The programme opened with an interview with Labour MP Graeme Downie, who defended the Prime Minister's holiday after two weeks in office, arguing that rested leaders make better decisions. He said small boat crossings had fallen since Labour took power and that the government was tackling the issue head-on, also welcoming the PM's planned tour of the country to hear from voters directly. Downie dismissed reported tensions between Number 10 and Treasury as normal creative tension and said the government would focus on priorities rather than opinion polls, declining to speculate on an early election.

Conservative shadow minister Mike Wood then criticised the government for cancelling the Rwanda scheme, calling for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights and for deporting illegal arrivals within a week. He blamed Labour for releasing thousands of prisoners early and for failing to build enough prison places, while also urging approval for the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil fields. Former army chief Lord Dannatt described uncontrolled borders as a national security threat, said Reform UK's Operation Fortress was unworkable without French cooperation, and warned that Russia might test NATO sooner than expected, adding that the UK was not ready for war and that defence funding was inadequate. Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice defended Operation Fortress, arguing the Navy would rescue and return migrants to France under international law, and confirmed the party was suing the National Crime Agency over leaked banking information. He also called for approving North Sea licences and fracking, and dismissed talk of a merger with Restore UK. Finally, Labour peer Lord Glasman praised the PM's outward engagement, stressed the importance of border control and prisoner release priorities, and paid tribute to the late columnist Rod Liddle, also criticising Cambridge University over the Jason Arday controversy.

    Charged quote Government revises early release scheme after probation warning

    the steps that are necessary, how it's going to work and make a real difference to actually get both of those under control. This government is looking at releasing thousands of criminals from October. They're doing that because your government over 14 years failed to build enough prison places, 500 or so net places, far fewer than were required.

    Charged quote Government revises early release scheme after probation warning

    But the reason why Labour have already let out 70,000 prisoners early, they're now going to let out thousands more next month, including rapists, including child grooming perpetrators, which they whipped Labour MPs to vote in favour of releasing these paedophiles and rapists. The reason that that's happening is actually we've got fewer prison places now than we did this time last year.

    Of course they shouldn't. And we need Andy Burnham to actually revoke this commencement order in total. Because although he's done a partial U-turn to make sure that most rapists, most child grooming perpetrators won't be eligible, too many will. And then there are other offences like manslaughter and actually other sexual offences,
