About this episode
Ian Collins asks the question many voters are now openly raising: has this government dangerously lost touch with reality?
Following a series of shocking crimes, including the jailing of an Afghan migrant for raping a schoolgirl and fresh reports of teenage stabbings in London schools - Ben Habib, leader of Advance UK, and Maria Bowtell, spokeswoman for Restore Britain, discuss whether Britain is paying the price for political decisions on immigration, policing and social order.
We then turn to what critics are calling the political and cultural downfall of Britain, as Labour faces mounting backlash over accusations it has abandoned the working class while obsessing over elite priorities and internal power struggles. Ralph Schoellhammer, political theorist and head of the Center for Applied History at MCC Budapest, analyses whether Britain is now entering a period of managed decline and who is really paying the cost.
