Peter Lynas, Alicia Edmund and Danny Webster return from the summer break to the same political upheaval as before. The team discuss the recent Channel 4 documentary revealing further questions regarding donations to Reform UK and apparent fractures in Nigel Farage’s top team. How will this effect their electorate success and popularity?
They go on to explore the weekend headlines of Patriot Platform and masked men seeking to ‘defend the Portsmouth’ coastline whilst chanting ‘Christ is King’ and round up the conversation on the upcoming vote in Westminster on assisted suicide on Friday, 11 September.
The theme of polarisation continues across our news and political stories. How can Christians engage and offer a different way of living and response?
