Starmer Under Pressure, Al-Quds March Row & heating oil backlash
About this episode
Do you believe Keir Starmer has Britain’s back? As political pressure builds on the Prime Minister, we examine whether the government is showing strong leadership at home and abroad.
Writer and broadcaster Emma Trimble and Jonathan Gullis debate the fallout from the controversial Al-Quds Day march in London, where protesters were filmed praising Ali Khamenei and chanting against Benjamin Netanyahu, raising questions about extremism, policing and Britain’s response.
We also look at the growing political row over energy and the cost of living as Ed Miliband hints at a possible fuel duty U-turn amid rising economic pressure.
Plus, Maurice Cousins from Net Zero Watch discusses the future of Net Zero policy, energy prices and whether Britain’s climate strategy is making the cost-of-living crisis worse.
