Podcasts about Brexit

The Newsmongers unfolds the seedy history of tabloid journalism, from the first printed ‘Strange Newes' sheets of the sixteenth century to the sensationalism of today's digital age. The narrative weaves from Regency gossip writers through New York's ‘yellow journalism' battles to the ‘sex and sleaze' Sun of the 1970s; and from the Brexit-backing populism of the Daily Mail to the celebrity-obsessed Mail Online of the 2000s. Colourful figures such as Daniel Defoe, Lord Northcliffe, Hugh Cudlipp, Rupert Murdoch and Robert Maxwell are brought to vivid life. From scandalous confessions to the Leveson Inquiry, the book explores journalists' unscrupulous methods, taking in phone hacking, privacy breaches and bribery. In the digital era, popular journalism succumbed to ‘churnalism' while a certain royal is seeking revenge on the tabloids today.

Digital IDs and homophobia. Two huge topics co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow have attempted to tackle in this episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, the podcast where you, the listeners, send in questions for us to discuss.Stuart and William don't see the questions before recording and they usually try to relate them back to nature, the countryside, or the environment but you the listener often take us in unexpected directions.The first unexpected turn comes from this question sent in by Clodagh in Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland - “The Prime Minister in England has said digital ID cards will come in. What do you think about that? Some say it won't stop the migrants coming across the channel in the small boats which is the quoted aim, others say its design is to squash people who show images of themselves on Twitter with a St Georges flag saying they are proud English. Is the idea good for anything, or abhorrent to you both?”.Stuart doubts digital ID cards will have any effect on migrants, since the process they use isn't legal and operates through the black market, while William notes that consolidating all IDs into one digital system could create security risks. Stuart compares the topic of digital ID cards to Brexit, saying he doesn't have enough information to form an opinion, and it currently doesn't concern or affect him at all. It “ doesn't even flex a hair follicle on my back at the moment.” William on the other hand observes that those who find digital ID systems abhorrent see them as excessive state interference, often influenced by a simplistic reading of George Orwell's novel 1984.The second bend in the metaphorical road comes in the guise of this question from Steven in Port Carlisle, England - “Do the Homophobes out there realise Homosexuals come from Heterosexual stock?”William compares homophobes to racists, suggesting they are either driven by an agenda, ignorance, or both. He emphasizes that a person's sexuality only matters to him in the context of a romantic relationship; otherwise, it is irrelevant. Stuart suggests taking an environmental perspective, examining arguments on environmentalism or sustainability, and identifying where any hypocrisy may exist.What do you make of this discussion?

What does it really take to build a fintech company that quietly fixes one of the most frustrating problems SMEs face every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Pierre-Antoine Dusoulier, the Founder and CEO of iBanFirst, for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, timing, and why cross-border payments have remained broken for so long.  Pierre-Antoine's story begins in London, where his early career as an FX trader felt like a compromise at the time, yet quietly gave him a front-row seat to inefficiencies most people accepted as normal. That experience would later shape two companies and a very clear point of view on how money should move across borders. Pierre-Antoine walks through his first venture, Combeast.com, one of France's earliest FX brokerages for retail investors, and what he learned from selling it to Saxo Bank and staying on to run Western European operations. That chapter matters, because it exposed the gap between how sophisticated FX markets really are and how poorly SMEs are served when FX and payments are bundled together inside traditional banks. Out of that frustration, IbanFirst was born in 2016 with a simple idea: treat cross-border payments as a specialist discipline, not a side feature. Today, IbanFirst serves more than 10,000 clients across Europe and processes over €2 billion in transactions every month. We dig into why growth has continued while many fintechs have slowed, from a product designed to be used daily, to proactive sales, to a new generation of CFOs and CEOs who expect the same clarity and speed at work that they get from consumer fintech tools.  Pierre-Antoine explains how real-time FX rates, payment tracking using SWIFT GPI, and multi-entity account management change the day-to-day reality for SMEs trading internationally. We also talk about Brexit, and how being rooted in continental Europe created an unexpected opening. Pierre-Antoine shares why expanding into the UK, including the acquisition of Cornhill, made sense, and why London's payments ecosystem still stands apart in scale and depth. Along the way, he is refreshingly open about the heavy investment required in compliance, trust, and regulation, and why nearly a third of IbanFirst's team focuses on operations and oversight. Looking ahead, Pierre-Antoine lays out a bold vision for the SME payments market, predicting a future where specialists replace banks in much the same way fintech reshaped consumer money transfers. As cross-border trade grows and currency volatility becomes a daily concern, his perspective raises an interesting question for anyone running an international business today:  if specialists already exist, why keep relying on systems that were never designed for how SMEs actually operate?

This is the last episode in this main series of A History of England. I may add others on specific topics – by all means use the comments to suggest any you'd like me to examine – or in response to interesting new developments.This episode looks at what has happened since the 2024 election. There's been a rise in xenophobia that sometimes shades into outright racism. A party of the hard right, Reform UK, is leading in the polls. Labour, in office though perhaps not in power, seems to have lost its sense of direction and has been pandering to Reform UK's views in the hope of winning back voters it has lost to them, with little sign of success so far. Indeed, its own standing just keeps sliding downwards.After that, I recap the series, from the days of Henry VIII, showing how England grew from a minor state on the edge of Europe to a leading power. Then, having pushed through the union with Scotland to form Great Britain, it became the ruling power of a major global empire. However, while the empire enriched a minority of people back home, it left the mass of the people in poverty, often in misery. Imperial wealth made individuals rich but not society as a whole.The twentieth century saw the empire collapse and British society become much more equal. In need of a new role, Britain tried being the partner of the United States and also a major member of the European Union. But the ‘special relationship' with the US seems pretty well dead in the water now and, in a major self-inflicted wound, the Brexit vote of 2016 took Britain out the EU. Now with a growing menace to the whole continent, including Britain, from Russia, the Starmer government is trying to put together new alliances without confronting its right-wing critics by working to rejoin the EU. Together with the anti-immigration stance it's taking to try to woo Reform UK voters back, that policy is making a return to economic growth more difficult than ever. That only stokes the grievances felt by many at home, encouraging the hard right further.Britain seems to caught in a dilemma of its own making. The Starmer government has adopted policies that are making things worse not better. Sadly, the logic of its position means it can't change those policies.Change though, and not the kind of change Reform UK proposes, is desperately needed to get Britain out of the mess that England has led it into.Quite a dilemma, as I said.Illustration: The British bulldog confused about the way forward.

This year has seen the inauguration of Donald Trump, the first ever UK-EU summit, continued conflict in Ukraine and other parts of the world, severe domestic and foreign policy challenges, as well as a changing political landscape in the UK. As 2025 draws to a close, Anand Menon is joined by UKICE stalwarts Catherine Barnard and Rob Ford for a discussion on the year gone by. They reflect on Trump 2.0 the Labour party's remarkable slump in the polls and the rise of its challengers, how Brexit dividing lines still influence how people vote, how the government's much-vaunted UK-EU reset has really gone, and, of course, some predictions for 2026.

Geert Laporte, Miriam Mukalazi, Robert Zischg, Philomena Apiko, Georg Krenn, Jamie Just, Stephan Scholz25 YEARS OF STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP IN TURBULENT TIMESAfrica-Europe relations and the Austrian Africa Strategy Twenty-five years have passed since the establishment of the EU–Africa Partnership at the first summit in Cairo, and seventeen years since the adoption of the historic Joint Africa–Europe Strategy in Lisbon in 2007, whose preamble says “Africa and Europe are bound together by history, culture, geography and a common future, as well as by a community of values – respect for human rights, freedom, equality, solidarity, justice, the rule of law and democracy.”Since then, the partnership has faced many tensions around diverging priorities like migration policies, vaccine distribution among others. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel–Hamas war have further exposed geopolitical rifts, and Brexit and the decline of French influence in West Africa have weakened Europe's traditional position on the continent and African scholars and policymakers continue to question the notion of a “partnership of equals” as long as power asymmetries, colonial legacies and the full historical context remain insufficiently addressed.Today, Europe is challenged to engage as a genuine partner with a more self-confident Africa — an Africa that increasingly pursues its own interests and has strategic alternatives with China, India, Russia, or the Gulf states, in view of the new geopolitical and economic realities, the EU has a renewed interest to reach out to Africa with its emerging markets, trading and investment opportunities. According to EU President Antonio Costa, the 7th AU–EU Summit, held in Luanda on November 24–25 was set “strengthen cooperation in key areas such as economic integration, trade and investment, green transition, digitalization, migration, peace and security, multilateralism, and human development”.The Austrian Foreign Minister Meinl-Reisinger also emphasized that Africa is a continent of opportunity, marked by enormous economic potential and a dynamic young population and the new Austrian Africa Strategy, recently announced by the Austrian government, shall follow similar priorities.The event shall analyze the major achievements, potentials and challenges of the current AU – EU partnership, discuss the main results of the summit in Luanda from different point of views and explore how the priorities and modalities of the upcoming Austrian Africa Strategy could contribute to embolden a renewed partnership among equals.  ModeratorMiriam Mukalazi, Africa Policy Programme, VIDCKey noteGeert Laporte, Senior Associate of ECDPM, former Director of the European Think Tanks GroupAU-EU Summits-25 years of strategic partnership in turbulent times: What are the majors achievements, potentials and challenges of the current AU – EU partnership?DiscussantsRobert Zischg, Head of Department for Sub-Sahara Africa and the African Union, Austrian Federal Ministry for European and Internationals AffairsPhilomena Apiko, Policy Analyst on AU-EU relations, ECPDMJaimie Just, African European Civil Society Engagement Platform (CSEP/Concord)Georg Krenn, Austrian Commercial Counsellor & Head of ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA CairoStefan Scholz, design.

Madrid ha sido elegida como nueva sede central del Consejo Mundial de Viajes y Turismo (WTTC), que tras abandonar Londres por el aumento de costes derivados del Brexit buscaba una nueva ubicación en Europa. La capital española se impuso a otras candidatas como Barcelona, París, Roma, Ginebra y Dubái, reforzando la posición de España y de Madrid como referentes internacionales en la gobernanza y la toma de decisiones del sector turístico.Según datos de Kayak, en 2025 los hábitos de viaje de los españoles estuvieron marcados por la diversificación de destinos y un mayor gasto en experiencias. París fue el destino internacional más buscado, mientras que Fukuoka (Japón) registró el mayor crecimiento en interés.

In this episode, Katie talks with Clare O'Donoghue Velikić about the shifting landscape of political advertising in Europe—and what's driving those changes. They trace how Brexit, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and rising public scrutiny of tech platforms set the stage for today's regulatory environment. Clare breaks down the stark differences between U.S. and European campaign practices, the ripple effects of GDPR and data rules, and how policymakers are thinking about political communication in a post-scandal world. They also unpack Meta's recent decision to ban political ads in the EU, exploring why it matters, who it affects, and what transparency risks emerge when legitimate political messaging is pushed out of public view. The conversation offers a grounded look at the future of digital campaigning in Europe—and the tradeoffs ahead as platforms, regulators, and political actors navigate a rapidly changing system.Takeaways* Regulation intended to increase transparency can lead to less transparency.* Europe's political advertising landscape is significantly different from the US.* Data protection laws in Europe limit campaign strategies.* The early days of Facebook were marked by excitement and innovation.* The Cambridge Analytica scandal raised serious concerns about data use in politics.* Building political ad transparency tools was a complex process.* The current political ad ban in Europe poses risks to democratic discourse.* Extremist content may thrive in the absence of regulated political ads.* Finding a compromise between tech companies and regulators is crucial.* The removal of political ads silences moderate voices in social media.Chapters* 00:00 Introduction to Political Advertising in Europe* 03:38 Differences Between US and European Political Campaigning* 06:12 The Early Days of Facebook and Political Campaigning* 08:56 The Impact of Cambridge Analytica and Foreign Interference* 11:14 Building Political Ad Transparency Tools* 13:59 Challenges in Regulating Political Advertising* 16:49 Personal Experiences in Political Campaigning* 19:02 The Role of Data and Privacy in Political Advertising* 25:43 Political Ad Authorization and Campaign Dynamics* 29:29 Challenges of Political Advertising in Europe* 33:08 Meta's Political Ad Transparency Initiatives* 39:05 Impact of New Regulations on Political Advertising* 44:12 The Future of Political Advertising and Social Media* 48:53 The Role of Moderation in Social Discourse* 52:15 The Evolution of Political Advertising on Facebook* 52:44 Challenges of Transparency in Online AdsAnchor Change with Katie Harbath is a reader-supported publication.

Veroordeeld opruier en rechtsextremist Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, maar dat klinkt minder volks) heeft Jezus gevonden, zegt hij. Op een speciale demonstratie afgelopen weekend werden kerstliederen gezongen, met als doel 'Christus terug in Kerstmis' te krijgen. Zo'n duizend mensen deden mee. Een opkomst die tegenvalt vergeleken met zijn anti-immigrantendemonstratie van afgelopen zomer, waar meer dan 100.000 mensen op afkwamen. Wat zit er achter zijn flirt met het Christendom. Keir Starmer stelt lokale verkiezingen uit om het kiesstelsel aan te passen Britse extra virgin olijfolie 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.

PREVIEW: Joseph Sternberg cautions that American conservatives often mistakenly view the United Kingdom as culturally similar to the US, despite its "European" attitudes toward regulation and welfare. He argues that Britain's post-Brexit difficulties have likely deterred other European nations from leaving the European Union.

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-seventh episode, we explore the Square One Fallacy, starting with RFK Jr demanding vaccines be tested before they are used, and Trump suggesting some kind of film and video game ratings system.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch lamenting (for all the wrong reasons) the rebooted version of research into puberty blockers, Nigel Farage demanding a whole new kind of Brexit guaranteed (this time) to give us sovereignty, and the push for another inquiry into grooming gangs.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out real world examples about gender affirming care, cannabis legalization, and tobacco regulation.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then Jim talks about his recent very deep dive into the world of media effects research with regard to violent video games.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 https://fallacioustrump.com/ft187Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics.

From 9/11 and the wars that followed to the expenses scandal, the Financial Crash, austerity, Brexit and a carousel of leadership crises, Westminster has spent the last 25 years governing through upheaval. Since 2000, crisis has shifted from disruption to default setting, with governments reacting rather than governing and institutions stretched well beyond their limits. Prof. Andrew Hindmoor, author of Haywire, talks to Zoë Grünewald about how British politics got stuck in crisis mode and what we can do about it. 

British-born Rabbi Eli Schlanger and Rabbi Yaakov Levitan are to be buried on Wednesday, the Chabad of Bondi has confirmed. Australian officials are investigating claims that the two gunmen took part in military-style training in the Philippines.Also on the programme: The BBC understands that the UK is set to rejoin the EU's Erasmus student exchange scheme, five years after leaving it as part of the post-Brexit deal with the European Union. Water voles have been spotted for the first time in almost two decades by conservationists in Oxfordshire. And, we speak to the Welsh couple who have defied odds of more than 24 trillion to one, and won the National Lottery for a second time.

Rupert Soames speaks to Felicity Hannah for his final interview before he stands down as Chair of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). He describes his surprise at the limited understanding many ministers and policymakers have of the realities faced by business leaders, particularly when it comes to employment, investment, and economic growth. With the Employment Rights Bills ping-ponging its way between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, Soames expresses concern over measures that have increased the cost and risk of employing people, particularly younger workers. He points to the Bill as a source of uncertainty, saying that while compromise was reached on some aspects, the overall effect may be to discourage job creation and make it harder for those with gaps in their employment history to find work, especially post-covid. Brexit and its economic consequences are explored with Soames describing the outcome as “really, really, really bad" for the UK's economic prospects. However, he acknowledged the need to move forward and reset the UK's relationship with the European Union, but expresses concern about the slow pace of doing so, and the persistence of unproductive patterns in UK-EU relations, calling this "Code Red".Soames does credit the Labour government with progress in areas such as global trade agreements and regulatory reform, insisting they've done better in this regard than many before, but highlights a persistent gap between rhetoric and action. The interview also covers the challenges faced by Soames when he joined the CBI in 2024, following allegations of sexual abuse that were reported April 2023 in the Guardian. He reflects on restoring the reputation of the organisation and convincing swathes of major organisation to re-join, after many quit or suspended their memberships.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Sean Farrington and Fliss set up interview 02:40 Rupert Soames joins pod and discusses CBI scandal 13:40 Budget impact on business 20:00 Employment Rights Bill 23:55 Is government creating climate for growth? 25:00 Civil service has grown too large 27:15 Shocking how little government understands business 29:00 Government doing better than EU and US on AI adoption 30:00 Some people were seduced by then opposition govt; It was performative 32:53 Brexit has played out really, really, really badly 38:00 What is Rupert optimistic about?

Risk generally falls into 4 categories, monetary (Central Banks), economic (growth and profits), financial (leverage, carry and correlation) and finally, geopolitical. This last category is non-market, market risk.  And in this context, it was a pleasure to welcome Mark Rosenberg, Founder of GeoQuant and adjunct professor at UC Berkeley to the Alpha Exchange for a discussion centered on political risk as a measurable market variable.Mark's work evaluates how governance, social instability, institutional stress, and security dynamics influence asset pricing. Tracing his path from academia to his time at Eurasia Group, he describes the gap that existed in country-risk assessment—macroeconomic indicators were abundant, yet political inputs remained qualitative, backward-looking, and infrequent. His motivation for launching GeoQuant followed the belief that political dynamics could be structured into model-based, data-driven signals rather than anecdotes, expert impressions, or slow annual indicators.GeoQuant separates political risk into governance, social, and security components, drawing from quantitative indicators, news-driven updates, and structural model frameworks. Geopolitical risk conjures referendums like Brexit, countries like Russia, China and Iran, conflicts like trade wars and actual wars. The United States does not come to mind. But looking ahead to the 2026 midterm cycle, Mark describes a US landscape defined by elevated turnover risk, the potential for policy conflict, and a political structure capable of generating prolonged uncertainty, a risk factor that may not be sufficiently priced into assets.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Mark Rosenberg.

Surfball was supposed to be the sport of the next generation – but it instead it was a fiction created by Peter Mandelson. Lying in politics is nothing new, but after the budget, Rachel Reeves' extraordinary pitch-rolling was viewed by some as an outright lie and others as justifiable spin. Inspired by this grey area, host Sascha O'Sullivan tries to find out the difference. BBC Radio 4 Presenter Nick Robinson tells Sascha how he can spot when a politician is lying and explains the difference between ministers making a justifiable argument and those who read "the line to take." Former Keir Starmer Political Director Luke Sullivan says Rachel Reeves was "absolutely not" lying in the run-up to the budget and explains how Starmer made the most of Boris Johnson-era scandals when the Tory prime minister was accused of lying. Craig Oliver, David Cameron's former director of communications, rehashes the fibs told during the Brexit referendum, telling Sascha there were attacks "that were straightforwardly untrue." Sascha then digs in to what happens when a minister... fesses up. She speaks to Mark Harper, who resigned as immigration minister after discovering his cleaner did not have the right to work in the UK. Harper lost his job – but was welcomed back months later. Full Fact Chief Executive Officer Chris Morris tells Sascha it's hard to distinguish outright lies and spin — because most of the time politicians quote half-truths wrapped up in narrative.

The government announced that elections for new mayors in four regions will now be delayed. Voters in Greater Essex, Sussex and Brighton, Hampshire and the Solent, and Norfolk and Suffolk will be waiting until 2028 instead. Why has the government done this? Is this part of a clever strategy or a desperate last-minute fumble?  Meanwhile, the government is installing yet more peers into the House of Lords after a series of battles between the government and the second chamber. So what lies behind the battle, what might happen and will it make a difference to the long-running debate about Lords reform? And finally... Sajid Javid says he lost faith in Boris Johnson's leadership, Simon Hart says the Sunak government nearly collapsed over the Rwanda bill and Theresa Villiers says that WhatsApp group chats were critical to defeating Theresa May's Brexit deal.

Labour zet plannen door om fors minder rechtszaken via juryrechtspraak te laten verlopen. De bedoeling daarvan is het fors terugdringen van de wachttijden voor rechtszaken, die nu soms jarenlang worden uitgesteld. Hoewel Britten steen en been klagen als ze opgeroepen worden voor een jury, dat kost je immers al gauw twee weken en het is geen aanbod dat je af kunt slaan, hebben ze het concept van juryrechtspraak hoog in het vaandel. Hoe werkt zo'n jury, en hoe gaat het voortaan werken? Ook in deze aflevering Dappere strijders gooien een toetje tegen een vitrine 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.

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. Co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper are joined by special guest and historian David Goldblatt. In this episode, they discuss David's new book, 'Injury Time,' which examines the impact of recent seismic events like Brexit, COVID-19, and populism on football in Britain.

The conversation also touches on the significance of football as a cultural and political space, the rise of women's football, and the ethical concerns surrounding state ownership of clubs. They also examine the role of fans and community.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have started to become more critical of the ‘Brexit Deal'. David Lammy highlights the benefits of a customs union. The Brexit minister, Nick Thomas-Symonds, is promoted. But does this mean a cautious government is moving towards the customs union, and when would it make such a move?

The Governments of the UK need to do more to support native farm animal breeds. That's the view of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust which says that while there have been many warm words about the importance of rare and native breeds, clarification is needed on what the post-Brexit support schemes will offer. And the Trust says government funding should be given to the national gene bank.The sprout harvest in Scotland is in full swing, with hundreds of tonnes being cut for Christmas. Has it been a good sprout year?  A new project in Northern Ireland is using vets to help farmers look after their health. The ‘Nip It In The Bud' campaign was launched at a veterinary conference.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

They also talk about whether calling out Brexit could be a winning strategy for the prime minister at the next election and, in the world of media, why the Daily Mail hates Prince Harry so much.Finally, as Christmas approaches, one listener has a burning question: turkey or beef?Have a question to stump the two Matts?

There has been a flurry of UK-European activity across Britain this week, with the German state visit in London, the Norwegian Prime Minister signing a defence agreement in Scotland and the British-Irish council meeting in Wales today. Perhaps then it's inevitable that speculation over closer ties between the UK and the EU has re-emerged. Could Labour seek to rejoin the Customs Union? Would this help or hinder Reform? And would the EU even stomach it? Plus – Liz Truss launches a new show today.

Sir Keir Starmer started the week with not one but two speeches defending his party's Budget decisions in the wake of claims that chancellor Rachel Reeves had misled the public and fellow MPs about the state of the nation's finances. Was his sell convincing? The prime minister also brought up Brexit, but as panellist Robert Shrimsley points out, Starmer was characteristically unclear as to whether the Labour party was ultimately leaning into or out of the EU.Plus, host George Parker and the rest of the panel, Miranda Green and Jim Pickard, discuss the FT report that Nigel Farage told Reform UK donors he expects his party to do some sort of deal with the Tories in the run-up to the next general election — potentially helped by the single biggest donation any UK political party has had from a living donor.
