Afternoon Empire with Ian Collins
Bias, borders and the BBC

In this hard-hitting episode of The Ian Collins Show on Talk, Ian takes on two defining stories shaking Britain: the BBC’s internal collapse after Tim Davie’s shock resignation, and the migration mess that sees asylum seekers offered £100 a week to leave taxpayer-funded hotels.


Veteran broadcaster David Elstein, with over fifty years inside television — from the BBC to Channel 5 — joins Ian to expose the deep ideological fractures tearing through the BBC. Then Sonia Sodha, columnist and commentator, unpacks how the Corporation became “captured by minority gender ideology,” and what that says about modern media culture.


Between callers, Ian explores the asylum incentive scandal with Robert Bates from the Centre for Migration Control, asking whether paying migrants to leave is policy failure or pragmatic politics.


From BBC bias and newsroom infighting to Britain’s border breakdown, this episode pulls no punches on the state of the nation’s institutions — and the cost to the British taxpayer.

Afternoon Empire with Ian Collins
How Starmer’s Britain lost its pride

In this explosive episode of The Ian Collins Show on Talk, Ian examines a nation on edge: falling national pride, rising division, and a leadership class doubling down on ideology instead of unity.


As polls reveal a frightening collapse in national pride and growing divides between Brits and migrants, writer and trade unionist Paul Embery joins Ian to ask whether Sir Keir Starmer’s Britain has lost its identity.


Live from Rio, our COP30 reporter breaks down Starmer’s declaration that Britain is “all in” on Net Zero, even as taxpayers face mounting costs and energy pressures back home. Then Reem Ibrahim from the Institute of Economic Ideas dissects the chaos at Villa Park, where police clashed with football fans and Palestine protesters amid another surge of public unrest.


And former Scotland Yard superintendent Nusrit Mehtab exposes the latest Met Police racism scandal, after an internal review brands the force “institutionally racist” — once again shaking public trust in British policing.


Ian Collins brings the straight talk you won’t hear anywhere else — cutting through spin, ideology, and media noise to ask: is Britain breaking down under the weight of its own divisions?

The price of Labour: More Tax, More Crime, More Chaos

Host Ian Collins turns the spotlight on three urgent crises hitting Britain now: the new pay-per-mile tax for EVs, warnings of a crime surge under the National Police Chiefs’ Council about the sentencing bill, and a major security operation in Birmingham ahead of the Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv match amid anti-Semitic protests.


First, meet our EV-guest Jordan (the EV Guy), who explains how the pay-per-mile tax will hit EV drivers and British taxpayers alike. Next, we’re joined by former Justice Minister Dr Phillip Lee, dissecting law-and-order breakdown: how the sentencing overhaul could invite thousands more offences and unleash chaos on our streets. Then caller Leanne from Birmingham shares her live experience preparing for the match under heavy police deployment — more than 700 officers in place as anti-Semitic protests threaten public safety.


If you’re concerned about EV tax, pay-per-mile charges, British taxpayers, crime surge UK, sentencing bill, Labour Party law reform, Aston Villa Maccabi Tel Aviv Birmingham, anti-Semitic protests UK, police deployment, then this episode is a must-listen.

How the Left Broke Britain (and New York)

Episode 1 of the Afternoon Empire with Ian Collins exposes how left-wing politics, woke ideology, and weak leadership are breaking nations on both sides of the Atlantic. Ian Collins investigates how Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is pushing Britain toward economic chaos and cultural division - while New York’s far-left figurehead Zohran Mamdani drives the same woke experiment in America.


From Britain’s “sick note” crisis costing billions, to Labour’s education reforms turning classrooms into ideological battlegrounds, Ian and his guests reveal how the left's obsession with virtue politics is bankrupting common sense and taxpayers alike.


Joining Ian Collins are:

  • Chloe Dobbs, political commentator challenging the rise of woke culture.
  • Jonathan Gullis, former Conservative MP fighting back against Labour’s radical agenda.
  • Tom Rivers, veteran US broadcaster offering an American perspective from London.


Expect fearless conversation about Keir Starmer, Zohran Mamdani, woke Britain, education reform, UK politics, taxpayer spending, the culture wars, and the cost of progressive ideology.
