God Save the King and Rule Britannia!To mark the occasion of the crowning of Britain's new king and Canada's new head of state, this episode features a special guest from the other side of the Atlantic.Ann Widdecombe served as a Conservative Member of Parliament in the British House of Commons from 1987-2010. During that time, she held several Cabinet portfolios, and early on in her tenure, converted to the Catholic faith. She also held a seat in the European Parliament as a representative of the Brexit Party from 2019-2020.A well-known political commentator and public personality, Widdecombe makes the case for why Britain's withdrawal from the European Union was necessary (and why it was fully in line with Catholic social teaching on subsidiarity). She also reflects on her conversion, the future of the Anglican Church, the present state of conservatism in the United Kingdom, and the first coronation of a British monarch in 70 years.Websites / resources referencedAnn Widdecombe official websiteAnn Widdecombe, “Conservatives are not conservative - it's why I can't back the Tories,” The Daily Express (March 21, 2023)Ann Widdecombe: Brexit, Trade, and the European Union“The King's coronation oath: an explainer for Catholics,” Catholic Herald (May 2, 2023)Support the showwww.crownandcrozier.comtwitter.com/crownandcrozierfacebook.com/crownandcrozierhttps://www.instagram.com/crownandcrozier/Please note that this podcast has been edited for length and clarity.

Boris Palmer ist schon häufig durch seine Äußerungen zur Migration, den Corona-Maßnahmen oder der Sprachpolitik aufgefallen. Nach einem Eklat am Wochenende hat er am Montag bekannt gegeben, sich eine Auszeit zu nehmen und die Grünen zu verlassen. Nils Markwardt aus dem Kulturressort von ZEIT ONLINE findet: Mit seinem vorübergehenden Rückzug aus der Politik bedient Palmer ein altbekanntes Muster. Bundesverkehrsminister Volker Wissing (FDP) und die Letzte Generation treffen sich heute in Berlin, um über Klimapolitik zu sprechen. Im Vorfeld des Treffens haben sich beide Seiten gegenseitig kritisiert: Laut der Letzten Generation tue Wissing nicht genug, um die Klimaziele einzuhalten. Wissing hingegen findet, dass die Protestgruppe "wenig sinnvolle Vorschläge" für den Klimaschutz mache. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock (Grüne) hat zum Start des Petersberger Klimadialogs mitgeteilt, dass der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien höchste Priorität habe, um das 1,5-Grad-Ziel doch noch zu erreichen. Bei dem Treffen zwischen Vertreterinnen und Vertretern aus über 40 Staaten wird die UN-Klimakonferenz vorbereitet, die Ende des Jahres in Dubai stattfindet. Was noch? "Boris Johnson" ist in den Niederlanden festgenommen worden. Moderation und Produktion: Constanze Kainz Redaktion: Jannis Carmesin Mitarbeit: Paulina Kraft Fragen, Kritik, Anregungen?

Richard Sharp has resigned as chairman of the BBC after an investigation found he'd broken rules on public appointments during his dealings with Boris Johnson.
Richard Sharp - the embattled, embroiled BBC Chairman has resigned after a report by The Commissioner for Public Appointments found a perceived conflict of interest and a breach of the Governance Code. But this story goes much wider than one man, one job and an £800k loan to Boris Johnson. It asks questions of the institutions that run Britain: a 'jobs for the boys culture', a toxic legacy bestowed by the former Prime Minister, and questions about the Cabinet Secretary's conduct. Where does this all leave the BBC, the Civil Service and Rishi Sunak? We discuss.You can watch our episodes in full at https://global-player.onelink.me/Br0x/VideosThe News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.

Chris Johns is a regular contributor to Eamon Dunphy's The Stand podcast and he also writes regularly about politics and economics. More recently he has launched his own podcast with fellow economist Jim Power, called ‘The Other Hand'. I read and listen to his work regularly and always find him to be highly intelligent, wonderful with words, and very insightful about a lot of the issues I find fascinating – like who or what is ‘the markets' and why do they seem to exert so much control over all of us? How did the UK become such a basket case so quickly? Why do economists get paid so much to make predictions that 90% of the time turn out to be wrong? There was so much I wanted to ask Chris that we ended up talking for almost 2 hours, so we've decided to chop it up into two parts for you. This is part 1 in which we learn about Chris early life and how he was the first of his family to go to University, how he ended up being able to semi-retire at 55, his brilliant take on Boris Johnson and UK politics, why economists should never get paid to make predictions, why Facebook should never have been allowed to get so big, and lots more.

The Eton-educated authorised biographer of Margaret Thatcher, whose full title is Baron Moore of Etchingham, knows his way around the British establishment. National newspaper editors like Charles Moore are widely regarded as wielding immense power. But Moore says he wasn't conscious of that during his tenures at The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph and The Spectator. In this interview with Premier Christianity's Sam Hailes, Lord Moore comments on the religious nature of the upcoming coronation, reveals how he broke the story about the Archbishop of Canterbury's real father and shares his own journey from Anglican to Catholic.

Research from Imperial College London, and funded by the Greater London Authority, suggests ‘air pollution is damaging at all stages of life'. They found exposure to certain particles could lead to miscarriages, cause low sperm count and stunt children's lung growth. As well as cause chronic illnesses, cancer and strokes in adults.The findings come as Boris Johnson, publicly criticised the planned expansion of Ulez by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, saying ‘it has nothing to do with air pollution'. Frank Kelly, professor of community health and policy at Imperial College London, explains the significance of the findings and why there should be “nothing political when it comes to air quality”.

It was the sermon that brought down a government. Last autumn, Rev Les Isaac gave an address at the annual Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast which resulted in a string of resignations, ultimately resulting in Boris Johnson standing down as Prime Minister. In this episode of The Profile, Sam Hailes meets the Rev Les Isaac who not only gave that sermon but has also founded one of the UK Church's most successful outreach projects. Street Pastors is a simple idea - teams of Christians from all denominations patrolling city streets late at night in order to take care of vulnerable people and be a practical display of Christ's love within the night-time economy. The pair also discuss why Les gets "bored" inside church and how preachers can better connect with their congregations. You can also read this interview in the latest issue of Premier Christianity.

He also drew laughs by saying that he would become a booster rocket, which will “come down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the Pacific”. But could these strands of good humour be woven together to reveal the outline of an elected comeback in the land from “sea to shining sea”? (https://www.nationalworld.com/opinion/could-boris-johnson-theoretically-run-us-president-prime-minister-dual-citizenship-3833395) In this video, Andrew explains could Boris Johnson be the 47th US president.
This week's clips from 2019 include talk about money, Tubular Bells and grits. It ends with a very recent pair of calls from last month, one is a Boris Johnson fan who calls to defend him and a nice lady has a horror story about pets.
Progressive technocrats with an eye towards top-down control have several strategies that they employ that will allow them to continue to move the Overton window towards eventual autocratic control and away from established liberty-minded social contracts: Aggressive overthrows of federal and local governments through the seizure of election processes, judicial appointments and control of corporate partners to create pathways around legal structures. Fabian strategies of becoming a “wolf in sheep's clothing” by masking true intentions with rightist, populist rhetoric to gain grassroots support that will eventually lead to the same policies advocated by progressive globalists. A technocracy, to put it simply, is a form of governance that can be boiled down to a “rule by experts.” A broader definition of a technocracy can be described as “A form of government in which the decision-maker or makers are selected based on their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge.”(Berndt, Ernst R. (1982)) A technocracy explicitly contrasts with a constitutional, representative democracy: the notion that elected representatives should be the primary decision-makers in government. Techno-populism has been on the rise in Europe over the past several years with candidates and entire political parties gaining the trust of men and women frustrated with the autocratic drift of their nations. While there have been some examples of Techno-populism that have grassroot beginnings and honest intentions, many techno-populist movements have been hijacked by corporate and globalist interests that grift off of authentic and real concerns such as the rise of “woke” politics and culture within our world. Sadly, many of the recent “conservative” victories by techno-populists have been anything but conservative with technocrats such as Giorgia Meloni, Boris Johnson and Glenn Youngkin securing victories in Italy, the U.K. and Virginia. These techno-populist lure the voting public in with well-tuned rhetoric but then eventually lead with an eye towards globalist, authoritarian, top-down control. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

In 2015, Intelligence Squared staged the ultimate clash of civilisations: Greece vs Rome. Boris Johnson, at that time Mayor of London and ardent classicist, made the case for Greece; while Mary Beard, today Lecturer in Classical Archaeology at the University of Sheffield and known for her extensive career as a broadcaster and writer, championed Rome. As we revisit this archive debate held in the pre-Brexit, pre-pandemic era, it's fascinating to observe how history would soon be shaped by some of the figures on stage and whose actions are the subject of much divisive debate today. Our host for the event was the journalist and broadcaster, Andrew Marr.

Even Conservative Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is concerned by how much control Tucker Carlson has over the Republican Party.
