The Death of Drive: Why Britain Stopped Working
In this powerful episode of The Ian Collins Show on Talk, Ian asks whether Britain has lost its drive and its faith. With unemployment rising, businesses struggling to hire, and millions claiming benefits without ever needing to work, Ian unpacks the state of a nation in decline. Under Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves, more than 1,000 jobs a day are now being lost, while over 4 million people are on benefits exempt from seeking employment. Tina McKenzie MBE, Chair of Policy & Advocacy at the Federation of Small Businesses, joins Ian to explain how anti-enterprise policies and red tape are crushing entrepreneurs and stopping Britain from hiring again. Then, shifting from economics to faith, Bishop Ceirion Dewar from the Confessing Anglican Church explores the rise of Christian nationalism and why Britain’s churches are losing touch with people. “It’s not about the platform or the politics,” he says “it’s about the people.” From Starmer’s socialist paradise to a nation of non-workers, and from empty pews to failing policies, Ian Collins exposes the cultural and spiritual crisis shaping modern Britain.
