Piddington Asylum Centre APPROVED

Nov 13, 2026 1 hr 27 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks Angela Rayner’s latest decision that has sparked fury by approving plans to house 1,200 migrants next to an Oxfordshire village. The Housing & Communities Secretary gave the green light despite the residents of Piddington holding their own referendum opposing the scheme. Rayner admitted public services and ‘community cohesion’ will be damaged, but said this is outweighed by the need for the accommodation. So she admits it will impact community cohesion. Fearful women in the area have resorted to self-defence lessons ahead of the influx of asylum seekers. This is the same Government who are so quick to look at protecting women working in the media from creeps like Russell Brand but will leave women in villages like Piddington to protect themselves. Staggering cost of Burnham's EU reset: We'll be forced to adopt a new Brussels directive every 12 hours - A report by a parliamentary committee warns the Prime Minister's plan to sign up to EU rules on food and farming will lead to an avalanche of new Brussels regulations in the UK. The committee found that the deal – which is due to be signed off by Mr Burnham next week – is likely to require the UK to adopt 'at least 780 pieces of EU law' each year.

Cameron's EU Intervention

Nov 12, 2026 1 hr 33 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Former PM Lord David Cameron has warned Andy Burnham against attempting to rejoin the EU, saying it would trigger a divisive "decade-long debate". Speaking ten years after the Brexit vote, Cameron urged the UK to respect the 2016 referendum and act as the bloc's "best friend, neighbour and partner" instead. His remarks follow Burnham’s recent comments that Brexit caused more harm than good and that EU re-entry remains on the table. Andy Burnham has revealed that the government’s 10-year plan will emerge by mid-December but MPs but senior Labour figures have dismissed the "Manchesterism" blueprint as high-level spin lacking real policy detail. MPs noted that the recent Budget sidestepped major defence and welfare decisions. Critics argue Number 10 has yet to outline concrete governing plans despite Burnham's pledges to end neoliberalism and devolve power to regional hubs. Under welfare reforms tied to Alan Milburn’s review published next week, 18- to 21-year-olds could lose the £420-a-month Universal Credit health element to curb benefit dependency. However, Milburn's wider plan to tackle nearly one million young Neets—featuring guaranteed 45-day work placements and relaxed English and maths rules—could cost over £6 billion annually. Campaigners and opposition figures have condemned the government for failing to systematically record ethnicity and nationality data on grooming gang offenders. Despite accepting Baroness Casey’s audit recommendations and launching a statutory inquiry under Baroness Anne Longfield in April 2026, authorities face criticism for obscuring the scale of exploitation.

Walliams vs The Press

Nov 11, 2026 1 hr 38 min

Comedian and actor David Walliams has lost his bid to stop the media from identifying him at the centre of sexual abuse allegations. Though these are still very much just allegations, we need to discuss injunctions and their use by public figures. Judges have to balance freedom of speech with the right to privacy. Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Deputy chairman of the Conservative Party Matt Vickers, partner and lawyer at Burdon Kemp Alan Collins, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, commentator at The Mail on Sunday Dan Hodges, head of features at The Sun Colin Robertson, and media lawyer Jonathan Coad.

Brand The Predator

Nov 10, 2026 1 hr 41 min

This morning the discussion with Jeremy Kyle started with the news that Russell Brand is being investigated over new abuse claims, it can now be revealed after the ‘sexual predator’ was jailed for more than ten years yesterday. Police have received 'multiple reports' of sexual abuse since 51-year-old Brand was convicted of raping one woman and assaulting three others. Sentencing him at Southwark Crown Court, Mr Justice Bennathan condemned Brand’s “staggering arrogance”. Brand's father Ron insists his son is innocent, saying the ten-year rape sentence is 'unfair' and claims victims 'chased and harassed' the actor. He called the jury ‘corrupt'. It comes as his ex-partner Jemima Goldsmith says she was abused by Brand revealing she even called the police after a ‘violent incident’. Meanwhile another celebrity accused of sex abuse could be named after he appears to miss the deadline yesterday for appealing an injunction decision. Watch this space. Happening today….Around 650 more offenders will leave jails in England and Wales on Tuesday in the third phase of the government's plan to end the prison population crisis. Sarah Pochin for Reform will be outside Wandsworth Prison. The group will include offenders serving up to three years and two months for their crimes. Under the new rules, they are leaving jail after serving no more than a third of their sentence behind bars, rather than a half. At least 1,350 offenders have left jail early since 1 October under the first two waves of the scheme. Back to domestic politics now and according to another new poll, Britons continue to believe Burnham would make a better PM. This includes a margin of 40% to 28% against Kemi Badenoch and 50% to 22% against Nigel Farage. Meanwhile The YouGov survey also revealed that more than one in five Reform supporters (22 per cent) think the Conservative leader would do a better job in No 10 than Farage. Andy Burnham's EU reset has failed his own 'Makerfield test', with voters saying they w...

Nandy Accused Of Politicising Reembrace

Nov 9, 2026 1 hr 47 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks the latest that comedian and actor Russell Brand faces a substantial prison sentence after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court. It follows a four-week trial involving allegations from multiple complainants dating back between 1999 and 2009. Some legal experts say he could face up to ten years in prison. Brand was remanded into custody ahead of formal sentencing which takes place from 1030 this morning. Stay Tuned to TALK for the very latest. The Times reports that Broadcasters could be forced to adopt new safeguards against sexual abuse, the culture secretary said on Sunday, as it was revealed that BBC staff banned Russell Brand from its Los Angeles offices four years before allegations about his crimes came to light. A woman alleged that he had exposed himself to her while recording a Radio 2 programme in 2008. He subsequently laughed about the incident during a broadcast. Lisa Nandy said that offending like Brand’s “is probably happening today” in the entertainment industry. The Sun reports Russell Brand secretly moved nearly £9million from one of his firms — which may stop money going to his victims if they sue him. Brand began diluting his vast wealth prior to standing trial for rape, despite always protesting his innocence. Meanwhile Brand’s family are said to be deeply concerned for his wife and fear the disgraced comedian “totally brainwashed” her into believing he is innocent. Besotted Laura Gallacher is said to remain fiercely loyal to her sicko husband – despite him being convicted of rape and three sexual assaults. Sources close to his former wife, pop star Katy Perry, indicate she is preparing to detail the reality of their 14-month marriage in an upcoming book and documentary series. Lisa Nandy has been labelled a hypocrite after she was accused of politicising Remembrance Sunday. The Culture Secretary was reacting to veterans and opposition parties who had condemned he...

Rapist Brand Banged Up

Nov 6, 2026 1 hr 33 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks the new that Russell Brand has been convicted of rape and sexual assault, and is now expected to face a substantial prison sentence. A jury found the entertainer guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, following a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court in London. He was found not guilty of two other counts of rape, and one count of attempted indecent assault. Brand was refused bail and will spend the weekend in custody before he is due to return to the same court on Monday for sentencing. He could also face new rape charges within weeks after he was convicted on Thursday of attacks on four women. It’s been revealed that the Crown Prosecution Service is considering bringing further charges after he was accused of two more rapes, including that of a 16-year-old girl. His conviction has piled fresh pressure on the BBC over its failure to control its stars after it emerged Brand had boasted that his boss at the broadcaster was “incredibly tolerant” of his sexual behaviour. Meanwhile, Henry Nowak’s murderer Vickrum Digwa will spend at least 25 years behind bars after his original sentence of 21 years was ruled “unduly lenient”. Digwa had his sentence increased by four years after the Court of Appeal heard that he abused the Sikh privilege of carrying a knife. Digwa, who is Sikh, lied to police after the stabbing, claiming his victim had made racial slurs and physically assaulted him. Channel migrants have become a defining battleground in France’s presidential election. Édouard Philippe, Emmanuel Macron’s former prime minister, has threatened to tear up a key border treaty unless Britain agrees to pay more. The Le Touquet agreement allows British and French officers to carry out border checks in each other’s countries, giving British officers the right to operate in Calais and other crossing points.

Bosses Risk Jail Over MAD Trans Law

Nov 5, 2026 1 hr 31 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks the latest with The MAGA movement which has turned on Donald Trump following a crushing Midterm election defeat for the Republicans. His Vice President JD Vance and his own son, Donald Jr, blamed the President's war in Iran for his election loss. Donald Trump is even reportedly considering replacing his War Secretary Pete Hegseth with Ron DeSantis amid growing questions over the handling of the war in Iran. Meanwhile, Darializa Avila Chevalier, 32, a hard left socialist who wants to abolish police, prisons and protect migrant criminals from deportation was elected to the House of Representatives. Back home in Britain…. Bosses risk jail if their staff use the wrong pronouns to address trans people under the Government’s new conversion therapy law, campaigners have warned. The contentious draft Conversion Practices Bill states that company directors and leaders of other organisations can be held liable if one of their employees tries to suppress or change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity, its opponents have said. But standing in for Mr Burnham at PMQs on Wednesday, Louise Haigh, the First Secretary of State, did not say whether Labour would act to tackle the soaring benefits bill. A French presidential candidate ripped into Britain's 'shocking' immigration policies and blamed them for the small boats crisis. Édouard Philippe has vowed he would tear up agreements between Britain and France if the UK didn't change its 'absurd' approach. He said it was “incoherent” for French police to attempt to stop migrants crossing the Channel, while Labour's policies enticed them over - and blamed Britain for the regular deaths of migrants.

US Midterm Special: Six Genders & A Non-Binary God

Nov 4, 2026 1 hr 34 min

Jeremy Kyle discusses a celebrity who has lost his High Court bid to block reporting of sex abuse allegations. The well-known individual made the 'unprecedented' argument that he would kill himself if the claims went public. It is claimed that the man, named only as PPT, 'abused his status' to conduct 'inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities' with 'a large number' of women and girls over a number of years. The celebrity applied for an injunction against ITN and The Guardian newspaper, which said they had interviewed more than 100 people with knowledge of the celebrity's alleged misconduct. Mr Justice Nicklin refused to grant the injunction but ordered that the celebrity should remain anonymous until a later date. The judge said that the risk of the celebrity killing himself was 'genuine, grave and closely connected to the court's decision'. Across the pond, it’s been a terrible night for Donald Trump and the Republicans. The President has lost control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Texas and South Carolina, which have not voted Democrat in decades, were among the deep-red states that fell, along with North Carolina and Ohio. Democrats also successfully defended vulnerable states including New Hampshire. Mr Trump will now be unable to pass legislation, or confirm Supreme Court justices or administration figures without Democratic support. It could make a cabinet reshuffle extremely difficult if the president tries to bring in figures who are not already confirmed. Mr Trump and other administration officials are likely to face investigations and possible impeachment.

Cleavage In The Classroom

Nov 3, 2026 1 hr 33 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has watered down plans for tougher immigration rules after a Labour Party revolt. Almost 300,000 foreign care workers will be exempt from a crackdown that would have seen them wait years longer to win permanent status in Britain. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham is to give £40m to Caribbean projects amid a row about whether Britain should pay reparations for the slave trade. On the first day of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua, the Prime Minister will pledge the money for green energy schemes in the West Indies. He will also set out plans to help poorer Commonwealth members grappling with increased debt costs. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has said an apology for slavery could help Britain strengthen ties with the Commonwealth. In other news, telling someone who identifies as a cat that they are human will be illegal under a damning assessment of Labour’s Conversion Practices Bill. The wording of the bill intended to outlaw conversion therapy against trans and gay people is so “extraordinarily broad”, according to a study, that it would even protect those who call themselves 'catgender'. It comes ahead of the US midterm elections, which will determine whether the Republicans or Democrats control Congress. Trump has been facing falling polling numbers and pressure from within his party to end the war, which began when the US and Israel attacked Iran in February. Earlier on Monday, he told reporters that he was in "no rush" to ramp up strikes on Iran. And "Mogging", a word used playfully to mean outshining, outperforming or upstaging someone or something, has been named as word of the year by the Collins English Dictionary. We’re joined by not one, but two Moggers on the show today! Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

Small Boats, Big Lawsuits

Nov 2, 2026 1 hr 35 min

Jeremy Kyle discusses the latest plans to toughen immigration rules are expected to be massively watered down today after a highly damaging battle within the Labour Party. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's proposals to make low-skilled foreign migrants wait far longer for 'settled' status in Britain have been rewritten after strong opposition from her party's left wing. Under the proposals, skilled workers would typically have to wait 10 years rather than the current five, but the lowest-paid workers, including care workers, would have to wait 15. The Home Secretary is now believed to be considering plans to treat care workers more like skilled workers, including doctors, who can “earn” reductions to their ILR wait by working in the public sector. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham is open to increasing financial assistance, i.e. reparations for Commonwealth countries, to help make amends for Britain’s role in the slave trade. The PM will consider demands for investment in healthcare and education from African and Caribbean countries. Commonwealth leaders said Mr Burnham had made an “essential first step” towards a reparations deal, after he said he was open to making a formal apology for slavery. Labour minister Emma Reynolds has been criticised for suggesting that employers are not “working people”. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, when questioned about those hit by Labour’s economic policies, said she doesn’t think “employers are working people”. Chancellor John Healey has promised the benefits bill “will come down under Labour” and signalled more “hard decisions” on cuts to public spending, but he has FAILED to say when! Do you believe him?

Banter Ban

Oct 30, 2026 1 hr 32 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as John Healey admitted last night he would not cut welfare before the next election. The Chancellor started the day by insisting handouts would be whittled down this parliamentary term. Britain’s annual welfare bill is on course to hit £431billion by 2031 — In the Budget on Wednesday Mr Healey said “There will be a reduction in the benefits bill. We’ll do that in a Labour way”. Treasury sources scrambled to downplay his commitment and suggested he had not made a firm pledge. At lunchtime yesterday No10 said the Government will not be setting an “arbitrary target or timetable” on reducing the welfare bill. This forced John Healey to completely U-turn last night by telling Channel 4: “It’s not correct to say that we are going to bring this welfare bill down in this Parliament because we’ve not set a timetable for that.” And now Andy Burnham now says he wants to make welfare cuts “as soon as possible” but refused to put a date on the promise. What a shambles! Treasury sources scrambled to downplay his commitment and suggested he had not made a firm pledge. The Banter ban comes into force today - Companies will be told to act like the fun police and monitor work parties and boozy get togethers. Ryaner’s Employment Rights act means businesses will be liable for offensive comments and behaviour of customers. Remarks relating to age, disability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation and gender reassignment could be used to take businesses to employment tribunals. Meanwhile a full-blown Labour civil war over Brexit is emerging, pushing to drag us back into the EU while John Healey tells Burnham him in no uncertain terms to pipe down. Scotland Yard is in the mire yet again—the Met has referred itself to the police watchdog over a bizarre "lost" letter sent to Meghan Markle regarding abuse allegations, after reportedly snubbing key witnesses. And over at Buckingham Palace, the King’s poll numbers have taken a four-point tumble following Earl Spenc...

Budget 2026: Burnham's Big Test

Oct 28, 2026 1 hr 58 min

This morning with Jeremy Kyle it’s Budget Day - the first major test for Andy Burnham and John Healey. It’s reported that the Chancellor will swerve welfare reform in today's Budget – as he hands out billions of pounds more to benefit claimants. The Chancellor is said to be planning a 'steady-as-she-goes' Budget with some key measures to provide 'breathing space' to hard-pressed Britons. But Labour sources have told the Mail that the Chancellor has set aside £5.5billion to support a 3.5 per cent increase to benefits paid to ten million people despite official projections suggesting sickness benefits will jump from £83billion last year to £109billion by the end of the decade. He is also expected to earmark at least another £1billion to subsidise the fuel bills of those on benefits and low incomes this winter. But any immediate support for those not on benefits is expected to be modest, such as freezing NHS prescription charges at £9.90. Mr Healey was accused of an 'insult to families' yesterday after the Treasury revealed measures will include tariff reductions worth just 40p a week off average grocery bills. It seems as though this is a budget that will see us through until a General Election…What do you think? And a FIRST for TALK - Zack Polanski and Jeremy Corbyn speak to Talk’s very own Charlie Rowley.

Burnham's 100 Days

Oct 27, 2026 1 hr 33 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks Andy Burnham's first 100 days in No.10 Downing Street and while a fresh YouGov poll gives him a solid 46% approval rating—well ahead of what his recent predecessors managed at this stage—the real honeymoon test arrives tomorrow. Chancellor John Healey steps up to deliver his first major Budget. That said, Number 10 is already spending the morning on the back foot. Downing Street aides have been scrambling to walk back comments made by the Prime Minister on free movement, following reports that the UK has been holding talks with Brussels. It’s Burnham’s latest awkward blunder, coming just a couple of weeks after a climbdown over Russian interference in the Brexit vote. Meanwhile, Reform UK has been pitching its own answer to the nation's finances, promising £80 billion in savings by 2030 in what they’re calling their "Teal Budget." But the launch didn't quite go to plan. Nigel Farage admitted the party needs to win back ground after a rough summer, bluntly blaming his own staff's "incompetence" for leaving him to unveil the package to a half-empty room. Back in Whitehall, Labour is defending itself against serious claims that it cooked the books on defence spending figures, sparking calls for an official inquiry. Making matters worse for the Ministry of Defence, questions are being asked over how a cash-strapped department managed to find £3 million to fund 50 diversity officers instead of putting that money toward frontline troops. Turning back to tomorrow’s Budget, the mood across the country has clearly shifted. Almost half of you now say you’d rather see tax cuts than higher public spending, with the squeezed middle feeling the pinch. Chancellor Healey has already told his Cabinet to find departmental cuts to weather an impending "economic storm," while anger is mounting over mooted tax changes that could leave retirees with private pensions paying an extra £200. Over at New Scotland Yard, the Met is facing severe embarrassment over how it ha...

Labour Open To Freedom Of Movement

Oct 26, 2026 1 hr 36 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces accusations of a "total betrayal" of the Brexit result after Angela Rayner says the British public could be asked to vote on whether to bring back freedom of movement with the European Union. Nigel Farage warned that any return to free movement ignores working-class communities. Supporters say that any deals with our biggest trading partner are vital to fix the economy. The Duchess of Sussex’s estranged father told his first wife he went to the Far East “because 12-year-olds are legal there”, The Sun can reveal. Roslyn Loveless made the claim about Thomas Markle in a letter she sent to the Met Police in 2019. Thomas Markle, who is now 82, denies the claims. The Met admitted over the weekend that it had not referred matters raised in the letter to relevant legal authorities abroad who could have investigated. Wes Streeting has warned Britain must be ready for war in little more than 1,000 days as Russia steps up its threats against NATO allies. The Defence Secretary cautioned that the UK's enemies could be 'in a position to attack' by 2030 as he urged the country to 'prepare for the worst'. The chilling message came ahead of Wednesday's Budget, at which Chancellor John Healey will reportedly unveil billions of pounds on new defence spending. Meanwhile, Zack Polanski’s Green Party has been branded “racist” by the Board of Deputies of British Jews. The party was condemned after they passed the “Zionism is racism” policy motion at its conference earlier this month. The Board of Deputies said: “By adopting an antisemitic platform, the Green Party of England and Wales has become a racist party. We will treat it accordingly. A Green Party spokesman said: “The Green Party does not discriminate against or exclude people for holding Zionist views. “The motion passed at our conference sets out political opposition to the ethnic cleansing and displacement of the Palestinian people. “We reject the Board of Deputies’ cha...

Be Prepared!

Oct 23, 2026 1 hr 23 min

Ian Collins unpacks the absolute state of the nation - a country on the absolute brink. Take a listen to this… First, British citizens are now being officially urged to assemble a three-day emergency ‘survival kit.’ The public is advised to stock up on canned food, stash physical cash, and buy a wind-up radio to prepare for national crises ranging from major cyber attacks to widespread flooding. That warning comes, as a massive global internet meltdown has thrown UK infrastructure into total chaos. A total of 32 UK government services were temporarily offline yesterday leaving MOT garages across the country unable to access official databases—forcing mechanics to record vehicle tests by pen and paper like it’s 1955. If that’s not enough - The energy regulator Ofgem says Britain could literally run out of gas this winter. Families face the grim prospect of cold homes and soaring bills while officials scramble to secure supplies. Adding to the misery - recorded crime has rocketed past 7 million incidents a year for the first time in history. Official figures reveal a huge surge in fraud and street robbery, leaving law-abiding citizens feeling increasingly unsafe in their own communities. And while Rome burns, where are our leaders? Kick-starting their television careers, it seems. Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to appear on Channel 4’s Gogglebox (albeit Stand up to Cancer), while Prince William takes time out from the nation’s woes to sit on the sofa for The Graham Norton Show.

What Is Burnham Up To?

Oct 22, 2026 1 hr 46 min

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? And speaking of bankrupting us—look at the state of the economy. Kemi Badenoch is flashing the red warning light, and she is dead right to do so. UK debt has officially hit THREE TRILLION POUNDS for the first time ever. Three trillion! Meanwhile, inflation has shot up to 3.5 per cent. That means interest rate misery for hard-working families, and to top it all off, that inflation spike is going to push the national benefits bill up by another £5.5 billion! Who pays for that? You do! The taxpayer, as always, taking it right on the chin while the politicians kick the can down the road. And finally—because of course they did—the Green Party is out there urging British people to look at the violent protests happening in France and get "inspired" to march in London. Are you serious?! Look over the Channel—cars on fire, riot police, total chaos on the streets—and the Greens think, "Yeah, let’s bring a bit of that over here!" Absolutely reckless! We’ve got enough problems without the Greens bringing Paris-style riots to the streets of London. Grow up! On Sunday the Hackney Greens shared a post encouraging those “inspired” by the scenes to join a march against austerity planned for next week. It urged activists to follow the French example at the March against Austerity, which will take place in central London next Tuesday. It read “Inspired by the protests in France? we have our own protest in the UK the day before the autumn budget is announced to...

Drill Burnham Drill

Oct 21, 2026 1 hr 31 min

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. Now, remember: the Tories originally granted permission for this field—150 miles east of Aberdeen—back in 2022, before climate activists dragged it through the courts and had it ruled unlawful. Let’s see how long it takes the activists to scupper this one, shall we? Meanwhile, the fate of Rosebank—the UK’s last major untapped oil reserve, 80 miles west of the Shetland Islands—still hangs in the balance. All of this, mind you, despite Labour’s explicit manifesto promise to stop issuing new North Sea licences! Last night, MPs voted through the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill by 330 votes to 178, giving the government a solid majority of 152. As it moves to the Lords, Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant insists that victims' families and military veterans "deserve answers," declaring: "It’s about honesty, candour, the pursuit of justice, and most importantly, truth." But hold on—former Labour defence minister Al Carns, who served in Northern Ireland in 2003, says he is "deeply concerned" the bill fails to protect veterans, warning it could allow lawyers to "rewrite history" and "paint the state as the aggressor." Is the state throwing our soldiers to the wolves? The Brexit battles are back! Nigel Farage has reunited leading Brexit figures to smash Andy Burnham’s push to pull the UK back toward Europe. The Reform UK leader confirmed he’s in talks with Leave.EU co-founder Arron Banks to "reactivate" the campaign after the Prime Minister reopened the entire Brexit debate. Britain’s welfare bill is set to keep climbing right up to the next election,...

Veterans In Trouble

Oct 20, 2026 1 hr 37 min

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. With Angela Rayner already tearing into the plan over foreign care workers, Labour’s Cabinet is now in OPEN WARFARE over who gets to stay in Britain! And sticking with migrations - President Trump just ISSUED A WARNING to Republicans ahead of the Mid Terms. Turning to Northern Ireland. The Government is facing fierce backlash over its Troubles Legacy Bill. Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Bryant insists the legislation is NOT an amnesty for soldiers, but Labour ministers stand accused of total betrayal! It comes as a top former commanding officer of the SAS drops a bombshell warning: the very future of the SAS is in absolute peril thanks to relentless, endless "lawfare" Remember Labour’s big crusade against antisocial commuters blasting loud music on public transport? Well, it has COMPLETELY COLLAPSED within hours! Downing Street has been forced to warn passengers NOT to intervene against unruly commuters on buses, while ministers openly admit there is NO "special bus police" coming to hand out fines. The crackdown on "headphone dodgers" has turned into an absolute laughing stock! And while all this is happening - Andy Burnham has announced changes to car parking fines… Drivers will have a 5-minute grace period to decide whether to park and 10 minutes to leave after a parking session endsA £20 maximum charge on appeal for minor mistakes, such as entering the wrong number plate or not displaying a permit Charges will also be cancelled on appeal for breakdowns, medical emergencies or broken...

Mayhem in France

Oct 19, 2026 1 hr 36 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks the latest with The PM as remember when Andy Burnham said he wants closer ties with Europe? Well look at the state of it…Absolute mayhem in Paris and Milan for a second night as protests see streets set ablaze and luxury stores looted. So far there’s been 2 '400 arrests and who does Macron blame? - For once he points the finger at the ‘ultra left’. President Trump blamed immigration for the disorder. Demonstrations were started by teachers and students a month ago in response to staff shortages and have grown into a wider movement against rising prices. And why is the EU so keen to entice Andy Burnham back? Just watch this.. CLIP (That’s right, they want more money! Don’t fall for it Andy!) Meanwhile back here the BBC has paused a placement scheme for civil servants after The Telegraph revealed Whitehall staff were tasked with writing articles and fact-checking contentious issues such as the small boat crossings and the Covid pandemic. Articles and blog posts published on the BBC website, and seen by The Telegraph, showed that the civil servants had been bylined and credited as members of BBC News and BBC Verify. And if that’s not enough… The BBC was also accused of 'brainwashing' children after a separate Mail on Sunday investigation revealed its education website is pushing 'extreme' Left-wing views on migration, Net Zero and inequality to millions of pupils. BBC Bitesize – which is promoted by almost every UK state school – encourages children to play an online game called Increasing Immigration, in which they are rewarded for choosing 'open borders' and granting an amnesty to illegal migrants. The BBC say…”While we don't accept the characterisation of BBC Bitesize in this story, we regularly review content to ensure it remains relevant and to ensure it meets the BBC's editorial standards and will review these examples in that context.'

Megapoll Madness

Oct 16, 2026 1 hr 18 min

Jeremy Kyle discusses whether Burnham will now go for an early election? A new mega-poll has handed Prime Minister Andy Burnham and the Labour Party a massive 56-seat Commons majority, with Reform pushing hard in third place right behind the Tories. Latest research by Electoral Calculus finds Labour would win 353 seats in the House of Commons, far ahead of the Tories on 90 seats and Reform UK on 81 seats. Meanwhile, in the Tory leadership clash... Kemi’s ratings rise with Reform voters after she attacks the party in an ‘only whites can be English’ row! Kemi’s approval leapt from 40 per cent to 57 per cent among Reform UK voters when they were shown video clips of her saying she didn't want to live in a country run by people who 'debate whether my mixed-race children are English'. Over at Reform UK... Farage has hit back at questions over candidate vetting after ITV News broadcast undercover filming of some of its councillors and candidates using racist, violent and sexist language. Nigel Farage has insisted Reform UK does not have an issue with vetting and that his party is vetted "to a much higher standard than other parties" but "you can't vet for future comments". The mother of Henry Nowak’s killer is to be released from prison early. Kiran Kaur, was sentenced to three years in jail for assisting her son, Vickrum Digwa, by removing a murder weapon, after he fatally stabbed Mr Nowak. Digwa is barred from Labour’s early release scheme, but Kaur is eligible to be freed as little as a third of the way through her three-year sentence. That means she could be freed in December – around the anniversary of Mr Nowak’s killing in Southampton – because she spent seven months in custody on remand before her trial. The Home Office say she could be in line for deportation. Turning to schools...

Piddington Women Lose Vote

Oct 15, 2026 1 hr 45 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks an attempt to halt plans to house up to 1,250 asylum seekers near the village of Piddington (Bicester Garrison) have FAILED. A reminder that this is a village of just 350 people. Yesterday the Conservatives forced a Commons vote on the issue. The motion called for the plan to be scrapped and for the UK to leave the ECHR so illegal migrants can be deported. Labour led the vote AGAINST it and defeated it 309 to 113. Every Labour MP who voted said no to blocking it, and the Lib Dems didn't even turn up. The government said similar sites to that at Bicester had operated "for years" with "no evidence of any significant increase in criminality". Calum Miller, who is the MP for Bicester and Woodstock, accused Kemi Badenoch's party of "playing party politics with our local issue". He also argued that leaving the ECHR was not the answer as it would "weaken vital protections for British citizens". Meanwhile we hear the camp will need bat licences to protect endangered species to go ahead say police and the proposed accommodation at Oxfordshire garrison could be delayed until 2028 for wildlife surveys. Tthe Conservative Party has received another polling boost. A second consecutive opinion poll shows the resurgent Tories moving ahead of Reform UK, driven by what commentators are calling the "Badenoch Bounce." The Conservatives were on 24% with More in the Common poll, three points ahead of Nigel Farage's party on 24% and closing the gap on Labour at 28%. Kemi Badenoch has seen her personal approval ratings reach new highs as well. Andy Burnham is pushing for an EU migration deal that would hand European judges new powers over Britain. The PM wants to seal a pact with Brussels to restore access to the bloc’s databases of asylum seekers and criminals when he meets leaders at next month’s UK-EU summit. In return, EU negotiators have insisted that Britain signs up to European Court of Justice (ECJ) oversight of the system and pays an annual fee, sources tol...

Burnham Looks Like A Wally

Oct 14, 2026 1 hr 45 min

Jeremy Kyle discusses a significant clarification, the Director General of MI5 has stated that Russian intelligence and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns did not alter or sway the outcome of the 2016 Brexit referendum. Sir Ken McCallum made clear that the democratic choice of the British public stood on its own two feet. Meanwhile Andy Burnham is also facing a Red Wall resistance over his bid to unpick Brexit and cosy up to Brussels. Labour MPs from Brexit-backing parts of the North and Midlands have warned the PM against reopening the Brexit debate. Meanwhile the head of the Independent Football Regulator (IFR) has vowed to quit if Andy Burnham interferes in its handling of the Manchester City cheating scandal. David Kogan, the IFR chair, issued the ultimatum amid mounting pressure on the Prime Minister over his links to City, who have been found guilty of breaking more than 100 Premier League rules over almost a decade. The PM was also accused of covering up his links to Manchester City after a Sun probe rubbished his claims he had only one “significant” meeting with its chairman. In all he accepted City-funded freebies worth almost £1,200. Is Andy Burnham turning out to be a flop? Tell me I’m wrong, Labour are still leading in the polls Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch has come out fighting following new polling showing the Tories leapfrogging Reform UK and pulling within a single point of Labour, Badenoch insists the Conservatives can win back former 'Red Wall' seats. Badenoch also turned her sights on Nigel Farage, labelling his suggestion to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Donald Trump as "humiliating" for British foreign policy. Here’s a shocking stat for you - four out of five (80%) new jobs created in the UK over the past ten years were filled by foreign nationals according to a newly released report. Of the 3.7million new roles recorded, just 734,000 were taken by UK nationals. EU citizens accounted for 408,000 jobs, while the vas...

Farage Calls Burnham A 'Liar'

Oct 13, 2026 1 hr 36 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as about 650 more offenders are walking out of jail doors across England and Wales this morning in the second phase of the government’s emergency scheme to tackle the prison capacity crisis. This comes right on the heels of the 700 prisoners who were let out early on October 1st. Hard-working, law-abiding taxpayers are left asking one simple question: are we actually being kept safe? And while we're letting hundreds out, what is life actually like on the inside for those who stay? Unbelievable reports in The Sun today reveal inmates at high-security Belmarsh prison are openly bragging about ordering McDonald's and streaming Netflix on illegal mobile phones—mocking the prison system as being 'more like a holiday camp'. Meanwhile, the political gloves are completely off. Andy Burnham is facing a massive backlash after claiming Russian interference played a role in the 2016 Brexit referendum. Both Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage have blasted the PM’s claims as outright lies, accusing Downing Street of trying to rewrite history to justify closer ties with Brussels. When pressed to provide concrete evidence regarding Russian meddling, Foreign Office Minister Stephen Doughty declined to "get into specifics," though he maintained that "Russia clearly has attempted to interfere on a number of our democratic processes." And speaking of Nigel Farage, Reform UK has unveiled its most drastic proposal yet—vowing to shut down the UK’s asylum system entirely for five years. Standing in front of a giant 43-foot replica migrant dinghy, Farage declared it’s time Britain got back to being a 'normal country,' threatening tariffs and flight bans against nations that refuse to take back illegal arrivals. And if that wasn't radical enough, Robert Jenrick has gone even further, insisting the Royal Navy should be authorised to use 'lethal force' against migrant boats in the Channel. Is this the tough stance Britain desperately needs, or is this a step too far in your view...

Un-Welfare

Oct 12, 2026 1 hr 25 min

Ian Collins unpacks an exclusive Times investigation that has uncovered that nearly two million claimants on sickness and disability benefits have gone years without formal re-evaluations or medical checks. The findings raise severe concerns regarding oversight within the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), with experts warning that hundreds of thousands may no longer meet the eligibility criteria. It’s also revealed today in The Telegraph how in thousands of local neighbourhoods across England and Wales, more than half of all working-age adults are now relying on out-of-work state benefits, placing mounting fiscal pressure on the Government ahead of the upcoming Budget. Andy Burnham is moving swiftly to abolish mandatory photo identification requirements for voters in upcoming local elections across the region. Critics argue the move undermines electoral integrity rules established to prevent voter fraud, while proponents claim voter ID rules disproportionately disenfranchise vulnerable communities and depress overall turnout. Meanwhile Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch has had a noticeable surge in the opinion polls following her keynote address at the Conservative Party Conference. Badenoch pledged a future Conservative government would completely abolish inheritance tax, a move that has energised the party base. Rumours are rife in Westminster that an early general election is months away. Nigel Farage has announced that Reform would suspend the UK’s existing asylum scheme. Under the proposed package, all illegal cross-Channel arrivals would face immediate detention and removal without the option to lodge humanitarian claims, alongside an explicit exit from ECHR. Andy Burnham has stated that Russia "clearly" interfered in the 2016 Brexit vote, using the assertion to spark renewed national discussion regarding the UK's relationship with Europe. Notably, Burnham left the door open to rejoining the European Union or the single market through parliamentary mecha...

Zack Polanski Loses By-Election

Jeremy Kyle unpacks the breaking news overnight as Labour has won the Holborn and St Pancras by-election. Camden Council leader Sagal Abdi-Wali secured victory with 12,292 votes. Green leader Zack Polanski finished second on 8,928 votes—a bitter blow that raises immediate questions over his leadership. Polanski was already facing intense heat from ex-Green leaders over his failure to condemn their racist Zionism motion while public anger mounted over Green councillors in Bolton tabling a request to fly the Palestinian flag on October 7th. ADHD A major healthcare review warns the rush to diagnose children with ADHD and autism is causing real harm. With diagnosis rates soaring up to 40-fold, experts warn that mislabeling young people risks damaging their development—while a separate report warns the surge is partly being fuelled by the benefits system. The Tory identity war deepens: Robert Jenrick has sparked a furious political row after declaring that "millions and millions" of people in England are not "culturally or ethnically" English. Ahead of his 11 AM speech, Jenrick has also taken a swipe at his own party, claiming the Conservatives currently serve the wealthy rather than working families. A stern warning for the Chancellor: The Governor of the Bank of England has cautioned against a repeat of Liz Truss-style market volatility as Ministers prepare their upcoming Budget. Prison release farce: The Met Police chief has expressed fury at the "revolving door" of justice, revealing around 100 criminals a day breach their electronic tag conditions without facing penalty. It comes as an early-release prisoner who publicly praised the scheme was sent straight back to jail after going on a fresh crime spree just hours after walking free.

Will Kemi win you back?

Oct 8, 2026 1 hr 35 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts Kemi Badenoch vowed to protect the family home from Labour saying the Tories promise NO stamp duty when you buy your house, NO mansion tax when you're living in it and NO inheritance tax when the time comes to pass it on. Couples will also be able to pass on a further £1million in assets tax-free, cutting the number who will ever pay inheritance tax by more than half. The £6billion pledge will be funded by cuts to the welfare budget. Kemi Badenoch accused Reform of wanting to take the UK backwards with outdated views on race after Suella Braverman said last week that she did not consider herself to be English, even though she was born in London. She also branded Nigel Farage's outfit weirdos and criminals - and urged its voters to come back to the Conservative fold and ruled out any pact with Reform. A small boat carrying 32 migrants was intercepted less than a mile from Dover yesterday after someone onboard….wait for it…phoned 999. Border Security Command vessels and lifeboats were scrambled just before 9am, with the dinghy located just outside Dover Harbour. However, the fact the dinghy was able to get so close to the British shoreline without being detected will raise fresh concerns over border security. Last month, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced an urgent review after two boats made 'uncontrolled landings' on Kent beaches. Talking of migrant madness…A small boat migrant who was released from jail was given the keys to a taxpayer-funded home two days before he committed a sickening sex crime against a pair of young girls. Mohammed Abbas, had been sentenced for assaulting a cop when he broke into the sisters’ Cardiff home and exposed himself in July. Abbas, who claims to be Palestinian, arrived on a dinghy from France in March. But by June he was behind bars on remand before being given a fine and community service.

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party, was pressed about whether she would consider collaborating with Reform UK if it came down to it. Her answer was an emphatic no chance.

Talk presenter Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart, deputy leader of Reform UK Richard Tice, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, former Conservative special adviser Charlie Rowley, commentator at the Mail on Sunday Dan Hodges, former chancellor of the exchequer Nadhim Zahawi, and the Israeli government spokesperson for the prime minister's office David Mencer.

The Iron Dome Lady

Oct 6, 2026 1 hr 37 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as a police and crime commissioner has come under fire for saying that police are being diverted from 999 calls to deal with anti-migrant protests while seemingly ignoring the amount of resources poured into welcoming these migrants when they reach Gosport. Yesterday we showed you the police escort and the amount of ambulances on standby. Donna Jones, police and crime commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, revealed that around 200 officers from seven forces had been pulled off crime-fighting duties to manage protests in Gosport. Tensions are rising over national security after American officials revealed that the US pulled its nuclear-capable B1 bombers from RAF Fairford amid threats of an Iranian drone attack. It follows claims in a Sun exclusive that a group spotted near the Gloucestershire base may have acted as a decoy to distract security forces ahead of a larger, Iran-backed plot. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham is considering delaying a critical decision on UK defence spending, raising questions over Britain’s commitments to NATO as the Cabinet reviews national security budgets. Great timing Andy! Turning to Migrant Madness - An Afghan asylum seeker who fatally stabbed an innocent dog walker, tried to murder his landlord, and attacked a 14-year-old boy has been handed a….wait for it…a hospital order. In a separate case, a small boat migrant who tried to break into the Israeli Embassy with knives just two weeks after arriving has been jailed for life. And an Iraqi national facing deportation has been granted permission to stay in the UK under European human rights law, after successfully arguing that the immigration process was "too stressful." Billionaires with a combined net worth of £120 billion have begun leaving the UK, driven out by Labour's tax increases on high earners and private wealth.

Labour's Brexit Betrayal

Oct 2, 2026 1 hr 14 min

Ian Collins reacts as Tory Leader Kemi Badenoch has gone on the attack, accusing Prime Minister Andy Burnham of quietly gearing up for a surprise snap general election as early as next May. Badenoch claimed the Prime Minister’s economic rhetoric and policy tone clearly signal an early run for a fresh mandate. At the same time, Badenoch has firmly shut the door on any right-wing alliance, explicitly ruling out any electoral pact or deal with Reform UK. However, over at Reform, Nigel Farage is seizing on Burnham’s recent stance on Brexit. Critics argue Burnham’s latest missteps over Europe have given Farage "the biggest boost of his political career," potentially paving Reform's path right toward Number 10. UK population hits new peak of 69.5million but growth slows as net migration and birth rates drop Meanwhile, the row over early prisoner releases is boiling over. Ministers are facing fierce backlash over the release of thousands of inmates in a bid to ease prison overcrowding.

Ian Collins unpacks the latest as around 700 offenders serving sentences of up to 19 months are scheduled for release starting this morning, marking the initial phase of a government early-release scheme expected to free more than 4,500 prisoners by June. The policy has drawn fierce criticism from victim advocacy watchdogs and domestic abuse survivors, who live in fear for their safety. In one case, a survivor of abuse reported fleeing abroad ahead of her former partner's planned release. The government has officially scrapped its "one in, one out" migrant arrangement, ending the framework previously used to manage specific return and exchange agreements for asylum seekers and migrants. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has announced that she will ban school leavers from moving directly onto unemployment benefits upon leaving education. Separately, former cabinet minister Alan Milburn suggested that businesses and employers should begin teaching primary school pupils about work from an early age. PM Andy Burnham has indicated that holding a second referendum on the UK's relationship with the European Union remains an option. His comments have sparked political debate, with critics warning that rejoining the EU or its single market could lead to a return to free movement of people. Meanwhile - the plot thickens - Andy Burnham has suggested potential Iranian involvement regarding the recent foiled terror plot targeting RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire despite 5 suspects being released on bail.

Police say a quantity of petrol but no explosive devices were found during searches of the vans.

Labour Prepares For Early General Election?

Sep 25, 2026 1 hr 31 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as Downing Street advisers are pushing for an early general election NEXT YEAR. Several senior members of Andy Burnham’s team believe that calling an election in the spring would give Labour the best chance of another majority. A YouGov megapoll released yesterday showed Labour would remain the largest party with 241 seats. The Conservatives would be in second place with 130 seats, better than their result in 2024, while Reform would be pushed into third place with 123 seats. In contrast, last year's megapoll showed Reform UK winning 311 seats. The number of small-boat migrants who have reached Britain under Labour is larger than the entire British Army. 781 migrants arrived on Wednesday – the highest daily tally this year. It pushed the total since the general election to 83,279 – passing the Army's 83,000 soldiers. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said. 'Labour has let an entire army-sized population cross the Channel illegally, Education Secretary Lucy Powell came under fire last night after she denied that benefits claimants spend their handouts on drink or gambling. She said welfare recipients spend their 'very little' money on rent and paying household bills rather than luxuries. Kemi Badenoch this week announced plans for a crackdown on benefits, with the jobless who have paid little in taxes seeing their handouts cut by 30 per cent. The criminal justice system is prioritising paedophiles before children, Britain’s most senior police officer has said after a child sex offender was bailed to a flat near a children’s playground. The Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley attacked the decision to free Zafer Dogan as “yet another example of victims being let down”.

Trump takes one look at it, calls it a "terrible, ridiculous deal," and now Burnham’s dragged right back to the drawing board, admitting the whole thing is under review! Fancy getting schooled on the world stage. And it doesn't end there! Burnham's over at the UN, preaching about stopping Russian disinformation and pushing for global AI rules, while secretly dropping hints that he wants to drag us straight back into the EU! And who does he blame for Brexit? "Russian outside forces!". So not the 52% of Brits who actually voted to leave? The Tories have drawn level with Reform UK for the first time in 18 months in a fresh boost for Kemi Badenoch. Labour is currently on 23% while Tories and Reform are both on 21% according to the latest YouGov poll.

Andy Burnham gave the British people the impression that he had a plan for the country, but as the saying goes, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Apparently, Burnham is using a plan for the nation constructed by his predecessor. Does he have what it takes to make it work and put his own stamp on it?

Piddington referendum result

Sep 16, 2026 1 hr 29 min

Piddington is sticking it to the Labour government, voting overwhelmingly to leave the UK; 285 of 312 voted to leave. Although this will not trigger any formal departure from the country, it represents the strength of feeling about the incoming migrants that Piddington would like to see the back of. Many say this is what Piddington gets for voting Liberal Democrat, with residents emphasising that not every local voted for the Party and that the safety of women is paramount. Talk Breakfast's Jeremy Kyle discussed the vote outcome, and more, with: Former deputy speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans, Piddington resident Sandra Innes, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, commentator and the Mail on Sunday's Dan Hodges, shadow chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart, Talk reporter Charlie Rowley, and chair of the Piddington Parish Council in Oxfordshire Tim McNally.

Reform UK's £72m donation

Sep 14, 2026 1 hr 17 min

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.

Resilience & Protests

Sep 11, 2026 1 hr 24 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as the Home Secretary has instructed police forces to deploy all available powers necessary to crack down on anti-migrant demonstrations. Shabana Mahmood has also called for a blanket ban on masks at public protests to unmask extremists. Whenever did we hear the Home Secretary say ‘use all powers necessary’ on pro-palestinian protests? Across the Channel, France wants Britain to accept asylum seekers directly from across the European Union as part of the one in, one out scheme. But back here local communities are increasingly worried about asylum seekers in their area. In the village of Piddington, local women have issued an urgent plea to female MPs, fearing they will be vastly outnumbered ten-to-one by male asylum seekers. And just to give you an idea of how bad the situation is - official data reveals the UK asylum appeals backlog has skyrocketed to a historic record exceeding 90,000 cases - a seventeenfold jump over six years ago. Meanwhile, a Labour review says make disability benefits as 'easy as possible' to get as new figures show the number of claimants receiving benefits for ADHD has surpassed the total number of serving soldiers in the British military. Remember what the PM said on Wednesday: ‘National security cannot come at the expense of social security'. Wes Streeting says: We need a national conversation about preparedness and resilience.

The 'Welfare' Party

Sep 10, 2026 1 hr 17 min

Jeremy Kyle explores Labour being branded the 'Welfare Party' on Wednesday after Andy Burnham said he would never prioritise defence spending over benefits. In an extraordinary intervention, the Prime Minister said he was serious about national security, but it 'cannot come at the expense of social security'. Kemi Badenoch said Mr Burnham had 'said the quiet part out loud', adding: 'For our new PM, social security – welfare – comes above national security. Do you believe Labour will ever cut the benefits bill? Pensioner Benefits: £177.7 billion (around 55% of the total expenditure), which includes £146.1 billion for the State Pension.Working-Age and Children Welfare: £145.0 billion, including Universal Credit and non-DWP welfare.Disability and Health Support: £77.1 billion for people with health conditions and disabilities.Housing Benefits: £37.3 billion President Trump makes a major promise at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas: $5,000 for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterms. A spokesperson for the Israeli Government calls Ed Miliband a 'failed figure' and a 'joke' who 'made Britain irrelevant', in response to the West Bank sanctions row. We also learn that Ministers ‘ignored official advice’ on Israeli settlements trade ban. Benjamin Netanyahu says Labour restricted trade with Israel to protect Starmer’s seat. Meanwhile, Labour picks a Somali refugee in Starmer’s old seat. Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

Miliband Has Put 'British Jews In Danger'

Sep 9, 2026 1 hr 31 min

Jeremy Kyle unpacks The Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s announcement sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, accusing Israel's government of turning a blind eye to the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians by settlers. Israel furiously hit back - Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar responded by accusing him of spreading an "outrageous lie"and closed the UK consulate, banned a dozen MPs and booted out Britain's military from joint operations. The sanctions were launched alongside France and Canada will prohibit the import of settlement-produced goods, bar companies from providing expansion services, and ban the advertising of settlement properties within the UK. But Ed Miliband has been accused of putting Jews in the UK in danger: The Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis said this is a 'truly a dark day for British Jews' just days before Jewish New Year celebrations and accused Labour of 'gesture politics'. Kemi Badenoch joined the condemnation, saying that Andy Burnham risked 'fanning the flames of anti-Semitism at home' Labour’s Advisor on the unemployed Alan Milburn says the GP sick note culture for people with ADHD is insane. Doctors issued nearly one million sick notes signing people off work with mental health issues last year. It comes as the Government is told about 40,000 hidden NEETS (Not in Employment, Education or Training). The Children's Commissioner finds tens of thousands enrolled in college but hardly attending.

Burnham ‘Weak’ On Migrant Protests

Sep 8, 2026 1 hr 43 min

Jeremy Kyle examines the latest that Andy Burnham has been told he must not ignore rising anger over the migrant crisis because Britain is teetering on the brink of chaos, Kemi Badenoch has said. The Tory leader accused Labour of being “weak” on immigration as 120 people were brought into Portsmouth following a record crossing attempt from near Cherbourg. She added that “thuggery” cannot stop small boat crossings. It follows a further clash between Zia Yusuf and the supposed leader of the protests in Portsmouth after Nigel Farage said he wanted to end all face coverings in public, including religious ones. And in a major poll for The Times, most of the British public think that small boat migrants should be detained and held in secure accommodation on arrival in Britain Even the U.N. has told Britain that migrants are being granted asylum even when they may not be entitled to it. Their Refugee Agency found serious flaws in Home Office interviews used to decide who is allowed to stay in the UK.

Portsmouth & Dover Migrant Protests

Sep 7, 2026 1 hr 24 min

Jeremy Kyle reacts as hundreds of protesters have clashed with police in Portsmouth after a mega-dinghy carrying 140 migrants reached the UK from Normandy. Around 500 demonstrators are believed to have joined a protest in the area on Sunday night, with some dressed in all black – similar to those who joined an anti-illegal migrant protest which blocked the Port of Dover on Saturday. The large boat of migrants – believed to be the longest-ever Channel crossing by people-smugglers – was intercepted in the Solent between the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth earlier on Sunday. It comes as only one in 100 asylum claims are genuine, according to a whistleblower who has revealed widespread fraud and dysfunction in the system. He said he had encountered a large number of Iraqi Kurds claiming asylum who said they had been in a relationship with the daughter of the prime minister of the Kurdistan region. Shabana Mahmood was last night accused of kowtowing to the Labour Left-wing after failing to bring forward 'urgent' immigration reforms. The Home Secretary promised tough new measures aimed at tightening immigration laws almost a year ago. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said Ms Mahmood had 'chickened out'.
