Reform UK has received two mega cash injections, which it believes will put it in prime position to effectively fight in a general election. This news has caused furrowed eyebrows in the Labour Party, with a question over whether legislation will be brought in to cap donations and applied retrospectively. Some are saying this would be an attempt to take Reform UK out of the race, and the equivalent of hysterical hypocrisy, considering Labour receives donations from Trade Unions with the expectation of something in return. Talk presenter Ian Collins speaks to: Former Conservative special advisor Charlie Rowley, chairman of the Great British PAC Ben Habib, shadow secretary of state for defence James Cartlidge, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice, and social policy analyst Dr Rakib Ehsan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeremy Kyle unpacks the latest with energy in the UK. Absolute, unadulterated madness. One minute Labour approves a North Sea gas site—a rare, brief outbreak of actual common sense. Donald Trump himself comes out and says, "Look at that, drill full blast, get on with it!" Brilliant, right? Energy independence, lower bills, proper jobs. But no! Within hours, the Energy Secretary signals she’s going to block a massive, crucial oilfield right next door. I mean, are you joking?! Are we trying to power this country or bankrupt it?
This morning on the Jeremy Kyle Breakfast Show unpacks the decision that Labour had made to come to their senses! New drilling for gas in the North Sea is set to be approved today after energy prices spiked to a brutal four-year high. Miatta Fahnbulleh, the Energy Secretary—who, by the way, is currently attacking Shabana Mahmood—is expected to give the green light to the Jackdaw project after months of endless delays.
Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh has launched a blistering attack on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s plan to tighten up immigration! Mahmood wants to make foreign nationals wait up to 15 years instead of five to earn permanent residency but Fahnbulleh, writing to voters in her Peckham constituency, has hit back, warning constituents that delaying settlement risks destroying social cohesion, lacking compassion, and fuelling "toxic" political rhetoric.
