Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham, Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit dow to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time:

Major new church survey reveals a high level of openness to robot ministers.
Starmer's first major speech reveals that he is going to try to tax us and bore us to death at the same time.
One-word Ofsted Reports scrapped and replaced by impenetrable, jargon-filled verbiage.
The CofE Commissioners decide not to turn defunct church building into mosque.
And across the pond: Trump disappointingly liberal on abortion whilst Kamala Harris gives first interview with predictable results.

All of that, plus much more, with your questions answers, including a query as to whether or not our atheist Prime Minister should be in charge of choosing bishops in the CofE.
