Description

Ian Collins asks whether Britain is still a Christian country after a teacher is banned for telling a Muslim pupil that the UK has a Christian heritage. Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern, explains what this case means for free expression, British identity, and whether stating historical fact is now professionally dangerous.


David Wooding, Columnist at The Sun, joins Ian in the studio to examine Sir Keir Starmer’s latest attempt to “connect with voters” on TikTok and why Labour insiders say he needed a ‘grown-up’s guide’ to using the app.


Later, Susan Hall, Conservative London Assembly member, reacts to shocking claims that full footage of an Afghan asylum seeker’s attack on a schoolgirl “would start a riot” if released. She discusses public confidence, policing, transparency, and what this case reveals about Labour’s broader handling of crime and migration.
