Talk Breakfast

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…

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 Kemi Badenoch accused Reform of wanting to take the UK backwards with outdated views on race after Suella Braverman said last week that she did not consider herself to be English, even though she was born in London.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…

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. Some say she is painting herself into a corner, whilst others think the water is too muddy between the two parties for reconciliation and coalition. 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.

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,…

The dinghies just keep coming. Gosport locals in Hampshire have staged a protest seeking to resist a dinghy carrying migrants. To get ahead of any potential disruption from residents, a dispersal order—which some are calling draconian—has been issued. Protests were largely peaceful, but some run-ins with police and flares being set off were reported. Talk's Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Deputy leader of Reform UK Richard Tice, Talk's royal correspondent Rupert Bell, shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith, former Conservative special advisor Charlie Rowley, former Conservative government minister Steve Baker, former Labour special advisor Paul Richards, chief political writer at Spiked Online Brendan O'Neill, and leader of Hampshire Reform UK Group Councillor George Madgwick.

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. Shocking reports detail…

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…

In it, he pledged to… Triple Lock & Social Care: Burnham confirmed plans to scrap the state pension triple lock, warning that tax rises are necessary to fund a new National Care Service. Electoral & Housing Reform: Labour is set to fight the next election on a platform to replace the First-Past-The-Post voting system. Alongside Angela Rayner, Burnham also unveiled proposals granting local councils powers to seize empty and private rental properties. Energy & EU Relations: The government announced the creation of the public "Great British Grid" to direct electricity infrastructure investment, while Burnham signalled openness to exploring closer ties with the EU, mocking Brexiteer rhetoric on national sovereignty.

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…

Jeremy Kyle discusses The Leader of The Opposition Kemi Badenoch’s declaration war on Britain’s scroungers with a ruthless plan to slash welfare handouts for work-shy freeloaders. Her proposals mean anyone who hasn't put in enough shift work will see their benefit payments chopped by 30%. Meanwhile Andy Burnham has come up with his first policy that hasn’t been taken from Starmer’s playbook and that is to allow drinking in the football stands. Tells you everything about the priorities of the man. And that’s not all — the Tory leader wants to slap a strict ban on how the rest of the cash is spent. That means NO booze, NO fags, and NO flutter at the bookies on the taxpayer's dime! Meanwhile Andy Burnham wants to allow footy fans to drink in the stands again for the first time in 40 years. Sir Tony Blair has stuck his oar into the Brexit debate, urging Labour to ditch its red lines and drag Britain back into the European Union within ten years. The former Prime Minister warned not to just "re-run the debates of…

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Prime Minister Andy Burnham goes all the way across the Atlantic, sits down with Donald Trump, and gets ABSOLUTELY SLAMMED over the Chagos Islands deal! 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. Earl Spencer has agreed to edit his upcoming Princess Diana memoir following legal…

Jeremy Kyle unpacks a huge security breach at our borders where an unescorted dinghy has somehow slipped right past Border Force and landed dead on the beach at Folkestone! And what happened next? Several migrants literally sprinted off into the night before the police could even pull up! Labour is being accused of completely losing control of our borders. But it gets worse! Over in Calais, a charity has been caught red-handed helping adult migrants pose as children just to claim asylum over here. Is anyone actually enforcing the rules anymore?! Absolutely shameful! Now let's talk about the welfare state, because the numbers coming out today are simply staggering. ONE IN FIVE working-age adults in this country are now claiming Universal Credit. One in five! And that’s not all. Analysis shows that benefit claims for ADHD and autism among teenagers are soaring fastest in—wait for it—England’s wealthiest areas! What is going on here?! Is the system being played, or are we just failing to hold people…

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Prime Minister Andy Burnham is reportedly plotting an early trip to the ballot box to beg the public for a mandate to hike your income tax. Why? Because the Treasury is in absolute meltdown over the state of the nation's wallet! On top of that, he’s eyeing a massive £14 billion Capital Gains Tax raid. Put the work in, pay your taxes, or face the consequences—simple as that! Minister for Women and Equalities & Chair of the Labour Party Bridget Phillipson has come straight out and said it—"all women" in society are currently unsafe! This comes as terrified locals in Piddington raise serious alarm bells over safety concerns in their own backyard. Phillipson yesterday launched a national taskforce to tackle misogyny. What does she think will happen to misogyny rates when Labour dumps 1,256 male asylum seekers on a town of 350. Following Piddington's lead, a quiet Suffolk village (Barnham) is demanding its own referendum to stop a local RAF base being turned into an asylum seeker center.…

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? Talk Breakfast's Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Former Conservative special advisor Charlie Rolwey, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, former press secretary to the Queen Dickie Arbiter, former minister for common sense Esther McVey, Labour MP Toby Perkins, and former culture secretary, now Reform member, Nadine Dorries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Piddington uproar has taken an unexpected turn with plans for a proposed migrant camp being potentially thwarted by newts. The Home Office are said to have failed to mention the presence of any protected species in a planning application. Will newts be to the rescue in Piddington? Protests, a referendum and now newts, what next? Talk Breakfast's Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Former Labour MP and Reform defector Simon Danczuk, the host of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield, author and columnist at the Daily Mail Sarah Vine, and Reform UK treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The people of Piddington are fighting back, trying to resist thousands of migrants moving into their local area and outnumbering the local population. As if that wasn't a big enough fight, Piddington has also called a referendum to decide whether it will leave the UK; a verdict is expected tomorrow. What will come of it? Talk breakfast host Jeremy Kyle speaks to: Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party Matt Vickers, former Conservative Party leader Sir Ian Duncan Smith, former head of royal protection Dai Davies, Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, former first minister of Northern Ireland Arlene Foster, and Plaid Cymru Liz Saville Roberts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 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…

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…

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…

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. Wake up with…

​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'…

This morning on Talk Breakfast with Ian Collins, Reform UK’s conference has kicked off in Birmingham the party is already battling a full-blown crisis after undercover footage appeared to show senior figures discussing ways around foreign donation rules and keeping polling payments off the books. Nigel Farage has branded the investigation a politically motivated “hoax”, but two senior Reform figures James Orr and long-time Farage confidant Dan Jukes have been ordered to stand down. Lee Anderson says they’ve “left the building” and “ain’t coming back”, while the party launches a full internal investigation. Nothing says business as usual quite like a conference-eve clear-out! Reform supporters are blaming an establishment stitch-up, pointing out that the footage was released by Channel 4 just as the party gathered for its national conference. But critics say Reform must stop crying foul and tighten up its operation if it genuinely wants to move from protest party to government. Despite the chaos, spirits…

Jeremy Kyle unpacks Andy Burnham first Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday and the verdict - lacklustre. Although at times he did appear to answer a question which is a stark improvement on his predecessor. Kemi piles on the pressure today with a fresh vow to slash Britain’s ballooning benefits bill to boost defense spending to 3 per cent of GDP. She’s piling maximum pressure on the new PM, as experts warn the UK is sitting in a “deeply uncomfortable” fiscal mess ahead of a brutal upcoming Budget! Despite this, we hear Burnham’s racing ahead with the controversial Chagos Islands surrender deal, with fresh talks set with Mauritius next week. Here’s an idea Mr Burnham, why not scrap the Chagos deal and save us all £35billion. One decision, one massive saving! The PM is being urged to stop getting stitched-up by the French after they promised just a measly 45 extra cops to tackle the illegal boat crossings on the exact same day the famous Bayeux Tapestry is set to cross the Channel. His Majesty the King even…

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been accused of 'living in the past' after blaming Margaret Thatcher and Brexit for Britain's problems. The new Prime Minister used his first statement to Parliament to set out his vision for the country involving greater state control of the economy. He also refused to rule out further tax rises in next month's Budget. He said “From the 1980s, this country took a series of wrong turns. Political power was centralised, economic power privatised, the country deindustrialised, austerity followed. And then Brexit compounded the damage.’ But does anyone else think that Andy Burnham's political diagnosis is a bit outdated - He's talking about things that are literally nearly half a century ago.

This morning the discussion with Jermey Kyle started as thousands of dangerous criminals will be lined up for early release, it's revealed today. Stalkers, domestic abusers on 'indefinite' sentences - all up to walk the streets again because politicians apparently can't figure out how to manage prison capacity! Andy Burnham and the government taking heat left, right, and center for ignoring the risk to the public! Even Prison governors are now saying that prisoners being freed early are walking right back into jail at a rapid rate! It's a revolving door! They get out, commit another crime, and walk right back in. Now, there is one bit of common sense today: after an absolute outcry from the public, a massive U-turn! Two of the killers of hero PC Andrew Harper will NOT be freed under the early release scheme. But why did it take a public uproar for ministers to realise that releasing violent cop killers early was an insult to his memory?! The Conservative party is reshuffling the deckchairs again! Tom…

Ian Collins unpacks the latest as hundreds of police officers from across Britain have been sent to Middlesbrough amid fears of escalating gang violence. A series of suspected gang-related incidents has taken place since Saturday, when a wrong-way crash on the A66 killed two police officers and five young men. Meanwhile Reform UK has pledged to prevent people from voting if their English is not good enough to understand the electoral rules. Officials in polling stations would be told to deny someone a ballot paper if they were concerned about “their ability to understand the voting process or language”. Do you agree with Reform? Kemi Badenoch has vowed to deport every illegal immigrant, stating that Britain is “our home, not a hotel”. Writing in The Sun, the Tory leader repeated her pledge to leave the ECHR and accused Labour of putting people with “fundamentally different cultures and beliefs on our doorsteps”.

Housing fury! Housing Secretary Angela Rayner says it is just false that foreign nationals are taking up social housing. I don’t know about you, but adding millions of foreign nationals to the population while claiming it doesn't affect housing is just ‘insulting’ isn’t it? Or am I wrong?

Eleven families of victims of crimes carried out by migrants have written to Alex Norris, the Justice Secretary, urging him to drop plans to use the…

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has done is not once, but twice in Clacton-on-Sea winning back his seat in the Commons as an MP. Some say it was an attempt to get out of the Parliamentary scrutiny he was facing about that £5m donation, some say it has strengthened his position as 'anti-establishment'.

He also discussed Nigel's win with: Deputy leader of Reform Richard Tice, Former Conservative special advisor Charlie Rowley, MP and chairman of the Conservative Party Kevin Hollinrake, former Conservative minister Edwina Currie, and Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott.

Prime Minster Andy Burnham is telling communities across the country that they need to take on their fair share of the burden of illegal migrants pouring into the UK. Many are outraged with some communities being asked to take on migrants in numbers three times the size of their population. What has this country come to? Has Burnham considered the added cost of housing people in more expensive areas of the country? Labour continued to disappoint on the migrant crisis. Talk's Ian Collins speaks to: Assistant comment editor at The Telegraph Poppy Coburn, former government advisor James Price, author and columnist at the Daily Mail Sarah Vine, independent peer Lord Hannan, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, and news reporter at The Sun Thomas Godfrey.

What on earth do we do now? The dinghy has been swapped for the mega-dinghy, one so big that is overwhelmed The Sun's front page. Arriving at about 2.30am this morning it was carrying 230 migrants, reportedly the largest number to cross the Channel successfully on one vessel.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is gearing up for his listening mode tour, gleaning from people all over the UK the issues that are most important to them. Some argue this is just more public relations work, allowing him to ride what is left of his political capital ahead of a budget that could be more punishing than the last. Talk's Ian Collins discusses the possible outcomes of this Burnham charm offensive, across the country, with: Chairman of the Great British PAC Ben Habib, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott, ambassador and former NATO senior civilian representative of Afghanistan, Stefano Pontecorvo, former political editor at The Sun Trevor Kavanagh, and creative social news editor Ricky Freelove.
