Donald Trump tears into Sir Keir Starmer over Britain’s response to the Iran conflict, as Jeremy Kyle asks why the Prime Minister keeps flip-flopping over military support, air bases and Britain’s role alongside America. With Reform MP Sarah Pochin weighing in, the show digs into whether Starmer’s biggest weakness is not just indecision, but a total failure to project leadership at a time of global instability.
Jeremy also tackles the eye-watering state of Britain’s finances and priorities, as the debate turns to welfare, defence spending and the growing fear that the UK is dangerously exposed in an increasingly hostile world. Sarah Pochin and Sun columnist Trevor Kavanagh lay out why they believe Britain has become weaker, softer and less prepared, while Jeremy argues that years of political drift have left the country vulnerable abroad and overstretched at home.

Jeremy Kyle reacts to Sir Keir Starmer facing mounting criticism after reports that President Donald Trump has excluded Britain from key diplomatic discussions on the escalating Iran crisis. With tensions rising across the Middle East, Jeremy asks whether the UK–US “special relationship” is weakening and what it means for Britain’s global influence.
Jeremy is joined by former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and General Sir Nick Parker, former Commander-in-Chief of UK Land Forces, to assess the military reality behind the headlines. As conflict intensifies and allies ramp up their deployments, they warn Britain’s armed forces face growing questions over funding, readiness and whether the UK still has the credible deterrent needed in a more dangerous world.
The programme also tackles a major political row over proposals to offer migrants up to £40,000 to leave the UK and return to their home countries. Jeremy speaks to Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s Shadow Home Secretary, as critics say the plan could be costly and open to abuse, while supporters argue it could reduce pressure on the asylum system.
