Podcasts about british prime ministers

It's Wednesday, June 24th, 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 Jonathan Clark Attacks on French Christians up by 70 percent Attacks on Christians in France surged over 70 percent last year. The data comes from a recent report by the government.  General anti-religious attacks more than doubled since 2010. Anti-Christian violence followed the trend, nearly doubling over the same period. The European Center for Law & Justice notes that the actual number of anti-Christian acts may be two to three times higher than the official figures. The group also reported that France lacks any dedicated institutional framework to combat anti-Christian hatred. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned The United Kingdom's head of government announced his resignation on June 22nd. The country is set to have its sixth prime minister in just seven years. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepped down after his Labor Party experienced major election losses in May.  STARMER: “The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party, and I accept that answer with good grace. Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. “That is why I will resign as leader of the Labor Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King [Charles III] this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labor Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the ninth of July.” Keir Starmer, an avowed atheist, was known for his support for abortion and assisted suicide.  Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” British study: Marriage brings more stability New research from the United Kingdom confirms that marriage is a major factor in relationship stability.  The report from the Marriage Foundation found that unmarried couples were nearly twice as likely to separate as married couples. Dr. Harry Benson is the Research Director at the Marriage Foundation. He noted, “This groundbreaking study categorically demonstrates the benefits of marrying, and blows apart decades of government policy that has consistently downgraded marriage to just another form of relationship like cohabitating.” Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” U.S. abortions down slightly In the United States, the reported number of babies murdered in the womb decreased slightly last year. The Society of Family Planning, a pro-abortion group, estimates there were 1.13 million abortions in 2025. That's down from 1.14 million in 2024. The data shows in-person abortions are decreasing while so-called “telehealth” abortions are increasing. Nearly a third of abortions are now done outside of physical locations by swallowing the Abortion Kill Pill which mothers order by mail. Texas judge allowed recusal from officiating homosexual faux weddings A Texas judge won her religious freedom case last week against the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The Commission had issued Judge Dianne Hensley a public warning, sanctioning her for Christian beliefs. She had simply recused herself from performing weddings for couples living in unnatural relations.  The recent settlement awarded Hensley $10,000 and required the Commission to pay her attorney's fees of $630,000.  Economist Alan Greenspan died at 100 Economist Alan Greenspan died at the age of 100 on Monday from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He served as the chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. He has been credited as the orchestrator of U.S. economic growth in the 1990s. However, his easy-money policies were also blamed for the 2008 financial crisis.  Greenspan was often known as the second most powerful person in the country after the president.  47 percent of Protestant pastors oppose celebrating America's 250th birthday A new survey from Lifeway Research asked pastors about celebrating America's 250th birthday.  Fifty-percent of U.S. Protestant pastors agree that their church should do something special to commemorate the event. Forty-seven percent disagree.  Also, 45 percent of pastors support patriotic elements in worship services during the week of July Fourth. That's down from 61 percent in 2016. Meanwhile, 30 percent of pastors say their congregation's love for America sometimes seems great than their love for God. That's down from 53 percent.   U.S. soccer players glorify God And finally, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team is advancing in the World Cup. The team has achieved back-to-back victories for the first time since 1930. Members of the team are also making headlines for their faith in Jesus Christ.  Last week, star player Christian Pulisic posted a picture of teammates praying on the field after their game against Australia. One of his teammates, Mark Mackenzie, commented on the photo with a reference to Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. The passage says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Listen to Mackenzie comment on his faith in Christ. MACKENZIE: “The salvation that I have is nothing that I earned; it's a gift. There's nothing else to it. Every day that goes by is a day where I have to look up and say, ‘Thank you, Lord, for seeing me through this.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 24th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer formally announced his resignation outside 10 Downing Street on June 22, 2026, succumbing to significant pressure from his own party members following a series of policy errors and severe local election losses.He will continue to serve as caretaker prime minister until the Labour Party appoints a successor. Former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is the leading candidate to assume the position.Less than two years after achieving a historic landslide victory in July 2024, Starmer departs with unprecedentedly low approval ratings. His decline was hastened by several critical factors:The Mandelson Scandal: His contentious choice to appoint party veteran Peter Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US backfired dramatically when extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein were uncovered in late 2025.Electoral Hemorrhaging: The hard-right, anti-immigration Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage, decisively defeated Labour in local elections, instigating alarm among Labour MPs.Policy Backlashes: Unpopular domestic reforms—such as poorly managed efforts to eliminate winter fuel payments for the elderly and disputes over farm taxes—alienated his support base.The Final Straw: A series of cabinet resignations throughout the spring culminated in Andy Burnham winning a parliamentary by-election last week, providing the dissenting faction with an immediate and suitable replacement.Andy Burnham: The newly inaugurated Member of Parliament for Makerfield and previous Mayor of Greater Manchester promptly announced his intention to run for leadership. He enjoys significant popularity due to his "Manchesterism" initiative focused on regional empowerment and is largely regarded by the Labour Party as the sole individual capable of countering Nigel Farage's electoral challenge.Wes Streeting: The former Secretary of State for Health was anticipated to contest against Burnham; however, he opted to endorse him instead, aiming to prevent a divisive summer election, thereby smoothing Burnham's ascent to leadership.Nigel Farage: The leader of Reform UK has called for an immediate general election, although British law stipulates that the ruling Labour Party is not constitutionally required to conduct a general election until August 2029.A change in leadership within a party during its term does not automatically necessitate a general election.

The Labour leader's resignation has sparked a seismic shift in the UK's political landscape triggering a fierce contest for his party's leadership and the keys to Downing Street. RTÉ's London Correspondent Sean Whelan brought us more details.

Episode 147 -- Keep Spinning (Just Maybe Not Scrolling) Dan was "sunburned". Nicole was ready. And somehow we ended up covering deep fakes, boner pill ads, and the future of flying -- all in one episode. We kicked things off with breaking news: the British Prime Minister announced plans to ban social media for anyone under 16, going further than any country has gone before. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, X -- all off limits for kids. Nicole walks through what makes this different from Australia's version and why enforcement is the real question. Then Dan brings the stats on America quietly breaking up with alcohol. The percentage of Americans drinking dropped from 62% in 2023 to 54% in 2025 -- a massive shift in a very short time. Gen Z is leading the charge, and the beverage industry is scrambling to keep up with non-alcoholic spirits, THC drinks, and whatever a dirty Mountain Dew is. Dan accidentally ordered one. He did not enjoy it. Nicole drops a topic that had Dan immediately claiming he called it years ago: electric air taxis are officially happening this month under a federal pilot program. Planes that take off like helicopters, land in 150 feet, and could eventually make regional air travel look like an Uber. Dan has opinions.  Dan also has a DJI Mavic and a parachute man, and those things turned into a whole other story. And yes, Dan accidentally listened to a very different kind of performance anxiety meditation on the Calm app before a post-prom trivia show. A month of interesting ads followed. You'll understand when you hear it. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts -- we drop new episodes every Wednesday. Until next time, Spinners. Keep spinning.

LORD JOHN REDWOOD WHO'S RIGHT? THE NEW CASE FOR CONSERVATISM COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 139Steven Tripp is joined by the Rt. Hon Lord John Redwood to discuss his new book, ‘Who's Right? The New Case for Conservatism'.Lord John Redwood was a successful businessman, before becoming Chief Policy Advisor to former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, in the mid-1980s. Later, in 1987, Lord Redwood was elected to the House of Commons, where he remained until his retirement in 2024. Lord Redwood served in Cabinet in the early 1990s, as Secretary of State for Wales and held several Shadow Portfolios during the Conservative's time in opposition. In recent years, Lord Redwood has been an outspoken advocate for Brexit, as well as being a notable author of several books. In January this year, Lord Redwood was appointed to the House of Lords, when he was created a life peer as Baron Redwood, of Wokingham in the Royal County of Berkshire.In this interview, Lord Redwood discusses his new book and his case for conservatism in the modern world and details how the conservatists around the World should tackle issues such as the economy, Net Zero, immigration and free speech.

Play The Mighty Challenge, Tuesday June 2 edition to see if you have the answer! 

Why does every British Prime Minister now seem doomed almost immediately? In this episode of Mark and Pete, we explore whether the job of Prime Minister has quietly become impossible. From Boris Johnson and Liz Truss to Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, modern British politics increasingly feels less like leadership and more like surviving a public psychological experiment conducted by Twitter, the Treasury, and several angry breakfast television presenters simultaneously.We look at collapsing trust in politicians, impossible public expectations, media outrage cycles, and why Britain may simply have become too fragmented to govern easily anymore. There's discussion of short-lived governments, permanent online anger, NHS pressures, immigration tensions, economic stagnation, and the strange modern assumption that one politician should somehow solve every national problem while also appearing charming in awkward factory photo opportunities.Mark and Pete also discuss whether politics has accidentally become a substitute religion in modern Britain, with Prime Ministers treated first as messiahs and then as scapegoats roughly six weeks later. Which, if nothing else, keeps the opinion poll industry gainfully employed.A witty, thoughtful, slightly sardonic Christian look at British politics, leadership, media culture, and why governing the United Kingdom increasingly resembles trying to pilot a shopping trolley through a hurricane.

The Disunited KingdomAt the time of writing this week's column Keir Starmer is still the Leader of the British Labour Party and Prime Minister. On Monday he delivered a ‘Save Keir Starmer' speech which may or may not work for him. Can he survive the voices of opposition within Labour? That is a matter for his party.The reality is that his leadership of Labour and its success in the 2024 general election had little to do with Starmer and more to do with voters' deep antipathy toward the Conservative party. With a landslide victory and a massive majority of 174., Starmer was given a mandate to right the wrongs of a decade of Tory mismanagement and corruption, and of the Brexit debacle.Instead and in just 23 months Starmer has lost the confidence of the vast majority of the electorate in Britain. His funding of public services in the North is disgraceful; his government's abject failure to tackle the cost of living crisis; or his bizarre and stupid appointment of Peter Mandelson to the post of Ambassador to the USA, have cost Labour dearly. Allied to these has been his shameful support for Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people. Consequently, Starmer is now reputedly the most unpopular British Prime Minister since opinion polling began decades ago.The Irish Language and Irish UnityWell done to Conradh na Gaeilge on the publication of its report – ‘A United Ireland: A Transformative Opportunity for the Irish language and Gaeltacht.' The report, written by Roisin Nic Liam, a researcher at Queens University, is an insightful examination of how the Irish Language has been traditionally viewed in the context of Irish Unity and its place in the growing conversation now taking place on unity. It accepts that “comprehensive planning is required in order to clarify what a united Ireland might look like. Such clarity would ensure that the people of Ireland are able to make an informed decision about the future of the country. Central to this discussion is the question of the Irish language.”Marwan Barghouti – A Resolute Defender of FreedomAfter 24 years the continued imprisonment of Palestinian Leader Marwan Barghouti is more than a punitive act of judicial oppression by Israel. It is a calculated strategic decision to prevent the emergence of a united Palestinian leadership. Barghouti is widely recognised among Palestinians as the leader who can unite the various Palestinian groups and provide a united, coherent political strategy to challenge Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and its genocidal policy in Gaza.For more than 50 years Marwan Barghouti has been part of the struggle against Israel's apartheid regime, its brutality and occupation of Palestine. He was born in 1959 in the west Bank. When he was eight years old the 1967 war resulted in Israel occupying the west Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. It was under this military occupation that Marwan grew up.

Sean Whelan, RTÉ's London Correspondent, outlines the latest developements as British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, battles to retain the leadership of the Labour party.

Rachael Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, explains why she is calling for British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to step down.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer insists he has no intention of resigning as calls grow louder within his own Labour Party for him to step down after historic losses last week in local council elections. Starmer's insistence to stay has seen some of the junior members of his government quit in protest.

Reunited in the studio to compare notes in the middle of Starmer's leadership crisis, the team ask what has gone wrong in less than two years. Is this story of disenchantment a uniquely Labour one? Is it all about the electoral pressures on the party, Starmer's mistakes, or has the UK developed an allergy to incumbents? Plus: Gordon Brown's surprise comeback under the spotlight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The British Prime Minister is facing calls to step down, including from within his own cabinet.

Dan Bloom, Political Editor, POLITICO, discusses the latest on Keir Starmer's future as pressure mounts on the British Prime Minister to resign.

Sean Whelan, London Correspondent, reports on the mounting pressure on British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer to resign.

It's another febrile day in Westminster with Prime Minister Keir Starmer - for now - clinging on but he's far from safe as a succession of ministers have stepped down, with more expected to go. On top of that, the man who has become the PM's nemesis in the north, Andy Burnham, is apparently down in London. Shopping? Plotting? So it looks like Keir Starmer might just hit the current average tenure of British Prime Ministers - two years, but no more. Is this really the way to run a country in the middle of two wars and a cost-of-living crisis? And could anyone else really do any better? On this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Political Editor Liam Thorp, who has co-authored a book with Andy Burnham on how to transform the country, and the Observer columnist Will Hutton.

My friend Miguel Lopez returns to the show, taking a break from his Ph.D studies of World War II to help me understand how Animal Farm by George Orwell creates a fictional portrayal of Stalin and Stalinism. We also answer a listener's question about whether the memes referring to British Prime Minister (for now) Keir Starmer as "Keir Stalin" are making fair criticisms of his policies, or if this is just social media ragebait.

Lucy Fisher, Whitehall editor at The Financial Times, analyses the precarious status of British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, following last week's local elections in the UK.

British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer vows to prove “doubters” wrong in his speech today, as 40 Labour MPs call on him to resign.The Prime Minister said he took responsibility for the results, which saw Labour lose almost 1,500 English councilors, go backwards in Scotland and drop to third in Wales…His comments come just days before King Charles III will deliver the King's Speech, in which he will set out the government's planned new laws for the next Parliamentary session.For more on this Shane is joined by Whitehall Editor of the Financial Times and Host of the ‘Political Fix' podcast, Lucy Fisher and Matthew Torbitt, former Labour advisor, Political Commentator and anti-homelessness campaigner.

Lucy Fisher, Whitehall Editor with the Financial Times, looks ahead to a House of Commons vote that could see the British Prime Minister face an inquiry over Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK ambassador to the US.

A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has come into effect after it was brokered by the United States. Hezbollah have indicated they will observe the truce, though Israeli troops are to remain in Lebanese areas they have occupied. Iran has welcomed the development but wants a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. President Trump says Iran has agreed to hand over its enriched uranium, one of the key sticking points in negotiations to bring the war to an end. Fresh talks, he said, could resume as early as this weekend with Washington and Tehran "very close" to making a deal.Also: the British Prime Minister is facing calls to resign, after it emerged that his former ambassador to the US was appointed despite failing security vetting. Peter Mandelson was sacked last year over his friendship with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The future of the Saudi-funded golf tour LIV hangs in the balance as cash appears to be running out.

It started as a festival announcement and ended with a government ban, a cancelled event, and a very pointed statement from the British Prime Minister. On today’s podcast, we’re going to take a closer look at how exactly the UK government barred Kanye West from entering the UK.For more stories like this, and all things pop culture, sign up to our TDA Culture newsletter here.

On April 5, 1955, Winston Churchill stepped down as British Prime Minister, closing the curtain on one of the most formidable careers in modern politics. His final years in office, marked by declining health but continued global influence, reveal a more complex and often overlooked chapter.

Dodsworth is the feature attraction in this 728th talk on Have You Ever Seen, but then there was an unexpected 2nd review in this episode. I spent 10 or 12 minutes on the George Arliss 1929 Oscar-winner, Disraeli…the one about the late-1800s British Prime Minister's quest to buy the Suez Canel. As for Dodsworth, we've got another winner from William Wyler, who directs Walter Huston & Ruth Chatterton as a middle-aged couple who just aren't clicking anymore. He retires and they vacation in Europe, but that love just might be gone. So ditch Zenith for exotic European locales (or maybe even for Egypt) as I present monologues about Dodsworth and Disraeli. Well, Actually: just to be clear, an actor CAN get nominated for Oscars in the leading AND supporting categories in the modern era (as Al Pacino, Julianne Moore and Jamie Foxx have), but can't get 2 noms in the same category the way Arliss did back when Disraeli was made.

The Matts tackle a number of intersecting topics: can the Peter Mandelson affair damage Keir Starmer more than it already has? What did his stance on Iran do for Labour in the polls? How is Westminster geared for an election where four - maybe five - parties are nip and tuck? And does Shabana Mahmood's banning of a pro-Palestine march signal a split at the top of government?

For the latest Irish Times Editor, Freya McClements.

“After four years of war, Putin, who supposedly possessed the second-most powerful military on earth, has only been able to take less than 20% of Ukrainian land. And yes, Zelensky has done an extraordinary job of marshalling his country and galvanising Western support... But the heroes are the people of Ukraine.”Laura Kuenssberg speaks to former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and former head of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, about the war in Ukraine.Johnson was in Downing Street four years ago, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.As one of the driving forces behind the West's initial response, he's been critical of the slowness of allies in providing support to President Zelensky, which Johnson says has cost lives.The two men believe the conflict could have been prevented altogether if Western allies had paid more attention to Putin's increasing aggression and annexation of Crimea in 2014.Thank you to the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg team for their help in making this programme.

The woman tipped to be the next head of the UK Civil Service has faced multiple bullying complaints according to reports this morning. The Times newspaper says "there is more than a whiff of misogyny" in the briefings against her. Nuala McGovern hears more about the debate over the possible appointment of Dame Antonia Romeo with Kitty Donaldson, the Chief Political Commentator for the i Newspaper, and Caroline Slocock. Caroline was the first female private secretary to a British Prime Minister when she served alongside Margaret Thatcher.Belle Burden is a former corporate lawyer, a pro bono immigration lawyer, a Harvard graduate and a mother of three, born into American high society. When she got married in 1999, her wedding was announced in the New York Times. Two decades later she broke with convention and published her candid essay on the marriage's sudden rupture, in the long-running New York Times Modern Love series. Now her book Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage has become a New York Times bestseller. Belle Burden joins Nuala live from New York to discuss ghosting, grieving and getting on with life on her own terms.Tomorrow, the Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will speak about the plight of women and girls in Sudan at the United Nations Security Council. Stories from the war-torn country are harrowing. Sudan's conflict began in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces or RSF. More than 150,000 people have died in the conflict across the country, and about 12 million have fled their homes in what the UN has called the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Nuala is joined BBC's Africa Correspondent, Barbara Plett Usher.Two years ago, Dr Henrietta Hughes, England's first Patient Safety Commissioner, published a report laying out a plan for compensation for women harmed by pelvic mesh implants. The Hughes report set a deadline for the government, which has just passed without action. Dr Hughes tell Nuala what action she wants to see from the government, and Kath Sansom, the founder of the Sling The Mesh campaign group, tells us how women's lives have been affected.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

Today, we're talking about grit and determination, which go a long way in helping find success in life. And they're contagious.Winston Churchill was almost 70 when his country needed him most, when he stared down Hitler's war machine. The British Prime Minister's signature line was, “We shall fight on the beaches,” but the essence of his message came with these words, “We shall go on to the end.” Luke 18:1 says, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” And it is a partnership because God keeps His word. Philippians 1:6, “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”There's a great practical application in scripture. These old words that are always new were not meant to be just some nice thing to say. God does what He says he will do. If you feel like you have no way out of your troubles today, tell God that. Remember the scriptural promises and remind yourself that countless people have done the same and come out okay on the other side. Don't give up, and see what the Lord will do. Let's pray. Lord, we give you our fear and our uncertainty. We can't cope with the situation we're in alone, but we trust you to give us strength not to quit. We believe for the victory over these circumstances, and God, we find rest in your mercies. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Keir Starmer's judgment is being questioned over his past appointment as ambassador to the United States of Peter Mandelson, a British peer with deep personal connections to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Can he survive as prime minister? We hear the latest from our reporter in parliament. And as Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell invokes the Fifth Amendment, declining to answer questions before the US House Oversight Committee, we catch up with the political reaction. Also in the programme: American tech giants Meta and Google go on trial in California - they're accused of harming children by knowingly creating addictive social media platforms. And the French government sends letters to every 29-year-old in the country, exhorting them to have babies while their biological clocks are still ticking.(Photo: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer leaving 10 Downing Street, London.

Keir Starmer lands in China tonight as he becomes the first British Prime Minister to visit since Theresa May in 2018. Sam Hogg from the Oxford China Policy Lab and James Heale join Patrick Gibbons to assess the UK-China relationship right now, what Labour is hoping to get from the visit and whether there are risks for Starmer as well as rewards. Is the tight rope Starmer is walking between the UK & China a sign of weakness, or an extension of a pragmatic 'Starmerite' foreign policy?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
