Day two of Labour's explosive civil war erupts as Julia Hartley-Brewer hunts the source of the vicious briefing blitz: was it Morgan McSweeney, Starmer's embattled chief of staff, facing sack calls from furious cabinet ministers after No.10's botched "stop Wes" ambush on Health Secretary Wes Streeting? With polls tanking and the Budget looming, is Starmer's grip slipping toward a full-blown leadership coup? Joined by Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice, who drops a bombshell: he knows of four separate leadership teams plotting in the shadows of the cabinet, sharpening knives for the inevitable takedown. Plus, Streeting fires a broadside at the BMA "cartel" for "morally reprehensible" strikes over pay demands—slated to cost the NHS £240m in chaos—while urging "work-shy Britain" to ditch the sofas and storm back to the office to rebuild productivity.

The Queen of Westminster exposes a seething Labour leadership coup, with whispers circulating that Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood are plotting to oust Keir Starmer post-Budget amid cratering polls and No. 10 infighting. Streeting fires back, slamming "toxic culture" in Downing Street and denying any "Celebrity Traitors"-style betrayal, while allies warn Starmer's ready to fight to the finish. Then, Justice Secretary David Lammy drops a bombshell: 91 prisoners accidentally freed since April 1st in a jailbreak farce, with three still on the run—including a foreign national drug baron who's evaded capture since August.

The Queen of Westminster returns with unrelenting fury at BBC boss Tim Davie, who—hours after his shock resignation over the Panorama Trump speech scandal—rallied staff to "fight for our journalism" amid damning evidence of bias, including doctored footage falsely framing Trump as inciting the Capitol riot. As Trump threatens a $1bn lawsuit against the Beeb, Julia demands: is this defiance or denial? She also rips into Labour's latest capitulation, with a High Court ruling greenlighting illegal migrants housed at Epping's Bell Hotel despite furious local protests, a migrant sex assault scandal, and costs spiralling to £2.1bn a year. Joined by Spiked Online's Tom Slater and Baroness Kate Hoey (ex-Labour MP and Culture Minister), it's a no-holds-barred dissection of media rot and migrant madness. Hosted on Acast.
