Globalization is dying, maybe even dead. Borders are back, baby. That's the message in Jonn Elledge's sparkling Brief History of the World in 47 Borders. In this romp around world history , Elledge introduces us to 47 of the world's oddest borders including particularly weird ones in Detroit, Kaliningrad and Bolivia. So should be celebrating or mourning the rebirth of the border? Elledge is in mourning. A self-described progressive who grew up on Star Trek dreams of planetary unity, he sees nationalism's resurgence since 2016 as "quite a bad thing." He blames economic stagnation—when the pie stops growing, generous approaches to migration and distribution become much harder to sustain. I'm more sanguine. Whatever globalist bureaucrats at the UN or EU promised us, borders were never going away. As a species, we humans are agoraphobic. The Trekkies are wrong. The claustrophobia of the border is what gives us our sense of space. 1. Borders are having a political moment - The "liberal hegemony" that promised borderless globalization has been collapsing since 2016 (Brexit, Trump), making nationalism and territorial division the dominant political force again.2. Economic stagnation drives border obsession - When economies aren't growing and people aren't getting richer, generous policies on migration and wealth distribution become much harder to sustain politically.3. Maps shape leaders' minds - Trump's fixation on his Oval Office Ukraine map shows how visual representations of territory directly influence foreign policy decisions and geopolitical thinking.4. Most "historic" borders are recent inventions - What we assume are natural, ancient boundaries (like the Berlin Wall, Bangladesh, or even Germany's division) are often just decades old, showing how arbitrary our sense of "normal" geography really is.5. Borders create unexpected consequences - From Bolivia maintaining a navy despite being landlocked to Detroit's expansion bankrupting the city, where you draw lines has profound, often unintended effects on politics, economics, and culture for generations.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

What if the great 'what if' moments of recent British history had turned out differently? Ed Balls and George Osborne dive into the political sliding doors that could have rewritten the last three decades. They debate whether Margaret Thatcher would have won the 1992 election if she hadn't been ousted, and how her legacy would have been transformed.Ed gives a behind-the-scenes account of the Blair-Brown transition and the so-called 'Curry House Plot', considering how Labour would have handled the 2008 financial crisis with Tony Blair still in No. 10. Then, the pair explore the huge question of whether Britain joining the Euro would have prevented Brexit, or simply led to a catastrophic economic crash.Plus, George reveals why he jumped for joy when Ed Miliband beat his brother David for the Labour leadership, and they discuss whether the result of that contest sealed Labour's fate in 2015.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

Miranda shares insights on how rural businesses can make themselves more appealing to potential employees and the differences in recruitment strategies for small versus large organizations. The conversation also touches on the role of AI in recruitment and the importance of maintaining a human touch in the hiring process.

En mayor o en menor medida todos los Gobiernos europeos se enfrentan al crecimiento en las encuestas de partidos identitarios y populistas. No hay ningún país que se escape a esa tendencia. Tanto el populismo de izquierda como el de derecha atraviesan un periodo dorado, especialmente entre los votantes más jóvenes. Pero hay una excepción a esta norma de edad: el Reino Unido, donde sucede todo lo contrario. Allí son los votantes más mayores, esencialmente los pensionistas, sobre quienes se sustenta este crecimiento sostenido de partidos como Reform UK en la derecha o Your Party en la izquierda, una nueva formación política que el anterior líder de los laboristas, Jeremy Corbyn acaba de fundar para pelear a Keir Starmer el voto más escorado a la izquierda. En el caso del Reino Unido llueve, en cierto modo, sobre mojado. Ya en el referéndum del Brexit hace casi diez años quienes decantaron el resultado final fueron precisamente los jubilados, mientras la población más joven votaba mayoritariamente por permanecer en la Unión Europea. Esa radicalización política de los pensionistas no ha hecho más que acrecentarse en los últimos años. Tanto las manifestaciones de la extrema derecha como las de la extrema izquierda están llenas de jubilados y son también muchos jubilados quienes detiene la policía por protagonizar altercados. En las protestas contra la guerra de Gaza, por ejemplo, aproximadamente la mitad de los detenidos son mayores de 60 años, algunos de ellos incluso han sido acusados de terrorismo por la fiscalía. El peso electoral de los pensionistas es cada vez mayor ya que la sociedad británica es una de las más envejecidas del mundo. La edad media en el Reino Unido es de más de 40 años y hay más mayores de 65 años que menores de 15, pero los primeros votan y los segundos no. Esto tiene consecuencias directas en las elecciones. En las últimas Keir Starmer ganó con un ajustado 32% de los votos pero, gracias al sistema electoral, consiguió una cómoda mayoría absoluta. Eso sí, todo indica que una carambola como esta no volvería a repetirse de celebrarse hoy las elecciones. Quien se lo llevaría todo sería Nigel Farage y Reform UK. Las encuestas más recientes le dan aproximadamente un tercio de los votos al mismo tiempo que hunden (aún más) a los conservadores y a los laboristas. Faltan aún casi cuatro años para las próximas elecciones y Starmer se muestra relativamente tranquilo y confiado, pero si la tendencia se afianza puede ir despidiéndose ya de revalidar el cargo. Fácil no lo tiene. La situación económica es comprometida, no ha regresado el crecimiento que prometió hace un año y cunde el desánimo. Es en ese ambiente en el que Farage está pescando y donde Corbyn quiere hacer lo propio. Your Party ha empezado a aparecer ya en las encuestas y algunas le adjudican hasta un 15% de intención de voto. En ambos casos el principal empuje son el grupo de edad que se sitúa por encima de los 60 años, mientras los jóvenes y los británicos de mediana edad se muestran más moderados en sus preferencias políticas, justo lo contrario de lo que está sucediendo en el resto de Europa. Para hablar de este tema vuelve, desde el corazón de Inglaterra, Andrea a La ContraCrónica. Entre ambos trataremos de desentrañar las razones de esta particularidad británica que tiene a los sociólogos un tanto confusos. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.

Nigel Farage and Reform UK have dominated the summer political agenda with radical immigration proposals: leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), repealing the Human Rights Act, and suspending the Refugee Convention. But are these policies legally possible – and politically effective?In this episode of Whitehall Sources, Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan and Jo Tanner break down:Farage's immigration plan and whether he's shaping or simply riding public opinion.Why Labour's response has been so weak – and whether Keir Starmer risks being outflanked on immigration.The Tory dilemma: can Kemi Badenoch or others reclaim ground after years of failure?Rachel Reeves' controversial proposal to slap National Insurance on landlords' rental income – will it fix the £50bn black hole or just squeeze tenants?No.10 turmoil: Starmer's shake-up of his top team, Treasury distrust, and growing Downing Street dysfunction.We also hear why Kirsty Allsopp thinks Reeves is "running the economy like Baldrick," and why some insiders fear the government could collapse if the Autumn Budget goes wrong.

Summer is coming to an end on Planet Normal! So in our final installment of our "best of the rocket" series, our co-pilots take a look back at another two of their most explosive voyages on the rocket of right thinking from the year so far.In May, after Keir Starmer's EU 'reset', Allison and Liam invited Lord David Frost on to the rocket. The former diplomat and Boris Johnson's chief Brexit negotiator, now a Conservative peer, discussed Starmer's efforts to bring post-Brexit Britain closer to the EU.Also in May, Liam spoke to Andrew Doyle, playwright, journalist, satirist, and creator of social media star Titania McGrath. Andrew, who recently published The End of Woke, discussed why he'd returned to the "culture wars" after vowing his previous book, The New Puritans, would be his last word on the subject.Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |Need help subscribing or reviewing?

This week, Grace is buzzing to meet former first minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon.

So what food does she turn to when she needs some comfort?

Het hield de gemoederen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk de hele zomer bezig, de asielhotels. Britten willen dat er een einde komt aan de tijdelijke opvang van tienduizenden asielzoekers in de zogenoemde asielhotels. Afgelopen weekend vonden er massademonstraties en tegendemonstraties plaats, men hield rekening dat het grimmig kon worden en zou escaleren. Die uitbarsting kwam er gelukkig niet, maar migratie staat wel weer bovenaan de politieke agenda en dreigt de regering van Keir Starmer te gaan definiëren. Ook in deze aflevering 'Brits stel huurt nieuwe woning'. Op zich geen groot nieuws, helemaal geen nieuws eigenlijk, tenzij het stel de kroonprins en zijn gezin is. En helemaal wanneer Prins William en zijn wederhelft niet voor een paleis kiezen, maar voor een relatief eenvoudige optrek buiten Londen. Geeft dit ook een beetje een beeld hoe Prins William zich wil profileren als aankomend staatshoofd? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.

(00:00:35) L'influence du Royaume-Uni dans le monde depuis le Brexit, interview de Thibaud Harrois (00:09:47) Des Gazaouis déjà réfugiés n'ont nulle part où aller (00:15:00) Avec les avocats des rues à Copenhague

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, et bienvenue dans l'épisode 4 du podcast de la Revue Ecossaise - qui marque d'ailleurs le début de notre deuxième saison ! Après le tryptique autour de l'eau, on lance le triptyque autour de l'Ecosse et son rapport au monde, et aujourd'hui, on a un titre qui sonne presque comme une évidence — “Vive l'Écosse européenne !” — mais qu'on va justement interroger ensemble : pourquoi est-ce qu'on a si facilement cette impression que l'Écosse est européenne ? Et est-ce que c'est encore vrai, dans une Écosse post-Brexit, au sein d'un Royaume-Uni qui cherche sa place dans un monde tourmenté, tiraillée entre les voisins européens et sa relation spéciale avec les Etats-Unis ? Alors que l'idée européenne semble toujours forte ici, les chemins pour y revenir paraissent brouillés. Dans cet épisode, on va discuter de ces contradictions, de ces attachements, et de ce qu'il reste — ou pas — de ce lien entre l'Écosse et l'Europe.

Violences devant un hôtel de migrants, un ministre britannique qui parle « d'invasion », des slogans haineux dans la rue... Il y a quelques jours encore, à Epping, près de Londres, des manifestants d'extrême droite affrontaient la police devant un centre hébergeant des demandeurs d'asile. Scène quasi inimaginable il y a 10 ans en Grande-Bretagne. Le pays de la devise « Keep Calm and Carry On » semblerait avoir perdu son flegme légendaire dès qu'il est question d'immigration. Depuis le Brexit en 2016, le débat s'est enflammé. Des figures comme Nigel Farage alimentent l'idée d'une invasion migratoire. Le gouvernement lui-même, qu'il soit conservateur hier ou travailliste aujourd'hui, durcit les lois pour tenter de « reprendre le contrôle » des frontières, au point de flirter avec les limites du droit international. Résultat : les traversées clandestines de la Manche continuent et la tension monte entre communautés. Alors, que se passe-t-il vraiment au Royaume-Uni ? Quelle part revient aux réseaux sociaux dans ce climat ? Comment l'histoire du Brexit a-t-elle radicalisé le discours public ? Et surtout, comment la société britannique réagit-elle : assiste-t-on à une libération de la parole raciste ? Ou bien le pays reste-t-il majoritairement attaché à sa tradition multiculturelle ? Avec nos invités :  Aurélien Antoine, professeur à l'Université Jean-Monnet de Saint-Étienne, directeur de l'Observatoire du Brexit Amélie Cracco, docteure en droit, autrice de la thèse « Les conséquences du Brexit sur la liberté de circulation des personnes »

When, under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, they won the lowest number of seats since 1935? Steve's guest, Chris Williamson, brings an insider's view to the story. Chris is a former MP and shadow minister for UK's Labour Party. He's currently deputy leader of the Workers Party of Britain, and hosts a show, Palestine Declassified, that has the notable honor of being banned by YouTube. Chris describes some strategic missteps within the Labour Party under Corbyn and others. He criticizes the adoption of neoliberal policies, like the fiscal credibility rule, and Corbyn's ambiguity on Brexit. The Zionist lobby leapt on their support for Palestine; charges of antisemitism hit their target. “Unfortunately, Jeremy gave it legs by continually apologizing. And as I said to him at the time, ‘Every apology you make and every concession you give is just feeding the beast and making it stronger. Ultimately they're going to come for you and destroy this project.' And they did. I mean, that's what really killed the Corbyn project. It was the antisemitism thing. I mean, what finished it off. What delivered the coup-de-grace, of course, was the commitment to a second referendum on Brexit.” Chris also recounts his own experience as a victim of coordinated attacks which led to his being ousted from the Labour Party.

Recent history, from the debt and migration crises to Brexit, has led many observers to argue that the EU's best days are behind it. Over the past decade, right-wing populists have come to power in Poland, Hungary, and beyond—many of them winning elections using strident anti-EU rhetoric. At the same time, Russia poses a continuing military threat, and the rise of Asia has challenged the EU's economic power. But in Embattled Europe: A Progressive Alternative (Princeton UP, 2021), renowned European historian Konrad Jarausch counters the prevailing pessimistic narrative of European obsolescence with a rousing yet realistic defense of the continent—one grounded in a fresh account of its post–1989 history and an intimate understanding of its twentieth-century horrors. An engaging narrative and probing analysis, Embattled Europe tells the story of how the EU emerged as a model of democratic governance and balanced economic growth, adapting to changing times while retaining its value system. The book describes the EU's admirable approach to the environment, social welfare, immigration, and global competitiveness. And it presents underappreciated European success stories—including Denmark's transition to a green economy, Sweden's restructuring of its welfare state, and Poland's economic miracle. Embattled Europe makes a powerful case that Europe—with its peaceful foreign policy, social welfare solidarity, and environmental protection—offers the best progressive alternative to the military adventurism and rampant inequality of plutocratic capitalism and right-wing authoritarianism.

In this episode of the RiskReversal Podcast, hosts Dan Nathan and Guy Adami are joined by Stuart Sopp, CEO and co-founder of Current. They discuss various economic topics, starting with the state of the US consumer, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck and heavily involved in the gig economy. They explore the effects of recent retail earnings, the impact of tariffs on companies like Walmart and Target, and the evolving job market. The conversation shifts to international economic issues, including interest rates in Europe and the UK's post-Brexit economic challenges. The Fed's monetary policy and its potential consequences are also examined. The episode concludes with a discussion on investment opportunities, energy inflation, the potential risks of stable coins, and the future of AI. Sopp provides insights into Current's growth, consumer behavior, and how the company leverages technology to better serve its customers. Show Notes Where's Mamadou?

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Frances Fukuyama famously declared that we had reached the “end of history.” He meant that the big arguments, the major ideological struggles, were now all in the past, and that liberal democracy would prevail from then on. The rest would be just cordial arguments about policy. That peaceful kingdom has obviously not come to pass. Some might argue that Fukuyama's core thesis is still true. Liberal democracy lacks a coherent, universal rival. No alternative ideology has matched its global appeal or institutional resilience. Even authoritarian regimes adopt democratic trappings (e.g., elections in Russia) to gain legitimacy, implicitly acknowledging liberal democracy's normative power. That said, Fukuyama clearly underestimated internal challenges within democracies—polarization, disinformation, and inequality—evident in events like the U.S. Capitol riot or Brexit. These weaken the system's appeal and stability. While history may not have “ended,” liberal democracy remains a dominant, yet contested, paradigm. Its triumph is neither inevitable nor complete, as cultural, economic, and political forces continue to shape ideological battles globally. These are some of the issues that Hunter Baker looks at in his new book Postliberal Protestants: Baptists Between Obergefell and Christian Nationalism. And, if you're not Baptist, don't be turned off by the sub-title. Baker argues – I think convincingly – that the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest protestant denomination in the country, is in some ways a proxy for all of evangelicalism. I think he's mostly right, and that's why I think his book should be read not just by Baptists, but by all Christian leaders who want to have a role in shaping important public conversations in the 2020s and beyond. Also, Hunter Baker's argument for religious liberty – a cause long championed by Southern Baptists – is one that I think bears particular attention in this era in which we've seen a resurgence of religious intolerance both in the United States and around the world. Hunter Baker has both a law degree and a Ph.D., and he's the provost and dean of faculty at North Greenville University, in South Carolina. He is the author of four books, and you may have seen his byline at WORLD Magazine, where he is a frequent contributor to WORLD Opinions. In a spirit of full disclosure, I should also say that Hunter is a friend, someone I turn to regularly for counsel and fellowship. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

Het houdt de Britten al jaren bezig en iedereen heeft er een mening over: de zaak Lethby. Lucy Letby, ook wel 'The Angel of Death' genoemd, is een Britse verpleegkundige die werd veroordeeld voor de moord op zeven baby’s en poging tot moord op zeven andere babies. Voor de ene Brit is Letby een van de ergste seriemoordenaars in de geschiedenis van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Voor de ander, waaronder ook een aantal internationale medici, zit ze onschuldig vast. De laatste groep gelooft nu dat er voldoende bewijs is om haar vrij te krijgen. Het tweede onderwerp is iets wat deze week in het Verenigd Koninkrijk voor veel ophef heeft gezorgd: De belasting op gokken wordt verhoogd en dat zet vooral in de Britse paardenwereld kwaad bloed. Uit protest tegen de plannen van de minister van financien zal op 10 september voor het eerst in de geschiedenis geen paardenraces plaatsvinden, er wordt gestaakt. In plaats daarvan zal er worden gedemonstreerd in Westminster, in de hoop om minister Reeves op andere gedachten te brengen. Ook in deze aflevering Voor alles is een eerste keer en ik ben er heilig van overtuigd dat dit de eerste keer is dat bij BNR woorden als skibidi, delulu, Lewk en inspo zullen vallen. Maar nu ze zijn opgenomen in de Cambridge Dictionary, houdt niemand ons meer tegen. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

What does it take to go from microwaving jalapeño poppers at Old Orleans to co-founding two of London's most beloved restaurants? In this episode of The Go-To Food Podcast, Tim Siadatan tells the story of his unlikely start in hospitality, the life-changing opportunity of Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, and the discipline and creativity he absorbed while training under some of the city's most influential chefs.Tim shares how formative stints at St. John and Moro shaped his approach to food, fire, and flavour, and why opening Trullo felt like the right moment to bring his own vision of Italian cooking to life. He reflects on the lessons of building a restaurant with soul, the tough realities of the industry, and the importance of serving food that people really want to eat.Then came Padella — the pasta bar that would go on to attract legendary queues. Tim lifts the curtain on its creation, the sheer logistics of cooking 700 plates of pasta a day, and the decisions that go into everything from whether to serve fresh or dried pasta to how you manage a team through the challenges of Covid and Brexit.From his Old Orleans beginnings to the queues outside Padella, Tim's journey is packed with memorable moments: Jamie Oliver's Fifteen and its transformative sourcing trips, learning fire cooking at Moro and the art of salads at St. John, the logistical realities of serving 700 plates of pasta a day, and the endless debate of fresh versus dried. He recalls near-drowning off the coast of San Sebastián, long Italian lunches from Tuscany to Amalfi, banning one very creepy regular, and why a Tuscan mixed grill followed by his mum's lemon-crunch pie would be the dream way to end any meal.-----Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that's always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

First: how Merkel killed the European dream ‘Ten years ago,' Lisa Haseldine says, ‘Angela Merkel told the German press what she was going to do about the swell of Syrian refugees heading to Europe': ‘Wir schaffen das' – we can handle it. With these words, ‘she ushered in a new era of uncontrolled mass migration'. ‘In retrospect,' explains one senior British diplomat, ‘it was pretty much the most disastrous government policy of this century anywhere in Europe.' The surge of immigrants helped swing Brexit, ‘emboldened' people-traffickers and ‘destabilised politics' across Europe. Ten years on, a third of the EU's member states within the Schengen area have now imposed border controls. Can freedom of movement survive in its current form? Lisa joined the podcast alongside Oliver Moody, Berlin correspondent for The Times. Next: the cultural impact of the railways It's been 200 years since the world's first public train travelled from Shildon to Stockton – across County Durham. Richard Bratby argues that this marked the start of a new era for Britain and the world: ‘no invention between the printing press and the internet has had as profound a cultural impact as the railways'.  How can we explain the romantic appeal of the railways? Richard joined the podcast to discuss, alongside Christian Wolmar, author of over twenty books about the railways including The Liberation Line.And finally: who is the Greatest Of All Time?What do Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Tom Brady have in common? Their acolytes would argue that they are the GOAT of their sport – the Greatest Of All Time. Why are fans so obsessed with the GOAT label? Are pundits guilty of recency bias? And does it really matter anyway? Journalist Patrick Kidd joined the podcast to discuss, alongside the Spectator's Sam McPhail.Plus: Madeline Grant asks why not show J.D. Vance the real Britain? Hosted by William Moore and Gus Carter.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

While George Osborne is away “stirring the pot” (this time with JD Vance),Ed Balls is joined by author and columnist Sarah Vine for a powerfully candid conversation about her explosive memoir, How Not to Be a Political Wife.Sarah gives the unfiltered story of her marriage and divorce from Michael Gove, revealing how the "toxic culture" of Westminster shattered friendships with the Camerons, took a toll on her mental health, and why she considered Dominic Cummings the true "third person" in her marriage.Plus, Ed and George pull back the curtain on one of Westminster's most mysterious institutions: the Whips' Office. Forget the myths of blackmailers and dark arts; the pair explain what whips really do, what the "usual channels" are, and share the incredible theory of how one fateful appointment in 2014 may have inadvertently changed the course of British history and led to Brexit.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

Na decennialang gesteggel over en weer heeft de Britse regering heeft eindelijk een klap gegeven op de bouw van een derde aanvliegroute voor Heathrow. Schiphol heeft zes landingsbanen, Charles de Gaulle in Parijs heeft er vier, maar Heathrow, Europa’s drukste luchthaven moet het met twee landingsbanen doen. Hoog tijd dus voor uitbreiding, maar wie zegt dat het er deze keer dan echt van gaat komen? En we kunnen er niet omheen, ook prins Andrew komt ter sprake. Want als de Britten prins Andrew bijna vergeten zijn, duikt het pikzwarte schaap van de koninklijke familie weer op. Dit keer in de vorm van een nieuwe biografie over hem die donderdag naar buitenkomt. In Entitled: The rise and fall of the house of York'', wordt in detail geschreven over onder andere zijn relatie met zijn ex-vrouw, zijn extravagante levensstijl, en niet geheel onverwacht, zijn dubieuze vriendschap kindermisbruiker Jeffrey Epstein. De pers smult ervan, lezers kunnen niet wachten tot het eindelijk donderdag is maar of ze op Buckingham Palace ook een exemplaar zullen aanschaffen, is nog maar de vraag. Ook in deze aflevering We hadden het vorige week over Palestine Action, een organisatie die door de Britse regering is aangemerkt als een terreurgroep. Volgens veel Britten 'Volledig onterecht'. Honderden mensen demonstreerden afgelopen zaterdag in Londen tegen het verbod op die groep. Ruim 500 actievoerders werden gearresteerd waarvan de helft 60 jaar en ouder. Het weerhoudt actievoerders niet om de Londense straten op te zoeken - meer demonstraties dreigen. En dus ook meer druk op Starmer van politie, politiek en publiek om het verbod op Palestine Action in te trekken.

Nick Cohen talks to former Conservative MP and minister Dr Phillip Lee about the Brexit Omertà that is killing the Conservative Party. Dr Lee, now a practising GP, blames the party's spectacular demise partly on its failure to call out Nigel Garage and the Reform Party for the failure of Brexit and the dire consequences. The elephant in the roomPhillip Lee that although few people want to talk about Brexit, they are prepared to talk about the many problems either caused or exacerbated by Brexit. He says, "Look at the boats thing... when we were members of the European Union and Dublin protocols, we could turn these people around to where they'd first entered the European Union. Okay. That was what we were able to do. Now that we're outside the European Union, we can't turn these boats around once they're on the beach."He adds, "Now, how many people in this country actually realise that Brexit has made, dealing with the boats coming across the channel harder? I suspect very, very few people understand that factual point. So why isn't the Labour government saying that? Because they don't want to open up the discussion of. European Union membership being positive."Government by focus group is wrong Phillip Lee asserts that UK political parties mistakenly and all to frequently delegate their political judgment to poorly informed focus groups, saying "we rely upon focus groups from people who are often ill-informed...It is just a fact. They don't understand the complexity of trading in negotiations. They don't understand the complexity of just-in-time manufacturing, they don't understand the challenges of geopolitics or whatever. The reason in great part is not because they can't, it's because they've gotta get the kids to school. They've gotta put food on the table. They've got busy, busy lives. They're being stretched, left, right, and centre to care for elderly and everything else..." He warns, That just takes us down the path, which we are now too far down almost, of having a country that's not fit for purpose and not sustainable, not tenable. In fact, in the medium term, we have to be, we've gotta turn that around. We've gotta start to get to a situation where our democracy people are more informed."Public is being manipulated all over again on Brexit Phillip Lee argues that Nigel Farage counters the obvious failure of Brexit with the absurd claim that it just hadn't been "done right". He adds," Farage is cleverly tapping into the fact that nothing's changed. In fact, everything's got worse. But instead of people concluding it's got worse because of Brexit, he twists it as...t's not the Brexit that people voted for."Well, the Brexit that people voted for was never going to happen again. People were lied to and manipulated, and I think until a political party that's got a chance of forming a government in this country is honest with people about this straightforward, informs them of the reality." Failure to be honest with the public could lead to Reform in power Phillip Lee says failure to treat the public as adults could lead to the disaster of Farage in Number 10, saying "It's just going in the path of Reform, isn't it? ... we're going to have our Trump moment and most of us are gonna have heads in our hands about it."Read all about it!Nick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.
