This week, I'm excited to share a special rebroadcast from the Origins Podcast archives: my original Origins Podcast conversation with Noam Chomsky.We recorded this dialog over six years ago, as an update to a conversation we'd held three years prior , before the political upheavals of Trump and Brexit.Listening back now, it's striking how much of what Noam said remains relevant, and in many cases, deeply prescient. As always, he was incisive, informative, provocative, and brilliant. We covered a huge range of topics, starting with the history of anti-intellectualism in America and the role of intellectuals during the Vietnam War , before moving into the nature of American exceptionalism.We also dove into the pressing foreign policy issues of the day, including North Korea, Syria, Israel, Venezuela, and Brazil. While many of the underlying causes may be the same, it's fascinating to see how some of these situations have played out in ways we might never have predicted.From his analysis of free speech debates to his critical concerns about nuclear weapons and the environment, it's a conversation that remains incredibly important.I hope you enjoy revisiting this fascinating conversation.As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers. Your subscriptions support the non-profit Origins Project Foundation, which produces the podcast. The audio version is available free on the Critical Mass site and on all podcast sites, and the video version will also be available on the Origins Project YouTube.

Bijna tien jaar nadat de Britten voor de Brexit stemden, is eindelijk duidelijk wat de economische impact hiervan was. Zoals al lang en breed duidelijk is, heeft het de Britten niet de economische voorspoed opgeleverd die men soms voorgeschoteld kreeg. Nu is de schade ook becijferd. De economie van het Verenigd Koninkrijk zou zijn 6 tot 8 procent groter zijn als het vertrek uit de Europese Unie niet heeft plaatsgevonden, vertelt macro-econoom Edin Mujagic.

When Prince Harry met Meghan Markle in 2016, it looked like a modern royal fairytale. Instead, it became one of the most explosive feuds in the crowns history. This bitter clash between tradition and independence, has accusations of racism and tabloid wars from Kate-Meghan tensions, to claims Charles cut Harry off. It even spawned a Wikipedia page dedicated to 'Megxit' - a play on Brexit. In this episode of The Beefing, Alexandria Funnell unpacks how this feud led to Harry and Meghan leaving the UK, moving to the US, sitting down with Oprah, a Netflix docuseries and Harry’s memoir Spare - that fractured the monarchy.

Brexit, Haushaltslücke, Politik und Wachstum: herausfordernde Zeiten für das Vereinigte Königreich In den letzten 50 Jahren ist in Großbritannien viel passiert. Wie hat sich das Land in diesem halben Jahrhundert gewandelt – wirtschaftlich, gesellschaftlich und politisch? – Ein zentraler Einschnitt war der Brexit. Was waren die wesentlichen Gründe für den Austritt aus der Europäischen Union und was waren die wirtschaftlichen Folgen? Wie haben sich der Brexit und zuletzt das wieder etwas entspanntere Verhältnis zwischen der Europäischen Union und Großbritannien konkret in den Zahlen gezeigt? Haben wir das auch in der deutschen Wirtschaft gespürt? – Fast alle Beobachter sehen im Brexit vor allem Verluste. Aber lässt sich zumindest ein Bereich finden, in dem der Austritt den Briten auch einen Vorteil gebracht hat, auch wenn die Belastungen insgesamt eindeutig überwiegen? – Die Inflation in Großbritannien bleibt hoch, das Wachstum schwächt sich derzeit ab. Kann sich die Lage im kommenden Jahr bessern? Und wie steht es um den Staatshaushalt, kurz bevor Schatzkanzlerin Rachel Reeves das neue Budget vorstellt? Welche Maßnahmen sind zu erwarten? – Auch die Bank of England steht vor schwierigen Entscheidungen: Wird sie trotz immer noch hoher Inflation ihren Leitzins senken können? Könnte ihr eine straffere Fiskalpolitik dabei helfen? – Wenn die Labour-Regierung ihr Wahlversprechen bricht, die Einkommensteuer nicht zu erhöhen, wie gefährlich wäre das für ihre Glaubwürdigkeit? Und könnte dies den Aufstieg der rechtspopulistischen „Reform“-Partei von Nigel Farage weiter befördern? Schließlich: Werden sich Großbritannien und die Europäische Union weiter auseinander entwickeln – oder sich insgesamt doch wieder annähern? Wäre es sogar denkbar, dass das Vereinigte Königreich dereinst wieder der Europäischen Union beitritt?
Professor John Bew joins Neil Melvin to reflect on the UK's evolving global role, strategic reviews, and how Britain can navigate an era of geopolitical upheaval. Over the past decade, the United Kingdom has faced a rapidly transforming global environment marked by the rise of revisionist powers, economic disruption and the erosion of the post-Cold War international order. In response, successive governments have launched a series of major strategic reviews to redefine Britain's global role and national security priorities. In this episode of Global Security Briefing, Neil Melvin speaks with Professor John Bew, former Foreign Policy Adviser to the UK Prime Minister. Professor Bew was the penholder on the last three UK national security strategies and was closely involved in the shaping of the most recent NATO Strategic Concept. Now back at King's College London, he reflects on how the UK has adapted to geopolitical change and what lies ahead for its foreign, defence and security policy. The discussion explores: How the global order is shifting and what this means for the UK's strategic posture. Lessons from three major UK national security reviews and their evolution. The UK's response to Russia's aggression and its separate, complex, relationship with China. The future of European security and Britain's role after Brexit. The Indo-Pacific tilt and what it reveals about the UK's global ambitions. The evolving UK-US relationship and prospects for sustaining the 'Special Relationship'. How Britain can define influence and leadership in a more competitive, multipolar world.
Tax rises! Cuts to everything! Here comes the pain! Seldom has a Budget been heralded with such dire warnings… if you believe the Toryform Press. But according to Giles Wilkes – Institute for Government fellow and former adviser to Vince Cable and Theresa May – Britain isn't in such a disastrous state after all. In a weirdly optimistic conversation he joins Andrew Harrison and Jonn Elledge to look at the real story of Britain's finances; why Brexit is an even bigger drag anchor than the Treasury will admit; and why the embattled Chancellor needs to stick to her course. ESCAPE ROUTES • Jonn has been watching The Celebrity Traitors, yes that again, do our panel ever watch anything else? • Giles recommends Wellington: The Iron Duke by Richard Holmes. • Andrew recommends the old school BBC adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guinness.

#BBC #JonGaunt #BBCBias #Live #Trump #Brexit #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics #MediaBias #BBCLondon #LicenceFee The BBC is DONE — and ex-insider Jon Gaunt says it's about time! Once one of their top talk hosts, Gaunt dubbed them the "Biased Broadcasting Corporation" — and tonight he lifts the lid on their institutionalised bias. From BBC London to the newsroom floor, Jon reveals how bosses tried to muzzle him for speaking truth. He exposes how their anti-Trump agenda, Brexit hatred, and contempt for working-class Britain became standard policy. He calls out the BBC's bias against: Brexit supporters White working-class people Climate sceptics Patriots who love our flag Jon says this latest Trump stitch-up proves it — the BBC's bias is off the scale, and he believes this could be the end of the BBC and the licence fee for good.

Nick Cohen and Robert Saunders, the author and academic, discuss historical political party splits in Britain, particularly in the 1920s when the Liberals split and Labour formed, contrasting with the current situation where both left and right-wing votes are fragmented. Nick and Robert analyse the current political landscape, noting that while the right-wing vote is divided with Nigel Farage being popular, the centre-left could dominate British politics if it remains united. The discussion highlighted the challenges of multi-party democracy under the first-past-the-post system and the potential for new parties like the Greens and a Corbyn-led radical left party to impact the political landscape.They talk about the decline of the two-party system in the UK, highlighting how Labour's popularity has dropped significantly since the 2024 election. Labour barely won a third of the vote in 2024 but still secured a majority of seats under the first-past-the-post system, leading to concerns about the system's fairness. Robert explains that the decline of the two-party system can be traced back to the 1950s, when Labour and the Conservatives together accounted for 97% of the vote, compared to 65% by 2010. They also discuss how Brexit and the implosion of the Liberal Democrats in 2015 temporarily reversed this trend, but Robert believes these were anomalous elections and that the longer-term pattern of decline continues.Tory party is dying on its feet Possibly the most dramatic and most influential event driving current politics is the slow agonising death of the Conservative Party. Robert says "This is a party that used to be anchored in all sorts of important institutions that was very deeply rooted in the world of British business. That was connected to institutions like the Church of England, the armed forces, the kind of voluntarist culture, and that also meant it had a lot of kind of different sources of information and ideas flowing into it. It's either cut itself off from those things, or those things have essentially died. So it's become a kind of tree with no roots, and then I don't think it's entirely surprising, therefore, that it crashed down in the way that it did in 2024. "He adds "The biggest danger for the conservative party was that they took refuge in comfortable myths about their defeat. And I think that's what they've been doing."Read all about it!

Today's conversation is with Darren Grimes.Darren is a political commentator, campaigner, and newly elected Durham County Councillor for Reform UK.Darren first rose to prominence as a young Leave campaigner during the Brexit referendum and later founded Reasoned, a digital platform giving a voice to those who felt “silenced by the tide” of mainstream media narratives.

Does anyone care about British farmers? Those ploughing the fields and harvesting crops certainly don't feel Westminster pays attention to them. So this week Westminster Insider finds out how the relationship between politics and farming – from post-Brexit trade deals to inheritance tax. She speaks to NFU President Tom Bradshaw about how Keir Starmer set up the promise of hope for farmers, before swiftly letting them down. Michael Gove, editor of the Spectator and former Conservative Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) Secretary, admits the Australia trade deal did betray Britain's farmers. Emma Pryor, former special advisor to Defra Secretary George Eustice, explains how subsidies, which mean farmers can make a profit on producing food, changed after Brexit. And Sascha heads to rural South West Norfolk, where she speaks to Terry Jermy, the Labour MP who ousted Liz Truss. He tells her the new rules on inheritance tax are "unfortunate" and he hopes they are changed. Sascha gets on a tractor harvesting potatoes and speaks to farmers Danielle and Richard Gott. And she visits a farm run by Ed Pope which has turned 170 acres of the property into wildlife conservation.

Julian Dunkerton co-founded Superdry and took it to a £2billion market cap at its height in 2010 - within years the company was fighting for survival, and in 2018 he walked away. A decision he says he regrets. But with Superdry now valued at just £8million and looking like it might fail, he returned just one year later and wrestled back control of the company he set up, and began turning it around. After a restructuring, renegotiating rent, and now a rebrand, Superdry has just turned a profit once again.This is the story of that turn around.In it he calls for town centre regeneration and a High Street Renaissance, warning that current policies and Brexit have left British retailers at a disadvantage. He highlights the economic impact of leaving the EU, citing lost free trade and increased costs, and argues that the UK has “gone backwards” since Brexit. In fact he believes a free trade relationship with the EU is possible, and also imperative. Dunkerton also challenges the narrative that young people only shop online, stating that teenagers value physical retail and social experiences, and credits this demographic with driving Superdry's renewed success on the high street.00:00 Sean Farrington and Will Bain introduce the podcast 02:30 Julian Dunkerton joins the podcast, discusses the rise of Superdry 05:25 Stepping aside as Chief Executive & company changes 06:35 Return to profitability 08:44 The turnaround and rebrand of Superdry 10:56 What makes a good shopping experience 13:20 Branding & product quality 14:42 Policy, Brexit & business challenges 20:35 High street policy ideas & town centres 27:24 Tax, globalisation & retail trends 32:13 The future of Superdry & personal projectsPresenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones
This week's Difficult Woman is the human rights barrister, author, and Rachel's former sister-in-law, the very redoubtable Marina Wheeler KC, who has written an acute new book about how the UK should reset relations with the EU after Brexit.In a highly personal and at times confrontational conversation, the pair revisit this most painful and divisive period in British political history: the narrowly fought EU referendum and its bitter aftermath, an unprecedentedly turbulent period which saw the Johnson-Wheeler family thrust centre stage, Marina's marriage to Boris Johnson break down, and her former husband achieve his lifetime's ambition of becoming PM.And that's just the bare bones of it!

In this month's ARINS podcast, host Rory Montgomery chat to Fintan O'Toole and Sam McBride about their recent ARINS publication: For and Against a United Ireland. The prospect of Irish unification is now stronger than at any point since partition in 1921. Voters on both sides of the Irish border may soon have to confront for themselves what the answer to a referendum question would mean - for themselves, for their neighbours, and for their society. Journalists Fintan O'Toole and Sam McBride examine the strongest arguments for and against a united Ireland. What do the words 'united Ireland' even mean? Would it be better for Northern Ireland? Would it improve lives in the Republic of Ireland? And could it be brought about without bloodshed? O'Toole and McBride each argue the case for and against unity, questioning received wisdom and bringing fresh thinking to one of Ireland's most intractable questions. With cartoons by Fergus Boylan. The book has been shortlisted for An Post Book Award 2025 - BEST IRISH-PUBLISHED BOOK OF THE YEAR. See shortlist Book tickets to see the authors debate the strongest arguments for and against a united Ireland in The Lyric Theatre, Belfast and The National Concert Hall, Dublin in November 2025! --- This is episode 47 of a podcast series that provides evidence-based research and analysis on the most significant questions of policy and public debate facing the island of Ireland, north and south.

Listeners on the Best of Spectator playlist can enjoy a section of the latest episode of Quite right! but for the full thing please seek out the Quite right! channel. Just search ‘Quite right!' wherever you are listening now. This week on Quite right!: Rachel Reeves goes on the offensive – and the defensive. After her surprise Downing Street address, Michael and Maddie pick over the many kites that have been flying in advance of the Budget at the end of the month. Was she softening the public up for tax rises, or trying to save her own job? Michael explains why Reeves is wrong to say that Labour's inheritance is the reason for our current economic misfortune and says that it is ‘absolute bollocks' that Brexit is to blame.Next, a chilling weekend of violence sparks a bigger question: are we witnessing the rise of nihilistic crime in Britain? From the Huntingdon train stabbings to rampant shoplifting, are we becoming used to the ‘anarcho-tyranny' that is taking hold – where petty crimes go unpunished and public order breaks down?And finally, from Halloween to Bonfire Night, the culture wars go seasonal. Michael and Maddie debate whether we should loathe ‘pagan' Halloween and instead turn 5 November into a national holiday.Produced by Oscar Edmondson. Hosted on Acast.

De zaak tegen twee Britse mannen, verdacht van spionage voor China, is in het water gevallen. Niet omdat het bewijs tegen de twee ontbreekt, maar omdat Westminster niet hardop wil zeggen dat China een gevaar kan zijn voor de staatsveiligheid. De mannen zijn overigens niet eens blij met deze uitkomst, ze hadden graag voor de rechter hun onschuld bepleit. Ook in deze aflevering Is het probleem van Prince Andrew dan toch existentieel voor de Britse monarchie? Charles gaat in elk geval een stap verder dan voorheen gedacht. Zijn broer levert gedwongen al zijn titels in, zelfs die van Prins. De vraag is of dit offer genoeg is. De populariteit van het Britse koningshuis is op een dieptepunt beland. Waar het wel goed mee gaat? Corner shops. Deze typisch britse kleine kruidenierswinkeltjes zijn al vele malen afgeschreven als gedoemd, maar blijven populair. Wat zit daarachter? 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. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

At first glance, the sequel to the zombie movie 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later is not an obvious pick for a podcast about Arthurian movies. However, after watching a few minutes, it's fairly evident that the movie isn't just a commentary on post-Brexit Britain, the weaponization of nostalgia, and the dangers of Little Englanders, it's playing with all of British history, from the end of its place as part of the Roman Empire--an end that leads to the creation of the Arthurian legend--to the Viking incursions, to the Henry V, the rise and fall of the British Empire, World War II, and the decrepit ruling class that protected monsters like Jimmy Savile and Prince Andrew. Beyond that, it's a meditation on death and compassion, one which asks us to, as the Latin phrase goes, memento mori. Starring Alfie Williams, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, Edvin Rydig, Jack O'Connell, and Chi Lewis-Parry. Written by Alex Garland. Directed by Danny Boyle.

The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) hosts an annual public lecture in honour of Lord Mackenzie-Stuart, the first British Judge to be President of the Court of Justice. Among the eminent scholars of European legal studies invited to give the lecture are Professor Joseph Weiler, former Judge David Edwards of the European Court of Justice, and Advocate-General Francis Jacobs of the European Court of Justice. The texts of the Mackenzie-Stuart Lectures are published in the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies.The 2025-26 Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture was delivered by Professor Anand Menon, Director, UK in a Changing Europe, on the title 'Reflections on the Brexit Revolution' on 3 November 2025.Anand Menon is Director of the UK in a Changing Europe and Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College London. He has written widely on many aspects of EU politics and policy and on UK-EU relations. He is a frequent contributor to the media on matters relating to British relations with the EU.Abstract: The outcome of the Brexit referendum was driven by many forces, including increasing frustration at an economic and political model that seemed to be failing far too many people. And the vote to Leave in fact provided a unique opportunity for this discontent to be addressed. The fact that it was not has merely contributed to the growing appeal of populism. And along the way, many of the things we took for granted about our country and the way it is governed have been challenged.Lecture begins at 03:52The slides are available at:PDF: https://resources.law.cam.ac.uk/cels/MSL_2025_26_slides.pdfPowerpoint: https://resources.law.cam.ac.uk/cels/MSL_2025_26_slides.pptxMore information about this lecture, including photographs from the event, is available from the Centre for European Legal Studies website at:https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/mackenzie-stuart-lectures

Elles font partie des cibles préférées de Donald Trump depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche : les universités. Entre retrait des financements de certains diplômes, la diabolisation de certains établissements réputés et l'arrestation d'étudiants issus de l'immigration au sein même des campus. Faire ses études aux États-Unis ne fait plus rêver, et cela fait le bonheur des universités écossaises. Si l'Écosse a toujours été une destination populaire pour les étudiants américains, dans certaines institutions, ils représentent un étudiant sur cinq. Reportage à l'université d'Édimbourg pour rencontrer ces expatriés. Entre les bâtiments de verre et de briques des départements de l'université d'Édimbourg, des étudiants de toutes origines, mais quelques accents américains se dégagent du brouhaha. Gabby est arrivée cette année : « Je suis en master de politiques publiques comparées. Mon mari a été reçu à l'université en premier, je voulais reprendre un master et c'était le plus simple pour avoir un visa et le rejoindre. Mais maintenant que je suis là, on le vit un peu comme une manière de fuir ce qui se passe chez nous : le définancement de la recherche universitaire, les arrestations d'étudiants ayant manifesté, nous sommes inquiets. » Près d'un étudiant sur dix ici vient des États-Unis. Une tendance loin d'être nouvelle : élu au comité des étudiants et originaire du New Jersey, John Rappa a franchi l'Atlantique en 2019 : « J'aurais pu trouver une université abordable aux États-Unis, mais une institution aussi réputée qu'Édimbourg aurait été hors de mes moyens. Frais de visa et frais de scolarité inclus, dans une monnaie plus forte que le dollar, étudier ici coûte la même chose qu'une université publique dans mon État, alors pourquoi se priver ? » « La qualité de vie est bien meilleure ici » En plus du coût, jusqu'à trois fois moins, à prestige équivalent, il y a l'incertitude liée au climat politique : « La qualité de vie est bien meilleure ici, à commencer par la Sécurité sociale pour tous. Si j'ai des enfants, je veux qu'ils puissent avoir une éducation accessible, et ce n'est pas la direction que prennent les États-Unis. Mes amis qui sont restés voient les budgets de leurs cursus coupés. Mon frère est doctorant en pharmacologie, mais l'administration Trump a arrêté de subventionner sa recherche, donc il ne peut pas être diplômé. L'avenir s'annonce mal. » Les cursus les plus plébiscités ici relèvent des sciences sociales. Les chiffres ne sont pas encore disponibles, mais les universités s'attendent à une nouvelle hausse pour cette année, la première depuis la réélection de Trump. À Édimbourg, les étudiants ont même ressuscité l'association nord-américaine, Freddie Pusch, (Écossais pure souche) est le trésorier : « La société d'amitié nord-américaine n'avait plus existé depuis la pandémie, on l'a ressuscitée. Ces étudiants sont particulièrement bruyants, dit-il en plaisantant. Non, ils amènent un enthousiasme que nous, les locaux, n'avons pas : ils nous rappellent que nous vivons dans une super ville. » Depuis le Brexit, les universités britanniques misent beaucoup sur l'accueil des étudiants extra-européens Américains ou Asiatiques, qui paient les frais de scolarité les plus élevés.

Why won't Labour make rejoining the EU its new "silver bullet" against Nigel Farage? A listener challenges Ed Balls and George Osborne on tackling the "political third rail" of Brexit. Ed argues the EU wouldn't even want the UK back on its old terms - likely forcing the Euro and Schengen - while George predicts Britain will inevitably "creep back" towards the Single Market.Then, a direct question from the Gates Foundation confronts the former Chancellors on the 40% cut to foreign aid. George, the Chancellor who delivered the 0.7% target, blasts the "remarkably silent" and "compliant" aid community, delivering a stark warning to "get louder" or face even more cuts.Plus, with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepping down, could Ed and George be the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing? The pair reveal how unscripted the podcast really is, George shares his favorite TikTok restaurant reviewer, and Ed reacts to his "hot phase" going viral on social media…Thanks for listening.

As the concept of ID cards rears its ugly head once again, Hannah and Jen are asking if Keir Starmer's revolutionary way of eliminating faff will be as effective as Brexit in terms of reducing bureaucracy. Elsewhere, it seems the Home Office could do with some help in getting its day job done. Meanwhile, Henry VIII is repping Sexism of the Week via Hemel Hempstead, there are big international fixtures in Jenny off the Blocks, and thank God, as ever, for the French.

Tussentijdse verkiezingen voor één zetel in het regionale parlement van Wales. Je zou niet verwachten dat de uitslag daarvan de Britse media domineert, laat staan dat je er verregaande conclusies over de toekomst van de politiek van het Verenigd Koninkrijk aan zou moeten verbinden. Toch is de uitslag veelzeggend. De zetel was sinds mensenheugenis in handen van Labour. Dat is nu niet meer zo. Maar het verlies van Labour is niet de meest interessante ontwikkeling. Verwacht werd namelijk dat de Reform-partij van Nigel Farage er met de winst vandoor zou gaan. Maar het werd de Welsh centrum-linkse nationalistische partij Plaid Cymru. Die partij blijkt veel beter in staat een weerwoord tegen Farage te bieden dan de gevestigde orde. En dát is een interessant voorteken voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen in het voorjaar. Ook in deze aflevering Een vacature voor het opvoeden van een peuter tot Engelse gentleman. Als je de juiste papieren en afkomst hebt, kun je er 180 duizend pond per jaar mee verdienen. 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. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

At ExCeL London last week, ManageEngine, the IT management division of Zoho Corporation, announced a major expansion across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The region is now the company's second-largest market worldwide, accounting for ten per cent of global revenue and growing at twenty per cent year on year. For CEO Rajesh Ganesh, the success in the UK and Ireland is both strategic and symbolic. "These markets have always been early adopters of technology," he says. "They were among the first to invest in large-scale digital infrastructure. Today, the focus is on how to get the best return on those investments, how to keep systems running, how to measure productivity, and how to stay secure." ManageEngine growth planned for the UK and Ireland Security is now central to ManageEngine's business. As more companies move to hybrid or fully digital operations, the attack surface expands. Regulations such as GDPR have also raised the stakes. "Regulation is really about evidence," Ganesh explains. "You must always be ready to show that you follow best practices, who has access to what, what happened, and when. That's what our products do. They make that evidence available in real time." ManageEngine operates in 190 countries and has evolved with the industry it serves. Founded in 1996 by engineers who left Bell Labs and Qualcomm to return to India, the original business built software for telecom manufacturers. After the dotcom collapse in 2001, the company pivoted, deciding to build software that could manage any IT infrastructure, not just those of telcos. That decision gave birth to ManageEngine. "We wanted to build a global product company out of India," Ganesh says. "Why should innovation only come from Silicon Valley?" From ten employees in 1996, ManageEngine has grown to a team of six thousand within Zoho's eighteen thousand-strong organisation. The company's core customers are CIOs and IT leaders responsible for keeping modern enterprises secure, compliant, and operational. "Every business today is a digital business," Ganesh says. "Our role is to help them manage that reality." The firm's growth is driven by its end-to-end model. Rather than offering point solutions, ManageEngine provides a single integrated platform covering service management, cybersecurity, compliance, and automation. "Our customers don't want to manage multiple vendors," Ganesh says. "They want one system of record. That's been our vision from the beginning." ManageEngine competes across several categories, from ServiceNow and Atlassian in IT service management to Microsoft in endpoint control, but Ganesh is careful not to define the company purely by competition. "We've always built rather than acquired," he says. "Our technology, support, and cloud infrastructure are all in-house. We even run our own data centres. It's slower, yes, but it keeps us close to our customers and their challenges." That proximity is both cultural and operational. ManageEngine's technical support sits alongside its engineering teams; they travel together, visit customers, and feed insights directly into product development. "We don't outsource," Ganesh says simply. "We believe in face-to-face interaction. Our customers tell us again and again how much they value that." The UK office is in Milton Keynes, and the company operates data centres in the UK, Amsterdam, and Ireland, an investment that proved essential after Brexit. "When the UK left the EU, certain clients, especially in government and healthcare, required data to be hosted locally," Ganesh explains. "We responded immediately by building the infrastructure here." An Irish office is likely to follow. "It makes sense," he says. "We already have a data centre there and a growing customer base. Ireland will be an important part of our regional expansion." The company's long-term approach is deliberate. ManageEngine prioritises resilience over speed, preferring to build self-sufficient systems with minimal external de...
Nuestra serie sobre el conflicto palestino-israelí alcanza el punto de no retorno: la proclamación de la independencia israelí en 1948 y el inicio del conflicto bélico. Analizamos cómo la Resolución 181 de la ONU de 1947, que proponía la partición de Palestina, fue rechazada categóricamente por el bando árabe y aceptada de forma táctica por el sionismo pragmático de David Ben-Gurión con la mira puesta en la expansión territorial. La guerra contra cinco estados árabes culminó con una clara victoria israelí, permitiéndole controlar cerca del 77% del territorio y desatando la NACBA (la catástrofe), el éxodo masivo de refugiados palestinos, un drama que sigue sin resolverse.
Nederland is de enige democratie ter wereld waar een dode politicus met een fantoompartij bij Tweede Kamerverkiezingen ooit 26 zetels won. Nederland is evenzeer befaamd om miljoenen burgers die, voorafgaande aan de verkiezingen, met opgeheven vinger en grote stelligheid beweren dat het dit keer onmogelijk wordt om een coalitie te vormen. En Nederland is een land waar zo’n coalitie er altijd komt. Nooit niet. Kan soms even duren, maar een kniesoor die daarop let. Nederland is ook verslaafd aan clichés die, altijd in een wat andere variant, blijven terugkeren. Zoals ‘strategisch stemmen’ – wat dat ook moge betekenen. Ander voorbeeld: sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog is er geen dag verstreken zonder woningnood. Met, net als nu, elke keer weer nieuwe schijnoplossingen. In de jaren 50 en 60 bedacht de regering ‘woningwetwoningen’, 55 vierkante meter oppervlakte, allemaal identiek, tot aan de voorgeschreven keukenkastjes toe. Armoe troef en het hielp geen zier. De eerste gastarbeiders , zoals ze toen nog heetten, werden in de jaren 50 en 60 door het bedrijfsleven uit Italië, Spanje, Marokko en Turkije gehaald, vaak via koppelbazen, de voorlopers van mensensmokkelaars. Sindsdien hebben we een migratieprobleem. Als een volgend kabinet woningnood en migratieproblemen kan oplossen, zou dat een historisch unicum zijn. Maar hebben we wel zo veel te mopperen? Kijk eens naar de wereld om ons heen. Frankrijk, waar president Macron aan zijn achtste premier zit, met altijd dezelfde problemen: het pensioen verhogen van 62 naar 65, en de 32-urige werkweek verhogen naar 36 uur. Op het moment dat een premier dat onderwerp zelfs maar nóemt, ligt onmiddellijk Air France plat, en binnen een dag de rest van het bedrijfsleven. Of het Verenigd Koninkrijk, dat de prijs betaalt voor die idiote Brexit en sinds Tony Blair geen premier meer heeft gehad die het zorgstelsel draaiende hield. Nu stevent het af op de onvermijdelijke ondergang. Volgens onderzoek van de Würzburg Universiteit zijn 9 van de 27 EU-lidstaten falende democratieën. Nederland staat op de zevende plaats op de ranglijst – OK, maar zeker niet de top. Dat is dus binnen de EU. Buiten de EU kijken we maar even niet, al kost het moeite de ogen te sluiten voor Erdogan en Trump, die systematisch bezig zijn de democratie uit te schakelen. Deze dag is een dag om een vakje rood te kleuren. Ga dat doen. Hoeft niet uit overtuiging – mág natuurlijk best – maar meer uit hoop. Eén ding staat vast: dat kabinet komt er.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The number of cars produced in the UK fell by a massive 27% last month, according to the industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. It says it's due to the cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover that stopped production. Felicity Hannah asks how the sector might be able to recover.Our Friday panel looks back at the big economic stories of the week, including an inert inflation figure that has more than meets the eye behind it, and Rachel Reeves blaming Brexit for some of the UK's difficult economic circumstances.Plus, the most popular Netflix film of all time, Kpop Demon Hunters, is to make what the streaming service calls an "unprecedented" licensing deal for toys and games. One industry insider tells us just how big a deal it is.
A decade ago, the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. It was the culmination of years of partisan arguments over membership. During that time, most newspapers in the UK took strong “leave” or “remain” positions in the stories they wrote. But were they less obviously partisan in their choice of pictures too? Wanyu Chung of University of Birmingham and CEPR was one of a team of researchers that used artificial intelligence to estimate the emotional impact of news images of politicians before and after the Brexit vote.

Les Irlandais sont appelés aux urnes. Ils voteront, vendredi 24 octobre, pour leur prochain président. Une fonction symbolique dans le pays, mais que l'actuel président, Michael D. Higgins, a su transformer en véritable tribune pour aborder les grands enjeux mondiaux, à commencer par la situation à Gaza. La question palestinienne a d'ailleurs animé la campagne, tout comme la réunification avec l'Irlande du Nord. Un sujet brûlant, et pour cause : près de deux tiers des Irlandais, et 60% des Nord-Irlandais, jugent essentiel de se préparer à ce rapprochement historique. Après Belfast, c'est la deuxième plus grande ville d'Irlande du Nord : Derry ou Londonderry. C'est ici qu'ont grandi Daryl et Adam, cigarettes roulées à la bouche et écarteurs aux oreilles. A 25 ans, ils forment à eux deux Crack Pipe, un groupe de hip-hop. Ils sont nés après l'accord de paix du Vendredi saint en 1998 et n'ont donc jamais connu les violences du conflit. Pour eux, la réunification de l'Irlande n'est qu'une question de temps. « Il y a un certain fossé entre les plus âgés et les jeunes, parce que Derry a beaucoup changé. Je crois que les gens veulent avancer, tourner la page et aller de l'avant. La frontière à elle seule entretient la division. » Le changement dont parle Daryl a été illustré en 2022 par la victoire du Sinn Fein aux élections en Irlande du Nord. Une victoire historique pour ce parti, ancien bras politique de l'IRA, l'armée républicaine irlandaise, et qui a relancé le débat sur réunification de l'île. Aujourd'hui, 60% des Nord-Irlandais s'y disent favorables. De l'autre côté de la frontière, c'est un espoir de longue date. Selon un sondage, 64% des citoyens de la République étaient pour fin 2023. Et l'évolution des Nord-Irlandais est importante pour eux, car ces derniers peuvent voter demain à la présidentielle s'ils résident en République d'Irlande. Les promesses de nouvelles perspectives C'est le cas de Karl Duncan, 23 ans, qui a posé ses valises à Dublin il y a à peine deux mois. « Quand on grandit et qu'on vit en Irlande du Nord, les opportunités économiques ne sont pas très nombreuses, surtout en dehors de Belfast. Donc, pour beaucoup de jeunes du Nord, la réunification serait synonyme de nouvelles perspectives en nous rapprochant de l'Union européenne. » Ross Neel, 29 ans, lui est avocat. Originaire de Belfast, il vit à Dublin depuis quelques années. Et à ceux, dans le Sud, qui redoutent le coût de la réunification et soulignent que l'Irlande du Nord est la province la plus pauvre du Royaume, Ross rétorque : « Dublin subit énormément de pression car il n'y a pas assez de logements ni d'infrastructures. À Belfast, en revanche, il y a de l'espace disponible. Il y a des choses que l'Irlande du Nord peut apporter à la République et qu'on ne mesure peut-être pas suffisamment. Par exemple, l'industrie de défense en Irlande du Nord pourrait bénéficier à la République qui est très faible dans ce domaine. » Demain, le rêve longtemps si lointain d'une Irlande réunifiée pourrait donc enfin devenir réalité, entre les mains de la future présidente Catherine Connolly ou Heather Humphreys.
