Brexit vindicated? Net migration COLLAPSES as Starmer stays silent

Fraser Nelson joins Chopper’s Political Podcast to make a startling claim: the UK could hit net zero migration by Christmas, without Labour even intending it.


He breaks down how the “Boris wave” is ending, why the Office for Budget Responsibility got it wrong, and how Brexit has quietly handed Britain real control of its borders at last.


Nelson also warns Keir Starmer is sitting on a huge political success he refuses to talk about, and could even blow it by reopening free movement through EU youth mobility schemes.

Farage's Reform 'will implode on first contact with reality' rather than form a successful government, says Sir Geoffrey Cox

Reform UK "will implode on the first contact with reality, like a bubble blown from a child's wand" rather than form a government able to run the country successfully, a former Conservative Cabinet minister has said.


Sir Geoffrey Cox, Attorney General between 2018 and 2020, said that Reform did not have the "regimental tradition to be able to face the enemy".


Critics say that Reform could not match the Tories for the necessary organisation and experienced leaders to set up and run a Government if as polls suggest it wins the next general election, expected in 2029.


Cox, 65, told today's Chopper's Political Podcast: "Reform will implode on the first contact with reality, like a bubble blown from a child's wand. 


"It simply won't be able to maintain the discipline and coherence that will be required to fulfill this mission. I respect a lot of those in it. I like a lot of them, but you need regimental tradition to be able to face the enemy."

Additional topics include the role of technology in public service delivery, historic debates on national identity systems, and comparisons with previous attempts to introduce ID cards in the United Kingdom.

Nigel Farage has a 50/50 chance of becoming the next Prime Minister, a former Tory MP who defected to Reform UK has said.


Chris Green, 52, the former Conservative MP for Bolton West from 2015 to 2024, told Chopper's Political Podcast that he had not yet decided whether to stand as a candidate for Reform at the next general election.


Green is one of three ex-Conservative MPs who lost their seats at last year's general election and have now jumped ship to Reform UK. The other two were former deputy Tory party chairman Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici.

Shabana Mahmood's immigration crackdown might be sabotaged by Home Office officials, a former Number 10 adviser to Rishi Sunak has warned.

Jack Sellers, who worked for Sunak in Downing Street when he was Conservative Prime Minister, also suggested that for the Home Secretary's plan to be a success boat crossings would have to halve next year. So far 38,000 people have crossed the Channel illegally.

Will the BBC use taxpayer cash to fund Trump's $1billion lawsuit?

Beat the system with TallyMoney. Gold you can spend. Discover more here:

https://click.tallymoney.com/A64P/df08xa5e #ad


Licence fee payers' money must not be used to pay off Donald Trump by the BBC over the Panorama editing scandal, former Conservative Culture secretary Sir John Whittingdale has said.


Whittingdale told Chopper's Political Podcast that the BBC had to tell Trump that using the licence fee to pay compensation to the US President would be unacceptable.


On Monday, the President had threatened the corporation with a $1billion-valued lawsuit over the "biased" footage, which aired in a Panorama documentary before his 2024 election triumph.


He gave it until 10pm on Friday to apologise and offer a settlement figure - or face his lawyers in a Florida court.


Since then Trump has now said it is his "obligation" to sue the BBC for defamation after the broadcaster allegedly doctored footage of him in a speech.


Asked about the scandal, Whittingdale said: "They [the BBC] did do him [Trump] a grave injustice. And he is entitled to have that apology. Now, the billion dollar lawsuit - we know Trump. He loves a sort of headline, and he's a businessman.


"If the BBC said, 'look, we absolutely got this wrong. We really do apologise. But you've got to understand that this is not our money. It's paid for by the British taxpayer' and we would have real problems.


"And if the British government made it clear that they were very sympathetic to the request that Donald Trump should accept the apology..."

No stitch-up: Jess Phillips, justice, and the grooming gangs inquiry

Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips will not allow there to be "a stitch up" over the grooming gangs scandal, one of her key Labour allies has said, as five victims said she should not have to resign.


Phillips position as the minister in charge of the grooming gangs inquiry is under threat after four victims quit a panel advising the setting up of the statutory grooming gangs inquiry and called for Phillips to quit.


However Natalie Fleet, Labour MP for Bolsover, backed Phillips and said she was intent on delivering justice for the victims.


Phillips has campaigned successfully for a law change which comes into force on Monday to stop rapists who make their victims pregnant from having access to their children.

Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, the treasurer of the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs which helps to select future leaders, said Johnson should be "seen and not heard".

New digital ID card will not be known as 'BritCard', says No10 as support plummets

The Government's new digital identity card will not be known as a "BritCard", Downing Street has confirmed.


The digital identity card - unveiled last week by Sir Keir Starmer - was immediately dubbed "the BritCard" as that was the name given to the scheme by Labour Together, the influential left-wing think tank close to No10, in the summer.


The concept of a "BritCard" immediately led to pushback from politicians in devolved UK regions, notably Northern Ireland, where nationalists would have boycotted the scheme if it were known as a "BritCard".


In an interview with GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said he had been given assurances that the new ID card would not be called the BritCard.

Flags' campaign shows Brits are 'not embarrassed about being British' against 'snobbish' ruling class, says peer Claire Fox

People are attaching the St George's and union flags to lamp-posts to "express solidarity with each other" and show they are not "embarrassed about being British", a leading peer has said.


Baroness Fox of Buckley also criticised what she described as "a kind of form of snobbery that's basically anti working class" among the UK's ruling class towards ordinary Britons.


And this in turn led to an inability of the Establishment to comprehend why Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is so popular among voters.

Sir Mel also launched a personal attack on Farage saying that he could not build a team to run the country and his party was a "one man band".


Speaking to GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast, Sir Mel said he could not imagine any king of merger between the Conservatives and the Reform UK party.

Sir Keir Starmer will have "questions to answer" about the Crown Prosecution Service's failures over the grooming gangs scandal when he was the Director of Public Prosecutions, a shadow Cabinet minister has said.


Chris Philp, the shadow Home Secretary, said Starmer might be nervous over what an inquiry might uncover because that CPS had "early on" made some mistakes over prosecuting alleged perpetrators.


Starmer was in charge of the CPS as the chief prosecutor in England and Wales between 2008 and 2014 during a period when failures by the CPS over the grooming gangs scandal were highlighted in previous reports.
