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.
