Podcast appearances and mentions of David Cameron

Steve Hilton has lived many lives: a key strategist to former British Prime Minister David Cameron, a populist Fox News host, and — after renouncing his UK citizenship — the Republican nominee in California's gubernatorial race. Max and Ben ask him about a career that has intertwined politics and media at every turn, why he succeeded in a primary where Spencer Pratt failed, and how he balances conservative media's portrayal of California with a campaign to lead the state. They also discuss whether David Ellison's Paramount would really flee Hollywood, what people get wrong about the Murdochs, and what he really thinks about the character he inspired on The Thick of It.

Andy Burnham will soon be making his first speech from Downing Street as prime minister - how will he introduce himself to the nation?The team discuss striking the right balance between optimism and acknowledging the scale of the challenge, and look back at their role in preparing speeches for Tony Blair, David Cameron and Nick Clegg. And, does the choice of lectern actually matter?We also answer a question from a listener who asks whether Nigel Farage could lose the Clacton by-election.Send your questions, comments and voicenotes to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

As Keir Starmer prepares to step out of Number 10 for the final time, The Rundown looks at what life is like behind that famous black door after a Prime Minister announces they are stepping down, and what goes on in those few weeks before they exit Downing Street for good.Is everyone in the building demob happy, can anything still get done as the civil service waits for the next PM to arrive, how much focus is on crafting the last piece of a legacy, and how much is on preparing the ground for their replacement, and the temptation to chuck a few hospital passes for their successor.So to discuss the strange nature of that interregnum period that has become all too common in recent years, host Alain Tolhurst is joined by three people who served at the side of departing prime ministers: firstly with Baroness Kate Fall, who was David Cameron's deputy chief of staff for a decade, along with Paul Harrison, who was Downing Street Press Secretary for two years under Theresa May, and then later in the episode Guto Harri, Number 10's director of communications for Boris Johnson in the months before he left office.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

“I'm a proud American. I became a citizen in 2021. I feel at home here both in America and actually, in a way I actually have never felt before. I feel like this is where I'm meant to be, and I couldn't be more honoured that people now are putting their faith in me to turn the state around.”Nick Robinson speaks to Steve Hilton, the British-born Republican candidate for governor of California in November's US midterm elections.Once a senior adviser to former UK prime minister David Cameron, Hilton left British politics to build a new life in America. Now endorsed by President Donald Trump, he explains why he believes the Republican Party best represents what he calls “positive populism”.Hilton reflects on his upbringing as the son of Hungarian refugees, the opportunities he says transformed his life, and why he feels a stronger sense of belonging in America than he ever did in Britain.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

With the tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum upon us, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC begin the episode with a reminder of actor Danny Dyer's memorable thoughts on “this whole Brexit thing” and his unflattering assessment of David Cameron's role in enabling our departure from the EU, before they reflect on what the impact of Brexit has been on the UK legal system. Ken and Tim then discuss how the interregnum between Keir Starmer's resignation and the imminent arrival of Andy Burnham as Prime Minister has brought uncertainty in relation to who Burnham will appoint as the new Justice Secretary and Attorney General on the basis that neither David Lammy nor Richard Hermer seem likely to remain in their current jobs. What, if any, impact will a Burnham premiership have on the future of Labour's jury trial reforms in the Courts and Tribunals Bill given Burnham's publicly expressed concern that the government “should proceed with huge caution and do not take away something that's a lynchpin of a fair society.”   The duo comment on the arguments advanced by Palestine Action in support of their unsuccessful application to the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision to uphold the Home Secretary's proscription decision and anticipate the likely response from the Supreme Court itself.   Finally, they discuss the merits of the Law Commission's consultation paper on reforming the law of homicide (https://lawcom.gov.uk/news/law-commission-proposes-major-overhaul-of-homicide-offences/) and look forward to next week's episode where their guest will be the Interim Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, Dame Vera Baird KC. Listeners interested in some homework in advance of the discussion with Dame Vera might wish to listen to the February 2025 episode of Double Jeopardy with guest Chris Henley KC where they discuss the shocking failures by the CCRC in relation to the Andrew Malkinson case - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0jrqjoXcIduyM1weZpFyP2?si=jBMeN3uzQruBF7rVhW4m9Q   --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.    ​ What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?  Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.   ​ Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.  Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003 2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law. ​ ​ Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.  Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape. ​ ​ If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today in Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

Ten years after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, Brexit supporters still see this as a historic act of sovereignty, while critics point to the resulting economic damage and political division.  This week RFI examines the legacy of the 2016 Brexit referendum through the sharply contrasting views of three analysts: Federico Fabbrini of the Brexit Institute in Dublin, Robert Oulds of the London-based pro-Brexit Bruges Group, and John Barry of Queen's University Belfast. Their assessment reveals a country still deeply divided over what Brexit has achieved, what it has cost and what it means for the UK's future relationship with Europe. For Brexit supporters, the desired "control" has been achieved. For its opponents, the economic consequences and divided political landscape loom ever larger.  Between those positions lies a complex reality shaped by trade, immigration, Northern Ireland and the much vaunted idea of “Global Britain”.

As the country hurtles towards appointing its seventh PM in a decade, this week The Rundown asks has the UK become ungovernable? And if so, why? And what can be done, if anything can be, to stop the rot and get back to a period of relative stability in our national politics.Joining host Alain Tolhurst in looking at where Keir Starmer failed, as Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron did before him, and whether Andy Burnham will end up going the same way, is Caroline Slocock, former Private Secretary to two Prime Ministers and a longtime senior civil servant, who has a new book out entitled ‘Bad Government', going behind the famous black door of Number 10 to reveal why the ship of state is so hard to steer, and exploring why successive leaders have failed in their promises to reset government and rebuild trust.Alongside them are Joe Hill, director of strategy at the think tank Re:State, as well as Hannah Keenan, associate director at the Institute for Government.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced and edited by Ewan Cameron and Lulu Goad for Podot

El Reino Unido va a contar ya siete primeros ministros en 10 años. Los mismos desde que votó por salir de la Unión Europea en el referéndum del Brexit, que esta semana cumple diez años. Desde el propio David Cameron, del partido conservador, que convocó el referéndum y dimitió unas semanas después de perderlo, hasta Keir Starmer, laborista que arrasó en las urnas en 2024, ninguno de los siete primeros ministros ha conseguido terminar su mandato. El nuevo nombre que tenemos que aprender es el de Andy Burnham, sucesor de Starmer, el último primer ministro cuya carne ha quedado triturada en la máquina destructiva más potente de nuestro tiempo: la política británica. Con María Ramírez, corresponsal Internacional de elDiario.es, repasamos las claves de la última sucesión en el poder en un país empobrecido y en crisis política permanente tras su salida de la Unión Europea. *** Fe de erratas: En una versión anterior de este episodio se afirmaba por error que 6 de cada 4 británicos estan a favor de regresar a la Unión Europea. El dato correcto y corregido ya en esta versión del episodio es que 6 de cada 10 británicos están a favor de volver a la Unión Europea. *** El PP de Madrid intenta cancelar el festival de elDiario.es *** Envíanos una nota de voz por Whatsapp contándonos alguna historia que conozcas o algún sonido que tengas cerca y que te llame la atención.

This might be the most important conversation we've had on this podcast. There's a science of how human beings actually learn – and much of what happens in schools runs against the grain of it. In this episode, James is joined by affective neuroscience specialist Mike Goves and returning guest Kate McAllister, founder of the Hive in the Dominican Republic, to make that case from two directions at once: the research that explains it, and a school already living it. The core idea is deceptively simple: we learn what we care about, not what we're told. Mike makes the scientific case that affect – the felt sense of how good or bad something is – is biologically primary to all learning and memory. Kate offers the living proof: an environment she built, long before she had the vocabulary for it, around children's genuine curiosity and a daily practice of checking in on how they feel. When the science and the lived practice line up this precisely, it's hard to look at a normal classroom the same way again. Along the way we get into: - Why memory prioritises emotional salience over semantic accuracy – and why we reconstruct memories rather than retrieve them - The 'seesaw' model of attention: task focus (the executive control network) at one end, reflection and daydreaming (the default mode network) at the other, with the salience network as the pivot - The research suggesting that keeping young people permanently in task-focus mode may inhibit their development – linked to brain growth, wellbeing and life satisfaction well into their twenties - How narratives bind learning into identity, and why 'a person, a place, a problem' makes kids care about electrolysis - What this looks like in practice, from the freedom of the Hive to the real constraints of a 2,000-pupil urban secondary - A rich, wide-ranging conversation about emotion, meaning and what education could be if we took the biology seriously. Guests Mike Goves – psychology and neuroscience graduate turned teacher and school leader, now working at a multi-academy trust in Oxfordshire, with a growing focus on affect and affective neuroscience. He runs the Affective Learning Lab and has authored a white paper, The affective foundations of human learning, on the science discussed in this episode. Kate McAllister – founder of the Hive in the Dominican Republic and a long-time intuitive practitioner of affect-led, unschooling-inspired education. She returns to the podcast around five years after her first appearance.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast ahead of the US Darts Masters.   The boys kick off the show with a look back at the last week of action on the ProTour and, after winning his seventh and eighth titles in Players Championship 21 and the Slovak Darts Open, will Wessel Nijman become a major champion this season, before giving their thoughts on Players Championship 22 winner Rob Cross, who also made the final in Bratislava at the weekend.   Fred Krueger (18:31) joins the show ahead of making his TV debut in the US Darts Masters later this week. The American looks back on his time in the sport so far, from playing against the PDC professionals around 25 years ago when they played tournaments in North America, taking a long break from the game, and then his son inspiring him to pick up the darts again last year, winning his CDC tour card at Q-School at the start of this year, qualifying for the US Darts Masters and what it means to be playing at Madison Square Garden and on the big stage for the first time.   The boys continue to recap the last week in darts and turn their attention to the PDC Women's Series, with the eight-player line up for this year's Women's World Matchplay now confirmed.   Brayden Hall (51:18) calls in ahead of making his debut in the US Darts Masters this week. The Canadian talks through his career so far, from playing in the PDC World Youth Championship in 2023, coming through the youth ranks back home, winning his CDC tour card for the first time this year, making a final on his first CDC weekend and beating the likes of Stowe Buntz and David Cameron on the way, qualifying for this week's World Series event in New York and how his PDC big-stage debut will form the final few days of a busy stretch of tournaments which also includes competing in the nationals.   Alex and Burton wrap up the show with a look ahead to the North American Darts Championship and predict who will lift the title at Madison Square Garden. *** Get your own Alex Moss replica shirt (as worn by our co-host at the Las Vegas Open 2026) from DJD here!

Mardi 23 juin marquera les 10 ans du Brexit, alors que le pays traverse une période de profond désenchantement politique. Entre répression des libertés publiques, défiance envers les institutions, montée de l'extrême droite, le Royaume-Uni serait-il devenu une société libérale en péril ? C'est la question que pose Aurélien Antoine, professeur des universités et spécialiste du droit des institutions britanniques, dans son nouveau livre Le Royaume-Uni, une société libérale en péril (éditions Odile Jacob), paru le 27 mai. RFI : Dans votre livre, vous parlez d'une société libérale « en péril ». Qu'est-ce qui vous semble aujourd'hui le plus menacé au Royaume-Uni : l'État de droit, les contre-pouvoirs, les libertés publiques ? Aurélien Antoine : Je commencerais plutôt par les libertés fondamentales. Certaines d'entre elles sont aujourd'hui particulièrement menacées au Royaume-Uni. Elles le sont d'abord par des mouvements d'extrême droite assez puissants, mais aussi par les partis de gouvernement. Les conservateurs ont porté des atteintes importantes aux libertés collectives, notamment à la liberté de manifestation, mais les travaillistes aussi, dans certains domaines. L'exemple le plus frappant, c'est la profonde défiance à l'égard de l'Europe des droits humains, c'est-à-dire la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme. Elle semble aujourd'hui faire presque l'unanimité contre elle, quelle que soit l'appartenance politique. Pourquoi cette défiance à l'égard de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme ? Elle a des racines anciennes. Le Parti conservateur, avant même de s'en prendre à l'Union européenne, était déjà assez hostile au système européen de protection des droits humains. Le Brexit a un peu occulté cet aspect. Une fois le Brexit réalisé, les conservateurs, encore au pouvoir, se sont de nouveau attaqués très fortement à la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme et à la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme, accusée d'avoir une jurisprudence trop favorable aux migrants illégaux ou aux délinquants. C'est une caricature : l'analyse des décisions de la Cour ne va pas dans ce sens. Mais avec la progression de l'extrême droite, dont le parti Reform UK autour de Nigel Farage, ces thématiques sont devenues centrales dans le débat public. Les travaillistes se lancent eux aussi dans une forme de « course à l'échalote » sur cette question, en remettant en cause l'influence prêtée à la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme. Le 23 juin marquera les 10 ans du vote du Brexit. Quel bilan dressez-vous de ce séisme politique et sociétal ? Le bilan est incontestablement mauvais. Il est mauvais d'un point de vue économique : les chiffres des différents organismes et institutions britanniques le montrent. D'un point de vue sociétal, le Brexit n'a fait qu'approfondir des fractures profondes, sociales et territoriales : entre le sud et le nord de l'Angleterre, mais aussi avec l'Écosse, le pays de Galles et l'Irlande du Nord. Ces fractures existaient avant, mais elles se sont accélérées avec le Brexit. Celui-ci marque aussi une vraie rupture politique, avec une radicalisation des camps. On l'a vu du côté du Parti conservateur, qui n'en sort pas vainqueur aujourd'hui : il est morcelé et poursuit l'agenda de Reform UK, au point que certains parlent d'une substitution de Reform UK au Parti conservateur. Le Parti travailliste n'est pas forcément en meilleure posture. Il connaît aussi de fortes contestations internes et a très mal négocié la période du Brexit. Il faut se souvenir de l'époque de Jeremy Corbyn (ancien chef des travaillistes, NDLR), qui ne suscitait pas l'adhésion de l'ensemble du parti. Aujourd'hui, les partis classiques sont fragmentés, tandis que d'autres formations prétendent changer la vie politique en apportant des solutions simples, souvent simplistes, à des problèmes anciens, mais accélérés par le Brexit. Le Brexit a-t-il révélé des fragilités anciennes du système britannique, ou en a-t-il créé de nouvelles ? Il a confirmé des fragilités anciennes, notamment les inégalités. Il a accéléré la pauvreté dans certaines zones géographiques et chez certaines catégories sociales. Mais le Brexit n'est pas le seul responsable. Il y a eu la pandémie de Covid-19, la guerre en Ukraine, les conflits au Moyen-Orient, et les effets délétères de la politique internationale des États-Unis de Donald Trump. Le Brexit est un élément parmi d'autres, sans doute le premier, qui opère ce changement majeur et accélère les divisions. Ce qui est nouveau, c'est une forme de radicalisation de la vie politique britannique. Lors des élections générales de 2024, cinq députés d'extrême droite sont entrés à Westminster. Cela peut paraître peu, mais c'est inédit. Reform UK est aussi entré au Parlement d'Édimbourg après les élections locales, ce qui est inédit, et il devient une force incontournable au sein du Parlement gallois. Vous insistez sur le fait que ce n'est pas le régime politique qui est contesté par la population, mais plutôt l'élite gouvernante. Qu'est-ce qui a le plus abîmé la confiance des Britanniques envers leurs dirigeants ? Ce manque de confiance est assez ancien. Pour une échéance proche, il faut revenir aux années 2000. Le Premier ministre Tony Blair, au moment de sa démission (en juin 2007, NDLR), a beaucoup pâti d'affaires qui le concernaient, mais aussi des mensonges liés à la guerre en Irak. Ce fut une grande rupture. Ensuite, les crises se sont succédées. Dans des économies et des politiques mondialisées, les États subissent de plein fouet les crises mondiales. La crise des subprimes en 2008, dont on ne parle plus assez, a été déterminante dans l'aggravation de la situation économique, sociale et politique britannique. Elle a conduit à un tournant de rigueur très fort avec l'arrivée de David Cameron au pouvoir. Les conséquences de cette politique ont été telles que les inégalités se sont considérablement accélérées. Pour tenter de sauver la mise, David Cameron a promis un référendum sur le Brexit afin d'attirer les voix du parti de Nigel Farage, qui s'appelait alors Ukip. Il y est parvenu, mais au prix d'une sortie de l'Union européenne à laquelle il était lui-même hostile. Ce que l'on constate, c'est que les institutions, pour l'instant, tiennent. C'est donc d'abord un problème de classe politique. Mais le Brexit est à la fois une rupture et une forme de solde des insuffisances passées. Vous soulignez aussi le rôle de la Chambre des lords et de la monarchie, deux institutions souvent perçues comme archaïques. En quoi ont-elles contribué à préserver l'équilibre démocratique ? Cela peut paraître paradoxal. Pour la monarchie, je donnerais un exemple très récent : le discours de Charles III au Congrès américain fin avril. C'est une vraie leçon institutionnelle et démocratique. La garantie de la survie de la monarchie au Royaume-Uni, c'est de préserver la démocratie. Cela peut sembler paradoxal, mais c'est la réalité. En période de crise, la distance et les discours apaisants viennent souvent davantage du monarque que de la classe politique. Cela a été particulièrement vrai pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, avec le discours d'Elizabeth II.  Quant à la Chambre des Lords, il faut comprendre qu'elle est aujourd'hui une assemblée d'experts. La démocratie peut dériver vers la démagogie, et il faut des gardiens contre cette démagogie. Les Lords qui travaillent réellement – les « working peers » – sont souvent au-dessus des partis. Ils produisent des analyses d'une grande qualité sur le système constitutionnel et sur les menaces que peut représenter telle ou telle volonté politique démagogique. Cette institution dispose d'une forme de distance vis-à-vis de la démagogie électoraliste. Vous terminez votre livre sur une note plus optimiste, en évoquant la possibilité d'un Royaume-Uni de l'après « révolution conservatrice ». Quelles conditions faudrait-il réunir pour permettre un renouveau politique, démocratique ou sociétal ? Il faut d'abord être convaincu que la démocratie fonctionne dans le respect des règles. Sinon, c'est la jungle. La démocratie, c'est le pluralisme, la liberté d'expression et le principe d'égalité. Le pluralisme suppose une concurrence des idées, mais ce n'est pas la loi du plus fort. Pour éviter cela, il faut des règles. La liberté d'expression, c'est la même chose : toutes les positions peuvent être exprimées, mais elles ne doivent pas conduire à la haine de l'autre ou à la volonté de l'annihiler. Quant à l'égalité, elle suppose que toutes les citoyennes et tous les citoyens soient en capacité de se forger une opinion, quelle que soit leur origine sociale ou leurs difficultés. L'État social est donc absolument indispensable à la réalisation d'une démocratie satisfaisante. La démocratie, ce n'est pas seulement le vote et la loi de la majorité. Une démocratie évoluée va bien au-delà : elle nécessite le respect des règles, l'État de droit, mais aussi un État social fort, pour garantir aux citoyens le temps et les capacités nécessaires pour se consacrer à l'intérêt collectif. On en est loin, et pas seulement au Royaume-Uni. Mon ouvrage utilise le prisme britannique, qui est l'objet de mes recherches, pour permettre au lecteur ou à la lectrice d'une société occidentale d'y voir aussi une image de sa propre société. La crise britannique est-elle comparable à celle que traversent d'autres démocraties européennes, ou y a-t-il une spécificité britannique liée à son histoire et à son système parlementaire ? Le régime britannique bénéficie d'un certain nombre de protections liées à son histoire, que d'autres démocraties n'ont pas forcément, ou ont de façon plus récente, donc moins « chevillée au corps » des citoyennes et des citoyens. Cela ne veut pas dire que le Royaume-Uni est à l'abri de forces qui voudraient instaurer un régime autoritaire. Mais on peut identifier un certain nombre de facteurs de résistance liés à sa grande tradition parlementaire et démocratique. Pour le reste, il y a évidemment beaucoup de points communs avec d'autres démocraties. Nous vivons encore dans des systèmes mondialisés. Le Royaume-Uni est à l'origine d'un système politique, le parlementarisme, qui est majoritaire en Europe. Les États-Unis se sont construits en opposition à la mère patrie britannique, mais avec un lien très fort avec elle. Le Royaume-Uni reste l'une des premières grandes démocraties européennes. Quand le Royaume-Uni va mal, cela signifie que les autres démocraties ne vont pas bien non plus. Je pense naturellement aux États-Unis, à la France, mais aussi à l'Allemagne. Ces États entretiennent des liens historiques très étroits avec le Royaume-Uni. Ils restent de très grandes démocraties où est censé régner l'État de droit, et il est donc très important d'étudier leur évolution aujourd'hui.

Why do so many politicians, business leaders and influential public figures come from boarding schools?In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with researcher, author and podcaster Dominic Waterson to explore the hidden influence of childhood experiences, elite education and institutional culture on leadership and power.Drawing on years of research for his book Traitors: The Pandemic Politicians, Dominic examines the backgrounds of figures including Boris Johnson, Tony Blair, David Cameron, Justin Welby and many others.Together we explore:• Why boarding schools appear repeatedly in the backgrounds of political leaders• The relationship between childhood trauma and leadership• How institutional cultures shape beliefs, behaviours and decision-making• Boris Johnson's early years and boarding school experience• Tony Blair, Fettes College and the influence of elite education• Why some leaders struggle with authenticity and emotional intelligence• The impact of power, privilege and social conditioning• How childhood experiences continue to influence leadership in adulthoodThis conversation is not about political parties.It is about understanding how childhood experiences, education and institutional culture can shape the people who ultimately lead nations, organisations and communities.Whether you are interested in leadership, psychology, emotional intelligence, trauma, boarding school syndrome or the structures of power, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on how leaders are formed.If you enjoy the conversation, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with someone who may find it valuable.Website:www.piers-cross.com#BoardingSchoolSyndrome #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #PoliticalLeadership #Trauma #ChildhoodTrauma #DominicWaterson #AnEvolvingManPodcast---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.

HS2 was conceived at a cost of £37.5 billion and originally supposed to link London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. It will now connect only two stations outside London and Birmingham at a projected cost of more than £100 billion, and perhaps won't even be ‘high speed'. To discuss what this failure tells us about Britain's capacity to build things and the consequences for our everyday lives, James is joined by Gillian Plimmer, the FT's infrastructure correspondent, and Matthew Lawrence, director of Common Wealth. They discuss the unique features of the UK's ‘outsourcing state', beset by bloated projects weighed down by the increasing costs of private capital, and the long, corrosive impact of the failure of David Cameron's government to invest in infrastructure when borrowing was cheap.

Zeitgeist #25 s Dominikou Perlínovou o napětí v Severním Irsku, rozpojeném království a dopadech odchodu z EU. Připravil a moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.Psal se rok 2016 a v Bílém domě končil svůj druhý mandát prezident Barack Obama, USA a Čína se přidaly k Pařížské klimatické dohodě a svět se rozšířil o novou vrstvu reality, kterou obsadily příšerky ze hry Pokémon GO, Instagram spustil stories a v Česku tehdy úřadovala vláda Bohuslava Sobotky. Na konci roku ovšem bylo jasné, že se cosi podstatného mění a v politice se i díky novým médiím a změnám  ve společnosti naplno projevily některé síly s nimiž se potýkáme dodnes. Vnímání reality se nerozšířilo zdaleka jen o roztomilá kapesní monstra.Britové si překvapivě zvolili odchod z Evropské unii a premiér David Cameron odstoupil. Prezidentské volby v Americe vyhrál Donald Trump a na Filipínách Rodrigo Duterte. Oxfordský slovník vyhlásil za slovo roku termín post-truth, tedy postpravdivý, což označuje situace, v nichž objektivní fakta mají menší vliv na utváření  veřejného mínění než apelování na emoce a osobní názory. Konkureční slovníky jako Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, Collins English Dictionary nebo Cambridge Dictionary pak k roku 2016 přiradili výrazy – sureálný, xenofobie, brexit nebo paranoidní.Velká Británie od té doby skutečně připomínala zemi trpící paranoiou, která se sama střelila do nohy. Premiéři a premiérky se střídali jako na pomyslném orloji. Pod Big Benem museli řešit výsledek referenda a vyjednávat s Bruselem komplikované odpojení od jednotného trhu, aby země získala zpět kontrolu, jak tvrdilo jedno z hesel zastánců brexitu z kampaně. Zemi stihli z EU vyvést právě včas na to, aby mohli po své ose řešit covidovou krizi, která zasadila další hluboké rány do důvěry v instituce nejen na ostrovech.Ohlížet se za brexitem lze z různých míst, ale asi nikde kolem nepanovalo takové napětí a obavy jako v případě hranice mezi Irskem a Severním Irskem. To ostatně dosvědčuje i dění z poslední doby. I tam se na své reportážní cestě po Británii vypravila Dominika Perlínová. Jak na tom je Velká Británie a politická scéna deset let po historickém referendu rozebírá v Zeitgeistu se Štěpánem Sedláčkem.K tématu doporučujeme také texty:Reportáž: Stín brexitu dál visí nad BritániíBelfast: Násilné útoky na migranty mohou znovu vyvolat temnou minulost

Everyone knows the story of the Titanic. But one quintessentially Australian story of survival, love and adventure lay dormant for more than a century before journalist and author Lisa Wilkinson raised it from the depths of the Atlantic.Everyone knows the story of the Titanic - the biggest, most magnificent, most expensive ship ever built.It was meant to be unsinkable. But when it hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic, it sank, killing 1500 people.For more than 100 years, the tragedy has inspired filmmakers, historians and explorers to unearth the incredible human stories of love, survival and class warfare.But for much of that time, there was one story that seemed to have been hidden amongst the wreckage, until journalist and author Lisa Wilkinson raised it from the bottom of the Atlantic.This is the story of Evelyn Marsden, the only Australian survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, and the real Titanic love story that shaped the rest of her life.The Titanic Story of Evelyn is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer was Eliza Kirsch.It explores history, Australian stories, Jack and Rose, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, shipwrecks, survival stories, love stories, non-fiction books, modern history, David Cameron, OceanGate, submersible, submarine disaster, Bondi, 20th century Australia, nurses, nursing, doctors, working on cruise ships, adventurous women, falling in love.

We're only a week away from the Makerfield by-election, when voters could choose the next prime minister.If Andy Burnham wins, what happens in the hours and days after he arrives in Westminster? Will he seize the moment and try to challenge Keir Starmer immediately, or wait until he has a plan for running the country?And if he wins, what does it mean for Reform UK's electoral strategy?We also look at Steve Hilton's journey from David Cameron's modernising adviser to the race to be the next governor of California.Send you messages, voicenotes and questions to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Sophie Smith-Tong joins James and David to discuss her book Teacher Autonomy: Where Has It Gone and Why We Need It Back – and the conversation is as rich, funny, and urgent as the title suggests. Sophie is a teacher of 16 years and mental health and wellbeing lead, who came to the question of autonomy through noticing the human cost of a system built on fear. In this episode, she makes the case that the loss of teacher autonomy isn't just a professional grievance – it's a structural wound that affects children's learning, teachers' wellbeing, and the long-term health of the profession. In this episode we explore: - Why only 18% of teachers strongly agree they have freedom over how they do their work – and why Sophie thinks fear is at the root of it - James Callaghan's 'secret garden' speech and the long arc of tightening control since the 1970s - The 'fidelity' culture: from scripted lessons to approved emails to clocks as cognitive overload - Why wellbeing training is a sticking plaster – and what addressing the actual disease might look like - David's 'good tired vs bad tired' distinction, and why autonomy determines which one you get - Sophie's definition of autonomy: not self-rule without support, but self-governance within a collective direction - 'Aligned autonomy', 'connected autonomy', and the difference between tight purpose and loose practice - The curriculum and assessment review: evolution when revolution was needed? - Child autonomy in early years – and why it gets educated out of children by year one - Peter Gray's five educative instincts: curiosity, playfulness, sociability, willfulness, and planfulness - Practical starting points for leaders and teachers: noticing, getting curious, making small changes -The inner work required of controlling leaders – and why self-compassion is the first step Find Sophie: teacherautonomy.com mindfulnessforlearning.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mforlearning/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-smith-tong-7b3891207/ Get the book: Teacher Autonomy: Where Has It Gone and Why We Need It Back by Sophie Smith-Tong https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1032874589 Support #repod The Rethinking Education podcast is brought to you by Crown House Publishing.

Ten years — and six prime ministers — ago Britain was on the brink of voting to leave the European Union. Host Patrick Baker was in his first job as a TV news producer during the referendum campaign. A decade on, he's gone back to the people who lived through its biggest moments to find out what was really happening behind the scenes, and how those events changed British politics forever. Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave, recounts the brutal battle with rival group Leave.EU to become the official Brexit campaign, and how his colleague Dominic Cummings used new techniques to persuade swing voters to vote for Brexit. Kate Fall, David Cameron's then deputy chief of staff, remembers sitting in the front row when Barack Obama delivered his infamous “back of the queue” warning — and provides her theory on whether Downing Street planted the phrase. Broadcaster Rachel Johnson relives the chaos of boarding a boat on the Thames with Bob Geldof to confront a flotilla of pro-Brexit fishermen, before the rockstar began lambasting Nigel Farage. And former Labour MP Gisela Stuart recalls what it was like to participate in the BBC's live TV debate at Wembley, and remembers what it was like at the Vote Leave headquarters on the morning of Brexit.

‘Brexit means Brexit’ was de leuze van premier Theresa May. Het klonk vol overtuiging en zelfs een beetje parmantig, maar ook zij ging roemloos ten onder. En nog heel wat andere Britse politici verdwenen in de mist. Als slachtoffers van het welbewuste uittreden van het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de Europese Unie. Op 23 juni is het tien jaar gelden dat het Brexit-referendum plaatsvond. 52 procent van de deelnemende Britten koos voor scheiding. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken in de vaak onbekende en soms vergeten historie van die dramatische stap en de nasleep ervan tot nu toe. Een verhaal dat nog niet af is, want steeds meer Britten vinden dat er een grote fout gemaakt is. De turbulente nasleep zit vol paradoxen. Zo gebeurde in de EU precies het omgekeerde van wat de Brexit-voorstanders luidkeels verkondigden. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** In de kern was de door David Cameron uitgeschreven volksstemming een slim geachte oplossing voor een strikt binnenlands probleem. Omdat zijn eigen Tory Party al decennia ideologisch gespleten was over de rol van de Britten in Europa - en de Labour Party niet minder - beloofde hij een 'heronderhandeling' over die rol, te bekronen met een referendum. Die heronderhandeling stelde niet veel voor en bleek grotendeels overbodig. Camerons boodschap werd daardoor: eigenlijk hebben we het in de EU best naar ons zin en de kleine, nuttige aanpassingen van bestaande afspraken, die krijgen we. Het contrast met de ideologische, apocalyptische anti-EU-betogen kon niet groter. Het werd een campagne tussen onspectaculaire, technische agendapunten en bijna panische ondergangsvisioenen, waarin Brexit als allerlaatste kans voor de identiteit en welvaart van de Britse eilanden werd afgeschilderd. Die duistere paniek mobiliseerde angstige kiezers, op de achtergrond geholpen door Trumps adviseur Steve Bannon en het Kremlin. En het werkte. De conservatieve regering zich had nauwelijks voorbereid op de impact van het referendum. Vijf premiers op rij - na Cameron en May ook Boris Johnson, Liz Truss en Rishi Sunak - worstelden met 'Brexit means Brexit'. Wat betekende dat nou echt? Definitieve uittreding - in welke vorm dan ook - werd keer op keer uitgesteld. De EU-landen, aangevoerd door onderhandelaar Michel Barnier, lieten zich geen moment uit elkaar spelen en kwamen steeds weer met heldere technische oplossingen, waar de Britse ministers van terugschrokken. Toen Brexit eind 2020 echt een feit was, zat de schrik er goed in. De concrete gevolgen raakten ongeveer elke aspect van dagelijks leven. Dromen als van een welvarend 'Global Britain', als een 'Singapore aan de Noordzee', enorme besparingen op Brusselse bureaucratiekosten en dichte grenzen bleken luchtspiegelingen. De Britten leverden vooral veel welvaart in; banen en connecties met buren die klanten waren geweest. Zo ruïneerde Brexit het vertrouwen in politiek en politici verder. Brexit-initiator Nigel Farage stookte de verdeeldheid verder op. Labour van Keir Starmer profileerde zich als competent alternatief. Maar ook hij bleek de onderliggende effecten van een exit zonder plan of duidelijk politiek doel te niet goed te kunnen aanpakken, laat staan oplossen. Politieke versplintering en destabilisatie blijft domineren. En de Europese Unie zelf? De Europeanen waren niet blij, maar niettemin vrij snel opgelucht. Zonder de Britten kon de Unie zich op allerlei terreinen stevig herinrichten. Geen enkele lidstaat zou ooit nog vrijwillig zo'n suïcidale stap zetten. Viktor Orbán frustreerde graag, maar de EU verlaten? Dat nooit. Doordat de Britten wel weer meewilden doen met populaire EU-programma's als Erasmus en Horizon en zich met defensie-inspanningen ook meer op de EU ging richten kwam er zelfs flink wat geld in het laatje. Waar men de Britten als partners kon gebruiken, waren ze welkom. Waar niet, kon men ze buiten de deur houden. Omdat Londen geweigerd had bij de Brexit met de Unie een heldere structurele relatie in te richten, zat juist 'Brussel' achter de knoppen. Michel Barnier had de Britten er al voor gewaarschuwd: "Jammer is het, we wensen jullie alle goeds op je eigen nieuwe pad. Maar ook voor ons geldt nu 'life goes on'." *** Verder kijken Brexit: A Very British Coup?

Was George Osborne about to abandon David Cameron in the 2005 Tory leadership race? That's the first question on this week's EMQs, where George recounts the mistakes made by the David Davis campaign that allowed Cameron to ascend. Ed Balls shares similar mistakes of David Miliband's 2010 campaign, and the pair offer their own advice to all backbench MPs assessing the current Labour leadership contest.Then they turn to the man who may win said contest: Andy Burnham. They ponder if Makerfield is the closest thing the UK has seen to a presidential election, with the voters knowing they may well elect our next PM.From one political giant to another they then debate why the £5M donation to Nigel Farage hasn't blown up, and how he could end up on the path of Boris Johnson should this go poorly for him.Finally, George unveils an underdiscussed power of the chancellor that could see the government expel any of their political rivals. They also get into religion and culture…We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question or send a question to our social media handles:

It's Monday, May 18th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Daughter of imprisoned Chinese pastor urges his release Before he left for the Chinese-American summit in Beijing, President Donald Trump said that he would advocate for the release of Pastor Ezra Jin of the underground Zion Church who was arrested in October 2025 during a massive Communist crackdown against the body of Christ. In a recent interview on Fox News Channel, Grace Drexel, his daughter, who emigrated to America several years ago, spoke about her father's church. DREXEL: “My father's church was one of the largest independent churches in China, and for that reason they came after my father. The charge against them was the illegal use of information networks, because he was hosting his services, both online and offline, having smaller groups meet together.” She described Pastor Jin's character. DREXEL: “My father is a pastor in China, and, like Christians everywhere, he believed that the church should only have one God and serve one God. He led his church in order to be faithful to Scripture and faithful to his beliefs. “Ultimately, I know my father as just a very gentle and kind man. He is not very confrontational.  This kind and gentle man is now in prison. They handcuffed him and shaved his hair, and is not getting his medication that he needs -- all because he was just leading a church.” Grace was counting on U.S. President Trump to negotiate her father's release from his unjust imprisonment with Chinese President Xi Jinping. DREXEL: “We hope that, as the two leaders are meeting together, that they will both have a softening of the hearts and will release my father and allow him to come to the U.S.” According to President Trump, President Jinping was “going to strongly consider the pastor,” reports The Hill.com. Grace Drexel, Pastor Jin's daughter, advocated for the release of hundreds of other pastors who have also been unfairly imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ. DREXEL: “We see that this is not an isolated case. There are so many pastors and church leaders and churches being persecuted in China actively today. In fact, we know that there are hundreds of pastors that are currently in prison, or are in detention, or have recently, very recently, been released. This is a very critical period in China, and it's very disheartening and very scary for many Christians in China.” Send a polite, 2-sentence letter urging Pastor Ezra Jin's release to Ambassador Xie Feng, Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008. Church of Scotland sees surge of converts amid “deep spiritual hunger” The Church of Scotland in the United Kingdom has seen a surge of converts since the COVID-19 pandemic amid what one clergyman called "a deep spiritual hunger,” reports The Christian Post. In 2025, 820 people in the denomination affirmed faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ, which is nearly double the 428 people who did so in 2021, according to official church figures. In a May 8th report, church leaders wrote, "We are seeing evidence of increased Bible engagement, renewed interest in spiritual questions, growing church attendance, and more young people and young adults coming to faith with confidence." Rev. David Cameron noted that 3,292 Scotts have professed faith in Christ between 2021 and 2025. He said, "I believe this growth reflects the fact that, even in uncertain times, there remains a deep spiritual hunger within our parishes." The new conversions come amid a wider decline in membership in the Church of Scotland, whose approximately 229,000 members recorded at the end of 2025 indicated a fall of 5% from 2024, primarily because of death. The Church of Scotland, which was established in the 16th century as a Reformed, Presbyterian denomination, differs from the Church of England in that it does not recognize the British monarch as its political head. Sadly, in 2016 the Scottish church rejetced clear Biblical teaching and allowed its clergy to enter into faux homosexual marriages and civil partnerships. Then, in May 2022, the Church of Scotland General Assembly voted in favor of permitting the church's clergy to conduct homosexual faux marriages, reported the BBC. Romans 1:26-27 says, “God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.” Supreme Court allows Abortion Kill Pill to continue to be sent by mail Here in the United States, on May 14th, the Supreme Court ruled to allow the Abortion Kill Pill to continue to be sent through the mail. It trumped the May 1st ruling by a federal appeals court in Louisiana which had barred the mailing of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions, which is the preferred murder method that 63% of mothers choose who wish to abort their children. To their credit, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito both dissented. Alito contended that “[w]hat is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization,” the court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Gov. DeSantis vs. House Minority Leader Jeffries on redistricting Ever since the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the unconstitutional redistricting in Virginia where Republicans would only be left with one of 11 Congressional seats, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been discouraging Florida Republican politicians from doing their own redistricting, reports The Hill.com. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis got a kick out Congressman Jeffries' rhetoric. DeSANTIS: “I heard this guy, Jeffries, popping off in Washington, about Florida. He wants to be Speaker of the House, and he's more liberal than [Nancy] Pelosi from New York City. We're going to go after Florida. Please be my guest. I will pay for you to come down to Florida and campaign. I'll put you up in the Florida governor's mansion. We'll take you fishing. “There's nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Hakeem Jeffries everywhere around this state. Voters will not like what they see. They will not want that type of ideology. And so, the door is open. The invitation is out there. I don't think there would be anything better for the Republican Party of Florida, but to have Jeffries there. “Now, I kind of feel bad for the guy, because he's as left as they come. He's always going left, and yet the Far Left hates him. You know, they call him a ‘Dollar Store Obama.'” On May 15th, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal of Virginia Democrats to revive their lopsided redistricting plan, reports Politico.com. Missionary Sheldon Jackson felt compelled to share Gospel And finally, 192 years ago today, Sheldon Jackson was born in 1834.  He wanted to become a missionary overseas, but the Presbyterian board told the five-foot-tall Jackson, who had weak eyesight and was often ill, that he would be better suited for duty in the United States.  Jackson's first assignment was at the Choctaw mission in Oklahoma Territory, where he worked until poor health forced him to go back East in 1859. In the summer of 1869, Jackson went on a missionary tour using the railroad and stage lines, establishing a church a day. Jackson found his major life's work in the new territory of Alaska with 20,000 miles of coastline. In 1867, Secretary of State William Seward, during the administration of President Andrew Johnson, had negotiated the Alaska Purchase from Russia.   In 1877, Jackson began his work in Alaska. He became committed to the Christian, educational, and economic wellbeing of the Alaska Natives.  He famously said, “I must work the works of Him Who sent me while it is yet day,” adapting the command of John 9:4.  The Scripture says, “As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.” Ultimately, he travelled one million miles and established more than one hundred missions and churches, mostly in the Western United States.

This week we talk about Keir Starmer, Labour, and the Reform UK party.We also discuss Tories, the Lib Dems, and two-party systems.Recommended Book: Peak by K. Anders Ericsson and Robert PoolTranscriptFor more than 100 years, the British political system has been dominated by two parties: Labour and the Conservative Party, often called the Tories.In practice, that means these two parties, which are center-left and center-right in their leanings, respectively, have tended to shape the direction of British politics and the Overton Window of thinkable proposals—things that might actually happen because they get the requisite support from politicians and the public.These two parties have usually had to work with other, smaller parties in order to get anything done, because the UK has a parliamentary system that often leaves the party with the most representatives lacking enough support to run a functioning government, solo. As a consequence, the Liberal Democrats, which is a fairly centrist party, the Green Party, which focuses on environmentalism and more left-wing concerns, Plaid Cymru (plied KUM-ree), which is the Welsh nationalist party, and the Scottish National Party, which is exactly what it sounds like, have long influenced Labour and the Tories, aligning their votes with whomever gives them a seat at the table. This has given some influence to smaller groups that might otherwise lack representation, though that influence has typically been moderate to meager, at best—the folks in Labour and the Conservative party have run things in the UK, and that's been the case for generations.Things started to shake up a bit in the 20-teens, however, when anti-immigration and EU-skepticism in Britain led to the creation of the far-right Brexit Party, which was co-founded by politician Nigel Farage, who was the leader of the UK Independence Party in the early 2000s and 20-teens, and who was previously a Tory, and Catherine Blaiklock, a politician and hotelier who stepped down from her position as party leader the year after the Brexit Party was founded after anti-Islamic and racist comments she'd previously made online were rediscovered.The Brexit Party existed, almost exclusively, to push for a no-agreement exit from the European Union by the UK, which was considered to be a fairly fringe ideology back then, but which gained a lot of steam as other populists began to add their support to the general concept.Both the government and the existing political structure of the UK was then caught flat-footed, by all indications very surprised by the eventual success of that push, and the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020, after a whole lot of skepticism that it would ever happen, even after a vote in favor of Brexit took place. This represented a serious come to Jesus moment for British politicians, but also British society, and there's been quite a lot of self-reflection and naval gazing in the years since, as the Brexit pullout from the EU has caused quite a lot of economic and diplomatic damage, while also shining a spotlight on numerous simmering issues that were previously overlooked or unaddressed, including the bubbling resentment and at times outright xenophobia felt by a significant portion of the British electorate, and persistent economic issues faced by folks at the middle and lower rungs of society.What I'd like to talk about today is the recent 2026 UK Local Elections, and what they seem to tell us about how things are going in British politics, and what they portend for the current Labour-run administration.—On May 7, 2026, the UK held local elections for 5,066 councillors, 136 local authorities, and six directly elected mayors. Some of these elections were postponed in 2025 to allow for government restructuring, but most of these positions were last up for election in 2022.This election was generally seen as an unofficial referendum on the governing Labour Party, and in particular the current Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who has been in office for just under two years, and who stepped into the role of PM after the role was held by the Conservative Tories for 14 years; five different Prime Ministers taking the reins during that period, including David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak.All that changing in leadership is indicative of the chaos the UK government was experiencing at the time, the May 2010 general election leading to a period of significant austerity—the government cutting tons of social programs in order to reduce spending—which then fed into more support for Brexit when some members of the party positioned the economic issues people were facing as the consequence of EU-related immigration, and shortly thereafter, the world succumbed to the Covid-19 pandemic.There was a lot of truly significant political change from about 2010 onward, then, and a lot for the general population to be upset about. The Conservatives held onto power despite it all for those 14 years, but the shift back to Labour was the result of Starmer and his party saying, listen, we hear you, a lot has to change, and we can instigate that change. Trust us.This new election suggests that the majority of voters in the UK feel that the Labour Party hasn't lived up to that trust.In Wales, Plaid Cymru has taken the most seats, 43, but failed to achieve the 49 seat majority they would require to govern, solo.In Scotland, the SNP took the most seats, but also fell short of a majority, netting 58 seats, not the 65 required for a majority.Both of those results are not terribly shocking, though in Wales Labour lost a lot of power, down 35 seats and holding onto just 9. The Conservatives also lost in Wales, holding onto seven seats and losing 22.In Scotland, too, Labor lost some of their influence, losing 4 seats and retaining 17, while the Conservatives lost a whopping 19 seats, holding onto just 12.In England, the change in seat allocation was stunning, though.Labour lost 1406 seats, leaving them with 997, while the Conservatives lost 557 seats, holding onto just 773.Even considering those losses, the biggest story in England is the surge in support for previously small parties, in particular a far-right party called Reform UK, previously called the Brexit Party, and run by the aforementioned proponent of the British exit from the EU, Nigel Farage.Reform UK went from 2 seats to 1,444; a shocking outcome, and one that makes them the biggest winner in this election, by far. They also gained 17 seats, up from zero, in Scotland, putting them at an equal level there with Labour, and they went from zero to 34 in Wales, putting them in a competitive second place after Plaid Cymru, which again, claimed 43 seats.Other, non-Labour, non-Conservative parties also gained seats in this election, though not at the level of Reform UK.The Green Party gained two seats in Wales and six in Scotland, bringing them up to 15 there. They also gained 374 sets in England, bringing them up to 515 total seats, which leaves them in fifth place, but just 258 seats shy of the Conservatives.The Lib Dems, which are the local Centrist party, gained 151 seats, putting them in third. And there was a small surge in independent politicians winning elections, as well, that group now controlling 199 seats, up from 27 before this vote.In the wake of this absolute shellacking of Keir Starmer's Labour party—which again, lost 1406 seats in England, and their opposition, and in many ways their polar opposite, the far-right Reform UK party, gained even more than Labour lost, up 1442 seats—in the wake of that, Starmer has been asked to resign, and as of the day I'm recording this, at least, he's saying that he will not resign, and since there's no formal challenge to his leadership, he can stay in power if he chooses.There is a growing movement amongst Labour lawmakers to ask him to set a timetable for stepping down, however, and there's a pretty good chance that will happen, as the British political system allows parties to change their Prime Minister mid-term without requiring a new election, so they could swap him out for someone else, making him the face of this immense electoral failure, then they could try to change course before the next election, which will happen by mid-August of 2029, during which the vote will be for the 650 seats in the House of Commons, which is currently dominated by Starmer's Labour party.The big takeaway here, from political analysts at least, is that what used to be a reliably two-party system, for over a century that's been the case, is now a five-way race within a cultural context in which voters seem to be a lot less loyal to politicians and parties, and in which a whole lot of previously reliable infrastructure, social systems, and cultural expectations have been recently disrupted.People in the UK seem to be generally unhappy about all sorts of things, and that kind of broad unhappiness often results in more populism, which means general anti-establishment stances and us-versus-them ideologies, including racial, religious, and nationalistic versions of such ideologies, and typically a lot more support for charismatic leadership over leaders who are generally qualified and will probably be good at their jobs because they're experienced and knowledgeable.In other words, you're more likely to get loudmouths and celebrities running for office, successfully, in populist electoral contexts, and you're also more likely to see parties leaning into superficial race, class, and elite-vs-everyman issues, as opposed to running on well-defined approaches to dealing with more complex issues.In the meantime, until that 2029 election, it's likely Farage's Reform UK will bang the drum against the governing Labour party to gather more power in the lead up to 2029, and that other non-Labour, non-Conservative parties will attempt to do the same, newly energized by these results.And depending on how that non-voting-year rallying goes, this could represent a foot in the door for these smaller parties. And we could consequently see more former Labour and Conservative politicians and voters leaving for Reform, for the Lib Dems, for the Greens, and for independents. All of which will make UK politics a lot more chaotic, but also probably more diverse, with power less centralized and the government's makeup a bit less predictable.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_Kingdom_local_electionshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/world/europe/uk-elections-local-takeaways.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05/08/world/uk-local-elections-resultshttps://apnews.com/article/uk-elections-starmer-labour-what-to-know-eb11ff39b1b74bbaf9f4ef6abfd60f64https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/08/uk/uk-local-election-reform-farage-starmer-intlhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-08/how-bad-for-labour-britain-s-local-elections-in-six-chartshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_the_United_Kingdomhttps://www.bbc.com/news/live/c1428pev1n0t#election-englanhttps://www.politico.eu/article/nigel-farage-reform-uk-win-next-general-election/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_United_Kingdom_general_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Blaiklockhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_UKhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Faragehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit This is a public episode.
