Journalist and researcher Charlotte Gill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a blistering exposé on government waste, academic absurdity, and the taxpayer-funded empire of ideological nonsense.Gill reveals how billions of pounds are being siphoned into bizarre research projects through UKRI and its academic arms—the AHRC and ESRC. From “gay pig masculinities” to “Green inclusion”. Gill has uncovered an astonishing archive of publicly funded work that seems more like parody than policy.We discuss how Britain's universities became captured by radical ideology under the guise of scholarship. Gill warns that without scrutiny, these institutions will keep draining public money into activism masquerading as research.All this— gay p*rn studies, postmodern pseudoscience, and the quiet bureaucracies turning academia into a taxpayer-funded circus…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:32 Discovery of “Woke Waste”20:54 The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 23:44 The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) 29:35 Charities and Taxpayer Funding 43:30 The Role of Hope Not Hate 1:02:04 The Impact of Taxpayer Funding on Public Policy 1:10:50 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Tariffs for nearly 70 countries are implemented today. CNN's Elisabeth Buchwald explains where all the money is going. Republicans are under pressure to sell the tax-and-spending bill during summer recess. But crowds at town halls aren't making it easy, as Semafor's Eleanor Mueller tells us. U.S. citizens are getting caught up in the immigration crackdown. Sam Levin from The Guardian has been following some disturbing cases. Plus, the latest following a shooting at Georgia's Fort Stewart, new studies reveal the lingering effects of wildfires, and the unlikely alliance fighting to save the blue Energy Star stickers. Today's episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Some excitement on Threadneedle Street today after the Bank of England cut interest rates to 4 per cent. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has just voted five to four – after a revote – for what is the third cut this year. This takes interest rates back down to levels not seen since the beginning of 2023. Concerns about an increasingly slack labour market seem to have driven the MPC's decision.This sounds like good news – and Starmer will welcome it as such – but the Bank's apparent comfort with loosening policy in this context is baffling says Michael Simmons. Its own forecasts show inflation climbing back to 4 per cent by September – double the official target. If they're wrong, and inflation slips the leash again, it won't be brought back under control easily. This also coincides with yesterday's news that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecast that Rachel Reeves must find £50 billion of revenue or cuts if she is to return to the £9.9 billion of fiscal headroom she left herself in the spring. Are there any rays of light escaping from the black hole as we head towards autumn's Budget, or is it all gloom?Also on the podcast today: Trump's tariffs have come into effect across the world. He declared on Truth Social that ‘Billions of Dollars have started flowing into the US'… but is that true? And what's been the reaction in the US?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Michael Simmons and Kate Andrews.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Billions of rands are being sent out of South Africa annually to fund terror activities. In this interview with BizNews, Willem Els of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) dissects the nexus between organised crime and terror funding. “Organised crime can do without terrorism. They can live without terrorism, they can survive without terrorism, but terrorism cannot survive without organised crime and using them.” He notes that neither group can operate with impunity without high-level protection either. “And in South Africa, the prevalence of your State-embedded actors on a very high political level and on operations level is way above the average for Africa.” Nel lists poor governance, limited resources, and limited use of technology as the reasons why Africa has become such a hub for terror financing. He outlines what measures South Africa will have to take to get off the Grey List later this year - and what it would have to do to prevent relisting. He also gives a run-down on recent terror-related cases, and describes the implementation of Sharia Law in Johannesburg, and the use of assassinations and extortion by an ISIS-linked to raise funds for terror.

Earlier this week, Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of Thinking Machines and one of the key engineers behind OpenAI's GPT-4, reportedly said no to a jaw-dropping $1 billion offer from Zuckerberg's Meta. Why would anyone say no to that kind of money? The answer lies in a high-stakes conflict for the soul of AI. From Microsoft crippling Inflection AI and Meta's $200M poaching spree to a growing rebellion led by top AI minds like Mira Murati, Andrew Tulloch, and Dario Amodei, we look at big tech's desperate bid to own AI by buying its creators.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

This isn't motivational fluff—these are real stories of companies closer to death than most entrepreneurs will ever face, and the lessons that can transform how you approach your own "impossible" moments.Key Takeaways: (09:50) The power of seeking reference points: Why Ryan actively hunts for stories of people who overcame worse challenges than what he's currently facing(12:09) Brook's "one, two, three, too many" strategy: How to organize overwhelming thoughts on paper and prevent decision paralysis in crisis moments(14:41) Apple's 90-day cash crisis: How Steve Jobs turned to his biggest rival Microsoft for $150 million and used breathing room to cut 70% of inventory(26:53) Elon's $40 million Christmas Eve gamble: The moment Tesla was two days from bounced payroll and Musk bet his entire PayPal fortune on the company(34:28) The gladiator mindset: Why less than 1% of businesses survive 10 years and what it takes to be in that elite groupNotable Quotes: "We're either learning or we're growing, right? And like you and I have been very good at turning quickly to go, okay, what story and language are we giving this shit?" - Brook (04:49)"One of my strategies around keeping my head screwed on straight when I have a challenge is I go seeking out as many examples and reference points of people who have overcome something way fucking worse than what I'm dealing with right now." - Ryan (09:17)"Picture this: You're Steve Jobs, and you've just returned to the company you co-founded only to discover that it's pretty much a walking corpse." - Ryan (14:10)"Business is a sport for gladiators. And it's like, we're not saying that like metaphorically, like straight up." - Brook (34:28)Resources Mentioned: Elon Musk SpaceX interview clip: "I don't ever give up. I'd have to be dead or incapacitated"What's your "impossible" right now? Instead of focusing on why it can't be done, start seeking out reference points of people who overcame something way worse.

Shellee Howard, founder and CEO of College Ready and host of the Parents is Your Teen College Ready podcast, shares insights from her best-selling book The College Admissions Plan Simplified. Her primary focus is on parents, acknowledging that college admissions guidance is often geared toward students, while parents play a critical but under-supported role. Shellee empathizes with the exhaustion and emotional toll parents experience while helping their children navigate the complex and often overwhelming college admissions process. She stresses the importance of parental involvement, understanding adolescent brain development, and providing emotional and strategic support during this pivotal life transition.Shellee discusses the escalating costs of college tuition, citing Vanderbilt University's tuition exceeding $100,000 annually as an example of rising financial pressures. She contrasts this with her personal success using strategic planning to help her children and many other students gain admission to top-tier colleges with substantial scholarships, allowing them to graduate debt-free. Her approach emphasizes individualized strategies tailored to each student's strengths, including test preparation, community service, leadership, and securing strong letters of recommendation.The College Ready Plan has helped thousands of families secure scholarships from various sources—institutional, independent, and need-based—highlighting that scholarships are available to any family willing to invest the necessary effort, not just those with financial need. Shellee encourages parents to take an active role in the college planning and financial aid processes rather than leaving these decisions to their teenagers, who often lack awareness of the long-term impact of student debt.Finally, she invites parents feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about college admissions to reach out for guidance, offering a complimentary 30-minute discovery call to discuss personalized strategies for getting their child into their best-fit college while minimizing debt.Highlights

This story was produced by our colleagues at the BBC.High-flying and high-tech, the very latest in drone technology took to the skies over an airfield near the Danish city of Odense.At the International Drone Show, 50 exhibitors showed off their wares.

Besides civilian uses, the devices can also identify enemy radar."Over the years, we have seen an increasing interest from the defense side, no doubt about that, and that's also where we have a lot of work currently being carried out," said Klaus Aude, Quadsat's chief commercial officer.Leaders of the NATO military alliance have agreed to ramp up defense spending to 5% of their countries' economic output by 2035, following months of pressure from President Donald Trump.Nordic countries have already committed to bigger budgets. Among them, NATO's newest members Finland and Sweden, as well as long time members Norway and Denmark.As Europe races to re-arm, drones are a sought-after technology. One estimate suggests the global market for defense drones is already worth over $24 billion, and could double by 2032."The Nordics have always been very strong in drone adoption, drone development," said Kay Wackwitz, chief executive of Drone Industry Insights."You can definitely see that those countries that have borders with Russia are really stocking up on those technologies. The commercial market is now struggling for its fourth year in a row with declining venture capital,” added Wackwitz. “And on the other side, we see a huge demand on the military end of things, which means a lot of companies are refocusing from the commercial space to the military space."In June, low-cost Ukrainian drones carried out an audacious mission, destroying dozens of prized Russian fighter jets in a conflict that's reshaped modern warfare.North of Copenhagen in a hangar, Danish firm Nordic Wing makes drones used for battlefield surveillance and combat. Its customers are NATO countries, but they are largely destined for Ukraine, where “there was a huge need and a calling to have these systems helping on the front lines,” said Jonas Münster, CEO of Nordic Wing. “And therefore, the production went into overdrive. Now we have a European Union that is looking into what we've learned in Ukraine and realizing that we don't have a drone capability in Europe."With a 2,000-square-kilometer flying zone, the drone port in Odense has grown into a hub for tech startups. Next year, military personnel will also be training there at a new $110 million army facility."Some militaries have actually made a shift from saying ‘every soldier is a rifleman,' to ‘everyone is going to be a drone operator at some level,'” said Major Rasmus Ros, who's part of Denmark's Defense Command. “We're going to have drone operators in the whole joint military of Denmark. They can come here, get their basic training, share ideas and technology development, and then go back to their units and further develop that."But not everyone is so positive about this. Outside the trade fair, protestors chanted "drones for peace, not war." New geopolitical realities are reshaping this fast-paced industry. And as this technology advances, ethical and regulatory concerns over the use of AI to pilot drones are also being raised.
