Alex Phillips joins us live from Israel’s Gaza envelope as the country marks the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, reporting from the area around the Gaza border and reflecting on the ongoing conflict and its impact two years on.
Back at Conservative Party Conference, Charlie Rowley, Former Tory Special Adviser and Talk Presenter, joins us after Kemi Badenoch’s conference speech. We discuss her warning that the next election will be a “battle for the soul of Britain”, the Conservatives’ direction under Badenoch and the party’s relationship with Reform as the conference draws to a close.
We also examine the latest developments around Reform UK after an inquiry cleared staff over an undercover donations sting, and what the row means for the wider political battle on the right.
Finally, Mark Littlewood, Director of Popular Conservatism, joins us to discuss the growing benefits bill, with analysis suggesting welfare spending is increasing twice as fast as wages across much of the UK. What is driving the rise in benefits and what does it mean for taxpayers, workers and the future of the welfare system?
