Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5
The biggest debates with Jeremy Vine, Storm Huntley, Alexis Conran, Vanessa Feltz and celebrity guests live on Channel 5,weekdays 9.15am-15:00pm
- Should people with ADHD be allowed to use disability passes? Alton Towers has banned visitors with certain health conditions - like ADHD and anxiety - from skipping the main queues. What do you think of this?
- At what age should grown-up kids move out? First, we had the “tradwife”, and now we have “trad-sons”. It’s the new trend to see young adults stay at home, helping out with traditional household chores in return for free rent. What do you think of this?
- Is it wrong to have a guard dog at home? They’re trained to bite, hold and release, and demand is growing for them across the UK. Should they ever be kept in ordinary homes?
- Should the Queen speak out on the Andrew scandal? Yesterday, Camilla ignored questions about Epstein's victims. But considering she advocates for victims of sexual assault, is it time she spoke up?
- Should we weigh workers to combat obesity? In Japan, employees are weighed annually and referred to a doctor if they've gained weight. Obesity rates in Japan are five times lower. Nutritionist Tim Spector states we need to start doing the same. What are your thoughts?
- Should Andrew's royal staff go on strike? The former prince has moved into a temporary home at Sandringham, but staff have been told they can refuse to serve him if they feel uncomfortable. What do you think of this?
- Is the Mandelson scandal the final nail in the coffin for Starmer? Does he need to go? The PM has been grilled on how much he knew when he appointed Mandelson two years ago. He says Mandelson lied, but there are still questions over the vetting process. Do you think Starmer's days are numbered?
- Do we need smoking-style cancer warnings on ultra-processed foods? Researchers have said they have more in common with cigarettes than with fruit or veg, and should have tighter regulation. Do you think warnings about cancer on unhealthy food choices would be a good solution?
- Is it selfish to take toddlers to posh restaurants? Former BBC newsreader Jan Leeming has claimed a screaming child ruined her birthday lunch at a boutique hotel restaurant. She said if the family can afford to eat there, they can afford to get a babysitter too. Is she right?
- Should the government wipe out some or all student debt? Almost half of Brits say something has to be done as graduates have been paying above-inflation interest rates that are financially crippling. Do you think the government should intervene?
- Should prison conditions be tougher for violent inmates? The Deputy Prime Minister has said the supermax-style units would be similar to those used in US jails, with the most dangerous extremists facing stricter conditions. Is that a good idea?
- Is it time to bring back the old-fashioned quill pen? They've been used for writing since the 6th century, but have been given a boost recently, thanks to the gothic look of the recent series of The Traitors. Have you tried using one?
- Should there be discounts for paying in cash? A pub in Herefordshire is knocking 5% off food and drink to punters who use notes and coins instead of cards, which costs the business money. Do you think this is a good way of keeping cash alive?
- Do Andrew and Lord Mandelson shame Britain over links to Jeffrey Epstein? The former Prince is gone from his Windsor mansion. Lord Mandelson is facing a criminal investigation and has been forced to resign from the House of Lords. Have you lost faith in British institutions?
- Should we dob in drivers who drop litter? Buckinghamshire is among a handful of local authorities asking for video evidence from the public to help tackle a problem that costs more than £1 billion a year to clean up. Would you shop a fellow driver?
- Is it time to stop using the phrase 'hands-on dad'? Is the term 'hands-on dad' patronising? Or maybe you're thinking, what's all the fuss about?
- Is it right to have mandatory knife scanners in all schools? The mother of a 15-year-old boy killed by a fellow pupil in an attack is calling on all schools and colleges to introduce knife scanners. Do you think it would help protect students?
- Should Beatrice and Eugenie come out publicly and stand by Fergie? It's been a tumultuous time for the ex-Duchess of York as more shocking Epstein revelations come out today. Should Sarah Ferguson's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, come out and stand by their mum?
- Should we let staff have siestas? New research shows that a 45-minute nap boosts your brain and can actually make you more productive. Many of us are working longer days; would we all be better off if we could grab 40 winks?
- Should rich Brits have to pay a higher licence fee? It's one option being considered by BBC bosses. Wealthier households would pay more, while poorer ones would pay less. It could be based on how much your property is worth. Is that fair?
- Is the Mandelson scandal damaging Starmer? Lord Mandelson has been reported to police for allegedly leaking sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein. He'd already quit the Labour Party as he wanted to avoid "further embarrassment". Are you now questioning the PM's judgement?
- Are Brits too quick to call in sick? Today is National Sickie Day - statistically the day when more Brits call in sick than any other. Every year, hundreds of thousands of workers are reported absent on the first Monday in February. Are you one of them?
- Should all school children have access to free breakfast clubs? The government has said that from April, 300,000 more children will benefit from the scheme, and it's hoped it will one day be available at every primary school in England. What do you think of the scheme?
- Is it time to stop listening to Nigel Farage? Starmer has suggested that the Reform leader misled the country on Brexit. Does that mean we can't trust anything he says? Or are we yet to release the Brexit dividend?
- Would Keir Starmer or Angela Rayner be a better Prime Minister? Rayner, who stepped back as Deputy Prime Minister over a tax row, has reportedly raised a £1 million war chest to launch her own leadership bid. Would you like to see her in charge?
- Should the King speak out against the former Prince Andrew? Shocking pictures of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouched over a woman on the floor were among the latest Epstein Files drop. Andrew's also facing a new legal threat from another alleged accuser. What do you think?
- Is it ok to name your child after yourself? A woman called Mary has gone viral after revealing she named her oldest daughter Mary... Then named her second, third and fourth daughters Mary too. What do you think of this?
- Should we boycott the World Cup? There are growing calls for fans to boycott the tournament and for teams to pull out. People weren't happy about the ticket prices, but now there's also concern over the use of ICE agents in the United States. What are you thinking?
- Should you have to pay to use public toilets? A council in North Yorkshire is considering charging people 50p, as it needs to fill a budget shortfall. Would you be happy to pay to spend a penny?
- Can we afford to keep giving energy handouts? Millions of families will get £150 off their bills for another five years. It'll help low-income households who are struggling with rising prices. How would you tackle the problem of high energy bills?
- Is it right to force banks to keep their branches open? Santander has announced plans to close 44 bank branches, putting nearly 300 jobs at risk. The bank says the decision reflects changing customer habits, with more people choosing to bank online. Is this really progress?
- Do we need bigger fines for parents who take their kids out of school during term time? Almost 500,000 fines were issued in England last year. This record-breaking number has left teachers up in arms. If it isn't working, should the Government try something else?
- Is Trump right to warn the UK over China? The President says it's "very dangerous" for Britain to do business with China. Meanwhile, Starmer is in Shanghai today as he tries to form closer trading ties. Do you think we should seek other allies because the US is unreliable?
- Should we stop giving pets human names? The most popular dog and cat names in 2025 have been revealed, with more human names like Poppy, Bella and Mabel appearing much higher than the traditional names of Rover, Tabby and Spot. What do you think of this trend?
- What do you think about cutting veggie options from menus? McDonald's has axed virtually all the options from its speciality menu. They made the decision based on sales and feedback. But with about two million Brits following a plant-based diet, is it disrespectful?
- Should we ban ads for ultra-processed foods? 88% of people don't know what ultra processed foods are and that they can contain dozens of artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. We've seen tougher rules on junk food advertising. Do we need to catch up with ultra processed foods too?
- Will China talks help stop small boats? #KeirStarmer is in China and working on a deal to stop the supply of Chinese made small boat engines that find their way into the hands of people-smuggling gangs. Could that be the key to tackling the small boats crisis?
- Is the King right to release a film campaigning about climate change? King Charles has spoken in a new documentary saying he won't be "diverted" from his environmental campaigning, despite the criticism he has faced over the decades. Is he right to keep campaigning on this?
- Should unvaccinated children be kept out of school? The UK has lost its status as a country which had eliminated measles, after thousands of infections were recorded in 2024 and the preventable death of a child last year. Do you think this could be a solution?
- Have you ever been shouted at by a cyclist? Jeremy had a run-in with a foul-mouthed fellow cycler that has to be seen to be believed. Have you faced the wrath of a cyclist too?
- Do you think it's ok to boycott water bills? They're going up again in April, with charges up to £57 more a year. That's despite anger over sewage leaks and supply issues. The water companies say they need to fund £20 billion in upgrades... Would you refuse to pay?
- Should the government act now to slash benefits? There are concerns in the papers today that there could be no major overhaul to the welfare system for at least a year. That's despite costs potentially soaring to £368 billion by the next decade. What do you think?
- Should we make hikers pay to be rescued? Recently, three people were rescued in the South Downs after going searching for viral cows. Should people have to pay, given that the average rescue costs thousands?
- What do you make of A.I. chatbots handling police calls? Sir Mark Rowley says technology is the "new front line", and they will deal with non-emergency calls to free up officers. Can you trust A.I. to know what you need?
- Do we need to cap vet bill charges? Veterinary practices could be forced to publish their prices so pet owners can shop around. But you could still end up forking out thousands of pounds for surgery. Do we need set prices?
- Should you have to retake your driving test every 10 years? Campaigners say it's wrong that people can be driving for decades without anyone ever checking they're safe behind the wheel. Would you be happy to take your test again? Would you pass?
- Should we have child-free carriages on trains? One French rail operator has made headlines for introducing a premium, adult-only section on some of its high-speed trains, banning children under 12. Do you welcome the idea of a child-free carriage?
- Are cars getting too big? The number of US-style pickup trucks on UK roads has almost doubled in the past 10 years. The vehicles are more environmentally damaging than ordinary cars, and more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. What do you think?
- The government is bailing out pubs and music venues, but should it be helping hotels and restaurants too? Rachel Reeves has announced a big support package for local boozers after the hospitality industry warned of bankruptcies from rising costs. Should Labour go further?
- Does your class hold you back? Whether you're working class, middle class or even upper class, a new survey has found that 50% of respondents have experienced harassment or bias due to their social background. Have you been affected by this?
