Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, with discussions expected to cover the wars in Iran and Ukraine, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the situation in Gaza. Miliband was asked about his past critical comments about Donald Trump, and the former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Darroch, said the personal tensions were unlikely to dominate the talks given the pressing global issues.
Joshua Bonehill-Payne, a convicted anti-Semite who had been selected as a Conservative council candidate in Somerset, withdrew his candidacy, saying he needed to show the Jewish community how much he regretted his past actions. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said she was sad he would not be given space to explain his position but that he would instead work with the party on tackling radicalisation as part of its Cultural and Integration Commission.
The police watchdog confirmed that firearms officer Martyn Blake, who fatally shot Chris Kaba in South London in 2022, will not face disciplinary proceedings. Temi Mwale from the Justice for Chris Kaba campaign criticised the decision, arguing it demonstrated a culture of police impunity and that the process had been delayed to benefit the officer.

Charged quote Convicted anti-Semite withdraws as Conservative council candidate
if we're going to stop extremism and anti-Semitism, we are going to need help from those people who were part of the problem but have now changed and are being part of the solution. Piling on them and trying to get them cancelled may be a sport for other parties, she says, but this is a different Conservative party.

and I think it just demonstrates what kind of policing they want to uphold in this country, and we should all be very concerned by this because they essentially are pushing for the police to have absolute impunity. But he was right, wasn't he? Because he did face a court case, this man, and he was cleared,

Now, that is no good for either the families of the victims or indeed the police officers or their families either, is it? Well, listen, the IOPC made a choice today. They didn't have to make that decision and they made the wrong choice. They chose to delay this case. They could have progressed with the disciplinary process as they announced in April 2025.

when they're on duty? I would argue that we have a system that has not really succeeded in meaningful accountability and the result of that is a culture of police impunity where they can do whatever they want to do. And we have hundreds, thousands of families who have been impacted by this type of violence

for 10 years, 20 years, some 30 years. It's clear, as there's never been a successful murder prosecution, there's very rarely even unlawful killing verdicts at inquests, that this country is unwilling to really hold police accountable when they use lethal force and when they take people's lives. Mark Rowley argues that that's because

And I would argue that the police should want the same thing. But really, what we're seeing today is just the push, as I said, for absolute impunity, which is very damaging and they've gone rogue. Okay, Temi Mwale from the Justice for Chris Kaba campaign. Good to get your thoughts today. Thank you very much for joining us.
