  • Morning Glory indeed

    Mike’s show is the best for confronting corrupt politicians and parties; he scares them so much, they do not want to appear on the chair opposite him. No one is safe from Mike’s sledgehammer type of interview which is refreshing; even Lords are not protected by their titles. Must listen or watch it on YouTube for the total experience.

Where Does Your Foreign Aid Really Go?
Q: Do you think this country is broken? Can it turn a corner?
The guest answers affirm that optimism exists in the British people and that leadership and policy focus on real outcomes can steer the country toward stability, stressing the need for detailed work over flashy headlines.
'Cost In Blood': Ex-NATO Chief Warns Starmer
Q: What do you think about the current defense spending trajectory and its impact on national security?
Panelists argue that defense spending has been mismanaged, with calls to increase investment and move certain costs (like the nuclear deterrent) out of the defense budget to protect other essential equipment.
Nowak Body Cam Footage Released & Taxes For Benefits
Q: What are your initial reflections on the Henry Nowak case and the body-worn footage?
The hosts and guests express profound concern about the police response, questioning whether life preservation and rapid medical aid were adequately prioritized, while acknowledging the pain of Nowak's family.
What Are You Giving Up?
Q: What happens if Andy Burnham joins Westminster to challenge Starmer?
There is speculation that Burnham could enter Westminster, triggering internal party debates and potential by-elections; Starmer may resist, leading to a leadership contest if pressures mount.
Will Starmer stand firm if he has serious competition?
Q: What would be the consequence if Starmer were replaced or faced a leadership challenge?
The discussion frames Starmer as a determined, resilient leader who would fight any leadership contest and remain in power, implying that a leadership change could destabilize Labour but also reshape the political landscape depending on who succeeds.
