Keir Boredom

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

• Major new church survey reveals a high level of openness to robot ministers.
• Starmer's first major speech reveals that he is going to try to tax us and bore us to death at the same time.
• One-word Ofsted Reports scrapped and replaced by impenetrable, jargon-filled verbiage.
• The CofE Commissioners decide not to turn defunct church building into mosque.
• And across the pond: Trump disappointingly liberal on abortion whilst Kamala Harris gives first interview with predictable results.

All of that, plus much more, with your questions answers, including a query as to whether or not our atheist Prime Minister should be in charge of choosing bishops in the CofE.
