSATION: I want to hear YOUR views.

BRITAIN'S GEORGE FLOYD MOMENT? The Nowak Verdict & Two-Tier Justice #HenryNowak #TwoTierPolicing #JonGaunt #CommonSense #JusticeForHenry #UKPolitics "Justice must be blind—but in modern Britain, it feels like the authorities have their eyes wide shut. Tonight, I'm reacting LIVE to the verdict in the tragic case of 18-year-old Henry Nowak. This is the moment where 'woke' policing and political correctness finally hit a breaking point. While a young man lay dying on the floor, it appears the police on the scene chose to believe the attacker over the victim. Why? If the roles were reversed, we know exactly what the reaction would be. Keir Starmer would be front and centre on our TV screens. So why the silence now? I'm asking the tough questions: Why isn't this being treated as Britain's George Floyd moment? When did 'common sense' leave the building at Scotland Yard? Why aren't senior cops and politicians being held to account for this failure? Justice without fear or favour is the bedrock of our society, but right now, it feels like we have a two-tier system that is failing the very people it's supposed to protect. It's time to stop the hand-wringing and start demanding answers. Join the conversation and tell me what YOU think.

DO RACHEL REEVES AND KEIR STARMER DESERVE TO BE HECKLED? #RachelReeves #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #CommonSense #LaborHypocrisy #GeneralElectionNow #BritishValues Rachel Reeves got a reality check today! A "white van man" heckled the Chancellor at a petrol station, and now the political class is in a total meltdown. The pearl-clutching commentators are out in force, whining about "civility" and "manners" in UK politics. Rachel even had the patronising cheek to say that the man heckling her "wasn't a very British thing to do!" Really, Rach? Since when did you become the arbiter of what is or isn't British? I'd say standing up to a hypocrite and speaking your mind is about as British as it gets! I'll tell you what manners are, Rach! Manners are NOT lying on your CV. Manners are NOT lying in your manifesto. And manners are certainly NOT ripping off pensioners' fuel allowances while you sit smugly in Whitehall! If these hypocrites want to talk about manners, let's start with the basic decency of telling the truth to the British public. They want us to stay quiet while they dismantle the country? I don't think so. It's time to test this "stinking smug hypocrisy" with a General Election! HAVE YOUR SAY: Is heckling a legitimate form of protest when politicians stop listening? Or have we lost our way? I'll be reading your comments and reactions throughout the show—get stuck in!

WHERE'S STARMER? WHO IS RUNNING THE UK NOW! WHERE'S WES?! #Starmer #WesStreeting #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #JonGauntTV #LabourCrisis Keir Starmer was always useless, but now we have descended into total chaos and a dangerous power vacuum. The wheels haven't just come off; the driver has vanished! Wes Streeting has finally walked, resigning with a scathing, no-holds-barred slagging of Starmer's leadership. But here is the kicker: he hasn't launched a leadership campaign yet. Is he waiting for the body to stop twitching, or is the Labour party in such a mess that nobody wants the top job? Meanwhile, Starmer is barricaded in Downing Street, stubbornly refusing to stand down despite the country screaming for change. This absolute nonsense cannot continue for another day. It is time to stop the games, stop the coronations, and stop the "squatting." We need to cut to the chase: We need a General Election NOW!

In the wake of last week's devolved and local elections, Keir Starmer is once again fighting for his political future. Labour has almost completely vanished in Wales, came a distant second in Scotland (tied with Reform UK), and lost nearly 1500 councillors in England. But while Plaid Cymru and the SNP were victorious in Wales and Scotland, in many ways the results in England were a disappointment for everybody, with no party making the breakthroughs they hoped for and the Conservatives pushed to the fringes. James is joined by Richard King, Rory Scothorne and Andy Beckett to makes sense of this new political map and consider what the collapse of old party loyalties and the rise of nationalist politics means across all three countries.

Regarding Ukraine, he suggests they are achieving a qualified victory by holding the line, though long-term survival is threatened by manpower and funding shortages. 21905 DELONGPRE MANSE
