Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the big stories in Church and state and to offer a Christian perspective. This time:

• The last days of Keir Starmer's dark and dismal premiership. What, if anything, can we learn from the catastrophic failure of the PM and the Labour Party since coming into power?
• Rowan Williams says we should talk about the devil and stick to the supernatural, but is he entirely consistent about that?
• And Zack Polanski says that no nation has the right to exist. What is a Christian view on nationhood and sovereignty?

All that and a little bit more as ever!

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to give you the soundest take on recent events. This time:

• The latest on the Keir Starmer Mandelson debacle as I ask why the political discourse in Britain has degraded to such an extent.
• The Assisted Suicide bill fails in the House of Lords. The country is spared but how long until Leadbeater tries to resurrect the foul corpse?
• And Russell Brand has a new book on how to become a Christian. I comment on his appearance on Piers Morgan's Uncensored and his cringing inability to locate a passage in the Prophet Isaiah.

All that, your correspondence, hymn of the week, and a little more as ever.
