Rachel Reeves' Great Escape

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state this week:

• Senior Labour figures call for U-turn on refusal to hold national enquiry into rape gangs. 
• The UK economy collapses while Rachel Reeves leaves for China. And Andrew Lawrence's ten step to fix the problem.
• Meta to end third-party fact-checking.
• Partial Church of England exodus to Bluesky.
• And the political fallout over the Californian wildfires. Is climate change or DEI to blame?

All that and a bit more as ever. Enjoy!
