Has the demise of London's leading financial services been "greatly exaggerated", and does the underlying evidence tell a very different story? In this interview, held at Mansion House in the historic City of London financial district, the Right Honourable Alastair King (696th Lord Mayor of the City of London) explains his view that the UK enjoys an unrivalled position, untouched by other European capitals. He explains London and the wider UK “moat”, and why it exhibits persistency and resilience. Perhaps the most unexpected statistic is the significant growth in employment numbers in the City since Brexit. He discusses the importance of the Mansion House Reforms and the £75bn of investment by 2030, headed into private assets. He discusses why we must recognise that we need to take more risk, judiciously but emphatically (and this is directed at both public and private markets). Lord Alastair then touches on the lessons we can learn from Canada and Australia and his current priorities. Finally, he explains why we need to get on planes/trains in order to trumpet the UK and drive new business opportunities.

UKPolitics #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Gaza #Hamas #Trump Jon Gaunt sits down with former Brexit Party MEP and leading businessman Lance Forman for a hard-hitting interview on UK politics, the Middle East, Donald Trump, and the future of Britain. Lance blasts Keir Starmer's “ceasefire ultimatum” as a dangerous gamble — accusing him of rewarding terrorism, ignoring Donald Trump's influence, and pandering to his backbenchers over fears of Jeremy Corbyn's political comeback. He argues that Israel has already offered a ceasefire, and that Hamas is holding things up. He doesn't hold back on the BBC, accusing it of bias and a hidden anti-Semitic agenda in British politics and media. Lance warns that Starmer's first year in office has been a disaster, and predicts: “There's no way back for Starmer… and that's quite dangerous.” From Trump's approach to business, immigration, and taxes to the lack of real-world experience in the UK's political elite, Lance delivers an unfiltered take on why Britain is “in such a mess.” He also defends Nigel Farage from the Jimmy Savile smear, calling him the most charismatic leader in UK politics today. In this explosive conversation, Lance also reveals: • Why Trump “gets” the Middle East and Starmer doesn't • The truth about Brexit and Theresa May • Why a new definition of Islamophobia is unnecessary • How political inexperience is crippling Britain's leadership If you care about UK politics, Brexit, free speech, or the Middle East, you won't want to miss this. #Brexit #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Ceasefire #Israel #Hamas #Trump #BBCBias #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #Corbyn #MiddleEast #Islamophobia #TheresaMay #BrexitParty Lance Forman, jon gaunt, keir starmer, gaza, ceasefire, israel, hamas, trump, bbc bias, uk politics, nigel farage, corbyn, middle east, islamophobia, theresa may, brexit party, starmer gaza gamble, starmer is finished, dangerous times ahead, uk government, labour party, political crisis, british politics, farage next pm
Are Britain's doctors striking based on a broken metric? Economist Andrew Lilico says RPI—the measure unions love—is complete NONSENSE compared to CPI. Policy analyst Francois Valentin agrees, claiming you'd be hard-pressed to find ANY profession with real wage growth since 2008 using that number.Then we turn to the EU's silent acceptance of Trump's tariffs. Lilico calls it a political HUMILIATION. Valentin says it shatters the Brexit-era myth that being part of a big bloc makes you stronger.Finally, we dive into a bold new idea: could Britain bring back global wealth with laser-focused tax breaks? It's controversial, it's strategic — and it might just work.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster. Go to capx.co to subscribe. Hosted on Acast.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Charles St-Arnaud, Chief Economist of Alberta Central, about the risks of and economic impacts of Alberta Separation. Charles has over 17 years of experience as an economist in the public and private sectors, both in Canada and internationally (New York, London, Hong Kong). Charles was at the Department of Finance in Ottawa during the global financial crisis, where he advised senior officials on economic policy. He has also worked for the Bank of Canada and Morgan Stanley.Charles St-Arnaud discussed the topic of Alberta separation, comparing it to Quebec's desire for separation and Brexit. Charles notes that Alberta's reasons for separation are more economically driven than culturally motivated, similar to Brexit. He suggests that Alberta is not fully realizing how the global energy market has changed since the early 2010s, making it unlikely to experience another economic boom like the one in 2010. Brian ends this episode with some of his own thoughts on separation desires in Quebec, Brexit, Alberta, and even Peel.

'Groot Brittannië smeult. Je hoeft de gloeiende as maar een beetje op te porren en de hele boel vat vlam”: zo staat te lezen in het onderzoeksrapport naar de hevige rellen die vorig jaar in Engeland plaatsvonden. Rellen die vijf dagen duurden en in het hele land voor onrust zorgden. Volgens de onderzoekers is Groot Brittannië een jaar later nog steeds ‘een powder keg’, oftewel een vat buskruit. Over racisme gesproken: daar hebben de Engelse voetbalvrouwen afgelopen weken enorm veel last van gehad. Het Engelse team drong door tot de finale van het EK - en wonnen van Spanje. Maar de racistische uitlatingen aan het adres van de Engelse voetbalvrouwen hebben voor het team een flinke stempel gedrukt op het EK. Ook in deze aflevering ‘De Amerikanen hebben een nieuwe regio ontdekt in Engeland en daar kunnen ze geen genoeg van krijgen: De Cotswolds. Sinds de Amerikaanse t.v. personality Ellen Degeneres vanwege de herverkiezing vanTrump naar de regio in zuid-west Engeland emigreerde, volgden steeds meer landgenoten haar voorbeeld. Waar Degeneres vast geen rekening mee heeft gehouden is dat de Amerikaanse vice president JD Vance de Cotswolds heeft uitgekozen om met zijn gezin de zomer door te brengen. Degeneres zal daar vast niet heel blij mee zijn, maar wat vinden de locals van deze Amerikaanse invasie? 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.

The UK's high speed railway has been plagued with cost blowouts, delays and scale-backs - so Ed Balls and George Osborne consider: has it all just been a big waste of money? Couldn't those funds have been put to better use? Perhaps for the NHS, for example?The pair also consider the concept of age limits on voting. We've got a minimum age - recently lowered by Labour to 16 years old - so why not a maximum too? A listener asks: was it fair for those over 70 to have a say in the Brexit referendum, for example, while many people who were set to inherit a departure from Europe were at the time too young to make their voice heard?Plus - heckling moments of brutality and brilliance. A listener recalls a well-timed response to Jeremy Corbyn in the House of Commons - and asks Ed and George to reflect on memorable moments of perfect comedic timing at their own, or other politicians' expense.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:
"The Netherlands regularly punched above its weight," says an expert report for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "The Netherlands reacted in a very agile way to Brexit. We were like-minded with the UK on certain files. And we had to find new partners in the EU." says one of the authors of the study and EU influence expert Mendeltje van Keulen. According to her, Czechia could be even stronger in Brussels if it formed more coalitions of countries with similar positions.
Nizozemsku se v posledních letech dařilo dění v Evropské unii ovlivňovat výrazněji, než by odpovídalo jeho velikosti. Přišla na to odborná studie. „Nizozemsko velmi pružně zareagovalo na Brexit. S Británií jsme měli často shodné postoje. Potřebovali jsme proto v EU hledat nové partnery,“ říká jedna z autorek studie a expertka na vliv v EU Mendeltje van Keulenová. Česko by podle ní mohlo být v Bruselu ještě silnější, kdyby vytvářelo koalice zemí s podobnými postoji.

Ein englischer Landregen in Nordrhein-Westfalen? Nicht ganz – aber ein Hauch von Großbritannien liegt in der Luft, wenn man die Seiten eines ganz besonderen Katalogs durchblättert. Tweedjacken, Shortbread, Teekannen, Orangenmarmelade mit Whisky: Was als verrückte Idee begann, ist heute ein etabliertes Markenzeichen britischer Lebensart mitten in Deutschland. — In dieser besonderen Doppelfolge von BRITPOD wirft Alexander-Klaus Stecher einen exklusiven Blick hinter die Kulissen von The British Shop – dem wohl charmantesten Ort Deutschlands für britischen Lifestyle, feine Spezialitäten und echte englische Lebensart. In Teil 1 geht es um die Wurzeln des Unternehmens: Firmengründer Wolf Siebel erzählt, wie er seine private Leidenschaft für Großbritannien in ein florierendes Familienunternehmen verwandelte. Sein Sohn Robert, der das Unternehmen heute führt, spricht über die Verbindung zwischen britischer Eleganz und deutscher Präzision – und darüber, wie ein gedruckter Katalog zum Kultobjekt wurde, das mehr transportiert als Produkte: Haltung, Werte, Lebensgefühl. Die Episode erzählt von den Anfängen in den 1980er-Jahren, vom Mut zum Nischenmarkt, von Herausforderungen wie dem Brexit, von Kooperationen mit Traditionsmarken wie Harris Tweed und von der besonderen Beziehung zwischen Vater und Sohn, Unternehmern und Anglophilen, die The British Shop bis heute prägen. — Neugierig geworden?

fWotD Episode 3004: Liz Truss Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 26 July 2025, is Liz Truss.Mary Elizabeth Truss (born 26 July 1975) is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from September to October 2022. On her fiftieth day in office, she stepped down amid a government crisis, making her the shortest-serving prime minister in British history. The member of Parliament (MP) for South West Norfolk from 2010 to 2024, Truss held various Cabinet positions under three prime ministers—David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson—lastly as foreign secretary from 2021 to 2022.Truss studied philosophy, politics and economics at Merton College, Oxford, and was the president of the Oxford University Liberal Democrats. In 1996, she joined the Conservative Party. She worked at Royal Dutch Shell and Cable & Wireless, and was the deputy director of the think tank Reform. After two unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the House of Commons, she became the MP for South West Norfolk at the 2010 general election. As a backbencher she called for reform in several policy areas including the economy, childcare and mathematics in education. Truss co-founded the Free Enterprise Group of Conservative MPs and wrote or co-wrote a number of papers and books, including After the Coalition and Britannia Unchained.Truss was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Childcare and Education from 2012 to 2014 before Cameron appointed her Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in a cabinet reshuffle. Although she campaigned for Britain to remain in the European Union, Truss supported Brexit following the outcome of the 2016 referendum. Following Cameron's resignation in 2016 his successor, Theresa May, appointed her Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, making Truss the first woman to serve as Lord Chancellor in the office's thousand-year history; in the aftermath of the 2017 general election she was demoted to Chief Secretary to the Treasury. After May announced her resignation in May 2019 Truss supported Johnson's successful bid to become Conservative leader and prime minister. He appointed Truss Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade in July and subsequently to the additional role of Minister for Women and Equalities in September. Johnson promoted Truss to foreign secretary in the 2021 cabinet reshuffle; during her time in the position, she led negotiations on the Northern Ireland Protocol and the British response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.In September 2022, Truss defeated Rishi Sunak in a leadership election to succeed Johnson, who had resigned because of an earlier government crisis, and was appointed prime minister by Queen Elizabeth II two days before the monarch's death; the government's business was subsequently suspended during a national mourning period of ten days. In response to the rising cost of living and increased energy prices, Truss's ministry announced the Energy Price Guarantee. The government then announced large-scale tax cuts and borrowing, which led to financial instability and were largely reversed. Facing mounting criticism and loss of confidence in her leadership, Truss announced her resignation as leader of the Conservative Party on 20 October. Sunak was elected unopposed as her successor, and appointed prime minister on 25 October. After spending the duration of Sunak's premiership on the backbenches, Truss lost her seat at the 2024 general election.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Saturday, 26 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Liz Truss on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.
Has our perception of what it is to be patriotic been skewed by the likes of angry protesters parading outside a refugee hotel in Essex? And can the idea of patriotism ever be reclaimed from furious far-right groups like Britain First? Plus, what's the latest on the Brexit reset with the EU? Director of UK in a Changing Europe Anand Menon joins the panel to discuss. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, we're wondering if we'll EVER be able to retire.

Michael Gove, now Lord Gove of Torry in the City of Aberdeen, was a cabinet minister under David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak. He ran to be leader of the Conservatives twice, famously killed off Boris Johnson's first tilt at the top job but backed him on Brexit, spectacularly falling out with David Cameron in the process in a drama portrayed in sometimes excruciating detail in a book by his ex-wife Sarah Vine. He has now gone back to his first trade of journalism as editor of the Spectator magazine.
In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, former Anglotopia Columnist Mike Harling shares his journey as an American expat living in Britain for over 20 years. He discusses the challenges and joys of adapting to British life, from cultural quirks to the impact of Brexit and COVID. Mike reflects on his writing career, including his Talisman series for his grandsons, and offers insights into the differences between American and British work cultures. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing cultural differences while encouraging Americans to explore the world beyond their borders. Stay tuned after the show for a special message announcing that Mike has decided to write for Anglotopia again! Links Postcards from Across the Pond Blog Postcards from Across the Pond Books Talisman Series Books Lindenwald Press Dispatches from the South Column Archive Letter to America (Mike's NEW Column on Anglotopia) Takeaways Mike Harling is an American moved to England unexpectedly through a romantic connection. He has lived in Horsham for over 20 years and loves the town. Cultural integration has been a gradual process for Mike. He still struggles with some British customs, like military time. Mike enjoys the work-life balance in Britain compared to the US. He has written several books, including a series for his grandsons. The Talisman series combines history with adventure for young readers. Researching historical events can be challenging for writers. Mike believes that living abroad has broadened his perspective. He encourages Americans to travel and experience other cultures. Soundbites 1. The Crazy Love Story "I heard myself asking her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. And she gave me her ring. I gave her mine and we promised to be a couple. And she went off on a plane, and I got in my car and banged my head on the steering wheel and said, 'You moron, you've just ruined your life.'" 2. The Five-Day Engagement "I imagine my wife didn't really know I swore either, because I only knew her for five days before we got engaged. And I looked at that and she looked at that and we thought, wow, we were insane to do that." 3. The Moment He Knew "And then he turns down this little narrow thing that I know they call it twitten. And I'm like, what's this? And he goes, oh, it's a pedestrian path. And that's where I said, I have to move here. This is a lovely place. Be nice if that girl I met works out. But I got to move here." 4. Still Struggling After 20 Years "Still the eggs and the military time. I still can't get my head around. I look at this, 1400, what's that? It'd be six o'clock. No, it's two o'clock. Okay, I answered. And the eggs, still I make a lot of scrambled eggs because you hit the egg and it doesn't work and you hit it again." 5. The Accidental Anglophile "I had no intention of ever leaving the States. I wasn't an Anglophile. I wasn't. I was happy where I was and I just wound up living here and I have to tell you it's pretty darn nice." 6. Professional Expat No More "I gave up being a professional expat, you know. I don't really see anything different here anymore that would be of entertainment or even of any use. I've basically gone native. I'm just living here and enjoying my life." 7. The Insane Advice "If a friend of mine or a family member came to me and said, I just met a girl. I've known her five days. I'm going to go to Brazil and marry her. I would duct tape him to a chair and waterboard him until he decided not to do it." 8. No Safety Net "I didn't even leave myself like a parachute, you know. I quit my job. I sold my car, gave up my flat. I mean, I had nothing. I left America as a homeless person and came over here." 9. Accent Blindness "I live here and I don't pick up if someone's got an American accent. And I also don't pick up if anyone's got a British accent. A British person, American person can come in the room and talk to me. I won't have any clue that either one is American or British." 10. The Perfect Life "The sun's shining. I went into town, walked across the park. That's how I get into town. Went to a lovely old pub, had dinner with a friend of mine, walked back across the park and now I'm here. It's just an amazing life. After 22 years, I still have to pinch myself occasionally."

In deze aflevering trappen we af met een onderwerp dat wat de Britse media betreft de afgelopen dagen de boventoon voerde: de superinjunction. Een wettelijke maatregel die niet vaak wordt ingezet, en zich het best laat vertalen als ‘superzwijgplicht’. Tot grote woede van de Britse media bleek dat het Ministerie van Defensie bijna twee jaar de superinjunction heeft ingezet gebruikt te hebben om een politieke misser te verdoezelen’. Superinjunction laat zich volgens hen ook wel vertalen als 'supercensuur'. Het ministerie wilde de misser -waarbij ze dachten dat de gevolgen voor ruim 16000 Afghanen heel groot was- perse geheim houden. Maar waarom is dat ‘superverbod’ nu dan opgeheven? Ook in deze aflevering - Binnen het Verenigd Koninkrijk blijft Keir Starmer een pijnpunt, maar met zijn buitenlandse diplomatie boekt de Britse premier succes na succes. Twee weken geleden ontving hij president Macron voor een staatsbezoek aan Engeland, vorige week kwam de Duitse bondskanselier Merz langs voor een werkbezoek. Wat leverde de twee bezoek de Britten op, welke gespreksonderwerpen stonden bovenaan de agenda? - Waar de gemiddelde zestienjarige zich anno nu vooral bezighoudt met gamen, school, tiktok en snapchat, krijgen de Britse pubers die over vier jaar zestien worden er een kopzorg bij: politiek. De Britse regering gaat het stemrecht verlagen naar 16 jaar, wat betekent dat alle twaalfjarige scholieren van nu bij de volgende landsverkiezingen naar de stembus mogen. Hoe kijken de Britten naar dit besluit? 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.

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean is joined by property investor Hamish Douglas. Hamish shares his how he became an accidental landlord who went on to build a nine-property portfolio that includes buy to let and rent to service accommodations. He discusses challenges like Brexit's impact on his investments and how he overcame them through education and networking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investment started when Hamish bought a flat to live in, then rented it out after moving abroad. This showed him property could generate income. Property provided a foundation for financial growth for Hamish, offering stability and profit. Mentors and networking with successful property investors is essential for growth. Education and building a network builds confidence and helps you learn from others mistakes. Hamish's portfolio includes multiple buy to let properties and rent to service accommodations, showing a strategic approach to diversifying income streams. BEST MOMENTS "I was having this incredible life, but I wasn't sharing it with people. So I needed to build it in a way that gave me the ability to still have those personal relationships." "I always thought of it as flipping only rather than buy, rent, refurbish and refinance. The idea of it has developed more. You can pull out a large portion of your money, even if it's not everything." "With property, every one you take on becomes a secure foundation that you can then move forward from. You're not going to move backwards." "The earlier you get educated, the earlier you get a support, the earlier you get a network. There's no other way other than to succeed."

La défense sera en tête des priorités du budget de l'Union européenne pour la période 2028-2034, la Commission l'a redit lors de la présentation hier (16 juillet 2025) des grandes lignes budgétaires. Mais Bruxelles prépare également un bouclier démocratique dont l'un des objectifs sera la lutte contre les ingérences et la désinformation. Hackaton Créer une application pour déjouer la désinformation, le tout en une journée, c'est le défi lancé aux participants du hackathon qui était organisé au Conseil de l'Europe à Strasbourg fin juin 2025. Une quarantaine de jeunes venus des quatre coins de l'Europe ont relevé le défi, encadrés par une équipe d'experts juridiques. Wyloën Munhoz-Boillot a suivi la compétition. La Finlande est le pays classé leader mondial de l'éducation aux médias. Dès leur plus jeune âge, les élèves y apprennent à discerner les informations fiables des informations erronées ou mensongères. Les explications de notre correspondante régionale Ottilia Ferey. La revue de presse sonore de Franceline Beretti : les émeutes contre les immigrés en Espagne, la crise de la coalition allemande, les divisions communautaires en Belgique, une scène cocasse au Parlement italien. À Gibraltar, la frontière disparaît Il a fallu 4 ans après le Brexit pour résoudre l'épineuse question du sort de Gibraltar. Le Rocher va disposer d'un nouveau statut juridique : l'accord historique approuvé le 12 juin, par le Royaume-Uni, l'Espagne et l'Union européenne, supprime la frontière entre l'enclave britannique et l'Andalousie, pour faire place à la libre circulation des personnes et des biens. De part et d'autre du grillage qui sépare encore les habitants, le changement est attendu avec des sentiments mitigés, mais aussi beaucoup d'enthousiasme, comme l'a constaté Diane Cambon. De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, les anciennes colonies de l'empire britannique cherchent à resserrer les liens avec leurs descendants. 1.100.000 habitants du Royaume-Uni ont déclaré lors du recensement de 2021 avoir des origines caribéennes. L'émigration des Caraïbes s'est faite principalement après-guerre et chez les plus jeunes les relations avec le pays d'origine sont rares. Alors pour renforcer les liens, en Barbade un programme privé cherche à susciter des vocations. Les explications de Marie Billon à Londres.

It can now be revealed that a Ministry of Defence data leak has cost the UK some £7 billion and put thousands of Afghans at risk of death. A dataset containing the details of nearly 19,000 people who applied to move to the UK following the Taliban takeover was released in error by a British defence official in February 2022. Ministers were informed of the debacle in August 2023; since then, an unprecedented super-injunction has been in place to stop the press from reporting details. What does this mean for successive governments?Also on the podcast, Donald Trump gave a surprise interview to the BBC overnight in which he changed his position on Nato and on Ukraine – this comes after the President threw the full weight of America's military supplies behind Ukraine and warned Putin of 100 per cent tariffs if he doesn't end the war in 50 days. What he hasn't changed his tune on is Keir Starmer, whom he gushed is a ‘liberal' doing his best to navigate a ‘sloppy' Brexit.

Emmanuel Macron made his state visit to the UK this week – the first EU leader to do so since Brexit. It heralded a reset between France and Britain, dubbed the ‘entente amicale' by King Charles. Macron and Starmer announced a joint crackdown on migration with a ‘one-in one-out policy' for asylum seekers and closer cooperation on defence. But it wasn't all hard talk, with much of the limelight focused on a soft-power push: the announcement that the Bayeux Tapestry will be returning to the UK for the first time in more than 900 years. Host George Parker is joined by Stephen Bush, Anna Gross and the FT's Europe editor Ben Hall to discuss what this ‘entente amicable' might mean for the UK.Follow George on Bluesky or X: @georgewparker.bsky.social, @GeorgeWParker; Stephen @stephenkb.bsky.social, @stephenkb; Anna @annasophiegross.bsky.social What did you think of this episode?

It's been a grim, record-breaking week for Ukraine, with Russia unleashing an unprecedented wave of missiles and drones, including decoys to overwhelm air defences. Amid the chaos, Trump seemed equally thrown—confused by Putin, then reversing course to reinstate military aid to Kyiv after pausing it just last week. Washington is now dangling sanctions as the carrot turns to stick in ceasefire efforts. Meanwhile, it's been pageantry over politics as the Macrons embarked on a three-day state visit to the UK. Kicking off with cocktails at Windsor Castle—“The Entente”, a symbolic mix of British gin and French pastis—the visit marked a reset in post-Brexit ties. There were toasts with the King and Keir, a nuclear cooperation deal, and a plan to stop migrant crossings. Macron couldn't resist a little “I told you so” on Brexit. And in tech: Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok sparked outrage after it began imitating Hitler and promoting anti-Semitic views. Just days after Musk hailed its progress, Grok called itself “MechaHitler.” Musk blamed manipulation and removed the posts. The fallout continued with the sudden resignation of X CEO Linda Yaccarino—met with a cold, two-line farewell.
C dans l'air du 10 juillet 2025 : Nucléaire, immigration : l'axe Paris-LondresAlors que les attaques russes redoublent d'intensité en Ukraine et que le continent s'est lancé dans une course à l'armement, Paris et Londres ont annoncé être prêts à "coordonner" leurs dissuasions nucléaires pour protéger l'Europe de toute "menace extrême". Un "groupe de supervision nucléaire", coprésidé par l'Élysée et le Cabinet Office britannique, va être créé. Cette évolution majeure de leur doctrine a été officialisée par Emmanuel Macron et Keir Starmer, alors que le président de la République effectue une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni depuis plusieurs jours.Depuis plusieurs semaines, les deux dirigeants avaient promis de muscler la défense européenne face au désengagement des États-Unis. C'est chose faite. Mais qu'est-ce que cela signifie concrètement ? S'agit-il d'un tournant historique en matière de dissuasion nucléaire ? Le rapprochement franco-britannique signe-t-il le retour de "l'Entente cordiale" ?Invité par le roi Charles III, Emmanuel Macron est le premier chef d'État de l'Union européenne à se rendre outre-Manche depuis le Brexit, et le premier président français à effectuer une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni depuis Nicolas Sarkozy en 2008. Entre procession en calèche et dîner royal à Windsor, le couple présidentiel ont eu droit à tous les honneurs du protocole royal. Emmanuel Macron s'est également adressé au Parlement britannique, a coprésidé une réunion de la "coalition des volontaires" avec Keir Starmer, et a participé à un sommet qualifié par certains de… réconciliation.Au-delà de la défense, Londres et Paris s'apprêtent à annoncer de nouvelles mesures pour lutter contre l'immigration clandestine dans la Manche, un dossier qui empoisonne les relations bilatérales depuis plusieurs années.Autre point de friction : Donald Trump. Le président américain, revenu sur le devant de la scène, menace d'imposer de nouveaux droits de douane. Une inquiétude partagée des deux côtés de la Manche. Tandis que Keir Starmer s'est dit prêt à satisfaire les exigences de Washington pour conclure rapidement un accord, Paris et Bruxelles ont jusqu'au 1er août 2025 pour tenter, à leur tour, de négocier un compromis.LES EXPERTS :- ANTHONY BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- JOSEPHINE STARON - Directrice des études et des relations internationales – Synopia- CATHERINE NORRIS TRENT - Grand reporter -France 24- PATRICK DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien pilote de chassePRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM :https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/
JonGaunt #UKImmigrationCrisis #MigrantCrisisUK #Starmer #Macron #NigelFarage Keir Starmer has signed a surrender deal with France and President Macron. This "one in, one out" migrant deal will do nothing to stop illegal crossings of the Channel by small boats. The UK is in a border crisis. We don't need weak deals—we need to declare a national emergency, close our borders, and take serious action. As Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, demands—put the troops on the beaches of Dover, deploy the Navy in the Channel, and stop the migrant taxi service! We need tough deterrents like Rwanda deportations. End the UK's image as a “migrant El Dorado” by closing the migrant hotels, speeding up deportations, and leaving the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) immediately. It's time to act like a sovereign nation again. Do you agree with Jon Gaunt?
