Revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Tom Pelham sit down to talk about the biggest events in church and state. This time:

• Controversy around incoming Archbish Sarah Mullaly: did she follow up safeguarding dossier sufficiently before London priest committed suicide?
• The Church of England says Christmas is not cancelled in new promotional video. But who was saying it was?
• Tommy Robinson carol service in London. We bring you eyewitness reports from progressives who actually went along to see for themselves what it was like.
• Reform open “Christians for Reform” group with service at London church. But how does this square with their welcoming of “producer of adult content” Bonnie Blue?
• And Lord Falconer says that being pregnant would not be a bar to euthanasia in the House of Lords. A new low for this nation?

Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down with equally out-of-step cleric Sam Norton. Rev Sam is a "green" climate sceptic, a former Brexit MP candidate and advocate for what he calls "civic nationalism". In this special interview we cover the following topics:

• Sam's early work for the Department of Environment and how he became a "Green" Sceptic.
• Peak Oil and Limits to Growth.
• Left-Hemisphere Capture and how to break out of it.
• The interplay between politics and religion.
• Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) and why the IPCC's approach is fundamentally flawed.
• Sam's involvement in the Brexit Party.
• "Civic Nationalism" and the difference between Steve Laws and Tommy Robinson.

All that and a little more as always!
