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?
