Summary
Is Keir Starmer’s leadership sinking? With Labour facing mounting scandals and political turmoil, Starmer’s grip on the party appears weaker than ever. The latest bombshells include Rachel Reeves allegedly lying on her CV, Jonathan Reynolds falsely claiming to be a solicitor, and now Labour MP Mike Amesbury jailed for assault, triggering a by-election crisis.
As UK politics heats up, can Starmer survive the backlash? With public trust in Labour wavering, the party faces pressure from both the Conservatives and Reform UK ahead of the next general election. Meanwhile, global issues like Trump’s influence, the war in Ukraine, and the cost of living crisis add to the challenges facing UK leadership.
Will Starmer’s centrist strategy hold the party together, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end for his leadership? Tune in for a deep dive into UK political news, debate, and free speech analysis.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to the John Gorn to broadcast, whether you're watching on the TV, on your phone, on your mobile, or whether you're listening to one of the podcasts afterwards, you're all welcome. |
| 0:13.7 | Big question today, and it's breaking news, of course, is, is it all over for Keir Stama? |
| 0:20.6 | Or is this the beginning of the beginning of the end if you follow what I'm saying? |
| 0:27.2 | What's your view? |
| 0:29.0 | Why do I say these things? |
| 0:30.5 | Well, let me explain to you. |
| 0:32.7 | He's had a pretty bad weekend. |
| 0:34.4 | Did you see him panicking at that conservative conference held in a phone |
| 0:39.5 | box in Scotland where he started calling a reform far right? Now there are many things, but they |
| 0:46.8 | are not far right. I know Nigel Farage very well, been in his company on many occasions. |
| 0:55.1 | He is not a racist. |

| 1:13.7 | addressing the nation and telling us what he was going to say to President Trump on Thursday, |
| 1:20.4 | after Macron sneaked in the back door, there's a surprise. He instead went to Scotland and spoke to a few Tories, |
| 1:30.3 | not Tories, Labour supporters, |
| 1:32.5 | and it's hard to tell the difference these days, |
| 1:34.9 | about what his vision of the future was. |
| 1:38.6 | He was useless. |
