    All you need to know about this specimen is that he went into bat for child abusers Jimmy Saville and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. IMHO he is a vile misogynist and more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

‘The globalists have failed Britain’ | Laila Cunningham
Q: What's your vision for London under Reform?
A city where housing is affordable, policing is effective, and growth is driven by empowering people and small businesses, not by endless regulation or shifting blame onto migrants or identity politics.
‘The globalists have failed Britain’ | Laila Cunningham
Q: How should Britain address immigration and security according to Reform's stance?
Britain should implement controlled, countries-based immigration to benefit the country, strengthen public safety, and ensure resources are directed to ordinary Britons, rather than pursuing open-border ideologies.
‘The globalists have failed Britain’ | Laila Cunningham
Q: What did you make of the local election results and what do they say about the national mood?
The results show working-class voters feel ignored by both major parties and are seeking policies that prioritize local renewal, housing, and national sovereignty over globalist narratives.
‘The Greens are lunatic, deranged and evil’ | Melanie Phillips
Q: How should listeners respond to anti-Zionist libels and antisemitism in public life?
She suggests rejecting false dichotomies between anti-Zionism and anti-Judaism, emphasizes educating the public, and urges people to be brave, form supportive networks, and push back against falsehoods with facts.
‘The Greens are lunatic, deranged and evil’ | Melanie Phillips
Q: What is your assessment of the Green Party and its stance on anti-Semitism and Islamism?
Phillips argues the party is entangled with an Islamo-left alliance and is associated with anti-Semitic expressions; she contends it is moving toward mainstream political power, which she sees as dangerous and delusive.
