Adrian Goldberg talks to Kolbassia Haoussou, from Freedom From Torture - a former refugee - about government guidance stating that any asylum seeker who arrives in the UK on a 'dangerous journey', will be denied citizenship.

That's despite the fact that Britain is a signatory to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, which says asylum seekers and refugees should not be penalised for illegal entry to a country.

This is the latest move from Labour to show that it's being tough on migration.

The Home Office recently released photos of migrants being forced on deportation flights, some in handcuffs and waist restraints; it also published footage of enforcement raids which were part of a crackdown on illegal workers.

Facebook Ads placed by Labour boasting about some of these measures have used Reform UK's colours, not the party’s traditional red… so is Keir Starmer cosplaying Nigel Farage? If you vote Labour, are you actually getting Reform instead?

Liverpool and the Unmaking of Britain 21:09

21:09

Liverpool was once the UK's primary port of Empire but has now outlived its original purpose and like many post industrial towns in the UK is struggling for a new identity. Adrian Goldberg talks to Sam Wetherell about his new history, ' Liverpool And The Unmaking of Britain' which offers a perspective on the city as a symbol of both obsolescence and regeneration. Sam's book is a kind of love letter, exploring how Merseyside was abandoned by the capital – and by capital - when it was deemed surplus to requirements. And never mind the people left behind....

Adrian Goldberg asks 'what's next for Germany?' after an election which saw the centre-right Union alliance between the conservative CDU and the CSU takes 28% of the vote. The CDU’s leader Friedrich Merz is in pole position to form the next government and become Chancellor but the far right AfD came second with 20% of the votes and polled especially strongly in the east of the country. Merz has talked about the need for Germany to wean itself off dependence on the US for defence.

Ukraine and Trump’s New World Order 27:39

29 days ago27:39

27:39

As this podcast was recorded, European heads of state were holding an emergency summit in Paris having been blindsided by President Trump’s apparent willingness to enter negotiations with Putin about the future of Ukraine without President Zelensky. The US has indicated that any military assistance it does give to Kyiv will be dependent on access to its mineral deposits, but Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has ruled out the country’s NATO membership, Sir Keir Starmer has said the UK is willing to commit troops to a peace keeping force if a settlement can be reached, but there’s a bigger picture at play here…the reshaping of the world in accordance with the dictates of MAGA. Trump and his accomplices see a world in which major powers operate spheres of influence – so that the Americas belong to the US and Eastern Europe is Russia’s...the people of Taiwan must be feeling very twitchy right now. As for Europe, the President has made it clear that we’ll have to make a far greater contribution to our defence – at the same time as hobbling our economy with tariffs. When it comes to freedom, is seems that America is no longer the Great Protector. Instead it’s the Great Protectionist.
