  • Who do you trust more - Trump or leaked US intelligence?
    Jun 25 2025

    The US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program, as President Trump claims, and likely only set it back by months, according to a leaked US intelligence report. Despite this, the head of NATO has referred to Donald Trump as "daddy" as he lauded the US president over the Israel-Iran “ceasefire”. Is sycophancy inevitable?

    And, a growing number of Labour MPs are supporting a bid to block the government's planned welfare changes, which would cut disability benefits to save £5bn a year by 2030. Are these welfare cuts fair?

    Jun 24 2025

    Israel has accused Iran of violating a ceasefire, which Iran has denied, hours after the deal brokered by Donald Trump and Qatar came into effect. When questioned about it on live TV, Trump attacked both countries and said the f-word. What should Keir Starmer be doing here?

    Also, the health secretary, Wes Streeting, has launched a national investigation into NHS maternity services in England. This has come after a series of high profile failures and preventable losses of life, including several infants. What is wrong with maternity care services in England?

    And, it’s Daniel Hannan Day! To "celebrate", James speaks with John Springford, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre For European Reform and Dmitry Grozoubinski, Founder of Explain Trade, to analyse the infamous post-Brexit predictions from the wrongest man in the world.
