Talk Breakfast

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 tell our government what we think about austerity.”

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, despite Andy Burnham’s back-to-work drive. Ministers admit costs will exceed savings every single year until 2030—with the fiscal watchdog forecasting benefit spending to hit a staggering £409 billion by 2030/31. Who is going to pay for this?

Prince Harry is speaking out again. In his first sit-down interview since returning to the UK, the Duke of Sussex says he "wants to work it out" with King Charles and William, admitting he grieves those relationships but added a sharp swipe, warning that "scars stick around forever." And the timing? The interview aired right in the middle of a State Visit, as the King and the Prince of Wales welcomed the Sultan of Oman to Windsor. Accidental timing, or deliberate drama?

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 ends
A £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 ticket machines
The £100 cap on charges will remain.

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.'

And Foreign prisoners are being given cold-water therapy and breathing sessions in jail, which have been described as similar to “a yoga retreat”. Inmates at HMP Maidstone in Kent, one of three jails in the UK that only hold inmates from abroad, combine the cold-water therapy with breathing exercises. Additional initiatives included practical skills sessions such as soup- and bread-making.

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... The Education Secretary Lucy Powell is told children will be the losers after she said ‘speaking skills’ will be as important as reading and writing in new plans for GCSEs! Critics and teachers' groups are blasting the overhaul, warning that basic literacy risks being pushed to the backseat!
