  • Weak fascist Propaganda

    I like to think I have an open mind but this woman is awful. Such lightweight, knee-jerk reactionary nonsense! It’s like an audio version of The Sun! Terrible!

    Maybe when Mr. Julia Hartley-Brewer learns that his pronouns do matter and shows respect, he might enjoy a better review.

    Julia is a great presenter and her ability to trigger the far-left is wonderful.

  • Racist, biased, rude

    Quite possibly the worst presenter ever, not even subtle in her racism. And plays the victim card when her guests answers do not suit her narrative.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Starmer's Defence Sham — and the £5 billion black hole he's leaving behind for Andy Burnham
Q: What are the implications if defence funding remains insufficient under a potential Burnham administration?
If funding remains insufficient, the UK risks being under-defended, with allies watching and potential strategic gaps, particularly in areas like ammunition stockpiles and readiness for modern threats, including cyber and space domains.
Starmer's Defence Sham — and the £5 billion black hole he's leaving behind for Andy Burnham
Q: What is your assessment of the Defence Investment Plan and the so-called uplift to defence spending?
The plan amounts to smoke and mirrors, with a notional 15 billion uplift that is not fully real money and a significant portion unaccounted for, leaving a budgetary hole for future leaders to manage rather than providing the defence capability the country needs.
Burnham’s coronation without scrutiny, Farage donor storm and Britain’s defence disaster
Q: Can we talk about Reform UK and the fundraising disclosures surrounding Nigel Farage?
The host probes donor transparency and potential conflicts, with the guest offering a journalistically analytical view that the stories are not helping Farage or reform, while stressing the need for openness and compliance with rules.
Burnham’s coronation without scrutiny, Farage donor storm and Britain’s defence disaster
Q: Thank you for joining us. First off, did you watch the match last night or this morning?
We discuss the football match briefly as a social cue, then pivot to political topics, noting how public sentiment around national events can influence political dynamics.
Anne Widdecombe Death: Do MPs need better security?
Q: How much security should MPs and politicians get and who should pay for it?
The discussion centers on extending security broadly across politicians and considering taxpayer funding, with recognition that the cost and scope should be debated openly.
