    Today's political trial is perhaps the most consequential in English history: the trial and execution of King Charles I for treason in January 1649. How could a king commit treason when treason was a crime against the king? How could a court try a king when a king has no peers? How could anyone claim to speak for the people after a civil war when so many people had been on opposite sides? The answers to these questions would cost more than one person his life – but they would also change forever the prospect of holding tyrants to account.

    Today's trial is one of the most notorious in history but also one of the most misremembered. Galileo's epic confrontation with the Catholic Church over the question of whether the earth moves round the sun – culminating with his interrogation and condemnation in Rome in 1633 – was not just a matter of truth vs ignorance or science vs superstition. It was also twenty-year long struggle on the part of both sides to find a way to co-exist. Did they succeed? Not exactly, but it wasn't for want of trying. Then – and perhaps now – science and religion needed each other.

    Van onze correspondent is een serie van de makers van podcast De Dag. Iedere zaterdag maken we kennis met een van de correspondenten van de NOS, het land waar ze wonen, en de verhalen die wat hen betreft meer aandacht verdienen. Vandaag: correspondent Verenigd Koninkrijk & Ierland Fleur Launspach. Terwijl de Britten een nieuw hoofdstuk ingingen, na Brexit, werd Launspach correspondent in Londen voor de NOS. Ook voor haar begon een nieuw hoofdstuk nadat ze jaren in Afrika en Qatar werkte. Het is wennen want de omgang met Britten is onverwachts toch anders dan met Nederlanders. Launspach belandt door haar toenmalige relatie recht in de Britse elite en kijkt haar ogen uit. Daar ziet ze dat de klassenmaatschappij er nog steeds is. Het maakt uit op welke school je zit en de mensen met macht komen vaak van dezelfde dure privéschool. Het contrast met de andere kant van het Verenigd Koninkrijk is enorm, want een groot deel van de Britten leeft in armoede. Een land met twee compleet verschillende gezichten. In de jaren in Londen ging het Verenigd Koninkrijk door grote veranderingen heen: vier premiers kwamen voorbij, koningin Elizabeth overleed, de Conservatives droegen de macht voor het eerst in 14 jaar over naar Labour en regerend premier Keir Starmer trekt meer en meer naar Europa. Fleur zag de Britten afstand nemen van de andere kant van het kanaal en ziet ze nu weer in de armen van de EU drijven. Al die verhalen maakt Launspach vanuit haar "postzegel" zoals ze haar huis in het centrum van Londen noemt. Een piepklein appartement in een stad waar ze van houdt, maar waar de mensen niet altijd zo vriendelijk zijn. De cultuurtips van Fleur: de film The Darkest Hour & muziek van Kae Tempest - People's Faces. Volgende week: Kysia Hekster, EU-correspondent.

    As Reform UK sends its Elon Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team into its new councils to assess "wasteful spending", host Patrick Baker takes a trip to Durham to speak to the county council's new deputy leader, the former Brexit activist and GB News broadcaster, Darren Grimes, about what Reform's DOGE plans might mean for the local area. And in Westminster a whole host of copycat DOGEs have started popping up too.  Max Young, news editor of the right-wing political website Guido Fawkes, runs the project 'UK DOGE', highlighting perceived government waste including Foreign Office cooking courses and research into how to feel like a bee. Matthew Simmonds, economics editor of the Spectator Magazine, explains his own project SPAFF (the Spectator Campaign Against Frivolous Funding), and says tax-payer money is being wasted on items such as expensive e-bikes for welfare claimants and research projects with titles like "The Europe that Gay Porn Built". With claims on the right of so-called "woke waste" in universities and research institutes, Clare McNeil, chief executive of Timewise, a non-profit research organisation, argues the independence of the UK's research sector is vital for our economy and democracy. In Durham, Darren Grimes sets out where he believes Reform will find savings and says the budget for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is in the crosshairs of the party's incoming DOGE unit. Mel Metcalf, chair of Durham Pride, explains his concerns over what any cuts to diversity, equity and inclusion would mean for his festival.  Amanda Hopgood, the former Lib Dem leader of Durham council, defends her record in local government and argues Reform have wildly overstated any savings the incoming DOGE unit will be able to make.

    This week's Mid-Atlantic served up a blistering transatlantic roundup, with host Roifield Brown and a sharp panel of commentators dissecting political dysfunction from the White House to Westminster. First, Elon Musk's abrupt departure from the Trump administration drew collective side-eye. Denise Hamilton called it a “planned grift,” while Michael Donahue reminded us Musk's firms are still swimming in government contracts. As for public perception? Let's just say Tesla's aura now smells a lot like diesel.Next, Trump's vendetta against Harvard and foreign students provoked righteous fury. Michael labelled it “vindictive chaos,” while Denise broke down how this could gut America's soft power for decades. Meanwhile, Cory Bernard coolly suggested British universities may opportunistically benefit from Trump's xenophobic overreach. A win for Oxford, a loss for everyone else.On the UK side, Labour's Brexit “reset” is, according to Cory, “technocratic fudge.” While the EU quietly standardises global regulation, Britain remains a rule-taker masquerading as a rule-maker. The panel skewered Starmer's “quiet alignment” approach, calling it necessary but cowardly. Gaza and the UK's too-little-too-late condemnation of Israeli settlements brought a sombre close, with Denise lamenting performative outrage after the damage is done. Oh, and Trump's tariffs? Illegal, inflationary, and economically suicidal—now rubber-stamped as such by the courts.Selected Quotes from the Episode“This is just a three-card monte. You're looking over here, meanwhile, you're being robbed mercilessly.” – Denise Hamilton“You can't run a country like a business because government's job isn't to make money—it's to deliver the mail and send checks to old people.” – Michael Donahue“The UK's condemnation is just performative. Now that Gaza's flattened, suddenly everyone finds their moral compass.” – Cory Bernard“We are experiencing a level of grift we can't even process.” – Denise Hamilton“The EU is stealthily rewriting global corporate governance—and Britain is just cosplaying sovereignty.” – Roifield Brown Hosted on Acast.

De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles.

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.

    Oxford political scientist Ben Ansell discusses the meme-worthy but deeply explanatory concept of FAFO—f**k around and find out—and its subtler cousin FADFO, where reckless policy choices oddly fail to produce blowback. Why bad ideas often go unpunished, from Brexit to tariffs to defund-the-police slogans and MMT.

    Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has urged the government to strike a deeper trade deal with the European Union to improve growth and “minimize negative effects” of Brexit. He welcomed the recent agreement with Brussels to reduce border checks on food, and rejoin the EU’s electricity market and emissions trading system in exchange for 12 years of access to UK fisheries, and called on officials to go further.The government expects the EU deal to add 0.2% to the level of GDP by 2040 but the boost pales against the 4% overall hit to the UK economy from Brexit, as estimated by the Office for Budget Responsibility.

    In a recent survey, supporters of Nigel Farage ranked ‘being English' ahead of ‘being a parent' as a signifier of who they are.How has it come to this? Even as the dissatisfaction with Brexit grows, Farage who drove so much of the vote by playing on the most irrational fears, is England's most popular politician. On Free State today, Joe and Dion look at the rise of English nationalism and what it means for the rest of Britain, as well as Ireland.They look at the frenzy within minutes of the Liverpool Parade crash to find the identity of the suspect, but only if it fitted with their existing prejudices.They identify how nationalism always ends in an assertion of supremacy.While Joe has some good things to say about Fintan O'Toole and Dion offers a solution to the Celtic Soul Brothers.

    In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I am joined by Scarlett Sieber, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Money20/20, to explore the key trends shaping finance's future. As Money20/20 Europe celebrates its 10th anniversary, Scarlett provides a detailed preview of what we can expect from this year's event, bringing together over 8000 senior industry leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of fintech, regulation, and technology. Money20/20 Europe is not just a conference. It is a critical platform for addressing the big questions about where money, tech, and regulation are headed. Scarlett highlights the growing collaboration between traditional banks and fintech companies, calling it the "golden era" of partnerships. This shift drives innovation, and we discuss how these partnerships are evolving to enable more personalized, efficient financial services for businesses and consumers alike. A significant focus of our conversation is the rise of stablecoins, which are transforming cross-border payments in ways similar to how the internet changed the telecom industry. We talk about the regulatory challenges that need to be addressed to fully harness their potential and ensure their adoption on a global scale.  Scarlett also shares insights into how AI revolutionizes financial services, enabling more intelligent, automated solutions while raising important questions about trust, data privacy, and security. We also discuss the impact of the UK's post-Brexit regulatory flexibility, with Scarlett explaining how this presents a unique opportunity for the UK to lead in fintech innovation. However, she points out that policy execution must keep pace with technological advancements. Tune in for a conversation about the future of fintech and a timely preview of Money20/20 Europe, where innovation and regulatory discussions will define the next wave of financial services.

There's a lot of politics to catch up on including some big shifts from the Labour government.  First on Gaza - Keir Starmer and David Lammy changed tack with fierce criticism of the Israeli government. But critics argue that without an actual arms embargo talking tough with Israel is inadequate. So is it all too little, too late?  And in another change of direction, the Prime Minister has been listening to voters and his own disgruntled MPs on benefits. He signalled a rethink on one of Labour's most unpopular moves - cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners. But reforms of disability benefits are still on the cards so Nish heads to Westminster where disability activists gathered to lobby their MPs. With a major rebellion on the cards from Labour MPs, can Starmer be steered into a U-turn on this too?
