The Brexit debate has kicked off again, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicating the UK could potentially re-join the EU. Burnham says the UK needs to 'consider its options' and while a possible referendum may not be happening now, it could be on the cards. UK correspondent Enda Brady says 'anyone with a brain' could see that the UK is better off included with the EU, and he made that prediction a decade ago.

IS BURNHAM A LIAR AND A CHARLATAN? SPEECH FULL OF HOPE—MY ARSE! #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham BrexitBetrayal #RejoinEU #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKPolitics Yesterday it was tears and pulling at the heartstrings of a gullible MSM and public!  Today it is complete betrayal! Burnham is a con man and a charlatan. Four months ago, chasing votes in Makerfield, he said: "I'm not proposing the UK rejoin the EU. I respect the referendum." Now he's talking about going "all the way" back in. That's a bloody U-turn!  He told voters one thing to get elected, then opened the door to the opposite once in power. He is a liar and not fit to be PM. And that's before I mention the crocodile tears and using his dead father in a cynical attempt to win over voters! Speech full of hope?

It wasn't so much ‘honest guv' as 'honest gov' when Andy Burnham spoke at The Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The PM pledged to  say the things politicians usually avoid - namely deindustrialisation, deregulation, privatisation, austerity and Brexit were all 'named and shamed'. The headlines were the scrapping of the existing triple lock system for pensions, with the savings used to fund a National Care System, and electoral reform.

Rusland intensiveert drone-aanvallen | Europese kramp | Begrotingscrisis Rusland voert de druk op Oekraïne verder op met zwaardere raket- en droneaanvallen op de energie-infrastructuur. Oekraïne slaat ondertussen terug met aanvallen op Russische raffinaderijen en logistieke knooppunten. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk schetsen hoe de inzet van Geran-drones en de aanhoudende beschietingen van steden als Kiev, Kramatorsk en Sloviansk de oorlog voortdurend van karakter doen veranderen. Richting de winter raakt ook de Oekraïense economie steeds verder verzwakt. Stroomuitval, online onderwijs en stilvallende productie brengen Kyiv financieel in het nauw, terwijl Europese steun alleen onvoldoende is om de tekorten op te vangen. Ook binnen Europa lopen de spanningen op. Nederland, Duitsland en andere ‘zuinige’ landen botsen met Frankrijk over de Europese meerjarenbegroting en de financiering van defensie. Tegelijk houdt Nederland zich afzijdig van gezamenlijke wapenleningen zoals SAVE. Boekestijn en De Wijk plaatsen die begrotingsstrijd in de bredere discussie over de strategische autonomie van Europa en verbinden die met de politieke ontwikkelingen rond Marine Le Pen in Frankrijk. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk verschuift ondertussen het debat over Brexit richting een nauwere aansluiting bij Europa, nu ook onder Reform-kiezers meer aandacht ontstaat voor de economische gevolgen van het Britse vertrek uit de EU. In het Midden-Oosten lopen de spanningen tussen de Verenigde Staten en Iran verder op rond de Straat van Hormuz. Sancties zetten de Iraanse economie zwaar onder druk, terwijl via de Hoethis en de Revolutionaire Garde in Jemen een complexe proxy-oorlog wordt uitgevochten. Tegelijk zorgt de binnenlandse druk door inflatie en hoge dieselprijzen ervoor dat Joe Biden maatregelen overweegt die Europa met een nieuwe energiecrisis kunnen confronteren. Ondertussen blijft Washington discreet met Moskou in gesprek over Oekraïne en mogelijke toekomstige samenwerking op energiegebied. Daarmee kunnen de geopolitieke verhoudingen opnieuw verschuiven. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit.

This week we talk about EU membership, trade deals, and association.We also discuss Australia, Ursula von der Leyen, and Brussels.Recommended Book: Being You by Anil SethTranscriptJust off the coast of Newfoundland, there's a small group of islands that belongs to France. Saint-Pierre and Miquelon are close enough to Canada that, at their nearest point, the two countries are separated by only a few kilometers of water.In September, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met French President Emmanuel Macron on these islands. The two leaders could stand on French territory and talk about a partnership with the European Union, while Canada was visible across the water.A few days earlier, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had made a similar, but possibly more significant proposal. Speaking before the European Parliament, with Carney in the room, she said she wanted to open the door for Canada to become the EU's first “associate member.”Depending on which headline you read about the statement, this may have sounded like Canada might be joining the EU, joining it partway, or joining an entirely new version of it. Soon after, Australia's trade minister said his country was “on the same page” as Canada regarding closer ties, and the European Parliament's president then suggested Australia and New Zealand might follow Canada's lead.Now, despite all those headlines and interpretations, there's one problem with all these stated ambitions: the European Union does not have an established category called associate member. No one has agreed on what rights or obligations an associate member country would have, and figuring that out—and getting some kind of resolution passed—would be necessary for anyone, including Canada and Australia, to get closer in that way with the EU.What I'd like to talk about today is why this proposal was made, what it could mean if it eventually becomes more concrete, and whatever happens, what these statements tell us about the way global alliances are changing.—The EU has 27 member countries, but there are already a few different ways to be connected to it.Full member nations help write EU law and send representatives to its institutions. They all participate in the single market, which means goods, services, money, and people can move across member nation borders under shared rules.The single market is distinct from the customs union, which sets common tariffs on goods imported from elsewhere. Both are distinct from the Schengen area, which removes most routine passport checks between participating countries. And nations that use the euro are another group entirely. These arrangements tend to overlap, but they're not the same thing, and membership in one does not automatically mean membership in all the others.There are also countries outside the EU that participate in some of its systems. Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein belong to the European Economic Area and are part of the single market. To do that they have to accept many EU rules, although they don't vote on those rules as that would require full EU membership. Switzerland has built its own set of bilateral arrangements with the EU. And Britain, after leaving the union, has also negotiated a special trade and cooperation agreement with it.So there are precedents for a country having a deep relationship with the EU without being a member. But there's no ready-made ‘associate' slot that Canada can just step into.There's a legal distinction here, too. The EU treaties say that a European state can apply to become a member, and Canada is not a European state. The treaties separately allow the EU to make association agreements with countries outside the bloc, and it already has many kinds of agreements with external partners. An association agreement, though, does not make that partner a member of the Union.“Associate member” could eventually become a useful name for a new collection of rights and obligations held by nations outside those existing parameters. For now, though, it's a political invitation and a negotiating idea, not a defined legal status.All that said, Canada isn't starting from scratch on this. Its trade agreement with the EU, called CETA, has been applied provisionally since 2017. Most of it is already in effect, though ten EU countries still haven't completed the ratification required for the whole of the agreement to go into force.CETA removes most tariffs and opens some opportunities for companies on each side, but it doesn't make Canada part of the single market. A Canadian product can be easier to sell in Europe without a Canadian worker gaining a general right to take a job there. That's part of the distinction between a trade deal and the sort of relationship people sometimes imagine when they hear the phrase “union membership.”Canada also joined Horizon Europe, the EU's major research funding program, in 2024. It has a security and defense partnership with the EU, and it became the first country outside Europe to join an EU defense financing initiative called SAFE.That means some of the proposed future relationship already exists, but in pieces rather than as a unified whole. The question is whether those pieces can be connected and extended into something much more ambitious and holistic.Now, important to understanding the why of all this is understanding Canada's relationship with the US, and how that relationship has been fraying, of late.Canada's economy is deeply integrated with that of the United States. Its proximity to the massive US market has brought enormous benefits, but it also means a change in American trade policy can have an immediate and dramatic effect on Canadian businesses. President Donald Trump's tariffs and repeated suggestions that Canada should become the 51st state have made that dependence more than a little politically uncomfortable.For Carney, a closer European relationship offers a way to reduce the risk of having too many economic and security decisions shaped by one increasingly unpredictable and at times belligerent neighboring country. Europe has its own reasons to be interested in closer ties. Canada has energy and critical minerals, industrial capacity, research institutions, and a role in the Arctic. Both sides also support Ukraine and work together through NATO and other forums.Von der Leyen has proposed cooperation with Canada on batteries, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, and defense production. Carney has added ideas about financial services and opportunities for young people to live, work, and study across the Atlantic.This isn't a plan to move Canada's economy from one continent to another. Geography still matters. A car part crossing the US-Canada border may be part of a production chain built up over decades; a new trade agreement with Europe doesn't instantly recreate or replace that chain.But diversification doesn't require replacing one partner with another. It can mean having additional buyers, suppliers, research collaborators, and sources of investment, so that a disruption in one relationship is less damaging.The costs and limits matter here, too. Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has warned that deeper EU ties could mean higher costs and Canadian industries being regulated from Brussels. His motives in bringing this up are likely at least partly political, but it's a question worth asking: if Canada wants more access to a tightly regulated European market, which European standards would it have to accept as a tradeoff?Europe would face its own questions. EU governments have spent decades building shared rules among countries that accept reciprocal obligations. They may not want to give a distant partner the benefits of those standards without comparable commitments. The fact that ten member states have yet to ratify the existing Canada trade agreement is a reminder that closer ties require more than an enthusiastic speech from the Commission president; there are real, practical realities to consider, here.If something like this were to move forward, we don't yet know whether the final result would be one major agreement or a series of smaller ones. The latter might be easier to negotiate: a defense arrangement could advance while mobility or food standards remain unresolved, for instance. But calling the package an associate membership could also raise expectations that every difficult issue will be solved at once, which probably isn't realistic.And none of this automatically grants Canadians the right to settle anywhere in the EU, or Europeans the right to settle in Canada. Carney has talked about expanding opportunities for young people, but the scope of any mobility arrangement would have to be negotiated. A youth work or study program would be a very different proposition from full freedom of movement.And as all of this has played out, Australia has watched with interest.Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell said Australia and Canada were “on the same page” about building stronger ties with Europe, and that he would watch what Carney did. Then European Parliament President Roberta Metsola named Australia and New Zealand as examples of countries with which the EU could deepen its relationship.Those remarks generated another round of headlines about countries joining Europe, but as with Canada, things are more complicated than most of the reporting on this would suggest.Australia and the EU finished negotiating a free trade agreement earlier this year, but it still has to be signed and brought into force. They also have a security and defense partnership and have discussed bringing Australia into Horizon Europe. At a September meeting, their leaders focused on those steps, along with potential agreements related to critical minerals and technology.All of which illustrates the difference between a political signal and a policy commitment. Whether the involved negotiators eventually decide on some kind of associate terminology is arguably less consequential than the real-deal agreements being worked out piecemeal, today.If the associate model were to become a real thing and catch on with Canada and Australia, that could open the doors for more and deeper collaborations by the EU with non-member states, though, which could be long-term impactful, even if it took a while to spin-up.Looking across the channel at Britain, we find evidence that an associate membership with the EU might have real appeal, even for union skeptics.In a YouGov survey published ten years after the Brexit vote, 57% of Britons said leaving had been the wrong decision, and 55% said they supported rejoining the EU in principle. But when asked about rejoining without Britain's old exceptions to EU rules, support fell to 35%. Meanwhile, 59% supported a closer relationship without rejoining the EU, its single market, or its customs union.Those results don't tell us what Britons would think of a hypothetical Canadian-style agreement, but they do suggest that the details are important. “Closer ties” can sound attractive to people who are uncomfortable with shared laws, movement across borders, and which institutions get the final say, because it suggests more benefits with fewer organizational constraints. There's a non-zero chance any new, tighter agreement with Canada would face similar, detail-oriented issues, and a mix of approval and disapproval from Canadian citizenry.Show Noteshttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/16/von-der-leyen-mark-carney-canada-eu-first-associate-memberhttps://www.politico.eu/article/australia-on-the-same-page-as-canada-on-deepening-eu-ties-says-key-minister-trade-don-farrell/https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/54925-what-do-britons-think-of-brexit-10-years-since-the-referendumhttps://sentiers.media/the-map-fiction-missed/https://cyprus.representation.ec.europa.eu/news/2026-state-union-address-president-von-der-leyen-2026-09-16_enhttps://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/speeches/2026/09/17/prime-minister-carney-delivers-address-european-parliamenthttps://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/speeches/2026/09/20/prime-minister-carney-delivers-remarks-conclude-his-visit-saint-pierre-ethttps://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/09/17/prime-minister-carney-deepens-ties-trusted-allies-visit-france-andhttps://audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/media/video/I-294577https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/treaty-on-european-union-joining-the-eu.htmlhttps://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/ This is a public episode.

Straight talk on what's behind the news, recorded live at the Full Circle in Brussels. Katrin Prybil of Reportrois explains how the far right's wins in German state elections will slow EU policymaking. Katrin also speculates about why European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen offered Canada an EU status that doesn't exist, and she reflects on how a referendum in Iceland brought back memories — of Brexit. Joanna Gill of The Parliament Magazine discusses a trend toward "climate hushing" even as heat and drought ravage Europe. Looking to the High North, where warming is happening faster than the global average, Joanna sees Russia and China sizing up new waterways while the EU mostly watches from the sidelines.Raziye Akkoc of Agence France-Presse unpacks what von der Leyen meant by "China Shock 2.0" and how a "Made in EU" proposal will play in upcoming talks between the EU and Beijing. On the hot topic of media freedom, Raziye says the EU press corps works in an environment that's a good deal more controlled than non-journalists probably realize.Support the show

Le Royaume-Uni veut bénéficier des nouvelles règles européennes destinées à favoriser les produits fabriqués en Europe. Mais Londres se heurte aux réticences de plusieurs États membres, notamment la France, qui lui reprochent de vouloir profiter des protections européennes tout en conservant sa liberté commerciale depuis le Brexit. La Manche est calme mais ses côtes s'agitent. Nouvelle source de tensions entre Londres et l'Union européenne : Bruxelles prépare un texte destiné à renforcer l'industrie européenne face à la concurrence étrangère, avec des règles de préférence au « Made in Europe », autrement dit aux produits fabriqués en Europe. Le problème, c'est que le Royaume-Uni, qui a pourtant quitté l'Union européenne, aimerait pouvoir bénéficier de ces dispositifs. L'argument britannique est simple. Son industrie est tellement imbriquée avec celle du continent qu'il serait absurde de l'exclure. C'est particulièrement vrai dans l'automobile. Les pièces, les batteries et les voitures circulent entre le Royaume-Uni et l'Union européenne. Selon la fédération britannique des constructeurs automobiles, les échanges de marchandises entre les deux marchés représentent environ 80 milliards d'euros. Pour le secteur automobile, l'enjeu est donc important. Si les produits britanniques sont exclus des dispositifs liés au « Made in Europe » ou de certains marchés européens, cela pourrait fragiliser les chaînes de production, des deux côtés de la Manche. À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: le choc démographique qui menace l'économie britannique La France défend une conception restrictive du « Made in Europe » Mais au sein de l'Union européenne, le débat est loin d'être tranché. La France défend une définition relativement restrictive du « Made in Europe ». Pour Paris, l'argent des contribuables européens doit d'abord soutenir les usines et les travailleurs européens. L'Allemagne et plusieurs autres pays défendent au contraire une conception plus large, qui pourrait davantage relever du « Made with Europe », ou « fabriqué avec l'Europe ». Dans cette logique, certains pays partenaires, comme le Canada ou le Royaume-Uni, pourraient bénéficier de ces dispositifs. Derrière ce débat se trouve une autre question essentielle : celle de la concurrence chinoise. L'Union européenne cherche à protéger son industrie face aux produits chinois, notamment dans le secteur des voitures électriques. Bruxelles reproche justement à Londres de vouloir bénéficier de la protection européenne tout en conservant une politique commerciale différente. L'Union européenne a instauré des droits de douane supplémentaires sur les voitures électriques chinoises afin de protéger ses constructeurs. Le Royaume-Uni, lui, n'a pas suivi la même stratégie. Les Européens craignent donc que le Royaume-Uni ne devienne une porte d'entrée pour les produits chinois. Pour reprendre l'exemple des voitures électriques, des produits arrivant sur le marché britannique pourraient ensuite, selon Bruxelles, bénéficier de l'intégration des chaînes de valeur européennes et concurrencer les constructeurs du continent. Le « Made in Europe », révélateur des limites du Brexit La Commission pousse donc Londres à se rapprocher de la politique commerciale européenne et à s'aligner davantage sur ses règles pour pouvoir bénéficier des protections européennes. C'est un véritable bras de fer. Le gouvernement britannique veut conserver sa liberté commerciale, l'un des arguments mis en avant lors du Brexit. Mais, dans le même temps, Londres souhaite que ses industriels soient considérés comme européens lorsqu'il s'agit d'accéder aux dispositifs destinés à protéger l'industrie du continent. Autrement dit, le Royaume-Uni veut rester en dehors de l'Union européenne tout en profitant de certains de ses avantages. Le « Made in Europe » devient donc, en quelque sorte, le révélateur des limites du Brexit. On peut quitter l'Union européenne, mais il est beaucoup plus difficile de s'affranchir de ses règles quand son industrie reste aussi étroitement liée au marché européen.

Andy Burnham has promised to set out a new direction for the UK after what he called a decade of drift since Brexit, as he arrived for his first Labour conference as prime minister. He told clapping supporters that he'd outline how he'd deliver growth in every postcode and hope in every heart. He also announced a new scheme to help get young people on the property ladder.

The Scottish and Welsh parliamentary elections in May this year resulted in three of the four nations of the UK electing First Ministers who support self determination for their people.   This week a meeting took place in Cardiff between the party leaders of the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Fein to explore areas of common cause in which they can co-operate to further their respective agendas.  They then held a press conference address and Q+A session. In this episode, Fiona and Marlene pick out some highlights from the press conference and alsohome in on a couple of areas where Scotland seems to be lagging behind the other two nations in making preparations for constitutional change.

Jeremy Kyle reacts as The Prime Minister Andy Burnham goes all the way across the Atlantic, sits down with Donald Trump, and gets ABSOLUTELY SLAMMED over the Chagos Islands deal! Trump takes one look at it, calls it a "terrible, ridiculous deal," and now Burnham's dragged right back to the drawing board, admitting the whole thing is under review! Fancy getting schooled on the world stage. And it doesn't end there! Burnham's over at the UN, preaching about stopping Russian disinformation and pushing for global AI rules, while secretly dropping hints that he wants to drag us straight back into the EU! And who does he blame for Brexit? "Russian outside forces!". So not the 52% of Brits who actually voted to leave?The Tories have drawn level with Reform UK for the first time in 18 months in a fresh boost for Kemi Badenoch.

Komen er vervroegde verkiezingen in Groot-Brittannië? Premier Andy Burnham zegt van niet en ook Downing Street spreekt de geruchten met klem tegen. Maar de oppositie vertrouwt het niet en maakt zich al op voor een mogelijke stembusgang. Waarom blijven die geruchten zo hardnekkig? En dan, haat en nijd in royale kringen. Want voor koninklijk gebekvecht ben je in het Verenigd Koninkrijk altijd op de juiste plek. Ditmaal draait het een keer niet om Harry en Meghan, maar is Charles Spencer, de broer van wijlen Lady Di de reden waarom de tabloids overuren draaien. Zijn boek over zijn zus ontketende een fikse ruzie tussen de twee Charles’en.

Jeremy Oppenheim left a top job at the management consulting firm McKinsey&Co in 2016 to become a Founding Partner of and build SYSTEMIQ, at the high water mark of climate optimism. Then came Trump and Brexit. Ten years on, Joe asks him what the movement got right, and what it got badly wrong, from ignoring the politics of decline to vilifying the very incumbents it needed. And most importantly, what does this mean for how we think about what comes next? Conversations with a CE/O is a new series on The Circular Economy where the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's CEO Joe Murphy sits down with leaders whose decisions are shaping the economy and asks one question. We've been working on the circular economy for more than a decade, the next 10 years will look nothing like the last, so how does the work itself need to change?Part 2 of this conversation will be available next week.

What a difference a year makesThe Labour Party conference awaits. Has Andy Burnham's folksy charm and optimism taken the party as far as it can, or can he consolidate power and popularity?Six-party politics A YouGov poll for The Times and Sky News puts Reform UK and the Conservative Party on level pegging for the first time in 18 months. Thursday's mega poll, the first MRP from YouGov in a year, will be a fascinating snapshot of the shifting electoral tectonic plates. Labour MPs are pinning their hopes on a split on the right, but will Burnham's government be able to build enough support from potential Green and Liberal Democrat voters?What will Andy Burnham's government do about welfare? Three reports into work and benefits are imminent: Charlie Mayfield's recommendations about how to keep people in work, Alan Milburn's report into Neets (young people not in education, employment or training) and a government review of mental health conditions. All of them put the welfare system into the spotlight. The timing creates a political problem for the government because next month's budget will not address the welfare bill. Raising taxes without fixing welfare is difficult for a prime minister who has talked about the power of politics to change things. Meanwhile his chancellor, John Healey, is buffeted by rising borrowing costs, which hit £18.3 billion in August, up nearly a fifth on August last year.Brexit re-litigated?On the plane to New York, Andy Burnham refused to rule out rejoining the European Union. A year ago he said he hoped the UK would rejoin the EU in his lifetime. Could he really be tempted to try to boost economic growth by aligning more closely with the EU or putting rejoining the EU in the next manifesto?Steven Swinford, political editor, The TimesPatrick Maguire, chief political commentator, The TimesProducer: Harry KitsonExecutive producer: Molly GuinnessPicture: Getty ImagesThis podcast was brought to you thanks to subscribers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

10 years after the Brexit referendum, was Britain's departure from the European Union inevitable or did it depend on a series of political choices?Mark Quinn speaks with Dr Roch Dunin-Wąsowicz and Max Josef Migden about their research comparing Britain's experience with the prospect of Poland leaving the EU. They introduce a framework exploring how national structures, political narratives and the actions of influential politicians can combine to make "Polexit" possible.Why would a largely pro-European population continue to elect Eurosceptic leaders? Could Poland leave without holding a referendum?We also hear how the EU has changed since Brexit and why populist politicians may now be more interested in reshaping it than leaving it.Full show notes and links: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2026/sep/how-other-countries-could-leave-eu-research-real-worldMore Research for the Real World: https://uclioe.info/rftrwMore IOE Insights podcasts: https://uclioe.info/podcastUCL Institute of Education: https://ucl.ac.uk/ioePhoto: FotoDax / Adobe Stock

We start by going through the history of Brexit. We discuss tribal politics, and the Leavers and the Remainers. We talk about how things have evolved over the past 10 years. We discuss the development of issue-based identities and their social and political consequences. We explore the phenomena of ingroup affect, outgroup animosity and prejudice, affective polarization, and cognitive bias. We talk about the Big Five, the Dark Triad, and political tribalism. We explore four different scenarios for the continuing role of Brexit identities: restoration, revival, realignment, and replacement. Finally, we discuss whether tribal politics can be overcome.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Mark Wasserman spent thirty five years building one law firm before staking his reputation on a bet almost nobody in the room believed in. Host Chris Batz and co-host Howard Rosenberg of The Future is Bright sit down with Mark Wasserman, CEO Emeritus of Eversheds Sutherland, to unpack the law firm merger strategy behind one of the industry's most unlikely transatlantic combinations. Wasserman walks through why he initially dismissed the idea, what changed his mind, and why keeping separate profit and loss statements let the deal survive Brexit and a U.S. election in the same year. The conversation moves quickly into what is reshaping the profession today. Wasserman explains why private equity in law firms keeps running into the same wall. Law firm non-competes let partners walk out the door with clients attached, and that reality changes what outside capital is actually willing to fund. He is candid about AI adoption in law firms too. Real trust between clients and firms has not caught up to the technology yet, he says. Wasserman also opens up about Connexo, the alternative legal service providers model he helped build years before AI became a boardroom topic, and shares blunt advice on managing partner succession for leaders weighing their own law firm merger strategy. It's a conversation built on decades of pattern recognition rather than predictions.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Mark Wasserman, CEO Emeritus of Eversheds Sutherland 01:54 Inside the Transatlantic Merger With Eversheds 08:33 Private Equity in Law Firms and the Non-Compete Problem 12:18 AI Adoption in Law Firms and the Trust Gap 20:13 Building Connexo as an Alternative Legal Service Provider 29:57 The Demand Signal That Shows the Old Model Is Breaking   Connect with Mark Wasserman: Connect with Mark Wasserman Know more about Mark Wasserman    Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn  Howard's Company web profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  MergerWatch Website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

One year and a week since taking his new post, the Consul General of Ireland in New York Gerald Angley hosted the Irish Stew podcasters in his office high above Park Avenue for a behind-the-scenes look at Irish diplomacy in action while sharing his reflections on the first year on the job.One event stands out for Gerald."The scale of St. Patrick's Day blew our minds,” he says. “It's 24/7 for a number of weeks."Gerald walks listeners through the impressive scale of his six-state consular territory of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Ohio, and Pennsylvania."That's 59 million people. That's the same population as the UK," he notes, adding that the region ranks as the world's third-largest economy in its own right.The conversation traces Gerald's path from a University College Dublin commerce degree and a stint at Citibank to a career in the Department of Foreign Affairs, with postings in Brussels, Paris, and London during Brexit. On landing the coveted New York job, he admits to a bold move: "I wrote a letter that said, 'I dare you not to pick me.'"Talk turns to the perennial Irish Stew topic of diaspora engagement, where the diplomat reflects on evolving Irish American identity, saying, "We have to look at it not as purely Irish-born people, but rather people who have several identities."He also points to what distinguishes Ireland's mission from other consulates: "We're one of the only countries that has an immigrant support fund... we need to be bigger than most of the other consulates, and we are."As the episode wraps, Gerald provides the listeners with his must-read book recommendation and previews of the imminent launch the Green Pages, the new directory of Irish organizations in his consul region.And what's it like to be a Consul General in New York? Gerald quotes a predecessor in his role who said, "It's Wall Street by day, Broadway by night!”Links:Gerald AngleyWebsiteLinkedIn Consulate General of Ireland in New YorkWebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookXEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 23; Total Episode Count: 164Send us Fan Mail

Es la figura clave del siglo XX en Francia, una de las más importantes de todos los tiempos, citada en los sondeos a la altura de Napoleón, Juana de Arco o Luis XIV. Fue también un político odiado, tachado de traidor, de dictador, de loco. Militar heterodoxo, Charles de Gaulle lideró la resistencia ante la ocupación nazi, evitó injerencias aliadas tras el desembarco de Normandía, fundó la Quinta República y la presidió entre 1959 y 1969. Guiado por la convicción mística y geopolítica de "la grandeur" de Francia, trabajó por colocar al país en un lugar de máxima relevancia en el escenario mundial. Para no depender de otras potencias abandonó la estructura de la OTAN, desarrolló su propia fuerza de disuasión nuclear y evitó alinearse con Washington o Moscú durante la Guerra Fría. También allanó el camino hacia la construcción de la Unión Europea tras promover la reconciliación francoalemana. Analistas e historiadores actuales lo consideran un visionario por defender la autonomía militar del Viejo Continente respecto a Estados Unidos o por vetar la entrada del Reino Unido a las Comunidades Europeas medio siglo antes del Brexit.Este documental, con guion de Antonio Delgado y diseño sonoro de Mayca Aguilera, recorre la biografía del mandatario con una especial atención al último viaje internacional de su vida, que tuvo a España como destino. Intervienen los historiadores Julian Jackson, autor de la biografía 'De Gaulle, una cierta idea de Francia'; Pablo Pérez López, catedrático de la Universidad de Navarra y autor de 'Charles de Gaulle, el estadista rebelde'; y Álvaro Fleites, profesor de la Université de Caen Normandie y autor de 'De Gaulle y España'. Además, el programa recoge la voz del veterano de guerra Leon Masiliah, hijo de uno de los protagonistas de la liberación de París en 1944. Para reconstruir su visita a España participan Gregorio Marañón y Bertrán de Lis, nieto del intelectual Gregorio Marañón; y Carmen Méndez y Carlos Jaras, directora y recepcionista del Parador de Jaén, una de las escalas de aquel peculiar periplo. También suenan grabaciones históricas de Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Georges Pompidou y del propio Charles de Gaulle.Escuchar audio

RHLSTP #626 - Maths is Sh*te - Rich is back at the Edinburgh Fringe, 39 years after his first appearance. His guest is fiery MP turned brilliant comic, Mhairi Black. They talk about how she became the youngest MP since 1667 (maybe), why the toxic, alcohol-sodden Houses of Parliament was not the place for her, her record breaking swearing, calling Rishi Sunak a dickhead (or not), impressing David Cameron and the media attention and death threats that come with it all. Plus thoughts on Farage, Scottish Independence and Brexit in Mhairi's usual uncompromising stance. Plus ghosts, ham hands, how Mhairi pivoted into acting and the ultimately doomed United Kingdom and its outdated parliament. Great start to the Edinburgh run.See RHLSTP live (for possibly the last time) in London this autumn http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Thanks to Chris Evans (NTO) and Ben Walker Hosted on Acast.

In this special, crossover edition of Secrets of Statecraft and Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, Andrew Roberts is the guest and is interviewed by Peter Robinson. Roberts explains why great individuals still shape history—and why Winston Churchill remains history's ultimate example. Roberts also confronts attacks on Churchill's record, explains Britain's decision to fight Hitler in 1940, and discusses tyranny, Brexit, socialism, immigration, Donald Trump, and Britain's future. Roberts also despairs of the decline of literacy and historical memory, and reveals  both the world leaders he admires today and the source of the title of this podcast: Winston Churchill's enduring advice: “Study history, for therein lie all the secrets of statecraft.” Subscribe to Uncommon Knowledge at hoover.org/uk
