SIMON AND URI DISCUSS A BUSY WEEK OF UK NEWS—AND THE WEIRDEST REACTIONS TO THE UPRISING IN IRAN The last three hunger strikers in the Filton campaign have called off their action, on the grounds that at least some of their demands had been secured, including improved treatment, and most significantly the collapse of a training deal between Britain and Israeli arms firm Elbit. Meanwhile over in Parliament we’ve had a day of drama as Robert Jenrick, the senior Tory who’s been bucking for Kemi Badenoch’s position by whinging about brown people and making videos about ticket dodging on the London Underground, was kicked out of the party and promptly joined Reform UK.

MIKE AND SIMON DISCUSS THE OPPORTUNISM WHICH HAS BEEN ON DISPLAY IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE STABBING ATTACK AT A MOSQUE IN MANCHESTER, AND THE MISERABLE TORY PARTY CONFERENCE After Manchester, we saw police, the media and Labour arguing that somehow this should justify not protesting against the butchery of Gaza, then shortly afterwards, the new Home Secretary started talking about bans against “regular protests” that quite obviously are directed against the Palestine protesters. Most recently Keir Starmer has gone so far as to suggest “inflammatory chants” should go in the ban pot. He plans to consult members of the Jewish community—presumably not the ones who attend the protests. Meanwhile at Tory conference, every headline that’s come out of the conference has been miserable. Not just the content but the tone. From nobody being there (including protesters) to Kemi Badenoch having to make excuses for Robert Jenrick’s racism.
