Podcast appearances and mentions of Adrian Goldberg

Stamford Chidge interviews Adrian Goldberg, author of the brilliant 'Where's The Money Gone?' about the battle for the soul of English football.Adrian's book covers the changes to English football since the formation of the Premier League and how it turned the game into "a casino benefitting the super-rich at the expense of the clubs and communities at its heart." In the book Adrian asks "who or what is the Premier League for? Does it exist to promote the wider wellbeing of football in England? Or is it there to advance the asset value of club owners and burnish the reputation of repressive states and global oligarchs?” and in turn we discuss the existential threat posed to supporters of English clubs owned by dubious owners.

Are Sir Keir Starmer's u-turns the sign of a wea and indecisive leader or evidence of someone willing to change their mind and listen to reasoned arguments? The Prime Minister has backtracked, to a greater or lesser degree, on cuts to winter fuel payments, whether or not to hold a national inquiry into grooming gangs, and now disability benefits.   He's also told His biographer Tom Baldwin in The Observer that he regrets previously suggesting that Britain was at risk of becoming "an island of strangers" because of migration… a speech carrying echoes of Enoch Powell and which provides the theme for this month's print edition of Byline Times.   In a conversation on the Byline Supplement to mark its launch, Byline times executive editor Peter Jukes was joined by editor in chief Hardeep Matharu and political edtor Adam Bienkov.

Nawroscki is a huge fan of Donald Trump and even flew to the White House during the election to get a thumbs up from his hero in the Oval Office.   He represents the conservative Law and Justice Party which lost power in the parliamentary elections 18 months ago to Donald Tusk's more liberal Civic Platform. Tusk was previously president of the European Council, and had pledged to remove political influence from the judiciary and liberalise Poland's strict abortion laws.   Now though, he could find his legislation vetoed by Nawrocki, who also opposes EU policies on climate change and migration.   Adrian Goldberg is joined by Bartosz Rydlinski, a political scientist based in Warsaw, and Anna Alboth, a Polish journalist currently living in Berlin.

Was Keir Starmer's speech unveiling new measures reduce immigration his 'Enoch Powell' moment?   Most people would acknowledge that it's not intrinsically racist to discuss the scale of migration to the UK and have measures in place to regulate it. But as the Prime Minister laid out his plans in Downing Street this week, the language around it was horrifying to some Labour supporters.   At the same time as saying that he celebrated diversity, Starmer said that UK risks, “becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together”. As backbench MP Zarah Sultana pointed out, this echoed the infamous 'Rivers of Blood' speech made by Enoch Powell in 1968.   Sultana – currently suspended from the Labour whip - said that Starmer's words “add to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk."
