‘I predicted it would lead to an invasion, I was demonised for daring to say the word, but I would suggest 180,000 people later, perhaps I was right!'Nigel Farage reacts to Keir Starmer's ‘Farage boat' comments blaming Brexit for the small boat crisis.

Sir David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, has called on Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, to provide the full reasoning behind the decision to cut funding for Nigel Farage's security detail.Despite being a political rival of Mr Farage, the veteran Tory MP tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today's Daily T that the Government's “premeditated” labelling of the Reform leader as racist at Labour's party conference may “heighten the risk” he faces and that his role as a high-profile politician means he deserves “serious protection”.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also look ahead to the Conservative Party conference, which gets under way this weekend, and ask the question – should Kemi Badenoch mention Nigel Farage or not?

Keir Starmer, tot - pak 'm beet - gisteren politiek doodverklaard, heeft zowaar een goede beurt gemaakt op het Labour congres in Liverpool. Met een voor zijn doen vlammend betoog voor nationale vernieuwing liet de kwakkelende premier zich van een nieuwe kant zien. Vanwaar deze metamorphose? Starmer heeft het politiek makkelijker gekregen, paradoxaal genoeg door de opkomst en immense populariteit van de Reform-partij van Nigel Farage. Nu hij een serieuze vijand heeft, kan hij zijn eigen verhaal beter kwijt. Starmer schotelt het land een keuze voor: fatsoen of verdeling. vernieuwing of achteruitgang. Is dit een tijdelijke opleving, of gaat het de belegerde premier eindelijk een keer voor de wind? Ook in deze aflevering Hekserij en transgenders. Emma Watson en JK Rowling hebben flink ruzie, en het heeft er alle schijn van dat het niet meer goedkomt tussen de twee. Schrijver en acteur staan lijnrecht tegenover elkaar in de discussie over rechten voor transgenders. Oh ja, en Connor is terug. 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.

 Tommy ROBINSON - Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 2)         The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0003 The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march's overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson's. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain's political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it. Rights of Asylum Seekers (while claim is pending) Employment: Not normally allowed to work.  May apply for permission to work only if their claim has been outstanding for over 12 months through no fault of their own.  If granted, work is restricted to jobs on the Shortage Occupation List. Financial Support: Eligible for Asylum Support (provided by the Home Office). Current rate: about £49.18 per person, per week (loaded onto an ASPEN debit card). Additional allowances may be given for pregnant women, babies, and young children. Housing: Provided with accommodation on a no-choice basis (can be shared housing or hostels, not chosen by the applicant). Must stay where the Home Office places them. Health Care: Entitled to use the NHS free of charge while their claim is being considered. Includes GP services, hospital care, and maternity care. Education: Children of asylum seekers have the right to attend state schools. Asylum seekers usually cannot access student loans for university. Rights of Recognised Refugees (once status is granted) ·    Employment: Full right to work in the UK. ·    Benefits: Full access to welfare benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, housing benefit, child benefit).  ·    Housing: Can apply for social housing and access homelessness assistance. ·    Health Care: Full NHS access on the same basis as UK citizens. ·    Education: Children can attend school; adults can access student finance for higher education. ·    Travel: May apply for a Refugee Travel Document to travel abroad (not valid for country of persecution).

Before becoming Ireland's youngest Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar was a Dublin GP with bold ambitions and a belief that politics could be a kind of medicine for society.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the former Prime Minister to explore his extraordinary rise from a mixed-heritage childhood in 1980s Ireland, to leading his country through Brexit battles, historic referendums and the turbulence of the pandemic. They discuss the unlikely path that took him from medical practice to the world stage, the emotional costs of leadership, and why he chose to step away at just 45 years old.Frank, reflective and often surprising, this is a conversation about resilience, identity, and what it really means to hold power in a changing IrelandFind out more about Leo Varadkar's memoir Speaking My Mind here

Four and a half thousand miles away in Nepal, Gen Z protestors recently brought down their government in just 48 hours, amid roiling anger over corruption and nepotism. The uprising, led by online influencers harnessing the power of AI and Tik Tok, has sent shockwaves through South Asia. So, this week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker decides it's time to look at U.K. politics through the eyes of Gen Z  —  generally regarded as those born between 1997 and 2012. Luke Tryl, UK director of polling company More in Common, sheds light on the concerns of a generation that has only ever known constant crisis — from the 2008 financial crash to Brexit paralysis and then the Covid-19 pandemic.   A Gen Z focus group describes what matters to them, and which political parties are grabbing their attention. Gen Z MPs — Sam Carling, the Labour MP known as the ‘Baby of the House', Keir Mather, who recently became the youngest Government minister in 200 years, and Lib Dem MP Joshua Reynolds — set out their plans to restore their generation's faith in mainstream Westminster politics. ‘Your Party' co-leader Zarah Sultana, which has polled well with young people, speaks to Patrick at a grassroots party meeting in North London, where we hear from Gen Z about their hopes for the future, and why they still back Jeremy Corbyn. With a big increase in Gen Z men voting for Reform UK, Owain Clatworthy, a 21-year-old Reform UK councillor in Bridgend in Wales, explains why he stood for Nigel Farage's right-wing populist party at such a young age. And following the recent killing of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a U.S.college campus, Patrick attends his memorial in London to speak to young men inspired by Kirk's ultra-conservative brand of right-wing politics.

In many ways, Leo Varadkar was a historic Taoiseach. The youngest Irish PM, the first from an ethnic minority, and the first openly gay head of government. His time at the top of Irish politics was also historic - he grappled with Trump's first term, the Brexit years, and the Covid pandemic. At just 44 years of age, he walked away from politics. But he is still fascinated - even obsessed - by the political arena. He's written a memoir, 'Speaking My Mind', about his rise to power and his time at the seat of government. He came into The News Agents studio to speak to Lewis about the populist surge and where Starmer is failing in his efforts to curb it here, what it's like dealing with Donald Trump up close and personal, and why he found Boris Johnson easier to deal with than Theresa May - even though he couldn't trust him.

In this episode, we talk to political journalist Seb Whale about his new book The Usual Channels, which reveals the hidden world of Westminster's whips. Seb charts how party discipline has evolved – from the stormy politics of the 1970s and the Maastricht battles of the 1990s to the legendary “black book,” the Brexit showdowns and the short-lived Liz Truss premiership. He explains how the whips' office has adapted to a modern Parliament—especially with the influx of women MPs—and why, even today, whips still wield decisive influence over MPs' careers and remain indispensable despite the pressures of contemporary politics.___ Please help us improve Parliament Matters by completing our Listener Survey. It will only take a few minutes.Go to: https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/QxigqshS Political journalist Seb Whale's new book, The Usual Channels: Inside the Mysterious World of Political Whips, takes us inside the famously secretive world of Westminster's whips. It lifts the lid on how these behind-the-scenes powerbrokers have shaped British politics for decades.Seb shares how he interviewed dozens of current and former whips to piece together the real story – tracking their evolution from the days of Humphrey Atkins, Walter Harrison and Jack Weatherill in the stormy 1974–79 Parliament, through the Maastricht battles of the 1990s, the Brexit upheavals under Theresa May and Boris Johnson, and the dramatic downfall of Liz Truss.We explore how the arrival of many more women MPs under New Labour, the rise of social media, and a more independently minded generation of backbenchers have forced whips to adapt their tactics – without losing their grip on ministerial careers or party discipline. Seb also reveals the truth behind the legendary “black book” of MPs' secrets and the enduring mix of “carrot and stick”.The conversation highlights why the relationship between the Government whips' office and Number 10 has been decisive – from Margaret Thatcher's exit to Liz Truss's collapse – and looks ahead to the whips' future in a Commons marked by high turnover, a commanding majority and ever-fractious politics. Despite these pressures, Seb argues, the whips remain the unseen grease that keeps the machinery of Parliament running.

"Weimar Britain" – mit diesen zwei furchterregenden Worten titelte das Magazin 'The Spectator' und beschreibt damit ein Land im Fieber, am Rande eines Nervenzusammenbruchs.Massendemonstrationen in London, brennende Wut vor "Asylhotels", für die die Regierung täglich 8 Millionen Pfund ausgibt, während die eigene Infrastruktur kollabiert – Großbritannien versinkt im Chaos.In diesem Video enthüllen wir die größte politische Ironie unserer Zeit:➡️ Das gebrochene Versprechen: Die Konservativen gewannen den Brexit mit dem Slogan "Take Back Control" über die Grenzen.➡️ Die "Boris-Welle": Stattdessen lösten sie durch katastrophales Missmanagement die größte Migrationswelle in der Geschichte des Landes aus und verloren die Kontrolle vollständig.➡️ Das Ergebnis: Ein Land, dessen Systeme kollabieren und dessen Wut so groß ist, dass sie radikale Figuren wie Tommy Robinson aus dem Schatten holt und ihnen eine riesige Bühne gibt.Das Schauspiel in Großbritannien ist keine ferne Show. Es ist ein Blick in unseren eigenen Spiegel und eine Warnung an ganz Europa.

AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money  01:33 Microsoft and OpenAI make a deal: Reading between the lines of their secretive new agreement – GeekWire Microsoft and OpenAI have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding that will restructure their partnership, with OpenAI’s nonprofit entity receiving an equity stake exceeding $100 billion in a new public benefit corporation where Microsoft will play a major role. The deal addresses the AGI clause that previously allowed OpenAI to unilaterally dissolve the partnership upon achieving artificial general intelligence, which had been a significant risk for Microsoft’s multi-billion-dollar investment. Both companies are diversifying their partnerships – Microsoft is now using Anthropic’s technology for some Office 365 AI features, while OpenAI has signed a $300 billion computing contract with Oracle over five years. Microsoft’s exclusivity on OpenAI cloud workloads has been replaced with a right of first refusal, enabling OpenAI to participate in the $500 billion Stargate AI project with Oracle and other partners. The restructuring allows OpenAI to raise capital for its mission while ensuring the nonprofit’s resources grow proportionally, with plans to use funds for community impact, includin

Als de nachten langer worden, de bladeren van de bomen vallen en het nog vaker regent dan normaal, betekent dat in het Verenigd Koninkrijk maar een ding: Het seizoen van de jaarlijkse partijcongressen is weer begonnen. Deze week is het de beurt aan de LibDems die met hun vorig jaar behaalde 72 kamerzetels, de komende dagen pakkende strategieën moeten bedenken om hun populariteit te vergroten. En dan blikken we natuurlijk terug op het staatsbezoek van Donald Trump. Nadat koning Charles hem heeft uitgezwaaid speculeren de Britten er op los wat het bezoek van de Amerikaanse president en zijn wederhelft het Verenigd Koninkrijk op economisch vlak heeft opgeleverd.

SummaryLet's face it - Labour inherited a total shit show after 14 years of Tory misrule - an economy crippled by Brexit, immigration chaos, turds in our rivers and seas, and rapidly deteriorating public services. But - inevitably - it's Sir Keir Starmer who's getting the blame for the country's woes, thanks mainly to the the fickleness of the electorate as well as the country's evident decline. But Labour seems to have bent over backwards to help its opponents with self-inflicted wounds such as inept communications, avoidable scandal and bouts of epic political bungling.As the Labour Party Conference gets under way next weekend, Nick Cohen talks to Keir Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin about the prime minister's leadership position within the Labour Party, examining the PM's challenges and potential future in politics.Labour needs to expose the malice and plastic patriotism of the Far RightNick and Tom discuss the current state of Labour's position, focusing on whether Sir Keir Starmer's leadership is in jeopardy. They highlighted Labour's low vote share in the 2024 election and recent poor opinion poll ratings, including a recent approval rating of minus 54 for Keir Starmer. The discussion touches on the potential leadership challengers within the Labour Party, including, possibly the current metro-mayor for Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, with Nick noting the historic difficulty of replacing a sitting Prime Minister, particularly in the Labour Party. In contrast, as we know, the Tories have never had any problem knifing their leaders in the back - or front.Both Tom and Nick explore the broader topic of combating the far right in politics. Tom says Starmer should articulate Labour values more forcefully and espouse his own more gentle and inclusive version of patriotism in stark contrast to the nationalist bombast of Nigel Farage and and the more sinister extremism of Tommy Robinson/Yaxley-Lennon.Starmer needs to articulate & lead national renewalTom says Starmer needs to be able to convincingly argue for a gentle and inclusive patriotism, to lead a sense of national renewal and take on the plastic patriots of Farage and the far right, He says, "It's not some sepia-tinted restoration of the past. It's not some like we're going to like back ruling the waves like Boris Johnson pretended, or you where the country invented liberties. So we don't need to be members of the ECHR or this nonsense."Read all about it!The paperback version of Tom's must-read bestseller, Keir Starmer, the biography, is out now with updated chapters.Nick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

#Starmer #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #ResignStarmer #Identitycards #PollShock #Palestine #Immigration #IDCards  54% of Brits want Keir Starmer to RESIGN — and he's acting like nothing's wrong.  Fourteen months in and the wheels are off: • Poll shock: Majority want him OUT now. • Palestinian state recognition: 9 in 10 Brits oppose it (Telegraph poll) — he's ploughing on anyway.  • Identity cards: Another scheme voters don't want. • Immigration chaos: dinghy crossings, migrant hotels, broken promises, freebies, corruption, the Mandelson scandal… the lot.  He thinks the problem is flags. The problem is HIM.  No deal on Palestine until Hamas releases every hostage. No more gimmicks. No more lies. Is this a political death wish — or will Britain force a Starmer resignation?  #StarmerResignation #StarmerOut #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty #UKNews #BreakingNews #PoliticalCrisis #Britain #UKGovernment #PollShock #Starmer #UKBreakingNews  Starmer resignation, Keir Starmer, Starmer out, UK politics, Labour Party, Political crisis UK, Britain news, Immigration crisis UK, Palestine recognition UK, Identity cards UK, ID cards UK, Migrant hotels, Labour scandals, UK polls, Brexit politics, UK government, Political meltdown, UK breaking news  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt  

Tommy ROBINSON -  Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 1) The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0002 The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march's overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson's. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain's political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it. Rights of Asylum Seekers (while claim is pending) Employment: Not normally allowed to work.  May apply for permission to work only if their claim has been outstanding for over 12 months through no fault of their own.  If granted, work is restricted to jobs on the Shortage Occupation List. Financial Support: Eligible for Asylum Support (provided by the Home Office). Current rate: about £49.18 per person, per week (loaded onto an ASPEN debit card). Additional allowances may be given for pregnant women, babies, and young children. Housing: Provided with accommodation on a no-choice basis (can be shared housing or hostels, not chosen by the applicant). Must stay where the Home Office places them. Health Care: Entitled to use the NHS free of charge while their claim is being considered. Includes GP services, hospital care, and maternity care. Education: Children of asylum seekers have the right to attend state schools. Asylum seekers usually cannot access student loans for university. Rights of Recognised Refugees (once status is granted) ·    Employment: Full right to work in the UK. ·    Benefits: Full access to welfare benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, housing benefit, child benefit).  ·    Housing: Can apply for social housing and access homelessness assistance. ·    Health Care: Full NHS access on the same basis as UK citizens. ·    Education: Children can attend school; adults can access student finance for higher education. ·    Travel: May apply for a Refugee Travel Document to travel abroad (not valid for country of persecution).

Großbritannien wird von riesigen Anti-Migrations-Protesten erschüttert – angeführt von einem verurteilten Hooligan. Was ist nur auf der Insel los? Plötzlich ist von Weimarer Verhältnissen die Rede und ein früherer Fußball-Schläger namens Tommy Robinson führt hunderttausende Bürger auf die Straße. Grund dafür ist die Migrationskrise, die Großbritannien mit dem Brexit eigentlich hinter sich lassen wollte. Doch ironischerweise wurde sie erst mit dem EU-Austritt richtig groß. Paul Ronzheimer spricht mit Filipp Piatov über die Lage im Vereinigten Königreich, der den britischen Aufwiegler und Anti-Islam-Aktivisten Tommy Robinson zum Interview getroffen hat. Der frühere Hooligan will die muslimische Migration stoppen, träumt von einem Bündnis mit der AfD und wird im Königreich immer mächtiger.Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt, dann lasst gerne Like & Abo da!

Les incursions de drones russes, mais aussi biélorusses sur le territoire polonais, n'ont fait qu'accélérer la mobilisation du pays pour sa défense. La présence des avions de chasse, britanniques, français et allemands a été renforcée sur le flanc Est de l'Otan. Mais ce sont aussi les simples citoyens polonais qui s'engagent. Dix mille jeunes ont ainsi participé cet été au programme «Vacances avec l'armée». Le but : former des réservistes, mais aussi pourquoi pas de futurs militaires. La troisième session qui a remporté beaucoup de succès auprès des étudiants, vient de s'achever juste avant la rentrée universitaire. Adrien Sarlat est allé suivre un des derniers entrainements dans une brigade militaire de Varsovie.   Les pêcheurs français impactés par le Brexit Ils sont inquiets, les pêcheurs français. Le secteur est pourtant un mastodonte. Le pays est le deuxième producteur de produits de pêche en Europe après l'Espagne. Mais les crises écologiques et surtout le Brexit... sont de grands facteurs d'inquiétude.   En mai 2025, un nouvel accord a prolongé l'autorisation de pêche dans les eaux britanniques jusqu'en 2038, mais les Britanniques cherchent à protéger toujours un peu plus leur zone de pêche en créant de nouvelles aires marines protégées.   Dans l'ouest de la France, en Bretagne, le port du Guilvinec premier port de pêche artisanal de l'hexagone a subi de plein fouet tous ces remous. C'est le reportage d'Olivier Favier.  «Pêche, un métier sans filet» : la chronique de La Revue Dessinée Pêcheur, un métier à la fois en souffrance mais aussi décrié, notamment pour la pêche au chalut.

CW: Spoilers for 28 Days Later and discussions of disturbing subject matter.Jacob Dallas and Lenore Olson of the literary podcast The Socialist Shelf join me from Atlanta for a discussion of Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later.Set a couple of decades after the UK was consumed by the Rage Virus of the first film and is now a nation isolated from the rest of the world, 28 Years Later takes place on a small island community in Northern England that has in turn isolated itself from the mainland, and depicts the rituals of this broken society where the surviving men are the hunter gatherers and the women are the providers.28 Years Later also operates as a metaphor for the UK in the shadow of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, with a society that has forgotten the details of the past but carries on. We discuss some of the provocative ideas 28 Years Later puts forward, including some sympathy for the infected, some contempt for the surviving human race, and the disturbing (and unexpectedly comedic) coda that marks this film as Extremely British, which may not have been clear to international audiences (and indeed enraged some British viewers), while setting up next January's sequel.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Sådan her kan utilfredshed altså også se ud: Som tusinder og atter tusinder af små levende prikker, der – filmet fra luften af en drone – langsomt bevæger sig gennem Londons gader. 150.000 mennesker. Klemt tæt sammen og på vej gennem byen. Som en tyktflydende væske med britiske og engelske flag i hænderne. ”Send them home”, bliver der råbt. “Protect our kids” og “We want our country back”. Mens dronen flyver hen over byens tage, ser man menneskemængden fylde en lang gade fra husmur til husmur. Ligesom den næste gade. Og den næste igen; nogle steder breder den sig ud i de tilstødende gader, og hvor der er pladser, svulmer den op og fylder pludselig det hele. Det er meget utilfredshed samlet på ét sted. Men hvad demonstrerer de egentlig imod? Er det indvandringen? Islam? Eller tømmermændene oven på Brexit? Det spørger vi Politikens Europa-korrespondent Martin Bjørck om i dagens 'Du lytter til Politiken'.

Staatsbezoeken in het VK zijn doorgaans opgewekte, ongecompliceerde gebeurtenissen, waar de Britse burgers verder weinig van merken. In het geval van het bezoek van president Trump dat vandaag, woensdag begint, ligt het allemaal et iets anders. Hoe de komende dagen zullen verlopen is een kwestie van afwachten, maar de Britten staan stijf van de spanning. Hoe zullen de aangekondigde demonstraties verlopen en zal het ietwat ongeleide projectiel Donald Trump zich aan het protocol houden en zich niet met de Britse politiek bemoeien? Ook in deze aflevering Menig televisie format is hier op gebaseerd: het bijleggen van familievetes. Maar in het geval van Koning Charles en zoon Harry waren pottenkijkers niet welkom: Na anderhalf jaar radiostilte werd tijd vrij gemaakt voor een goed gesprek tussen vader en zoon in de hoop de plooien glad te strijken. En dat is een flinke klus maar vooral voor de Britse koning zeer welkom. Want een verzoening tussen vader en zoon zou het imago van Charles wel eens die broodnodige boost kunnen geven ... 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.

Robin Aitken is a former BBC journalist, author, and contributor to The Daily Telegraph. In this episode, he discusses his chapter in the book "The BBC: After the licence fee?"We discuss the BBC's internal culture, its approach to impartiality, the representation of religious perspectives, its coverage of events such as Brexit, audience trust in the BBC and factors affecting licence fee payments.“There is an assumption in the BBC, broadly speaking, that public is always better than private; that a social democratic government anywhere in the world is always going to be preferable to what the BBC often terms ‘Far Right,' and the way that they use those terms is itself such a giveaway.”Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatchTo support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.

Leo Varadkar's new memoir promises readers an insight into what the former taoiseach really thought about the monumental events - Covid, Brexit, the housing crisis - that he was centrally involved in. He talks to Hugh Linehan and Irish Times Britain and Ireland editor Mark Hennessy about the book and his life and times in politics. He explains why Eoghan Murphy may have been suited to a government role other than Housing Minister, why he and Phil Hogan still don't speak, why a Covid inquiry still hasn't happened and why the question of reunification may need serious consideration more quickly than we think.

Las Bolsas arrancan la semana con la mirada puesta en varias citas importantes que podrían marcar el rumbo de los mercados en los próximos días, como la rebaja de rating de Fitch a Francia, y la decisión que pueda tomar el miércoles la Reserva Federal (Fed), con la expectativa de una posible bajada de tipos. Además, los inversores estarán atentos a otras referencias como la inflación en Europa, la reunión del Banco de Japón y los resultados de empresas como Lennar y FedEx. En el terreno geopolítico, las negociaciones comerciales entre China y EE. UU. en Madrid siguen siendo un punto de atención para los mercados por su posible impacto en las tensiones comerciales globales. Además, el viaje de Donald Trump a Londres y sus repercusiones para la relación entre EE. UU. y Reino Unido tras el Brexit, será otra de las citas importantes de esta semana. En este contexto, en la Tertulia de Mercados de Capital Intereconomía, analizan estas claves Pilar García-Germán, Directora Asociada de ventas de Fidelity International; Juan Ramón Caridad, Director de clientes estratégicos de Pictet AM en Iberia y Latam; Patricia Tomás, Directora de Ventas España de Alken AM; y Gonzalo Ramón-Borja Álvarez de Toledo, Country Manager y Managing Director en España de Swisscanto International Asset Management

« Mourir pour des idées, d'accord, mais de mort lente », chantait Georges Brassens. Mais pour la députée britannique Jo Cox, la sentence fut brutale. Trois coups de feu suffirent à éteindre ses convictions. Le 16 juin 2016, elle est sauvagement assassinée en pleine rue devant plusieurs témoins. Un crime survenu à seulement quelques jours du référendum sur le Brexit, et presque allégorie de la cristallisation politique du pays que ces débats entraînent. Jo Cox, la travailliste engagée pour le maintien du Royaume-Uni dans l'Union Européenne et l'ouverture du pays à l'immigration, tuée par Thomas Mair, adepte de théories suprémacistes blanches et ultra-nationalistes.

Une réputation à des années lumières du crime qu'il a commis.Depuis plusieurs années, il travaille comme jardinier bénévole pour des personnes âgées, notamment pour un voisin handicapé à qui il vient en aide plusieurs après-midis par semaine. Il entretient gratuitement les pelouses, taille les haies, répare des clôtures. Il le dit lui-même, le jardinage, c'est toute sa vie. Ses voisins le décrivent comme poli, réservé. On lui reconnaît parfois une certaine excentricité, mais il ne s'est jamais montré menaçant envers qui que ce soit.

Seamus Murphy is an Irish photographer and filmmaker who has spent decades documenting life in some of the world's most challenging places—from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to Nigeria's Boko Haram territories. Having left recession-era Ireland in the 1980s to teach himself photography in American darkrooms, Murphy has become that rare artist who moves seamlessly between conflict zones and recording studios, creating books of Afghan women's poetry while directing music videos that anticipated Brexit. Tyler and Seamus discuss the optimistic case for Afghanistan, his biggest fear when visiting any conflict zone, how photography has shaped perceptions of Afghanistan, why Russia reminded him of pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland, how the Catholic Church's influence collapsed so suddenly in Ireland, why he left Ireland in the 1980s, what shapes Americans impression of Ireland, living part-time in Kolkata and what the future holds for that “slightly dying” but culturally vibrant city, his near-death encounters with Boko Haram in Nigeria, the visual similarities between Michigan and Russia, working with PJ Harvey on Let England Shake and their travels to Kosovo and Afghanistan together, his upcoming film about an Afghan family he's documented for thirty years, and more.
