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

• England football fans chant completely unacceptable things at Keir Starmer.
• Riots in L.A. and Northern Ireland. Is civil war on the horizon for Western nations?
• Labour performs an inevitable U-turn on winter fuel allowance.
• The Church Commissioners finally spend some of their £11 billion fund on actual churches (sort of).

All that and much more as ever. Please enjoy!

Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time we ask if blasphemy laws have been reintroduced in Britain since the prosecution of protestor Hamit Coskun for burning a Koran and criticising Islam in public. Would such a thing happen to someone burning the Bible? And does the secular state have any defences against the incursion of Islamic sentiment into the public square?

All that plus:

- Biblical scholar and Anglican bishop NT Wright goes woke on abortion.

- Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick goes toe-to-toe with would-be Tube fare dodgers.

- And Labour MP seeks to make abortion legal up to birth.

Enjoy!

In a very special conversation episode, Rev Jamie Franklin sits down with Christine Padgham, former host of the Coronastories podcast, leader of Inform Scotland, mother, Covid sceptic, and friend of the Irreverend podcast.

It's about five years now since all the Covid madness kicked off. And a lot has happened in that time. In a wide-ranging conversation, we took a look back at it all as Christine explains how and why the experience eventually led her to Christ.
