  • Enoch Starmer
    May 16 2025

    Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time:

    - Enoch Starmer goes hard in on immigration in the UK. Nothing to do with Reform surging in the polls of course!

    - Romans rejoice as the first American Pope is elected! World leaders pledge their cooperation and what relevance does this have to the Anglican sphere?

    - Updated anti-bullying guidance in CofE schools: but is this what it seems or simply a Trojan Horse for a pernicious anti-Christian ideology?

    All that and a little bit more as ever!
