Iran War, Starmer Under Fire & Britain’s Immigration Crackdown

Britain’s role in the escalating Iran conflict is under intense scrutiny. Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith and former Shadow Attorney General Sir Bill Cash debate whether the UK should be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the US and Israel, or holding back, as reports suggest Middle East allies feel Britain has “failed” them and Cabinet divisions emerge over Donald Trump’s war strategy.

Former Home Office minister Norman Baker reacts to Keir Starmer’s latest speech on Iran and what it signals about Britain’s foreign policy direction, military involvement and the future of the UK’s role on the global stage.

The programme also examines the government’s tightening migration stance: failed asylum seeker families being offered up to £40,000 to leave the UK, new plans to deport foreign criminals from taxpayer-funded hotels, and proposals that migrants must speak A-level standard English before settling permanently in Britain. Former government adviser James Price discusses whether tougher immigration policies and a potential Left-wing alliance against Reform could reshape British politics.
