Podcast appearances and mentions of Arron Banks

Nigel Farage's 'Doge unit' which has been charged with exposing waste in Reform UK's councils will expose "the biggest national scandal we've seen in a decade", one of its key figures says.Arron Banks - who was dubbed one of the "bad boys of Brexit" after he helped to fund one Nigel Farage's Brexit campaign at the 2016 European Union referendum - is helping to head up the unit as it seeks to show voters that Reform UK is focused on getting a better result for taxpayers.Banks said the findings would be bigger than the Daily Telegraph's uncovering of widescale abuses of the MPs' expenses system which led to dozens of MPs quitting, others being imprisoned and the historic resignation of the Commons speaker in 2009. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the BizNews Briefing DA finance spokesman Mark Burke explains why the party isn't budging on the ANC's proposed 0.5% rise in VAT; Rob Hersov rips into corrupt politicians and whether the scales are finally falling from South African eyes; Reform insider and West of England mayoral candidate Arron Banks provides unique insights on the White House's plans for Africa; Donald Trump hosts Kid Rock, smashes long-time concert ticket abuse; and RIP sporting surgical superstar Dr Willem vd Merwe.

At BNC#7 in Hermanus, the UK's largest-ever political funder (of Brexit), Arron Banks, delivered a hard-hitting keynote on political disruption. He criticised South Africa's political status quo, argued that a reform movement could upend the ANC and DA, and highlighted Trump's unorthodox but effective leadership style. Banks also explored the geopolitical chess game between the US, China, and Russia, predicting a major shift in Africa's global influence. With topics ranging from economic nationalism to artificial intelligence, his speech painted a picture of a world in rapid transformation. Following his keynote speech, Arron Banks engaged in a candid Q&A session with BizNews founder Alec Hogg, addressing a range of topics with his characteristic directness. The discussion touched on the evolving political landscape, the role of media, and the impact of Brexit, while also delving into business, governance, and international relations. Banks provided insights into key challenges facing the UK and offered his perspective on navigating political and economic uncertainty.

The BizNews Conference 7 in Hermanus is in full swing, featuring top speakers like Deputy President Paul Mashatile, Discovery CEO Adrian Gore, and UK entrepreneur Arron Banks. Highlights include sharp insights from political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki on BEE and Eskom CEO Dan Marokane on tackling load shedding. Stay tuned for full interviews and exclusive content on BizNewsTV.

Entrepreneur Arron Banks shot to prominence during and after the UK's 2016 Brexit Referendum, where financial support for ‘Leave' made him the country's largest-ever political donor. Later that year, Banks and political ally Nigel Farage were Donald Trump's first foreign visitors after the returned US President's first shock victory. In this fascinating interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg, Banks explains why South Africa is key in the Trump Administration's strategy to address global political imbalances, cautioning about likely consequences from the ANC's doubling down in its tug of the Eagle's tail feathers. He also shares his SA connections; the spectacular growth of Farage's Reform Party (now leading UK polls); and a long-running R150m fraud case against the South African miner who hosted Ramaphosa at the RWC. Banks will speak about Trump and SA at BNC#7.

Sit back, pour yourself a drink and join GB News' Political Editor Christopher Hope at his regular table in a Westminster pub where he will discuss the latest insider political intrigue and gossip with everyone from popstars to politicians in a seismic general election year. New episodes released every Friday.In this week's episode, Christopher Hope is joined by former UKIP backer Arron Banks. He says ten Conservative MPs will defect to Reform UK if Nigel Farage comes out of retirement to lead the party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Reagan Revolution and “greed is good” remain in full swing, ushering in a level of wealth inequality that surpasses the Gilded Age.  "Progressives, especially, must recognize that pres erving constitutional freedoms depends on winning the fight for economic liberties. Treating them as separate goals will ultimately mean losing out on both," writes Caroline Fredrickson, the former president of the American Constitution Society, the Democrats' answer to Leonard Leo's Federalist Society and his $1.6 billion war chest. You've probably never heard of the American Constitution Society, because they haven't been as effective. In September, Fredrickson wrote a damning piece for The Atlantic explaining why, taking herself and other Democrats to task for packing our courts with corporate-friendly judges under recent Democratic administrations, including the current one. It seemed enough for Democrats that a judge was a woman, nonwhite, and cared about protecting reproductive healthcare. As a result, for decades, our courts have become a rubber stamp for rolling back regulations and defying antitrust laws. Even the Biden-appointed antitrust Elizabeth Warren protégé Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission, has been powerless against the corporate defenders packed on our courts. Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Jesse Eisinger of ProPublica, author of The Chicken Shit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives, explains that to undo the Reagan Revolution, prioritize appointing judges who will uphold antitrust laws and protect unions. To be true allies to women and nonwhite people, who are harder hit by economic downturns, fight for economic justice as the foundation for social justice. The Democrats need to get clear on that and respond with a robust judicial appointment strategy immediately, while there's still time.  This week's bonus show, available for our listeners at the Truth-tell level and higher, will feature questions and comments from our listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher. Exclusively for our Patroen community at the Truth-teller level and higher, mark your calendars for the January 18th 8pm ET social media workshop to be held over Zoom–on how to kick our Twitter habit and use our social media voices for good in the world in 2024 and beyond–with organizer Rachel Brody of the movement to Replace Jay Jacobs, the disastrous chair of the New York state Democrats who cost us the House.

Hello! We've got a Some Dare Call It Conspiracy extra portion for you here.. this is a blogcast that Neil recorded a while ago and it's a bit of an interesting one. At the time Neil was still dangling his feet in the conspiracy world quite heavily. At that time, the EU was considered in the conspiracy narrative, the worst thing of all time. It was a stepping stone to the New World Order, it was tyrannical, imposing all sorts of laws on us and making our lives particularly hellish. During this journey, Neil discovered that wasn't particularly true. So the interesting thing about this blogcast series, is how at the beginning Neil is pandering to the Conspiracy audience whilst actually finding information from the conspiracy influencers to not be true. It also includes Mind Control, Manipulation Programs, Media Manipulaition, Think Tanks, The Oil Industry, stolen elections and all the stuff that should have appealed to the conspiracists, but in this case, didn't at all because it didn't fit their narrative. This is the story of Cambridge Analytica, a true conspiracy largely ignored by the conspiracy crowd. —---- Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is produced entirely by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders.

It is no exaggeration to say that dark money is now a major factor in our politics - and the lack of transparency threatens the democratic process. The 2016 Brexit referendum was the pilot episode of a new global horror show: nationalistic politics fuelled by hidden global donors. In this episode hosts Luke Cooper and Zoe Williams talk to Peter Geoghegan on his path-breaking new book, Democracy for Sale. In a jaw dropping discussion he explains how we still have no idea about the ultimate source of the huge amounts of cash that the Democratic Unionist Party and Arron Banks spent in the 2016 referendum.  This podcast is part of an on-going collaboration between the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Another Europe Is Possible. For more information on the ideas discussed in this podcast check out Peter's book:  https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Peter-Geoghegan/Democracy-for-Sale--Dark-Money-and-Dirty-Politics/24294091

On our third episode of byline, we speak with journalist Peter Geoghegan, author of the new book Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics, tracking the money that flows through British politics. We talk to Peter about Brexit, the DUP, Arron Banks, as well as Peter's career, his work with openDemocracy, and his encounters with Steve Bannon. Byline is made possible by our Patreon supporters.

Winston Peters has denied hiring a team of British political operatives to work on the New Zealand First election campaign. That's despite a report out of London that New Zealand First has engaged Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore of the pro-Brexit Leave.EU campaign. Speaking to The Telegraph, Wigmore promised to bring "mischief, mayhem and guerrilla warfare" to the campaign trail. In response Winston Peters quoted President Ronald Reagan saying 'there they go again.' before going on to say "The clickbait journos can't help themselves". "Not only have I not hired such a crew but it is impossible to see how they would even gain entry into the country." The Telegraph's chief political correspondent Christopher Hope is sticking with the story - which he has re-confirmed with Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore. He speaks to Kim Hill.

In the forty-fourth episode we explore the Wrong Tool Fallacy, starting with Trump using the Dow Jones as a measure of the entire economy and Jared Kushner using number of pages as a measure of the quality of his Middle East peace plan.In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at the very concept of democracy itself, and then watch Arron Banks pit his high-school history against an actual expert.In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from a homeopath, some Young Earth Creationists and Nigel Tufnell from Spinal Tap, and we learn a lot about Naranjo Algorithms, radiocarbon dating, and amps that go up to 11.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we break down the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at our new website at http://fallacioustrump.com/ft44You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donations

Ursula von der Leyen’s agenda for the European Commission. This is a big chapter and - we fear - a long episode. The last chapter (and last of our episodes on v.d.Leyen’s political guidelines) is all about democracy; about securing our democracy and safeguarding our European democratic electoral processes, which of course is very fitting as the UK’s political parties have gone all out for their own general election campaigns with various stories already emerging about referendum validity, foreign interference and manipulation of the electorate.  Rich and Carola try desperately to not get hung up too much on UK’s election news, which with all the gaffs coming out from all sides is admittedly rather tempting. But they cover the proposed Conference of Europe, attempt to fill out a questionnaire about the European Union (link to online questionnaire below), discuss the value of the civil service and then Rich has a rant about Carola calling the Westminster parliament the mother of all parliaments and finds a more fitting likening in a doddering great-great grandmother with hearing aids and challenged with mobility.  Moving away from Brexitland’s inability to move in any direction, they have a bit of fun quoting from an article that discussed what happened with the Spitzenkandidaten-system, but written in the form of a murder mystery. Be prepared for many suspects and many culprits as the reasons why the Spitzenkandidatsystem failed this time around has quite complex contexts. This will hopefully be resolved during v.d.Leyen’s tenure, as laid out in the last paragraphs of the guidelines of v.d.Leyen, who has promised to resolve and pin down ways the European Union will select its leaders in the future.  Main Source Ursula Von Der Leyen: Political guidelines for the next Commission (2019-2024) - "A Union that strives for more: My agenda for Europe" 16 July 2019  (pdf English Version (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/sites/beta-political/files/political-guidelines-next-commission_en.pdf) ) Coverage about expense scandals related to Nigel Farage BBC (04/06/2019): Nigel Farage refuses to attend EU hearing into Arron Banks cash (www (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48516348) )   Guardian (21/05/2019): EU to investigates Nigel Farage over expenses funded by Arron Banks (www (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/21/eu-investigate-nigel-farage-failure-declare-expenses-arron-banks) )     Conference of Europe Consultation on the Future of Europe (www (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/democratic-change/future-europe/consultation-future-europe_en) ), including    online consultation (www (https://ec.europa.eu/consultation/runner/Future-of-Europe?surveylanguage=en) )  white paper (www (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/future-europe/white-paper-future-europe-and-way-forward_en) )  and how to get involved in citizen dialogue initiatives (www (https://ec.europa.eu/info/events/citizens-dialogues_en) )    Other ways for citizens to have a voice and understand more about the EU European Citizen Initiatives: “Get a greater say in the policies that affect your lives.

Since the minute that British citizens voted, in a 2016 referendum, to leave the European Union, confusion and disorganization has consumed the U.K. Three years later, little has changed: confusion and disorganization may carry the U.K. over the cliff of a no-deal Brexit with devastating economic consequences.   While we can’t predict what will happen on the deadline of March 29th, we continue to learn about what brought the U.K. to this precarious position. Like the 2016 presidential election in the U.S., the campaign for Brexit employed divisive social media campaigns, mysterious sources of financing, Cambridge Analytica, and questionable meetings with Russians. At the center of it was a man named Arron Banks, an insurance magnate who is happy to take credit for his efforts to promote Brexit by whatever means necessary. Ed Caesar has reported on Banks’s outsized role in the referendum, and found that Banks is had been under investigation in Britain and in South Africa, where he has business interests in diamonds, as well as a person of interest in the Mueller investigation. Caesar spoke with David Remnick about the shady past and the uncertain future of Brexit.  Plus, a visit with Roomful of Teeth, the Grammy-winning vocal octet that’s building a unique repertoire and redefining classical singing for the future.

Zack, Jenn, and Alex discuss the big-deal political developments in Algeria — where longtime ruler Abdelaziz Bouteflika has decided not to run for a fifth presidential term. The decision was a big victory for a protest movement in the authoritarian country, but now nobody knows who’s going to be running Algeria in the near future. On Elsewhere, they continue answering listener questions about Brexit, this time focusing on questions about Russian interference and the real reasons why so many Brits wanted to leave the EU to begin with. Zack ponders European cheese regulations, Alex puns on the name Arron Banks, and Jenn talks about Britain’s (formerly) “rockin’ economy.” Links!

Will Labour’s Barry Gardiner ever recover from the “reveal” of that massive C4 poll that showed a firm shift to Remain across the country – and what does Ian really think of “Eyeroll Girl”? PLUS Ruth Fox of the Hansard Society drops in to explain just how messy the Government’s use of “Henry VIII” Statutory instruments has become (spoiler: they have almost no time left to do what they need to do). And she unpicks the Parliamentary practicalities of a People’s Vote. “There’s a reason why ministers always go on Marr. It’s because they get an easy ride.”This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ian Dunt and Naomi Smith. Audio production: Sophie Black. Producer: Andrew Harrison.

Lesley and I were both enthralled by the US midterm elections. I followed them on CNN and she on C4. Still her go to news channel despite the Nicola Sturgeon Brexit debate debacle. The blue surge in the States ushered in a swathe of new, progressive Democrats to the House of Representatives,but has Donald Trump managed, with typical sleight of hand, another master stroke of deflection with his sacking of Jeff Sessions and attack on CNN's Jim Acosta? Lesley's most recent column in the National focused on the report for the Revive Coalition by Dr Ruth Tingay and Andy Wightman on Scotland's driven grouse moors. Lesley asks if there can be a united campaign to rewild and repopulate this barren 20% of Scotland's land, and how radical will the Scottish Government be prepared to be in challenging land owners. Just when Dundee seems to be breaking free of its post-industrial gloom Michelin has announced the closure of its tyre factory with the loss of over 800 jobs. Is it a case of two steps forward, three steps back for the city, or can government, unions, and the workers save the plant? The BBC made the controversial decision to interview Leave. EU’s Arron Banks after his referral to the National Crime Agency. Was this the right decision? And was Andrew Marr the right man? We also take time for personal reflections on loss as we approach the centenary of the Armistice.

Brexiteer Arron Banks wordt ervan beschuldigd illegaal geld gedoneerd te hebben aan de pro-Brexit campagne. Met donaties ter waarde van ruim 9 miljoen euro was de Britse zakenman twee jaar geleden één van de belangrijkste geldschieters. Banks heeft goede connecties met Nigel Farage en zou ook banden hebben met Rusland. Correspondent Anne Saenen vertelt waarom Londen in de ban is van deze zaak rondom de zelfverklaarde ‘bad boy' Arron Banks.

Changing Politics is back for a second run, and as the nights draw in and the temperature drops journalist Marie Le Conte and comedian Gráinne Maguire turn their attention to the issue of homelessness. The government currently does not keep figures on how many homeless people die each year, and this is something that needs to change. They speak to Melanie Onn MP, who was homeless at 17 and is now campaigning for the government to invest the time and effort to reduce homelessness that was invested in the early 00s, and to Maeve McLenaghan from The Bureau for Investigative Journalism, who has been working out what the numbers may actually be. And as ever, Marie and Gráinne have a small, practical step you can take which would make a real difference to the problem.They also discuss the week's news, including Arron Banks's troubles, Tracey Crouch's resignation, bullying MPs and a shit-ton of hospitality.You can find us on Twitter @ChangingPoliPod, and on Facebook @changingpol.

Cindy Yu brings you the best of Sunday's political interviews. This podcasts features highlights from Arron Banks, James Brokenshire, Yvette Cooper, Kemi Badenoch and Sir Vince Cable. Produced by Matthew Taylor.

Iain & Jacqui mark the first anniversary of the For the Many podcast, but the celebrations are tinged with sadness. They analyse Tracey Crouch’s resignation, look back on the budget, wonder if David Cameron really wants to return to front line politics, as well as look at the latest Brexit developments, the US midterms and question if Andrew Marr was right to invite Arron Banks onto his programme. Lots of excellent listener questions too. Smut quota: Almost non existent.

Richard Porritt, Steve Anglesey and Geri Scott return with a round-up of another week of Brexit madness. The team tackle the Budget, Arron Banks and reveal listeners' suggestions for what should be on the new Brexit 50 pence piece. And, of course, another Brexiteer of the Week is crowned.

As yet another hot story breaks after we've recorded this week's show, Andrew Harrison talks to Ros Taylor about the escalation of investigations into the garrulous Mr Big of Leave. EU. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Juan José Gutiérrez, the executive director of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition, and Isabel Garcia, co-founder of Coalición de Derechos Humanos.With less than a week left before the midterm election, Donald Trump has announced that he would be sending up to 15,000 soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border. Meanwhile Republicans released an overtly racist campaign ad yesterday showing an undocumented migrant who was convicted of killing two policemen saying with a smile that he would soon escape and kill more people and then blaming Democrats for the deaths. Thursday’s weekly series “Criminal Injustice” is about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country. Paul Wright, the founder and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News (PLN), and Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, join the show. More than 1,000 Google employees and contractors briefly walked off the job yesterday in Europe and Asia amid complaints of racism, sexism, and abuse of executive authority in the workplace. More walkouts are scheduled today. Google’s chief executive said in a statement that the company will carefully weigh its employees demands and respond appropriately. Brian and John speak with Patricia Gorky, an activist and a tech worker in San Francisco. The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, issued a report yesterday showing that the Afghan government controls less territory than it has at any time since the US invasion. SIGAR said that the government of Ashraf Ghani controls only 55.5 percent of Afghanistan after 17 years of US military aid and support. Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Non-Violence, joins the show. Human Rights Watch, the US-based human rights organization, released a study yesterday based on interviews with more than 100 North Korean defectors now in South Korea, saying that North Korean government officials routinely commit sexual violence against women with impunity. The allegation is shocking, but critics say this is just another smear job to derail steps towards peace in Korea. Dr. Christine Hong, Associate Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz and a member of the Korea Policy Institute, joins Brian and John. The Bank of England this morning warned of an economic catastrophe if the UK leaves the European Union without a Brexit deal. Bank governor Mark Carney said that absent an agreement, the UK should expect gridlock in its ports and airports, inflation, and a collapse in the value of the pound. This comes as police open a criminal probe into pro-Brexit campaign donor Arron Banks, who has been the target of conspiracy theories relating to his business interest in Russia. Steve Hedley, senior assistant general secretary of the the UK’s Rail, Maritime, and Transport Workers Union, joins the show.Rep. Steve King, a Republican of Iowa, is one of the most conservative and anti-immigrant members of the House of Representatives. He calls himself a nationalist. Many of his detractors call him a bigot, a racist, and a white nationalist. King made a controversial tweet a few days ago and instantly moved his safe Republican seat to a toss-up. Is there a limit to xenophobia, even for conservative Republicans?

On this week’s podcast, Guardian columnist and former Russia correspondent RAFAEL BEHR joins us to explain the mind-crushing complexity of Withdrawal Bill day. What happened, who won (if anyone) and where do we go from here? Did Theresa May play Dominic Grieve like a sucker? And if she did, can the Rebels come back at her in any meaningful way? (We recorded on Wednesday 13 before May “allegedly” went back on her word to Grieve regarding the Meaningful Vote. Update minicast coming soon). Plus: Inside the sleazy world of Arron Banks, Isabel Oakeshott and Andy Wigmore, a story featuring ACTUAL Moscow Gold! The looming clash between Imaginary Brexit and Real Brexit. And why the Tommy Robinson Gammon Riots in Whitehall are really, truly worrying. “Tory rebels need to stop acting like time is on their side. It’s not. It’s on the Brexiters’ side.”This week’s REMAINIACS is presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt. Audio production: Jack Claramunt.

The Observer and The Sunday Times both ran front pages alleging Russian links to Arron Banks, the businessman who helped fund the Leave.EU campaign. The scoops were based on emails belonging to Mr Banks and his colleague Andy Wigmore. Mr Banks has called claims of a conspiracy with Russian officials "absurd". The journalist behind The Observer's version of the story explains to The Media Show how the story also ended up in The Sunday Times. Also in the programme, why are there still so many men on the airwaves? Andrea Catherwood is joined by Carole Cadwalladr of The Observer, Professor Lis Howell of City University, Vikki Cook, Ofcom's Director of Standards and Audience Protection and Rachel Corp, acting editor of ITV News. Presenter: Andrea Catherwood Producer: Richard Hooper.

This week on the no-bullshit Brexit podcast… Our special guest, Lewisham East MP and Remainer hero HEIDI ALEXANDER, on the Government’s 58 hidden economic impact surveys. Why won’t they release them? Plus: Ukip, Arron Banks and those allegations of campaign finance irregularities. The disconnect between voters and politicians.

This week on Chopper's Brexit Podcast listen to Arron Banks, Roland Rudd and Michael Deacon as they debate hard Brexit, new political parties and the death of Labour

Arron Banks is a British businessman and former Conservative Party donor, who came to prominence in October 2014 when he donated £1 million to UKIP. He talks to Becky Milligan about being co-founder of the Leave EU campaign, visiting Trump Tower and his future political career.

Skinny dipping with Nigel Farage, punching a business partner, and bankrolling Brexit - Edward Stourton tells the story of Arron Banks. What next for the man who spent more than £7 million campaigning for Britain to leave the EU? Producers: Ed Davey and Joe Kent.

On this week’s episode – The battle for Mosul is now in its seventh day and the Iraqi army says around 50 villages have been liberated from ISIS militants. But has a plan been made for what happens after the fight for the city is over? I put this to Rory Stewart, Minister of State at the Department for International Development. After years of negotiations, talks of Canada’s trade-deal with the EU broke down on Friday. Due to be signed next week and with all 28 member states in support of the agreement talks fell through as Belgium’s Wallonia region rejected the deal. The Canadian trade minister and president of the European Parliament say they hope it can still be signed. To discuss the implications of this impasse we hear from the former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, the head of Europe and trade policy at the Institute of Directors, Allie Renison and Dr Gerard Lyons, the co chair of economists for Brexit. The so-called jungle camp in Calais is due to close this week and the UK government is hurrying to fulfil its promise to take in unaccompanied minors. We hear from Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow, who is leading the fight to bring the children of Calais to Britain. Once again, the race to discover who will be the next leader of UKIP is underway, we speak to the leadership hopeful Raheem Kassam who is being backed by the party donor, Arron Banks. And finally, as ever, we have a team of top political pundits to discuss this week's news - political columnist Steve Richards, the political editor of the Sun David Wooding and Sky’s own senior political correspondent Beth Rigby. All on this week's Murnaghan podcast!
