Lee Anderson and Richard Tice fronted another Reform presser yesterday, this time on their plans for council housing, should they be elected to government. Included in the announcement was the desire to prioritise council housing for married couples with children, as well as 'British-born' citizens. To analyse this fresh distinction, Oscar Edmondson and James Heale are joined by Ameer Kotecha to go over the plans, and ask whether it is right to draw a line between the Brits who are born here, and those who are not.Produced by Henry LloydBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

It is no surprise to listeners, many of whom are in the trenches of strengthening under-invested communities, that few strategies are as impactful as Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). These U.S. Department of Treasury-certified nonprofits operate in communities that banks do not serve, leaving them starved for capital and financial education. In many rural communities and in Indian Country specifically, CDFIs are often the only lending institutions available. It is important to note that low-income and communities of color carry the legacy of redlining and other public policies and corporate practices that intentionally barred low-income and people of color from small business loans and mortgages. It took years of grassroots action to move Congress to enact the Community Reinvestment Act and the Reigle Act, both of which are standout legislative solutions. On this episode of Power Station, Pete Upton, (Ponca Tribe of Nebraska) CEO of the Native CDFI Network, talks about how his on-the-ground members serve and invest in Native citizens across our nation, generating businesses, expanding homeownership and seeding generational wealth in Indian Country. He is a convener, bringing federal leaders, Native CDFI leaders and philanthropy to a common table to celebrate successes and advocate for what is needed and owed.

L. Joy is back and she has another lesson for us, the occupants of the Office of the Citizen, that is timely and important. Today's topic: the responsibilities of the people at a time of war/global conflict and how Black political thought has long challenged people to understand freedom as a global struggle. Weaving together everything from Hip-hop culture, to Dubois, PanAfricanism, to Malcom X's international human rights agenda, and Constitutional powers, L. Joy proves that citizens are not powerless. There is plenty of actions to be taken now.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Takiyah (T.D.) Harper-Shipman joins us to discuss her new book Unruly Fertility: Race, Development, and Decolonial Reproductive Politics (Stanford University Press, 2026). The discussion traces how modern states—from North Carolina to Senegal—have historically sutured Black women's fertility to the shifting demands of capitalist accumulation, deploying reproductive health policies not as benevolent care but as instruments of crisis management and labor control. Harper-Shipman unpacks the colonial origins of "womanhood" itself as a racialized labor category constructed during European enclosures, one that has always excluded Black women from its aspirational promises of citizenship, consumption, and reproductive autonomy. Drawing on Federici, Mies, Spillers, and Angela Davis, she argues that Black women enter the modern political economy as producers of workers—never citizens—and that contemporary feminist movements risk replicating white womanhood's assumptions when they abandon class analysis or ignore the chains of production behind their demands. The conversation also examines the recent closure of USAID, an institution Takiyah describes as fundamentally about the preservation of white life and the extension of U.S. empire. Rather than mourn its end, she urges us to seize this rupture and continue dismantling the colonial infrastructure of reproductive governance it represented. The conversation closes with a powerful critique of the epistemic violence embedded in global family planning campaigns—how metrics like "unmet need" were designed to serve supplier interests, not Black women's desires, and how Black women's embodied knowledge about contraceptive side effects is systematically dismissed as myth while dangerous technologies banned in the Global North are actively promoted across Africa. Throughout, we explore the Americanization of Black political identity from World War II through 9/11 to Obama's presidency, tracing how Black people have been conscripted into U.S. imperial projects through strategic moments of violence and national belonging. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation; additional questions will be addressed in an August follow-up. T.D. Harper-Shipman is an Associate Professor and Chair of Africana Studies at Davidson College in North Carolina. She teaches courses and publishes on political economy and its intersection with race and gender in Africa. She has published in p Antipode, Oxford Academic, Third World Quarterly, and International Studies Review, among other places. She is an academic editor at Third World Quarterly and forum editor with the Miami Institute of Social Sciences. Her first book, Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa was published with Routledge Press in 2019. She has also published in public-facing forums including Africa is a Country and the Global African Worker.   Reckoning with Empire: Defiant Scholarship with Takiyah Harper-Shipman La femme fait la maison: The Accumulation of Surplus Value through Family Planning in Burkina Faso To support our work and gain access to our discord and study groups please contribute to our patreon!

ERIE HAD A MINERAL DEAL. UNTIL THE CITIZENS SAID WAIT. For two years the town of Erie has been working to create a mineral deal with SM Energy, who have what is called the Draco pad. The Draco pad sits next to the town of Erie and SM Energy wanted to buy several plots of mineral rights that run under the town so they could use horizontal drilling to extract the oil and gas there. For two years they negotiated a deal that would have been very lucrative for Erie and it seemed a couple of weeks ago they had it. Here is what is in the deal: Cash & Revenue: $4.5 million upfront plus 3% production royalties over the life of the project (estimated over $21 million total).Land Transfers: Three parcels totaling roughly 160 acres along County Line Road transferred to the town.Well Mitigation: SM Energy agrees to plug and abandon 17 additional old or orphaned wells.Site Access: Town staff receive rights to perform routine safety inspections on the Draco well pad.Legal Context: Under Colorado law (SB 24-185), developers cannot force-pool municipal mineral rights, giving Erie leverage—which the council ultimately chose to trade for financial and land compensation rather than forcing the developer to route around town-owned strata. But not so fast. SM Energy has cancelled the deal after the citizens of Erie decided to put it on the ballot. I’ve got Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Bell on to talk about it at 1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On April 15, 1988, seventeen-year-old Randy Wayne Leach borrowed his mother's Dodge 600 and drove into the Kansas night. Neither Randy nor the car was ever seen again. What followed was a decades-long descent into the strange era of the American Satanic Panic, mysterious fires, sealed records, suspicious witnesses, dead investigators, and rumors of something wicked hiding beyond the cornfields. But beneath the carnival of conspiracy lies an even darker possibility: that a young man simply vanished without leaving so much as a tire track behind. This week, we discuss a tragedy in rural Kansas, where the truth has been missing since 1988. And somewhere in the darkness, the Devil may be watching... And the Devil can take many forms. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Devil In Kansas! 

L. Joy is back in the Office of the Citizen and for this lesson for our next lesson.

Send us Fan MailGUEST: STEVE DEACE, host of the “Steve Deace Show” and a columnist for Blaze MediaFrom the very beginning, the souls of men have been the target of a mostly unseen spiritual war. On one side stands the fallen angel Satan and the legions of demons who followed him in rebellion against God. On the other stands the perfectly holy and good God and His holy angels.The first glimpse of this war appears in the Garden of Eden. There Satan, appearing as a beautiful serpent, tempted Adam and Eve to reject God. He lied, telling them that eating from the forbidden tree would not lead to death but would make them like God, “knowing good and evil.”The primary descriptor of Satan is that he is a liar. He relentlessly and maliciously twists the truth to lead men and women astray—and ultimately to destroy them. If he can persuade someone to believe a lie—any lie—that results in their deception and death before they repent and come to saving faith in Christ, that is a victory for him.Whether the unsaved realize it or not, Satan often works through people—including nice-sounding, well-dressed, educated individuals in prominent positions—to twist the truth and lead others astray. For Christians, the ability to discern between what is true and what is false is critical. Jesus warned that as we near the end times, this discernment will only become more difficult:“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).A recent period that dramatically illustrated the need for discernment was the COVID pandemic of 2020–2022.In rapid succession, masking was urged and then mandated for everyone, including children. Later in 2020, a vaccine was released under Emergency Use Authorization as part of “Operation Warp Speed.” Young and old, including pregnant women, were expected—often through intimidation or shame—to receive an injection with no long-term history and very limited testing.For two years the country took on authoritarian characteristics. Families were barred from visiting loved ones in hospitals and care facilities. Schools, businesses, and churches were ordered closed. Citizens and members of the military lost their jobs for refusing the vaccine. Many reported that loved ones died or were injured after receiving it.It was a dark time in America—not only because of the deaths of those vulnerable to the virus, but because large portions of the population accepted and promoted falsehoods. The six-foot social-distancing guideline proved to be arbitrary. Masks were not effective at stopping transmission or contraction of the virus. And the vaccine, along with its many boosters, did not prevent people from getting COVID or spreading it to others.As the virus moved through the population, one reality became clear: the vast majority of people were not dying from it.A relatively small minority recognized the fallacies advanced by government officials, political leaders, health authorities, the media, major institutions, and even many Christian organizations, prominent leaders, and churches. They pushed back against the deception.One of those voices was Steve Deace, a radio host for Blaze Media and best-selling co-author of Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History. He joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to revisit the COVID era and discuss why Christians must become far more discerning. He will also address the Charlie Kirk trial and the conspiracy theories surrounding Kirk's assassination as yet another example of why believers need to exercise sharper critical thinking.----------------------Program Notes:Steve Deace ShowFaucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History  by Steve Deace on Amazon

China's popularity across Africa remains strong, with new Afrobarometer polling showing Beijing again outperforming the U.S. and Europe in public perception. But those favorable views are far from straightforward, shaped by perceptions of China's development success, frustration with Western powers, and Africans' own experiences with Chinese engagement.

Mark Clifford: Mark Clifford discusses the ongoing detention of British citizen and entrepreneur Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong. While China recently released a Protestant pastor, Xi Jinping reportedly remains determined that Lai, a fervent Catholic and advocate for Western values, will die in prison.

Despite the UK's new leadership focusing on domestic issues, Clifford hopes the government continues to pressure Beijing for the release of its citizen. (4)
