Is Keir Starmer's leadership sinking? With Labour facing mounting scandals and political turmoil, Starmer's grip on the party appears weaker than ever. The latest bombshells include Rachel Reeves allegedly lying on her CV, Jonathan Reynolds falsely claiming to be a solicitor, and now Labour MP Mike Amesbury jailed for assault, triggering a by-election crisis. As UK politics heats up, can Starmer survive the backlash? With public trust in Labour wavering, the party faces pressure from both the Conservatives and Reform UK ahead of the next general election. Meanwhile, global issues like Trump's influence, the war in Ukraine, and the cost of living crisis add to the challenges facing UK leadership. Will Starmer's centrist strategy hold the party together, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end for his leadership? Tune in for a deep dive into UK political news, debate, and free speech analysis.

 June 27, 2024 - The Liberals' stunning loss in the Toronto-St. Paul's byelection on Monday has fuelled conversations inside the caucus about the party's prospects and the future of Justin Trudeau's leadership. A growing number of Liberals are expressing the fear that few seats can be considered safe - and they're calling on the prime minister to address these concerns as soon as possible. Power & Politics hears from a former chief campaign strategist for the Liberals.

June 26, 2024 - Cabinet ministers are standing by the prime minister publicly but the shocking byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul's has some Liberal MPs privately questioning Justin Trudeau's leadership. Power & Politics hears from Health Minister Mark Holland. And our panel of political insiders weighs in on what comes next for Trudeau's Liberals.

The federal Conservatives won a shocking  byelection victory in Toronto-St. Paul's on Monday night, a seat held by the Liberals for more than 30 years. The Toronto Star's Stephanie Levitz explains why this was a “calculated” win for the Conservatives, and what it might mean for Justin Trudeau's future as Liberal leader. 

An upset in a Toronto byelection gives Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives a seat in Toronto. Many considered Toronto-St. Paul's to be one of the safest Liberal seats in the country. The Conservative win raises questions about the political future of Justin Trudeau. And: Canadians are being squeezed by rising prices. That cost of living crisis got a little worse last month. Statistics Canada reports the annual rate of inflation ticked up unexpectedly. Prices rose by 2.9 per cent in May… and that just may force the Bank of Canada to rethink interest rate cuts. Plus: Kenya's capital Nairobi is in chaos. Thousands of protesters have stormed parliament and set fire to parts of it during widespread public backlash against tax increases.

The long-awaited Toronto—St. Paul's byelection is today, and Liberal cabinet ministers have descended on the Liberal stronghold to try to get the vote out at a time when Justin Trudeau is twenty points behind Pierre Poilievre in national polls. While the Liberals may still win the riding, they have spent the last two weeks trying to lower expectations to soften the embarrassment that may be coming to them, True North's Andrew Lawton says. Also, Naheed Nenshi is now the Alberta NDP leader. We'll talk about what that means with Lindsay Wilson from Alberta Proud. Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta director Kris Sims returns for her Monday checkin talking about the high-flying catering bill Trudeau racked up on one of his foreign trips. Plus, despite claims from anti-Israel activists that Israel is “starving” Gazans, the facts show a different story. Andrew discusses with Honest Reporting Canada assistant director Robert Walker.

Excitement in Edmonton is at an all time high - as the Oilers prepare for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. Also: Voters in the Toronto-St. Pauls riding will be heading to the polls tomorrow in a byelection, as the riding's history as a Liberal stronghold is being put to the test. Plus: A star-powered ad calling for an end to salmon farming has a coalition of B.C. First Nations demanding an apology.

Monday night, June 24th, is byelection night in the Toronto riding of Toronto-St Paul's. Will the voters there determine the fate of Justin Trudeau. It's the big question, the only question, in the days leading up to the vote. Chantal and Bruce have their analysis in our last full edition Good Talk before the summer hiatus.

With the high-stakes byelection in Toronto–St. Paul's on Monday, I invited David Coletto, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, to come back on the podcast to do another polling deep-dive — this time on on where things stand in Toronto and beyond.Armed with reams of polling data, we take a look at Battleground Toronto, as well as Justin Trudeau's standing among various demographic groups across the country as speculation about the future of his leadership continues. We also compare where the polls stand, 16 months out from the next election, to where polls stood at this point in the calendar before the 2015, 2019 and 2021 campaigns.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we discuss the set of polls that suggest (as expected) that the Liberals are not in the midst of a comeback — quite the opposite. We also make our over/under bets on Monday's Toronto–St. Paul's byelection. Will the Conservatives pull off an upset? Then, we chat about the results of the Tuxedo byelection in Manitoba and a new poll out of British Columbia. We answer questions from the mailbag (could we be replaced by AI?) and Philippe has a tough quiz for me.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.

A week that was supposed to bring more woe for Rishi Sunak has turned into arguably the biggest test of Keir Starmer's leadership. Labour has had to suspend two of its parliamentary candidates for making comments about Israel. For Starmer, who's staked his reputation on ridding Labour of anti-semitism, it's been hugely embarrassing. Nish and Coco reflect on the farcical situation in Rochdale, where Azhar Ali will appear as a Labour candidate on the by-election ballot in a couple of weeks, despite the party having removed its support for him. With the Horizon Post Office scandal having put the use of non-disclosure agreements back in the spotlight, we hear from a woman who has made it her mission to stop NDAs being used to silence victims. Zelda Perkins, a former assistant to Harvey Weinstein, tells Nish and Coco about the traumatic experience of signing her NDA, which she likens to “legal waterboarding”, and why she chose to break it to help expose the film producer's crimes. On an optimistic note, she reveals how politicians from across the political divide are helping her to achieve change.Wrexham FC owners Ryan Renolds and Rob McElhenney feature in heroes and villains, as do three councillors from Warwickshire County Council. Plus find out why Nish has ditched Coco on Valentine's Day, and why they want your Jason Statham inspired film art. Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukWhatsApp: 07514 644 572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644 572Insta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/podsavetheworld Guest:Zelda Perkins, co-founder of Can't Buy My Silence Audio credits:Sky Newsparliamentlive.tv‘She Said', Annapurna Pictures, Plan B Entertainment and Universal PicturesWarwickshire County CouncilUseful links:https://www.cantbuymysilence.com/https://protect-advice.org.uk/https://www.wbuk.org/
