    DOES RICKY GERVAIS WRITE BURNHAM'S POLICIES?! UK IS A DARK, DARK COMEDY!

    DOES RICKY GERVAIS WRITE BURNHAM'S POLICIES?! UK IS A DARK, DARK COMEDY! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham #RickyGervais #UKIsASickComedy #HomeOffice #AsylumSeekers #IllegalImmigration #IllegalMigrants  You genuinely couldn't make this stuff up. The Home Office has produced a nine-page guide for asylum seekers explaining that rape is illegal, women have equal rights, sexual consent matters, domestic abuse is illegal and you cannot have sex with children under 16. Seriously?! If the Government believes some people arriving in Britain need to be TOLD these things, isn't that itself a massive warning sign? And what exactly is a pamphlet supposed to achieve? This feels like the ultimate case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Instead of another leaflet, another poster and another Government initiative, why aren't we having the much bigger debate about who is entering Britain, how they are vetted, where they are housed and what happens when they commit serious crimes? There have been horrific cases involving individual asylum seekers convicted of sexual offences. Those crimes have real victims — women and children whose suffering isn't remotely funny. That's why this becomes a dark, dark comedy rather than something we can simply laugh about.  For years, people raising legitimate questions about young undocumented men being accommodated in hotels, HMOs and other facilities have sometimes felt dismissed as racists or bigots. But asking questions about safeguarding, security and vetting is not the same thing as claiming every migrant is dangerous.  Meanwhile, what is Andy Burnham talking about? He's embraced TikTok politics, he's been talking about bread rolls, and today he's announcing another initiative — this time tackling fly-tipping. Of course fly-tipping matters. But Britain also faces enormous questions about borders, crime, prisons, housing and the cost of living. Are our politicians concentrating on the country's biggest priorities — or concentrating on producing the next social-media clip? It increasingly feels like we're trapped inside a Ricky Gervais dark comedy. Except this isn't Netflix. THIS IS BRITAIN. Join Jon Gaunt LIVE and tell me what YOU think. Is the Home Office pamphlet sensible information for newcomers — or does its very existence demonstrate how badly our immigration and integration policies have gone wrong? And has Andy Burnham got his priorities right?  GET INVOLVED. HAVE YOUR SAY. AND DON'T HOLD BACK.

    BURNHAM'S BONKERS BRITAIN! WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR HIS PROMISES?

    BURNHAM'S BONKERS BRITAIN! WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR HIS PROMISES? #JonGaunt #AndyBurnham #BurnhamsBonkersBritain #UKPolitics #SmallBoats UKBorders #PrisonCrisis #VeilBan #BurqaBan #Portugal Andy Burnham has barely got his feet under the table and already the promises are coming thick and fast. More spending. More schemes. More interventions. More announcements. MORE TIKTOK VIDEOS! But there is one very simple question that somebody has to ask: HOW THE HELL IS HE GOING TO PAY FOR IT ALL? Burnham is supposed to be running a COUNTRY — but increasingly he seems to be behaving like he's still a Mayor with a magic money tree. He's gone from MAYOR to MaRE — a NIGHTMARE! And while Burnham tries to please everybody, is he completely missing the priorities of millions of ordinary British people? Today Portugal has taken decisive action and enacted a ban on concealing faces in public, including full-face veils. Denmark has had a face-covering ban for years. Whatever you think of those policies, they raise a bigger question: could you imagine Burnham taking such a tough and potentially unpopular decision? Or is he fundamentally a PEOPLE PLEASER rather than a LEADER? Meanwhile Britain has a prison overcrowding crisis and a deeply controversial early-release policy. Our borders still aren't secure. We continue paying France millions while small boats continue crossing the Channel. And we're having a national argument about whether foreign nationals should have access to British welfare regardless of how much — or how little — they have contributed. IT'S BONKERS BRITAIN! Tonight I want to hear from YOU. What should Burnham's REAL priorities be? Where is the money coming from for his promises? Should benefits be based much more heavily on contribution? Should Britain follow Portugal and Denmark on face coverings? And is Burnham showing real leadership — or simply telling everybody what he thinks they want to hear?

    MAKE SPOONS BOSS TIM MARTIN HOME SECRETARY! ZERO TOLERANCE FOR YOBS!

    MAKE SPOONS BOSS TIM MARTIN HOME SECRETARY! ZERO TOLERANCE FOR YOBS! #Wetherspoons #TimMartin #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AntiSocialBehaviour #ZeroTolerance #Speakerphones #PublicTransport #UKNews #UKPolitics #BritishPubs FINALLY — SOME COMMON SENSE! Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin is cracking down on customers who blast music, videos and phone calls through their speakers without headphones. And I say: GOOD! ABOUT BLOODY TIME! Why should everyone else in a pub have to listen to your TikToks, your music or both sides of your speakerphone conversation? But here's the bigger question: why stop at Wetherspoons? Let's have the same ZERO TOLERANCE approach on buses, trains and in other public spaces. For too long we've tolerated selfish, intimidating and downright anti-social behaviour because nobody wants to confront it. We've allowed a minority of yobs to make everyday life miserable for everybody else. Enough! In fact, forget Wetherspoons — MAKE TIM MARTIN HOME SECRETARY! Britain needs to rediscover something very simple: standards, manners and consequences. I want to hear from YOU. Is Tim Martin bang on the money? Should speakerphones and loud videos be banned on public transport too? Have we become far too tolerant of anti-social behaviour? And is it time Britain embraced ZERO TOLERANCE again? Join Jon Gaunt LIVE at 6PM and have your say. No excuses. No softly-softly nonsense. Let's take back our pubs, buses, trains and streets from the anti-social minority! #Wetherspoons #TimMartin #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AntiSocialBehaviour #ZeroTolerance #Speakerphones #PublicTransport #UKNews #UKPolitics #BritishPubs #PubNews #LawAndOrder #BrokenBritain #HomeSecretary #StopAntiSocialBehaviour #Buses #Trains #BritishSociety #LiveDebate #FreeSpeech #GBNews #ReformUK #NigelFarage Wetherspoons, Tim Martin, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, anti social behaviour, zero tolerance, speakerphones, public transport, UK news, UK politics, British pubs, pub news, law and order, Broken Britain, Home Secretary, stop anti social behaviour, buses, trains, British society, live debate, free speech, GB News, Reform UK, Nigel Farage This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

    FERAL, FECKLESS & FREELOADERS: Is This What Britain Has Become?!

    FERAL, FECKLESS & FREELOADERS: Is This What Britain Has Become?! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #FeralFecklessFreeloaders #UKPolitics #BrokenBritain #WelfareReform #ReformUK What the hell is happening to Britain? We seem to have created a country where the feral, the feckless and the freeloaders are increasingly put ahead of the millions of decent people who work hard, pay their taxes, obey the law and play by the rules.  And if saying that "triggers" you — GOOD! Because tonight at 6PM LIVE, I want a proper debate. We'll talk about the extraordinary case surrounding the killer of Henry Nowak, including reports about prison visits involving his mother, who is herself behind bars!  Then there's welfare. Reform UK wants benefit reform — but how far should it go? When does a welfare state designed as a safety net become a lifestyle choice? And why are politicians so terrified of even having that conversation?  Meanwhile, we get ridiculous warnings about barbecue safety while roads are crumbling, public services are struggling and ordinary taxpayers increasingly wonder what exactly they are getting for their money. And then there's the NHS. We were promised a National Health Service. Has it become a World Health Service? Is it wrong even to ask whether people who have paid into the system should come first? These are uncomfortable questions. But somebody has to ask them. Has Britain become a country where politicians worry more about offending people than standing up for the law-abiding majority? Or am I just a grumpy old git who needs to calm down?! YOU decide. Join me, Jon Gaunt, LIVE at 6PM and get involved in the comments. 🔥 FERAL? 🔥 FECKLESS? 🔥 FREELOADERS? 🔥 OR HAS GAUNTY FINALLY LOST THE PLOT? I want to hear from YOU. LIKE. SUBSCRIBE. SHARE.

    SICK OF BURNHAM'S PR! IS ANDY JUST STARMER WITH BETTER HAIR?

    SICK OF BURNHAM'S PR! IS ANDY JUST STARMER WITH BETTER HAIR?  #AndyBurnham #KeirStarmer #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #Burnham #IllegalImmigration #SmallBoats #RapeGangs #PCAndrewHarper  "The thing I hear more than anything when I'm out talking to people is just how expensive everyday life has become." To which I say: Don't they talk about illegal immigration? The Muslim rape gangs? The early release of rapists, murderers and cop killers? Don't they mention the murder of PC Andrew Harper? Really, Andy? You tell us you're travelling around the country meeting "real people" and listening to what they have to say. And yet apparently none of this comes up? You're not spinning us a yarn, are you, Andy? Because that brings me to the other thing I'm already sick to the back teeth of — ANDY BURNHAM'S PR SPIN. I'm sick of the TikToks. I'm sick of the carefully cultivated "man of the people" shtick. The T-shirt. The no tie. The rolled-up sleeves. Look at me, I'm Andy, I'm just like you. Give me a break!  Strip away the presentation and tell me: what is actually different between Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer? Apart from the fact that Andy still has black hair! Britain deserves better than this. It really does. We don't need another politician selling us an image. We don't need another social-media performance. We don't need another bloke telling us how much he's listening. WE NEED SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. Stop telling us you're listening and start telling us what you're going to DO. What are you going to do about illegal immigration? What are you going to do about the prison crisis and dangerous criminals being released early? What are you going to do to ensure the victims of grooming and rape gangs finally get justice? And what are you actually going to do to make ordinary people feel safe in their own country? Because then, just when you think British politics can't get any more ridiculous, what happens? We get the nuclear-alert system on our mobile phones — and we're being told how to cook our bloody bangers! Seriously?! Is this what government has been reduced to? We've got a country facing enormous problems and apparently somebody in government thinks what Britain really needs is instructions on how to barbecue a sausage. Forget the bangers. Get a grip on Britain. And here's the question I keep coming back to: ARE THE GROWN-UPS EVER GOING TO BE BACK IN CHARGE?

    NOTHING WORKS IN UK! BECAUSE POLITICIANS HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB

    NOTHING WORKS IN UK! BECAUSE POLITICIANS HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #CareerPoliticians#BrokenBritain #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #PCAndrewHarper  Why does NOTHING seem to work properly in Britain anymore? The borders. The prisons. The NHS. Housing. Roads. Water. Government IT. The criminal justice system. Major infrastructure. We pay more and more tax — but where are the results? So tonight I'm asking a deliberately provocative question: IS ONE OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT TOO MANY OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE COUNTRY HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB IN THE REAL WORLD?  Look at the people at the top of British politics. How many have spent a substantial part of their working lives running a business, meeting a payroll, selling something, making something, working on a building site, driving a van, working in a factory, serving customers or simply dealing with the pressures ordinary workers and employers face every day? Instead we've created the PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN. University. Political researcher. Think tank. Union. Special adviser. MP. Minister. Cabinet. Politics isn't something they enter after experiencing life. POLITICS IS THEIR LIFE. And I think that matters. Where are the awkward, independent-minded MPs prepared to tell their own party: "That's complete rubbish and I'm not voting for it"? Where are the characters? The entrepreneurs? The people who've actually succeeded — or failed — outside Westminster? Last night millions of phones across England and Wales suddenly started screaming with an Emergency Alert warning about the extreme wildfire risk. Fine. Fire chiefs believed the danger justified it. But it got me thinking. WHAT DOES THIS GOVERNMENT CONSIDER AN EMERGENCY? We're in August. It's extremely hot. Most of us can work that out. But what about the prisons? What about the possibility of serious offenders being released early because we haven't built enough prison places? What about the extraordinary controversy over two men convicted of the manslaughter of PC Andrew Harper potentially qualifying for early release? What about foreign national offenders occupying prison places when the Government should be doing everything possible to remove those who can lawfully be deported? And what about the Channel? More than 3,000 people had crossed in small boats in the first fortnight of Andy Burnham's premiership, despite his promise to be "relentless" on the issue. These are the things many ordinary people are talking about. So why does Westminster so often appear to be having a completely different conversation? THEY DON'T LIVE IN OUR WORLD. And perhaps that's why they're so frightened of politicians who can bypass Westminster and connect directly with voters. Whatever you think of Nigel Farage, he understands how to communicate with people who believe the political establishment neither listens to them nor understands them. Perhaps that's the real political divide now. Not simply LEFT versus RIGHT. THE POLITICAL CLASS versus EVERYONE ELSE I want YOUR views.  Is Britain suffering because we've created a generation of career politicians? Should MPs have substantial real-world experience before entering Parliament? Would Parliament be better with more builders, nurses, engineers, soldiers, shopkeepers, farmers, factory workers and entrepreneurs — and fewer professional politicians?  Or is the whole idea nonsense and political experience exactly what ministers need? JUST ASKING! Join me LIVE and don't sit on the fence. 🔥 IS THE PROFESSIONAL POLITICAL CLASS BREAKING BRITAIN? LIKE. SHARE. SUBSCRIBE. And get into the comments — I want this to be a proper argument.  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #ProfessionalPoliticians #CareerPoliticians #Westminster #BrokenBritain #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #ReformUK #Labour #UKGovernment #Immigration #IllegalImmigration #SmallBoats #StopTheBoats #PrisonCrisis #EarlyRelease #PCAndrewHarper #EmergencyAlert #BorderCrisis #PoliticalClass #BritishGovernment #LiveDebate #PoliticsLive #FreeSpeech  Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, UK politics, British politics, professional politicians, career politicians, Westminster, Broken Britain, Andy Burnham, Nigel Farage, Reform UK, Labour, UK Government, immigration, illegal immigration, small boats, Stop the Boats, prison crisis, early release, PC Andrew Harper, emergency alert, border crisis, political class, British Government, live debate, politics live, free speech 🗣️ Join the Debate Comment below, share your view, and become part of the conversation.

    BURNHAM'S DELIBERATELY MISSING THE POINT! STOP MOVING ILLEGALS — STOP THE BOATS!

    BURNHAM'S DELIBERATELY MISSING THE POINT! STOP MOVING ILLEGALS — STOP THE BOATS!  #COBRA #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #ReformUK #BorderCrisis #JonGaunt #AndyBurnham #StopTheBoats #IllegalImmigration  Andy Burnham is playing a blinder — because once again the political and media conversation is focused on the WRONG QUESTION. We're being encouraged to argue about WHERE illegal migrants should be housed. Cities? Towns? Rural communities? Hotels? Camps? But I'm asking something much more fundamental: WHY ARE THEY STILL COMING ACROSS THE CHANNEL IN THE FIRST PLACE?  Successive governments have failed to control Britain's borders — and now ordinary communities are effectively being told they have to "do their bit" and accept the consequences. No! POLITICIANS NEED TO DO THEIR BIT. Secure the border. Stop the boats. Process claims rapidly. Remove people who have no legal right to remain. And create a system that actually deters illegal crossings rather than endlessly managing them after they've happened. That's why I believe Burnham is deliberately missing the point. By turning today's argument into a row about whether migrants should be moved from cities into rural areas, the debate shifts away from the enormous political failure at the heart of this crisis: BRITAIN HAS LOST CONTROL OF ITS BORDERS.  And before somebody inevitably starts screaming "racist" or "far-right", let's be absolutely clear. Wanting secure borders isn't racist. Wanting immigration laws enforced isn't racist. Wanting failed asylum seekers removed isn't racist. And believing governments should plan properly instead of constantly firefighting crises isn't extremist.  The same principle applies to our prisons. We don't want dangerous prisoners released early simply because politicians failed to provide enough prison places. When the controversy involves men convicted over the killing of PC Andrew Harper, the public understandably wants to know why the system reached this position. Governments know roughly how many prisoners they have. They know roughly how many people are entering the asylum system. SO PLAN AHEAD! BUILD THE CAPACITY! CONTROL THE BORDER! And then, to cap it all, Burnham is reportedly calling a COBRA meeting over the hot weather. IT'S AUGUST! Where's that emergency mentality over the Channel? Where's the COBRA-level urgency over prison capacity? Where's the detailed plan to stop illegal crossings rather than simply deciding where people should be housed once they're here? Today I want to know what YOU think. JOIN ME AT 3.30 TODAY 🔥 IS BURNHAM DELIBERATELY MISSING THE POINT? 🔥 WHY SHOULD COMMUNITIES HAVE TO "DO THEIR BIT" FOR A PROBLEM POLITICIANS CREATED? 🔥 SHOULD THE PRIORITY BE STOPPING THE BOATS RATHER THAN MOVING MIGRANTS AROUND BRITAIN? 🔥 AND WHY ARE POLITICIANS ALWAYS MANAGING CRISES INSTEAD OF PREVENTING THEM?  Join me, Jon Gaunt, LIVE on Jon Gaunt TV for a completely interactive debate.
