I thought things were in such a bad place." COLLEAGUE CRIED WHEN HE SAID HE'D STAND* Recalling a colleague who shared his concerns "I said, well, I'm thinking about it [standing for First Minister] and they burst into tears". CREDITS BLAIR GOVERNMENT ON CHILD POVERTY * Swinney gives credit to Labour on Child Poverty "the achievements of the Blair Brown government, the first decade of this century really made an impact on eroding levels of child poverty in our society".DEFINES HIS RELIGIOUS FAITH* In a discussion about faith, the First Minister was asked "what does Jesus Christ mean to you personally?". He answered "the love of others, the love and service of others. That's what my Christian faith means to me..... I'd be perfectly happy to talk about that. I don't opt to go on to a podium to do so."MAKES NO APOLOGIES ON FAMILY JOINING OFFICIAL ENGAGEMENTS* On taking his family to official events "sometimes there's a bit of a hullabaloo about taking members of your family to particular occasions. I make no apology for it because if I didn't do that, I'd hardly see them." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Labour heavyweight John Prescott's funeral took place yesterday with former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown leading the tributes. What is Prescott's legacy? And does the current Labour Party have politicians that emulate his appeal? Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and former Blair adviser John McTernan about how Prescott was the glue that held Labour together during the Blair-Brown years. Also on the podcast, they discuss the borders and migration bill which Labour published this week. The bill sees the government adopt many measures that they voted against when in opposition. Does this show that Labour have what it takes to tackle immigration? Meanwhile the Conservatives still haven't come to terms with their own legacy on migration, as shown by shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel's comments to Talk TV... Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Strap yourself in for a trippy mindbender from the one and only intensely insane director, Ken Russell. Featuring psychedelic drugs and sensory deprivation tanks, it's the feature film debut of William Hurt and also stars Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, and Charles Haid. The production was so intense, it might have just killed Paddy Chayefsky. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

In this episode of "Mid Atlantic," we explore the world of UK politics through the eyes of Steve O'Neill. Steve, a seasoned political strategist with a background in education and international policy, shares his journey from the British civil service to his involvement in political strategy with the Liberal Democrats, and his eventual shift to the Labour Party. The discussion delves into the dynamics of British politics during critical times like the end of New Labour in 2010, the coalition government, and the post-2015 election challenges faced by the Lib Dems. Steve also discusses his time in New York, including a stint with the United Nations, and his work on the "No Man's Land" podcast, offering a perspective on political division and the quest for unity.Notable Quotes:On Political Awakening: "I wasn't really interested in politics until I was 23, 24 years old. A lot of what I learned about policy and politics was from my day job in the civil service."On Coalition Compromises: "I thought a lot of the big ideas happened in politics. This led me to sympathize with the Lib Dems, particularly their stance during the coalition government."On Shifting Allegiances: "The world felt politically different around the Brexit referendum. That's when I realized no more fence-sitting – it was time to support a more progressive party."On Political Identity: "I'd probably describe myself as centre-left now, aligning more with the Blair-Brown era of politics, having moved away from my earlier centrist views."

We are so excited to finally be talking about this phenomenal episode of Fringe - the highly anticipated episode in which we finally get the story of how and why Peter was abducted from the Redverse. When last we left our heroes, Olivia's “glimmer” ability kicked in just before she and Peter went on their very first date, leading her to realize that Peter is originally from the Redverse. Walter pleads with Olivia to not tell him, and in this episode (which features a fun, synthy ‘80s rendition of the theme music), we are taken back to 1985 as Walter sits down with Olivia to tell her the story. Just about everything about this episode is perfect. The cinematography makes it seem almost movie-like, and John Noble, Blair Brown, and Orla Brady all give Emmy-worthy performances! Join us as well as returning co-host Michael London of Fringe Connections as we discuss all of that and so much more!

The UK economy is facing some major issues in the long term as the Government tries to put in place a strategy that will leverage Brexit while the Bank of England tries to extinguish the threat of inflation. While it is now generally agreed that the country will now face a recession this year, thoughts are turning to the long-term prospects which may include a leap into the unknown as the people decide it is time for a change of Government. The last time this happened was in the nineties when Conservative Party “shot itself in the foot” and ushered in the Blair/Brown years. It may be that the country needs a fresh approach, but the current Labour leadership is hard to understand. Yes, they ” make noises” about the need for change and how they will cut debt, while at the same time investing in the future of the country. Without being sceptical, whenever Shadow Ministers are asked the how of their policies, they do little more than make hopeful noises, critical of the current situation but fail to add any “meat to the bones”.

They discuss some of the so-called myths of the Blair/Brown era and how friction within Downing Street may have undermined the capacity of Labour to renew politically.

This week we talk to Suzanne Heywood about her memoir of her late husband, Cabinet Secretary Jeremy Heywood - the man who helped to run Britain for more than two decades, working with four different prime ministers. From Black Wednesday to Brexit, from the Blair/Brown battles to the surprising successes of the Coalition, Jeremy Heywood had a unique position at the heart of British politics. We discuss what he did, what he learned and what he wished had turned out differently. Talking Points:The book starts with the ERM crisis.This was the start of a story that arguably runs through Brexit.Jeremy told David Cameron that he would need to address immigration with Europe, but he knew that this would be difficult.Blair had a huge parliamentary majority; this meant he could do many of the things that Jeremy wanted to see done.Jeremy was positive about how much had been achieved, particularly in public services.Progress was more difficult under Brown. The financial crisis created enormous strain.Jeremy and Gordon Brown worked very closely together on the financial crisis.During political transitions, all the ‘in-flight’ initiatives pause. Any one of them may or may not land as you previously expected.As a civil servant, you also have to be able to switch your personal loyalties.The change in style between governments can be significant. New administrations come in with a new language, a new tone.Civil servants have to keep the show on the road, and also adapt.At what point do civil servants have to swallow their personal objections and get on with things? Ministers represent the electorate; civil servants support ministers in delivering on their promises.Civil servants can push and make certain arguments, but once a decision is made, they have to move forward with implementation.Jeremy’s real genius was in relationships.He inspired people; they wanted to do their best for him.Mentioned in this Episode:What Does Jeremy Think?

The Government is under fire over COVID as seldom before. Was it wise to aggressively rebut the Sunday Times report on their preparations for the pandemic? Is the idea of a risk-free exit strategy from lockdown a myth? Do we need bipartisan agreement on the COVID strategy for the sake of national cohesion… or perhaps radical openness? And is there really such thing as being “led by the science”? Special guests Lord Danny Finkelstein and former Blair/Brown advisor John McTernan join the IfG’s Bronwen Maddox and Jill Rutter for this week’s podcast. “In life, risk can’t be abolished. It can only be mitigated. You have to draw people into the choices you have to make.” – John McTernan“We need to level with people that we’re not creating an exit strategy, we’re making a big exit moral choice.” – Danny FinkelsteinPresented by Bronwen Maddox.

In this episode we sit down with Blair Brown and Ann McAlexander live from Midwinter 2020!

Anne Blair Brown describes herself as a contemporary impressionist. She is drawn to impressionism because it is an interpretation of a moment in time. Light is the subject of her paintings. The light that imbues her paintings radiates a feeling of warmth. Light glows in an open doorway, shadows accentuate warm afternoon sunlight, and, dapples of light dance upon a picnic table in the summer shade of an old oak tree. Anne's play of light is found in her rural and urban landscapes, her figurative work, and her intimate interior spaces. As you peer into Anne’s paintings, you begin to sense it as if it were your own memory. Her broken brushstrokes begin a story that only you as the viewer can complete. The sense of place and memory Anne suggests in her beautiful paintings becomes your story. In this edition of the Artful Painter, Anne freely shares her thoughts on her process of creating light-filled, impressionistic paintings. She talks about her joy of teaching and how we as students can most benefit from artist workshops and training. Anne discusses, too, her experiences with showing her work in galleries. Get out your pen and notebook and prepare to take notes! Other artists have told me that I need to talk to Anne Blair Brown. I’m glad I took their advice! I’m happy to share this conversation with artist Anne Blair Brown with you in this episode.

This week on Movieing On, Toerag and Breki take a heroic dose of narcotics and put themselves in an isolation chamber. About an hour and a half later, they both come out describing wild hallucinations about William Hurt, Blair Brown, a man in a monkey suit, drawn out CGI work and that funny guy who was in the Police Academy movies. Trying to piece their hallucinations together, they realize they've been hallucinating wildly different things, so they piece them together as well as possible. ... Which is pretty much how this movie got made, too.

Okay, after that arm breaking, bowling ball head smashing scene most likely not. A Kirschner & Brown LLP letter that Karen is reading. What is the play of Wesley there? At least Matt can follow him after he honed into the sound of his watch. Nice, "the battle of NY" headlines in the newspaper's office. "non-binding moral obligation" my a**! Money to keep her quiet more appropriate name. Karen's eyes looked so beautifully  striking blue in that scene. Heh, hitting the router worked. Since Person of Interest is also filmed in NY, that courthouse had to be the same, Michael Emerson and Blair Brown walked out of a few episodes ago. Theory, that this jury member was threatened by Wesley, and seeing him arrive makes her heart beat faster. Thanks Mrs. Fischer for reminding Karen that she doesn't have anybody she care for and therefore can refuse to sign the non-disclosure agreement. So Kingpin feels alone and wants to build a better New York to get more friends?   Outro [77:05]   Haley, Lauren and Stargate Pioneer love to hear back from you about your top 5 Marvel character lists, your science of Marvel questions, why Wing is wrong at any time, who would you pick in an all-female Avenger team, or who’s Marvel abs you would like to see.

We get together for possibly the shortest and most concise episode ever Stars 6 @ Sens 3 Coyotes 2 @ Sens 7 Ottawa (most of Ottawa that is) welcomed back Spezza this week in his first visit since being traded.  Lehner takes the reins as Anderson is still out with an injury from the Leafs game.  We touch on the World Cup, Diving, the Habs and Leafs, the upcoming cap and impacts from the TV deal.  We get an e-mail from Blair Brown and no phone calls :( (Photo credit: @capital_gains65 )

We're finally back after a long hiatus.  Luckily, we don't do massive game summaries and just jump into things after a great game recap from CBInc on the Sens wins against the Sucks….err..Leafs. Lots of talk about the roster as the team continues to fall in the standings.  Pan tries to explain his Team Tank approach and Kardinal just can't put himself hoping for the team to lose.  We play a little armchair GM with what to do with Methot, we get a Facebook contribution from Liam, a couple e-mails from Labru and Blair Brown.  We go into the All Star break so won't be back for a couple of weeks, but we'd love to continue to hear from you!

The versatile J Blair Brown talks about her experience as an actress, writer, director, publicist, radio host, and Web series producer. Her acting credits include over 100 live performances in such stage productions as Fences, Nunsense and Little Shop of Horrors. She served as a media relations consultant for the award-winning short film The Patient, and is the writer/producer/director of Shine, a new Web series. As a freelance writer, her articles have been published in national magazines, and as a radio talk show host, J Blair interviewed top-notch entertainers like Irma P. Hall, Chazz Palminteri, Tim Reid, Isaiah Washington and Mykelti Wiliamson. We are also expecting some of J Blair's clients to call in. 

Paul Johnson, the director of the widely-respected independent Institute for Fiscal Studies, has been looking at the latest projections for how much the government will spend in the next five years and how much revenue it will receive. Despite the recent announcement of further cuts in spending, tax rises look difficult to avoid. Paul explores the reasons for this gap in the budget and asks what taxes could help to fill it. With tax avoidance and evasion now at the top of world leaders' agendas, he asks if the increasingly tax-averse companies sector can be made to pay more and how much the rich and wealthy could contribute. He also considers the taxation of our houses and pensions and whether more will be taken from them. Then he focuses on the three levies which contribute the lion's share of government revenue - income tax, national insurance and VAT - and, with politicians, economists and tax experts, finds out how much we are all - young and old, better and worse off - likely to pay. He also drops in on a young family in Norfolk to discover what taxpaying voters think of the choices and what they will be expected to pay. Among those taking part: Nigel Lawson (former Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer); Kitty Ussher (former Labour Treasury minister); Bill Dodwell (head of tax policy at Deloitte); Julian McCrae (former top Treasury official now at the Institute for Government); Gavin Kelly (chief executive of the Resolution Foundation who worked during the Blair/Brown years in Downing Street and the Treasury); and Malcolm Gammie QC (a leading tax lawyer). Producer Simon Coates.
