Jeremy Kyle discusses the recent Prime Minister’s Questions and the political landscape in the UK, including benefits reform and the Chagos Islands deal.

Jeremy Kyle unpacks Andy Burnham first Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday and the verdict - lacklustre.

She’s piling maximum pressure on the new PM, as experts warn the UK is sitting in a “deeply uncomfortable” fiscal mess ahead of a brutal upcoming Budget!  Despite this, we hear Burnham’s racing ahead with the controversial Chagos Islands surrender deal, with fresh talks set with Mauritius next week. Here’s an idea Mr Burnham, why not scrap the Chagos deal and save us all £35billion. One decision, one massive saving!  The PM is being urged to stop getting stitched-up by the French after they promised just a measly 45 extra cops to tackle the illegal boat crossings on the exact same day the famous Bayeux Tapestry is set to cross the Channel. His Majesty the King even chipped in, calling the tapestry loan a symbol of “trust” ha! But conference season has officially begun as Reform UK kick off theirs in Birmingham…
