About this episode

Keir Starmer could be gone within days. That's the verdict of Sun columnist David Wooding, who reveals Westminster is awash with leadership chatter — including claims that Ed Miliband has already been offered the Chancellorship by a rival contender. 


With Cabinet ministers refusing the Prime Minister's calls and resignations potentially imminent, the clock may finally be ticking on Starmer's tenure.


Then, as England's World Cup campaign kicks off, Oxfordshire County Council is seeking a legal injunction — backed by taxpayer money — to ban Union flags and England flags from lampposts. 


Philip Kiszeley of the New Culture Forum joins Julia to expose the jaw-dropping double standards of a political class that celebrates Pride and Palestinian flags whilst treating patriotism as a hate crime.


Plus: the BBC's £500 million cuts, a Question Time migrant plant scandal, and civil servants being paid to play Grand Theft Auto and role-play as earthworms in the name of public policy.


Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM. 


Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.


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