Revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit down to talk about the biggest issue in church and state. This time:

• The UK Election continues in much the same way as Tories slip behind Reform in some polls. Are we now voting for the next opposition?
• Reform UK's "contract" with the British people.
• Rishi Sunak says he is not in principle opposed to euthanasia.
• The trouble with "Political Christianity" and our thoughts about "hoping" that Christianity might be true.

All that and much much more as ever.

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Tom Pelham sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time:

• A major screw-up in the election campaign for Rishi Sunak as he leaves D-Day celebrations early and gets pilloried for it.
• Nigel Farage is attacked with rubble.
• An analysis of the Tory and Lib Dem manifestos.
• And we debate the biggest question of all (sort of): what are you going to do with your vote?

All that, a bit on the vandalism of the King's portrait, President Bukele of El Salvador, the death of German Protestant theologian Jurgen Moltmann, and much much more!

• Cathedral watch as St Alban's tries out an inflatable obstacle course.
• The General Election gets a shake up (quite literally) as Nigel Farage re-enters the fray as Reform UK leader.
