This weeks guest is Jonathan Tan , he is joint CEO of a charity called Greater Changes. I think this is a unique project.
Listen to their goal in supporting people into accommodation and employment, they support organisations. I have not heard of this before.
I can tell that Jonathan is dedicated to the cause, he is also an optimist which is needed in this type of work.
Here is the link to their website https://www.greaterchange.co.uk/

The Conservative Party could be facing the biggest defeat in their history. Did you know they are the most successful political party in this country yet several polls are predicting they might only be reduced to a shadow of what they are. Impossible you may think, yet in the 19th century there were only two political party's ,the Torys and the Whigs. Where have the Whigs gone?
On Monday the Rwanda Safety Bill was discussed in Parliament. Yes this is the law the government want to put through Parliament that will say that the country is safe to travel to. Ten amendments  came from the House of Lords, all of them were quashed. Why?
Can Sunak still be the Prime Minister when we have the General Election, they say that Penny Mordant is being groomed to talking over. Do you think it is wise?

The Conservatives are in a mess.
Lee Anderson has jumped ship, finally Sunak has said what he said was wrong.
Gove has announced that 5 groups would be assessed against the new definition of extremism. Funny I would say Braverman by herself is an example of extremism.
People are saying the Prime Minister should send the 10 million pounds back but he has 10 million reasons not to.
The group that invited Liz Truss to in the USA, but don't worry she got paid 20 thousand pounds.
A few more points but now I believe the election will the General Election will be delayed.

You may remember Anthony was one of my first guests, It was over two episodes.The first one was Tony the Addict and the second was Anthony the clean .
The question is how easy it is to stay clean if you face a knock back, Anthony has always been honest but he wants to stay clean and  not return to Tony the Addict. How many of us go back to bad habits when things do not go right.
Anthony has not. This should be admired.

Our special guest this week is Phil Kerry CEO of  Horizons Youth Club, The subject this week is youth homelessness. We are addressing the 17-24 age bracket. The figures at present state there are 136 thousand , I suspect more.
Phil makes some interesting points, one is that a young person receiving benefit have the same bills a person above 24 but the benefit they receive are less. Is that right?
There should be more access to accommodation. Listen to this , it is IMPORTANT!!!!!!
Here is the petition, Phil mentioned please sign it https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/642986. Hwew]]t;cdbb. Here is the link to film  Johnny Go Home  https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&feature=shared&v=WSo88OOar94

This week I want you to listen to cases of racism
1/ Lee Anderson formerly Deputy Chair of the Conservatives stated that the Mayor of London was controlled Islamasists. He has not apologised for this statement. Why did he say it, I believe I know.
2/ Sue Ellen Braverman wrote in the Telegraph that this country is controlled by Islamasists. As Anderson had the whip removed , why is she allowed free rain?
3/ Liz Truss is in the USA, she is attending the a far right conference, People have been calling for the whip to be removed from her.
Finally the government are planning to put a bill through Parliament to give the police the power to stop "violent" demonstrations . The question is the interpretation of the word violent.
