About this episode
Ian Collins is back.
We begin with the battle for the future of the Right after Rupert Lowe launched a new party, throwing the conservative movement into fresh turmoil. With Reform, Restore and Advance now competing for the same voters, who actually has the momentum - and who will ultimately win the fight on the right? Ian is joined by Mayuran Senthilnathan (former Reform UK candidate), Charlie Downes (Campaign Director, Restore Britain) and Paul Thorpe (Advance UK College Member) to debate whether the movement is strengthening - or splintering.
Then, a dramatic development in the Royal story as reports emerge about Prince Andrew’s arrest. What does it mean for the monarchy and the wider Epstein fallout? Ian discusses the latest with royal commentator Michael Cole and writer and journalist Valentine Low.
