BREAKING: BRITAIN’S BOILING POINT EXPOSED – ANDREW EBORN ON TIMES RADIO! Award-winning international broadcaster and futurist Andrew Eborn returns to Times Radio with his trademark razor-sharp analysis – cutting through the chaos like only he can. From explosive tax windfalls to NHS meltdown and absurd app glitches, Eborn delivers the unfiltered truth Britain is searching for. Don’t miss this must-hear showdown of headlines!
“THE GOVERNMENT IS RAKING IT IN!” Rachel Reeves’ £20 Million-a-Day Tax Windfall – Iran War Fuel Crisis Goldmine? Timeline: US bombing of Iran last month → oil & gas prices spike → Treasury now pockets £20 million EVERY DAY in extra levies. Rachel Reeves’ war dividend is funding the books while families feel the pinch at the pump. Should the government change course on taxes… or are we all secretly pleased the Treasury is finally doing better? Eborn asks the questions the nation is whispering
“DOCTORS STRIKE CHAOS LOOMS” – Starmer’s 48-Hour Ultimatum to BMA: Stand Firm or Cave? Timeline: 2023–2026: 15 strike rounds, 59+ days lost March 2026: BMA rejects 7.1% pay deal (plus 4,000 training posts) WITHOUT a member vote April 7–13 2026: Six-day Easter strike planned – hospitals ordered to keep 95% routine care Today: Starmer’s dramatic 48-hour deadline – call it off or lose the deal. Experienced doctors would hit £77,348 basic + £100k+ with overtime… but BMA demands full 2008 pay restoration (26% rise) citing Iran-war inflation. Have the BMA lost public support enough for the government to stand firm? Or should ministers give more to unions?
“CIVIL SERVANTS DEMAND MORE WFH” – Petrol Too Pricey for the Office? Perk or Fair Demand? Timeline: Post-COVID hybrid rules tightened by previous government → Labour keeps 60% office mandate (3 days/week) → Iran war sends diesel to 181.2p/litre (40-month high). PCS General Secretary Fran Heathcote demands immediate rule change: “Scrap the 60% mandate – it’s out of step with the financial pressures from the conflict.” TaxPayers’ Alliance fires back: “Tell the pen-pushers to grow up – they already earn more than private sector with better pensions!” Should civil servants be allowed more home working because of fuel costs… or is that a perk the rest of us can only dream of?
“PETROL PUMPS APP GOES ROGUE!” – Stations Floating in the Sea… and Togo?! Timeline: Government Fuel Finder scheme goes mandatory last month → stations must update prices in 30 minutes → RAC Foundation reveals 116 stations plotted in the sea, rivers, South Atlantic or Togo (West Africa). One Berkshire garage now appears on the London Eye; another in the South Pole! 123 stations frozen since Iran bombing began. A hilarious (and worrying) tech fail that could save drivers £40 a year… if only it worked! Eborn brings the laughs and the fixes.
Andrew Eborn – the voice Britain trusts – joins Times Radio to debate it all LIVE. Will the government blink? Is the NHS on the brink? And why on earth is your local petrol station now in Togo? Tune in – you won’t want to miss a second!
