Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast's news bulletin reported that four people killed in a house fire in Merseyside on Tuesday had been named as Alicia Braben, 36, Leo Braben, 16, Ellis Braben, 8, and Prudence Braben, 7, with the family describing an unimaginable loss. The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, said migrant landings on UK beaches were not acceptable and ordered an urgent review after two boats reached Kent without interception; 21 people were detained yesterday and several hundred people continued attempts to cross in small boats. The Kremlin accused Andy Burnham of stirring anti-Russian sentiment after he announced a new British centre to tackle online disinformation, which he said would work with intelligence agencies, police and social media companies. Two RAF pilots were treated for minor injuries after ejecting from a training aircraft that crashed in Anglesey near RAF Valley Station, and Andy Burnham said he would review Labour's Chagos deal after Donald Trump called the agreement to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius terrible, while Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said the government was reviewing the deal. The bulletin also reported that Air Vice Marshal Jamie Thompson, head of UK Space Command, had been suspended amid an investigation into an alleged serious sexual offence, and that Scotland's drug deaths had risen by 11% to more than 1,100, with synthetic opioids implicated in almost 250 deaths.
In the programme, the Centre for Migration Control's Robert Bates was reported to have requested Ministry of Justice figures on crimes committed by migrants by nationality; the MoJ refused, arguing that the rights of affected data subjects outweighed disclosure, while the Information Commissioner's Office had ruled the data should be released and the MoJ was challenging that decision. Discussion referred to Denmark publishing sex crime conviction figures showing overrepresentation of Iraqis, Afghans, Syrians, Somalis and Iranians, and to a government statement citing nearly 12,000 foreign national offenders removed since last July, up 41%, and legal changes allowing earlier deportation. Andy Burnham's UN speech and proposed national centre for information defence were then discussed, including the Kremlin's criticism and concerns about a potential Ministry of Truth, free speech, foreign bot farms, exposure and regulation. The programme also covered a second beach landing in two days, a dinghy towed away near Samphire Hoe by Dover, 1,200 crossings that week, protests in Gosport and questions about how boats evaded drones and spotter planes.
Later, the broadcast discussed bond markets, reporting worse borrowing figures, rising national debt and annual interest repayments of 110-120 billion pounds, with ten-year rates around 5.4% and two-year rates around 5.5%, and the effect on mortgages and refinancing. Guests debated the need for growth, housing investment and domestic defence manufacturing, including a proposal to build a Land Rover replacement in Dagenham.

data subjects, by which I mean the migrants, outweigh the legitimate interests in disclosure of the requested information. So what they're basically saying is the rights of people who've come here, perhaps illegally, matter more than you being told the truth. At least I think I've got that right. Now in Denmark, it's quite different. In Denmark, they publish the figures.

2025 alone. And you can see from that graph, Iraqis, Afghans, Syrians, Somalis and Iranians are all much overrepresented compared to the native Danish population. So, folks, if they won't give us the figures, what are they hiding? Tweet hashtag Farage on GB News or email Farage at GB News dot com.

Charged quote Ministry of Justice fights court bid to release migrant crime data
You know, they're talking about saving money, but actually they're going to spend far more money on this court process than they ever would have just producing the data, because that is how desperate they are to avoid telling us the truth about migrant crime. So, David, what happened? I mean, I can see the series this has gone through. What happens next?

don't want us to know the truth because they fear it will inflame tensions that do exist? I think so. I mean, I think in everything the British state does, we see that it cares more about the rights and interests of foreigners than it does about the British people. You know, we saw that last night in Hampshire with dozens of police vehicles escorting those coaches,

and all these things. It's almost as if the government fears us knowing the truth, and in particular here, we're talking about sexual crimes, and we're talking about men who come from countries in which, frankly, women aren't even second class citizens. The truth, this is a cover up, isn't it? No, I don't think it's a cover up.

Contested quote Andy Burnham makes first UN address as Prime Minister
All it takes is for someone at the top to say actually we are going to clamp down on this disinformation and you could end up very quickly with bad outcomes. It is a kind of ministry of truth. The Soviets did this. They had one newspaper and that was the state organ and everything else was disqualified. Rather like the adjacent end of a doubt.

to take control or take powers that they should not have and then very rapidly you get a situation where essentially you have got a state censor who is deplatforming, cancelling effectively opinions they do not like. And that in an environment, John, where a lot of people now genuinely think there is two-tier that exists in this country. Two-tier policing, two-tier justice,
