Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Marr

On a very fast-moving day in Washington, Simon's breaking news update for "Tonight with Andrew Marr" on the UK's LBC.

Nick Cohen and Robert Saunders, the author and academic, discuss historical political party splits in Britain, particularly in the 1920s when the Liberals split and Labour formed, contrasting with the current situation where both left and right-wing votes are fragmented. Nick and Robert analyse the current political landscape, noting that while the right-wing vote is divided with Nigel Farage being popular, the centre-left could dominate British politics if it remains united. The discussion highlighted the challenges of multi-party democracy under the first-past-the-post system and the potential for new parties like the Greens and a Corbyn-led radical left party to impact the political landscape.They talk about the decline of the two-party system in the UK, highlighting how Labour's popularity has dropped significantly since the 2024 election. Labour barely won a third of the vote in 2024 but still secured a majority of seats under the first-past-the-post system, leading to concerns about the system's fairness. Robert explains that the decline of the two-party system can be traced back to the 1950s, when Labour and the Conservatives together accounted for 97% of the vote, compared to 65% by 2010. They also discuss how Brexit and the implosion of the Liberal Democrats in 2015 temporarily reversed this trend, but Robert believes these were anomalous elections and that the longer-term pattern of decline continues.Tory party is dying on its feet Possibly the most dramatic and most influential event driving current politics is the slow agonising death of the Conservative Party. Robert says "This is a party that used to be anchored in all sorts of important institutions that was very deeply rooted in the world of British business. That was connected to institutions like the Church of England, the armed forces, the kind of voluntarist culture, and that also meant it had a lot of kind of different sources of information and ideas flowing into it. It's either cut itself off from those things, or those things have essentially died. So it's become a kind of tree with no roots, and then I don't think it's entirely surprising, therefore, that it crashed down in the way that it did in 2024. "He adds "The biggest danger for the conservative party was that they took refuge in comfortable myths about their defeat. And I think that's what they've been doing."Read all about it!

Die ontmoeting van Amerikaanse president Donald Trump en Rusland se Vladimir Putin volgende week in Hongarye is van die tafel af. 'n Withuis-amptenaar sê daar is geen planne vir 'n ontmoeting in die nabye toekoms nie. 'n Voorbereidende vergadering tussen die Amerikaanse buitelandse sake-minister Marco Rubio en sy Russiese eweknie Sergei Lavrov sou hierdie week plaasgevind het, maar die Withuis sê die twee het 'n "produktiewe" telefoonoproep gehad en 'n vergadering is nie meer nodig nie. Die Withuis het nie verder kommentaar gelewer nie. Simon McDonald, die voormalige hoof van die Britse diplomatieke diens, het aan LBC-televisie se Andrew Marr gesê hy dink Putin het Trump aan die neus gelei.

This week saw potentially the boldest moment of Keir Starmer's leadership, as the Government announced its white paper - Restoring Control over the Immigration System. According to the Prime Minister, it marks a a significant overhaul of UK immigration policy.The headlines, however, have been less kind - focussing on the wording of his speech announcing the plans, specifically on the phrase ‘island of strangers'... Some were quick to compare this to Enoch Powell's infamous ‘Rivers of Blood' speech in which Powell talks of white British people becoming ‘strangers in their own country'.Hannah Barnes is joined by Andrew Marr and Rachel Cunliffe.Sign up to the New Statesman's daily politics newsletter: Morning Call Submit a question for a future episode: You Ask Us Hosted on Acast.

To Snap or Not to Snap?... As we turn to October 2007, election fever has taken over the UK - everyone from journalists to the opposition to Ed Balls himself is expecting Gordon Brown to call a snap general election. But with the polls lurching back towards the Tories, Brown gets cold feet. In the final episode of this series, Deborah Mattinson rejoins the series to recall those final war room discussions with Gordon Brown himself and his closest advisors, discussions that end up with the election… aborted. Brown chooses to make this public in a blockbuster Downing Street interview with Andrew Marr, who joins us in the studio for the second half of the show to take us behind the scenes at that momentous juncture. How did he end up with the scoop, what was Gordon Brown's demeanor in the room, and why did he decide to break the news as soon as he walked out the door of number 10?
