Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. During the Personal Rule, Charles expanded the "Ship Money" tax to inland counties, leading to a landmark legal battle over the King's right to declare emergencies without Parliament. Religious tensions peaked as Archbishop William Laud imposed high-church practices, which many saw as a "popish plot." After failing to force a new prayer book on Scotland, Charles was compelled to recall Parliament, which then executed his minister Strafford. The crisis culminated in Charles's failed attempt to arrest five MPs inside the House of Commons, forcing him to flee London to gather an army for the coming Civil War. (4)1650

In this episode of GENN, Nick Breeze talks to Professor Mike Berners-Lee, Chair of the National Emergency Briefing (NEB), about why the UK is “not ready” for the accelerating climate and nature emergency.Visit: https://nebriefing.orgThey begin with the recent Europe-wide heat dome that led to an estimated 20,000 excess deaths and record breaking UK temperatures, then explore what this tells us about how exposed our societies have become to extreme weather. Mike explains why the conditions we are living through now are likely to be the least extreme we will ever see in the UK, with a super El Niño expected to drive even more intense heat in the near term.The conversation covers the UK's ageing infrastructure, under investment in resilience and the rapid shift from “one in a thousand year” events to risks that now carry a realistic chance of occurring every year. Mike argues that the climate and nature transition is entirely doable and economically attractive, highlighting analysis that shows large scale investment in net zero and retrofit pays back rapidly and creates skilled jobs across the country.Nick and Mike dig into the role of disinformation and comforting narratives such as “we cannot afford it” or “Britain is only one per cent of global emissions so does not matter,” and why these stories amount to denial of the scale of response now needed. Mike explains how the NEB takes a different view of the public, treating people as capable of handling difficult truth, and how honest communication can improve psychological health by replacing vague anxiety with clear agency.They discuss systemic risk across food security, national security and infrastructure breakdown, including the possibility of a future food shock that could act as a national wake up call. Mike describes the NEB's work to create trusted briefings for leaders and the public, the energy in the Westminster briefing where no one felt the situation was exaggerated, and the growing movement around the People's Emergency Briefing film presented by Chris Packham.You will also hear how NEB screenings are snowballing across the UK and beyond, how the initiative is building support for a televised government supported national emergency briefing on climate and nature, and why Mike believes there is “nothing not to like” about a fair green transition that strengthens communities, farmers and livelihoods.The episode closes with a focus on agency: from attending NEB screenings and inviting MPs, to getting involved in local resilience and non partisan political work, and helping to take this emergency briefing model international. Mike sets out a theory of change for how public engagement, honest information and systemic action can still turn the tide, even in the face of deep geopolitical barriers.Key topics:Europe-wide heat dome and excess deathsWhy “we are not ready” for extreme weatherUK infrastructure, heatwaves and super El NiñoNet zero investment, jobs and paybackDisinformation, denial and national narrativesFood security, biodiversity and systemic riskThe National Emergency Briefing and People's Emergency Briefing filmPublic agency, psychological health and community resilienceHow to get involved and help NEB go mainstreamLinks mentioned:National Emergency Briefing: nebriefing.orgWould you like a shorter, 2–3 paragraph version of these notes as well for platforms that truncate descriptions more aggressively?

Andy Burnham has promised to turn the whips' office into an ‘HR department' – but the former chief whip Simon Hart warns that the approach is ‘naive' and could leave the new prime minister unable to control his party.Hart explains why large majorities can be harder to manage than small ones, what Keir Starmer got wrong and why Burnham will begin making enemies as soon as he appoints his first cabinet. He also defends Kemi Badenoch's crackdown on Tory dissenters, arguing that there must be consequences when private disagreement becomes public disloyalty.Plus: does Parliament take MPs' safety seriously enough? Hart argues that security has improved significantly in recent years, and that the idea MPs are routinely left unprotected is a ‘myth'.Noa Hoffman speaks to Simon Hart, the former government chief whip and author of Ungovernable: The Political Diaries of a Chief Whip.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Police have arrested a man for threatening to kill Nigel Farage, just days after the tragic killing of former MP Ann Widdecombe, GB News understands.The suspect described himself as a terrorist on social media and warned the Reform UK leader: “I am going to shoot you in the head if you win".News of the arrest comes just hours after Reform UK home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf delivered a public address to highlight the security risks around political figures, and pledge a Reform government would provide suitable protection for both serving and former MPs.

It's been branded “the scariest company on the planet” and it is busy weaving itself into the fabric of Britain's NHS, defence establishment and beyond. Peter Thiel's Palantir has a terrible reputation – but do its products even work as billed? As MPs call for Palantir's £330m NHS contract to be scrapped and fears grow over Big Brother-style data sharing, we talk to Democracy for Sale founder Peter Geoghegan whose investigation into Palantir reveals a company that's a lot better at schmoozing than delivery – and how Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm helped land the NHS deal.How did a controversial US tech firm – whose AI powers military strikes in Gaza and Iran and ICE's immigration raids, and whose founder Peter Thiel thinks the NHS makes people sick – wheedle its way into Westminster? And what can we do about it? • Read about Peter and Lucas Amin's investigation on Democracy for Sale • Read the full 7,000 word investigation on the London Review of Books• Back us on Patreon – www.patreon.com/bunkercastWritten and presented by Group Editor Andrew Harrison.

Starmer has said his formal goodbyes and is somewhere in Ukraine trying to remind the world and future employers that he has international reach and influence. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham prepares to take over the top job as prime minister on Monday. It seems he is doing this by stealth, with MPs not being able to take a good look at him in the Commons before the Summer recess. Jeremy also discusses Ann Widdecombe's murder and the crushing defeat England faced against Argentina last night. Joining Jeremy Kyle to discuss all this: Assistant comment editor at the Telegraph, Poppy Coburn, former government special advisor, James Price, Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, Reform UK's mayoral candidate for London, Laila Cunningham, co-founder of Survivors Against Terror, Brendan Cox, and TalkSPORT reported Max Scott.

Nigel Farage is under fire over his £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire – but does British politics have a wider money problem? MPs earn a salary of just shy of £100,000 but for many that's just a sliver of the total pay packet. Side hustles, political gifts and personal donations can add millions more a year. So how does it all work – and where's the line?

There were tears, there was gags, there were plenty of World Cup references. Keir Starmer's final PMQs had something of the last day of school about it as he and Kemi Badenoch shared some rare bonhomie and Starmer reflected on his time in No 10.Tributes to Ann Widdecombe were paid at the start of Starmer's last trip to the Chamber, and there was a rare friendly atmosphere in parliament with MPs clearly keen to show that there is common ground despite the weekly mudslinging.Will some Labour MPs be wondering why they've just sacked the man they stood to applause? Will normal service resume at the next PMQs? And why don't we know almost anything about what Andy Burnham's plan for government is?The News Agents is a Global Production.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has revealed he gets 30 death threats a week - as ministers are accused of 'playing politics' with his safety. He will present the figures when he holds talks with the head of the MPs security team in a bid to improve protection for Reform MPs following the murder of Ann Widdecombe. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says these stats will likely lead to an overall review into security - as violence is on the rise. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kemi Badenoch has declared war on the Tory wets, removing the whip from Gavin Barwell after Theresa May's former chief of staff criticised her leadership and opposed the party's positions on net zero and the ECHR. Her allies insist this is not a purge, but proof that the Conservatives have changed. Is Badenoch finally imposing discipline on her party – or narrowing a broad church that is already struggling to fill its pews?Meanwhile, Andy Burnham has addressed the Parliamentary Labour Party, promising to listen to MPs and preside over a broader, more inclusive Labour party. But the demands are already piling up, from immigration and rural policy to coastal communities. Can Burnham keep everyone happy once he enters Downing Street – and will those championing him turn against him when he finally has to say no?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Noa Hoffman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The murder of Ann Widdecombe has sent shockwaves through Westminster and reignited the debate over politicians' security. But with questions still unanswered about the motive for the attack, Reform's response has already become politically charged. Is Nigel Farage right to argue that threats against him and his party have not been taken seriously – or is he ‘weaponising' Widdecombe's death for political advantage?Meanwhile, Andy Burnham is preparing to enter Downing Street, but Westminster is still struggling to work out what kind of prime minister he will be. Labour MPs are cautiously optimistic, yet many remain unconvinced that Burnham has the tactical judgement needed when the pressure mounts. With 322 MPs having backed him, his first challenge may be managing the expectations of the hundreds who will miss out on government jobs. Can he turn goodwill into authority – or will his opponents define him before he has a chance to define himself?Plus: Nigel Farage remains under pressure over his finances: is this his 'Mandelson' scandal?

A constitutional lawyer's defending MPs' generous Super scheme, saying it guards against corruption. Taxpayers contribute $2.50 for every dollar MPs put in - up to $36,000 dollars. Ordinary employers only contribute 3.5 percent of a worker's salary. Graeme Edgeler says MPs who know they'll be safe in retirement are less likely to look for money elsewhere. "It's the 'you're going to be looked after'. Yes, it's generous, but it's money that would come out of your salary, probably, if we didn't have the Super scheme - your salaries would be a bit higher."

Does it matter that MPs face a six-week wait before they can question the new prime minister? Sean Curran talks to expert Dr Ruxandra Serban. Also, we look at what Andy Burnham's agenda might mean for Westminster, MPs investigate the fall-out from recent public disorder in Northern Ireland and there's a call for voting to be made compulsory.

Nominations openned today for the next Labour leader and – spoiler alert – it looks as though Andy Burnham might clinch it. We strongly suspect he will be the only person to put his name forward, after Al Carns pulled out and rowed in behind the MP for Makerfield.In the background, Burnham's preparations for government are continuing, including a surprise intervention on foreign affairs and an email to the PLP setting out how he hopes to restore hope and a sense of togetherness to the Labour party. One key part of that plan is to soften the whips' office into something resembling an HR department, under which MPs would be free to vote against the government if they wished. That will please a lot of MPs – but is it sustainable?Noa Hoffman speaks to James Heale and Chris Curtis MP.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In an explosive GB News Tonight exclusive, we can reveal that the parliamentary standards committee set to investigate Nigel Farage is stacked with MPs who have publicly and explicitly attacked him, raising serious questions about whether the Reform UK leader can receive a fair and impartial hearing. From Labour MPs who reported Reform to the equalities watchdog for alleged Islamophobia, to a Lib Dem MP who referred GB News itself to Ofcom, we name the committee members and lay out the evidence. As Parliament's own Code of Conduct demands impartiality, critics are asking — is this a kangaroo court? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BURNHAM'S LEFT-WING COUP? HAS BRITAIN BECOME A BANANA REPUBLIC? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #ReformUK #GeneralElection #UKPolitics Westminster has done it again. Today Labour MPs queued up to salute their new leader as if the British people don't matter. No General Election. No manifesto. No mandate. Just another Westminster stitch-up. They tell us to shut up and accept it. I say rubbish. This country doesn't belong to MPs. It belongs to us. Today I'm asking whether Britain has become a democracy in name only. Has Parliament become a private members' club that picks Prime Ministers while voters are expected to clap politely? Are we becoming a Banana Republic where Westminster insiders decide who governs while the British people are expected to keep quiet? And isn't the timing remarkable? Reform UK has been leading the opinion polls for months. Nigel Farage has become the biggest electoral threat to the Westminster establishment. Yet while Andy Burnham gets the red-carpet treatment, Farage finds himself under relentless political and media scrutiny. Coincidence? Or panic from an establishment that knows the public has had enough? Tonight we'll debate:

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
