Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack As promised, Mr irishelectionprojections.com Harry McEvansoneya is back to make sense of the Galway West and Dublin Central by-elections. Sense (from Groves) is maybe a bit of a stretch. Will Fine Gael's Ray McAdam get Soc Dem's Dan Ennis elected or will Gerry Hutch's transfers turn everything upside down? Will Labour pull of a shock in Galway? Enjoy or endure. There is no in between.

Andy Burnham may have a route back to Westminster – and a path to the Labour leadership.

The Irish Times and TG4 by Ipsos B&A poll shows Sinn Féin's Janice Boylan leads the byelection race in Dublin Central with first preference votes at 21 per cent, Daniel Ennis of the Social Democrats is in second place on 18 per cent. But Ennis will be in line for a lot of transfers from the fragmented left-wing vote, with Labour, People Before Profit and the Green Party all having candidates in the race. Veteran criminal Gerry Hutch is running in third place on 14 per cent, growing his vote from 9 percent in the last general election. Could his transfers play an important role for Boylan's path to victory?And Fianna Fáil's John Stephens is way back in the field on 4 per cent. His cause won't have been helped by Bertie Ahern's comments on immigration, captured while the former taoiseach was out on a byelection canvass last week. The poll shows immigration trails cost-of-living and housing as an issue for voters ahead of election day on May 22nd.Produced by John Casey.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

What happened over the weekend? Do you mind dogs in stores and restaurants?GUESTS: Gabor Lucaks - Air Passenger Rights David Coffey - Fraud detective with the Toronto Police Siobhan Morris - CTV Toronto Queen’s Park Bureau Chief

US President Donald Trump has dashed hopes of an imminent end to the war in the Middle East, rejecting Iran's response to America's peace proposal as unacceptable.

Pat Leahy and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The findings of the Irish Times/TG4 opinion poll on first preference votes, carried out by Ipsos B&A, suggests three leading candidates in the Galway West byelection. It shows Seán Kyne (Fine Gael) at 17 per cent followed by Noel Thomas (Independent Ireland Party) on 16 per cent and Helen Ogbu (Labour) on 12 per cent. · In Dublin Central, candidate and veteran criminal Gerry Hutch rejected claims that recent comments he made about immigrants were racist. In a social media post on Sunday Hutch said, “illegal immigrants”, including Somalis, who were “mooching” their way into the country, should be interned in the Curragh.· And Minister for Education Hildegarde Naughton's recent confirmation that her department is facing a deficit of more than €500 million this year was dwarfed by the HSE's decision to pause recruitment in non-frontline roles across significant parts of the country due to a projected €1 billion overspend this year.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Mark Paul on nationalist-led administrations running Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Finn McRedmond is not a fan of ‘grotty' Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, and Donald Trump's boundless appetite for self‑memorialisation.

John Black, of political profiling firm Australian Development Strategies joins Philip Clark with a special look at why the Farrer by-election, which is anything but typical. 

Hugh Linehan hosts a live Inside Politics show in Galway's Róisín Dubh with Pat Leahy, Ellen Coyne and Galway native Harry McGee ahead of the May 22nd Galway West byelection. Harry, fresh from his day of shadowing candidates on the canvass, profiles the constituency and what influences are at play in this huge electoral area, which spans urban, rural and Gaeltacht districts. The Irish Times politics team outlines why byelections are hard to predict, who the key candidates are, and what dynamics might shape the race; from Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas and the lingering impact of the fuel protests to the “vote left, transfer left” pact and Catherine Connolly's influence. They also consider whether government candidates can break the usual byelection pattern, the Social Democrats' momentum, and what the result could signal about longer-term shifts in Irish politics. Hugh also fields questions from our live audience, some of whom have travelled from as far away as Dundee in Scotland.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· There are now 14 candidates confirmed as running in Dublin Central and 17 candidates in Galway West in the upcoming byelections on May 22nd. And while it looks like a tussle between those representing centre-left parties in the capital, Independent Ireland councillor Noel Thomas already looks to be the frontrunner in Galway West.· Sinn Féin are hopeful of a byelection win in leader Mary Lou McDonald's own constituency of Dublin Central, not least because of reported unrest, albeit privately, over the party's future direction under McDonald's leadership.· And the Government announced this week that it will begin a six-month process of withdrawing tourist and commercial accommodation housing up to 16,000 Ukrainians here from August, coupled with the winding down of the Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) scheme which will see the €600 monthly payment to hosts reducing to €400 in September and ceasing next March. What impact will this have on homeless figures and the number of integrated Ukrainians leaving the country?Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Gerry Hutch in sunny Lanzarote, the Ukrainian grandfathers fighting on the front line, and online misogynistic abuse thrives and proliferates.

The consumer watchdog has accused Coles of ripping off customers with fake discounts in a bombshell case going before the federal court today. The ACCC alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case, saying the program did offer a genuine discount and that any price increases were due to supplier demands and inflationary pressures.Liberal senator James McGrath says the Liberals want to make it clear to Australians what party stands for, and that Australians can expect to see a series of policy announcements from the Opposition in the "coming days and weeks".Since winning Liberal leadership in Friday's spill, Angus Taylor and his deputy Jane Hume have put the economy, childcare, immigration, and nuclear energy on their policy agenda.Senator McGrath says the party's preparing for a fierce battle in the Farrer by-election, with the Nationals, One Nation and independent Michelle Millthorpe also intending to contest the seat. The Munich Security Conference wrapped up in Germany a few hours ago, after three days of meetings and speeches from world leaders covering everything from the war in Ukraine to regime change in Iran.The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio used his speech to reassure Europe the US doesn't plan to abandon the transatlantic alliance.Meanwhile the European Union's foreign policy chief claimed Russia has barely made progress in four years of its war with Ukraine, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted his country needed a 20-year security guarantee from the US before agreeing to any peace deal.America's top foreign diplomat Marco Rubio says the US is trying to strike a successful deal with Iran on its nuclear program, while warning it won't be easy.  Tehran and Washington are holding a fresh round of nuclear talks this week in Geneva, as the US continues to expand its military presence in the middle east.Iran's deputy foreign minister says if sanctions relief was on the table, Tehran might be open to compromise on its nuclear program. Australia's continued its success at the Winter Olympics in Italy, with skier Matt Graham claiming bronze in the dual moguls.The medal's Australia's sixth of the Games and third in mogul skiing, after Jakara Anthony's and Cooper Woods's gold medals last week. Meanwhile Adam Lambert and Josie Baff have finished fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross, and Ally Hickman has made it to the final of the women's snowboard slopestyle, while 2022 bronze medallist Tess Coady, has missed out on qualification.

Winter gold medallist Cooper Woods has created a stir in his beachside home town and there has been significant rainfall in the red centre transforming the landscape. The desert country of Central Australia always responds rapidly to rain; it's seen rivers rise quickly, roads become impassable, parked cars flood, and people get stuck.

One of Australia’s best-known and most colourful politicians, Barnaby Joyce, is quitting the National Party to sit as an independent—and he hasn't ruled out joining Pauline Hanson’s One Nation in the future. Sarah Ison joins Claire Harvey to unpack the shock defection, what Pauline Hanson sees in the firebrand former leader, and why Joyce isn't resigning his New England seat to trigger a by-election.

As the dust settles on the presidential campaign, will the left stay united for the Galway byelection, will a Fianna Fáil heave materialise and what messages are the spoilers sending?

Labour's electoral dominance in Caerphilly, deep in the party's Welsh heartlands, has collapsed while Reform UK and Plaid Cymru have hoovered up votes. On a visit to the south Rhymney Valley ahead of a historic byelection, John Harris finds a polarised community, reminiscent of the final days of the European referendum contest. Kiran Stacey joins him to discuss the significance of the Caerphilly byelection, how it is being fought on the ground and online, and what it tells us about the future of UK politics. Plus, we look at problems facing the grooming gangs inquiry as a fourth survivor quits and the prime minister brings in the trusted trouble-shooter Louise Casey to try to shore up the process.

The Prime Minister's surprised Labour lost in the Tamaki Makaurau by-election. Te Pati Maori's Oriini Kaipara won the seat over Peeni Henare by three thousand votes. The by-election was triggered by the death of MP Takutai Tarsh Kemp. Total turnout was around 27.1 percent. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he thought Labour would trounce Te Pati Maori, as they've had no policies and have only been criticising. Luxon says he also felt bad for Peeni Henare with Chris Hipkins not showing up to the party. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He's Back! Poilievre Wins Seat In Massive Landslide VictoryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-baloney-the-richie-baloney-show--4036781/support.

Air Canada says operations will resume, now that it has reached a tentative deal with the union representing its flight attendants. Thousands of flights were disrupted when the strike started on Saturday. We have details on how quickly things will get back to normal.And: If you're wondering why prices are up at the grocery store, the culprit may not be what you suspect. Don't think trade, think climate.Also: Pierre Poilievre has decisively won the byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot. He has a seat in the House of Commons. He still has to face a leadership review in January, but until then he can resume his role as leader of the opposition.Plus: The Canadian Army is dealing with another incident of alleged hateful conduct. Five Quebec-based soldiers have been suspended after a video surfaced of people making Nazi salutes at a party; assessing the damage of East Coast wildfires, Ukraine negotiations, and more.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims covers Pierre Poilievre's landslide byelection win in Battle River–Crowfoot, where the Conservative leader secured more than 80% of the vote. Kris urged Poilievre to oppose the ban on gas and diesel vehicles and to fight the industrial carbon tax. Kris is joined by Christine Van Geyn, Litigation Director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, to examine how Canadians' freedoms are increasingly under attack in the name of “safety.” They discuss Nova Scotia's sweeping forest closures and massive fines for simply walking in the woods — a policy the CCF is challenging in court — and how government overreach chills free expression. Kris and Christine also highlight the disturbing trend of municipalities cancelling permits for Christian worship events. They point to the case of Sean Feucht, an American worship leader who has been coming to Canada for two decades without issue, suddenly finding his events targeted and shut down by local governments. Cities across the country have either pulled his permits or denied them outright, often citing vague safety concerns or labelling him too controversial. Christine warns that this is a clear example of censorship-by-bureaucracy, where politicians and officials hide behind process to silence voices they don't like. She stresses that freedom of religion and freedom of expression apply to all Canadians, and that governments should not be allowed to discriminate against speech or worship just because it may offend some people. They also discuss Christine's new children's book, Maple's Garden, which teaches kids about free expression and why it is the foundation of every other liberty we enjoy. As Christine explains, without the ability to speak freely and gather peacefully, Canadians lose the most powerful tool they have to hold government accountable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is anticipated to win today's byelection in Alberta's Battle River–Crowfoot, one of the safest Conservative seats in the country. But with more than 200 independent candidates on the ballot and separatist sentiment simmering in the province, analysts say the campaign offers clues on what to expect when Parliament returns this fall. We hear from former Conservative cabinet minister Monte Solberg and former Alberta NDP cabinet minister Shannon Phillips.

Thousands of unionized Air Canada flight attendants were supposed to be back work. But they are still on the picket lines in defiance of the federal government's return to work orders - and the airline remains grounded. That's leaving many to wonder - what comes next?Also: Voters in the Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot will decide if Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre gets a seat back in the House of Commons on Monday. You'll hear why this byelection is unlike any before.And: There's a shift happening in the war for your eyeballs. Streaming platforms like Netflix are starting to realize that the big stars aren't in Hollywood - they're on YouTube. And they're bringing in big-name content creators to grow their subscribers.Plus: Saskatchewan's bid to keep its coal plants, Sudan's humanitarian crisis, and more.

Alberta's Battle River-Crowfoot is about as safe a riding as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre could hope for as a place to regain a seat in the House of Commons in a byelection later this month. But he's facing pushback from some locals who feel they're being used as a means to an end by someone who won't represent their interests in Ottawa. The riding is also the latest target of the Longest Ballot Committee protest movement — including one dinosaur-obsessed candidate, Nicola Zoghbi, who promises to move the national capital to Drumheller and rename the riding "Raptor River-Crowfoot."Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing growing pressure to secure some sort of trade deal with the United States after Donald Trump made good on a promise of 35 percent tariffs on all Canadian imports not covered by CUSMA. How much political runway does Carney have left?CBC Ottawa senior reporter Aaron Wherry breaks down both of these stories.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Today, we're looking at the ongoing drama over ballots in the byelection for Battle River—Crowfoot, where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is looking to secure a seat so he can return to the House of Commons, after Elections Canada announced voters would be submitting write-in ballots after activists submitted an enormous list of candidates. Plus, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has flip-flopped on his previous statement about granting work permits to asylum seekers as the country struggles with unemployment, especially among young people. And finally, while some premiers have signed agreements on potential pipeline projects, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew remains a holdout despite previous statements supporting national unity projects.
