  • 2128 - Single-sex spaces

    Which toilet do I use? Businesses and organisations are having to fall in line with the Supreme Court's ruling that sex is based on biology, changing their bogs back to single-sex spaces. Trans activists are not happy about it, and apparently it is costing businesses a hell of a lot of money. Talk's Ian Collins discusses this hotly contested issue, and others, with: Former Conservative special advisor Charlie Rowley, former Conservative MP Nigel Evans, Reform MP and chairman Lee Anderson, Mail on Sunday columnist Dan Hodges, chair of Thames Valley Police Aileen O'Connor, and Reform UK mayoral candidate, in London, Laila Cunningham.

  • 2127 - Burnham goes on holiday

    Days into his premiership, the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has gone on holiday with his family. Can you imagine starting a new job and going on holiday so soon? People are not happy about it, with some suggesting, knowing he was going on holiday, Burnham sought to hand out policy sweeties, like energy bill savings. The country is still putting out fires, surely the prime minister should be here firefighting? Discussing this with Talk's Ian Collins: Sun columnist David Wooding, former Metropolitan Police detective Peter Bleksley, former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith, Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party Matt Vickers, and Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshott.

  • 2126 - Should Nigel Farage work with Rupert Lowe again?

    Will the Right finally unite? Restore's Rupert Lowe has extended an 'olive branch' to Reform UK's Nigel Farage, suggesting a pact with red lines that political pundits say are unworkable. Does Rupert Lowe really mean what he is proposing, or is it simply more politicking and the beginnings of an attempted coup? All will be revealed in time. The timing of the proposal has sparked interest, with Nigel arguably still being politically wounded from deep dives into who some of his Party donors are. Discussing all this is Talk's Ian Collins, in for Jeremy Kyle, joined by: Reform UK's shadow home secretary Zia Yusuf, chair of Great British PAC Ben Habib, Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp, former political editor of The Sun Trevor Kavanagh, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshotte, and political strategist Peter Barnes.
