Summary
Donald Trump tears into Sir Keir Starmer over Britain’s response to the Iran conflict, as Jeremy Kyle asks why the Prime Minister keeps flip-flopping over military support, air bases and Britain’s role alongside America. With Reform MP Sarah Pochin weighing in, the show digs into whether Starmer’s biggest weakness is not just indecision, but a total failure to project leadership at a time of global instability.
Jeremy also tackles the eye-watering state of Britain’s finances and priorities, as the debate turns to welfare, defence spending and the growing fear that the UK is dangerously exposed in an increasingly hostile world. Sarah Pochin and Sun columnist Trevor Kavanagh lay out why they believe Britain has become weaker, softer and less prepared, while Jeremy argues that years of political drift have left the country vulnerable abroad and overstretched at home.
Plus, former detective Peter Bleksley reacts to Talk’s exclusive investigation into police officers caught watching porn, playing video games and pretending to work while on duty.

| 0:29.5 | I said, why don't you send some ships over and he really didn't want to do it. I said, |
| 0:34.7 | you don't want to do it. We've been with you. You're our oldest ally. |
| 0:38.3 | I think it's terrible. |
| 0:39.3 | No, I was very surprised. |
| 0:41.3 | I told him, you know, we requested two aircraft carriers, which they had, and he didn't really want to do it. |
| 0:49.3 | And then right after the war essentially ended, you know, meaning they were obliterated. |
| 0:58.0 | He said, I would like to send the aircraft carriers. |
| 1:02.2 | I said, I don't need them after the war has ended and won. |

| 1:14.6 | Sarah, my point is this, and it's a balanced approach, actually. There are polls, apparently, we'll talk about that. |
| 1:16.6 | I mean, they say that 70% of Brits do not want to be involved. |
| 1:20.6 | Whether or not he was right or wrong, okay, initially, |
| 1:24.6 | the problem with Stama and his distinct style, well, his distinct lack of style as a leader is, |
| 1:31.3 | he never makes a damn decision and sticks to it. And that flip-flopping, no to bases, yes to bases, |
| 1:37.9 | no to mind-sweepers, yes. That's the issue here, isn't it? |
