There is a very senior, well-paid civil servant, working in the higher echelons of the Northern Ireland Civil Service. Only a handful of officials work at that level and with every one of these individuals we are entitled to know who they are, what they do and what they are paid – but not when it comes to one man. Or is it a woman? We don't know. The Belfast Telegraph's Northern Ireland Editor Sam McBride has discovered a top-mandarin that we know nothing about - a secret civil servant. The taxpayer is not allowed to know what they do, not allowed to know how much they are paid and not even allowed to know what their name is. Sam McBride joins Ciarán Dunbar on the BelTel to explain this bizarre story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Preview for Later Today: Joseph Sternberg examines the Lord Mandelson scandal and the appointment of an "unfit" ambassador. The controversy highlights the outsized power of British civil servants, who can bypass elected politicians. Prime Minister Starmer claims civil servants failed to report vetting red flags, raising questions about government accountability.1901 OLD HOUSE

Peter Mandelson's appointment as ambassador by Sir Keir Starmer to the US was a rush-job, carried out under an 'atmosphere of pressure' from 10 Downing Street and a 'dismissive attitude' to security vetting. That's the claim of Sir Olly Robbins, the sacked head of the foreign office as he was grilled by parliament's foreign affairs committee. So, is it now clear what happened behind the scenes? No 10 denies Robbins' characterisation of events, but could this still be damning for Starmer's premiership or has the PM's decision to sack his senior mandarin been vindicated?On this episode of the Fourcast, Paul McNamara was joined by Labour MP Preet Kour Gill and also by one of Olly Robbins predecessors as head of the foreign office Lord Ricketts and former Labour advisor and political commentator Sonia Sodha.

The recently sacked Olly Robbins was called before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee this morning where he outlined what he knew and when during the appointment of Peter Mandelson to Washington. Ava and Andy spell out what his answers mean for the Prime Minister and his chances of hanging on.Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

George Parker, Financial Times Political Editor, on the latest into the former UK Ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson.

Brigadier General Michael Meese details the critical decisions military families must make before retirement. Transitioning into retirement is a major life change for anyone. But for military families, that transition isn't just about leaving a job. It's about moving from one entire system of life into another. As Brigadier General Michael Meese explained, this shift requires more than just paperwork. It requires understanding your benefits, your options, and your goals—before the transition begins. “Understanding all of the military benefits and the circumstance that you’re in… and then aligning that with the goals that you might have” is essential to getting this right. That alignment is where good planning begins. Why Military Transitions Are Different Most civilian career changes are relatively straightforward. You move from one company to another, often with similar systems, benefits, and expectations. But transitioning out of the military is fundamentally different. You're not just changing jobs. You're shifting from a structured environment—with defined benefits, systems, and support—into a civilian world where many of those decisions are now your responsibility. That's why preparation matters so much. This isn't something you want to figure out for the first time when someone puts paperwork in front of you. You want to understand your options before that moment arrives. The Decisions That Matter Most There are several things that all former service members and their families need to evaluate before jumping into retirement. The Survivor Benefit Plan One of the most important decisions is whether to elect the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). This plan provides ongoing income to a surviving spouse, but it comes with trade-offs. While this benefit is valuable, it doesn't fully replace income: The maximum your survivor can get is a 55% payout once you're gone. How confident are you that your survivor's bills will drop by more than 45% when you're gone? That means SBP should be viewed as part of a broader plan—not the entire solution. Coordinating SBP with Social Security, savings, and other assets is essential to ensuring a surviving spouse is truly protected. Life Insurance Decisions Another key transition happens with life insurance. Many service members are covered under SGLI (Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance) while on active duty. After leaving the military, they may transition to VGLI (Veterans' Group Life Insurance). But that transition often comes with higher costs. The key insight is that timing matters. If you're in good health, you may be able to secure more affordable coverage through private insurance—but that process takes time and underwriting. That's why planning ahead is critical. You don't want to wait until after separation to explore your options. Don't Overlook Your TSP The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is another major asset for many service members. One of its biggest advantages is cost. It offers low expenses and access to unique investment options like the G Fund, which provides a stable return without the same price volatility as traditional bonds. That makes it a valuable component of a retirement strategy—even after leaving the military. The key decision isn't simply whether to keep money in the TSP or move it elsewhere. It's understanding how it fits into your overall plan. Advocate for Yourself Another important topic in the conversation was VA disability benefits. These benefits are designed to compensate service members for conditions developed during their time in the military. But receiving them requires active participation. This is a moment where service members need to shift their mindset: You've taken care of everybody else. It's time to make sure you get that disability determination. This isn't about taking advantage of the system. It's about receiving the benefits you've earned. Preparation Is the Advantage One of the most powerful insights from the episode came from a military principle itself. Preparation. When I was in ROTC training, a significant portion of time was spent preparing and rehearsing before any action took place. That same mindset applies to retirement. You don't want to improvise your transition. You want to prepare for it. Because when you understand your benefits, align them with your goals, and make decisions ahead of time, you reduce the chances of regret. And that's the goal. Not just to retire—but to transition with confidence into the next chapter of life. Don't forget to leave a rating for the “Retire Today” podcast if you've been enjoying these episodes!

In 1770 a weird and amazing machine known as "The Chess Machine," or "The Mechanical Turk," was created by Civil Servant and Engineer Wolfgang von Kempelen. He claimed it could play chess as an automated machine, and indeed it played and defeated many talented players and well-known people, including Napolean and Benjamin Franklin. This device kicked off the type of thinking that influenced the development of the computer, and probably even AI. Unfortunately it was all a hoax...

Exposed again. An important call now exists on video. Federal civil employees, living on tax payer dollars, are working hard to circumvent our Constitution. Pay attention DOJ. Does a union for tax funded jobs make sense? There are laws covering civil service. This video should justify decertification of their federal employee union. These people are launching Influence operations against citizens. When your fight is gone, the team no longer needs you. Tiny violins rule.We watch taxpayer funded campaigns and collective action. They organized the shutdown showdown. Sabotage, slowing down government, delaying segments, MSM will never discuss this. They are part of the operation. G4P meets to plan an overthrow of the government. False flags and mass casualty events for public control. What were the goals of the Aussie operation? Exposing deception makes people angry. Distributing subversion to cover it up. Is this emergency governance or abuse of power? These are tough times for military parents. Obama, DHS and influence operations. We all must learn to forgive those who have hurt us, although it could be the hardest move of all.

Is it a good idea to give firearms training to government workers? What does this say about how unprepared and unserious we are about protecting our borders? And is there a case to be made that now is the right time to introduce mandatory national service in Canada? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to the Epstein files and a release of documents with new revelations about the close connection between Epstein and President Trump. The documents also surfaced other prominent names including Peter Mendelson and Larry Summers. Why do these powerful and influential people think the rules don't apply to them? Will the revelations about Trump's closeness to Epstein loosen his iron grip over the Republican Party? And finally, should the President's downward trajectory and low favourability influence how we in Canada engage in trade negotiations with the U.S.?

Ruth was born in Paris, France, in the 1960's, to parents who were in the armed forces and were stationed there.For most of her career, she has been a Civil Servant, working predominantly investigating theft and fraud and latterly harassment, bullying and discrimination. She is also an accredited and very experienced Workplace Mediator.She has a fascination for the paranormal which has lasted a lifetime - and read extensively on the subject looking for answers after living in two seriously haunted houses with poltergeist activity in her formative years. Her investigative mind means she is fascinated by the endless possible answers to the questions posed by people experiencing phenomena, and dreamed for years of writing her own books on the subject.When she partially retired in 2016, she found the time to start writing, and has so far produced three works on the subject - The Ghosts of Marston Vale January 2017, The Almanac of British Ghosts December 2017 and The Roadmap of British Ghosts January 2019. By interviewing witnesses herself, she hopes to add to the data available so that someone, somewhere, one day, will be able to answer the question - "Do ghosts exist?

The Trump chaos has brought a key constitutional principle to the fore: What happens when bureaucrats believe the president is not living up to his pledge to the Constitution?

And - should schoolgirls in NI have the right to wear trousers as part of their uniform?

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we examine sweeping changes in the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division under the Trump administration. Reporter Sam Levine joins host Jessica Levinson to discuss how the division, long tasked with enforcing voting rights and other protections, has seen over 70% of its attorneys depart amid a shift in priorities toward the president's agenda. The episode explores what this means for civil rights enforcement, voter protections, and whether former DOJ lawyers can fill the gap by taking their expertise into private practice.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Role and Function of the DOJ Civil Rights Division and Voting Section: The conversation starts with an explanation of what the Civil Rights Division within the Department of Justice (DOJ) does. It is tasked with enforcing America's civil rights laws—including the Voting Rights Act—and consists of 11 sections dealing with various aspects of civil rights (voting, housing, education, anti-discrimination). Impact of Administrative Changes on DOJ Priorities: A significant theme is how changes in presidential administrations can redirect the focus and priorities of the DOJ and its sections—especially the Voting Section. While career attorneys (not political appointees) do most of the day-to-day work, political appointees set overarching priorities. Normally, shifts happen between administrations, but under the Trump administration, changes were described as “radical departures,” shifting focus to investigate noncitizen voting and prioritizing policies aligned with the president rather than traditional civil rights enforcement.Dismissal of Civil Servants and Dismantling of the Voting Section: The episode highlights the mass removal of senior civil servants in the Voting Section under Trump's administration, replacing experienced managers and ordering the dismissal of all active cases. This unprecedented action is portrayed as a clear signal of political influence overriding apolitical legal work—and is said to undermine the department's ability to fulfill its civil rights mandate.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica@srl

Led by the Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE, Americans are debating once again how our government should hire civil servants, but are we asking the right questions? In this episode, we dive into a compelling new study on the Pendleton Act, one of the most significant bureaucratic reforms in U.S. history, which introduced merit-based civil service exams to combat corruption and incompetence. But did it work?We speak with economist Santiago Perez about his paper “Civil Service Exams and Organizational Performance: Evidence From The Pendleton Act” and his surprising findings that while the reform did help hire more qualified and stable employees, it didn't clearly improve government efficiency. Also, what unintended consequences may have emerged, such as manipulation of salary thresholds and persistent power dynamics among political appointees.So, what can the Pendleton Act teach us about modern bureaucracy, accountability, and fairness? And could reintroducing merit-based exams actually fix today's polarized and politicized civil service—or make it even worse?

Michael Lewis, acclaimed author of The Big Short, Moneyball and The Fifth Risk joins Lovett to discuss his most recent book, Who is Government? Lewis and his coauthors profile the civil servants whose thankless and unglamorous work prevents mines from collapsing, castaways from drowning, and rare diseases from killing people. He and Jon talk about why it's so important to break down the “bureaucrat” stereotype right now, why Lewis is convinced Elon Musk has no idea how to run DOGE, and what leads the people he writes about to stand up to Trump or succumb to their personal ambition. To enjoy ad-free episodes of Pod Save America, and more, subscribe to our Friends of the Pod Community now at crooked.com/friends or directly on Apple Podcasts!

Romance is making the studio a thick humid erotic soup. Elis will send Isy a text saying “well done”. And John's Love Heart that says “new love” on it has broken in half; a sign that pagans would have interpreted as coming crop failure.But John is in love. In love with a new beau... the Top Shows Podcast Chart. He's also had the greatest match with a woman of all time… his mortgage broker.

We're back with another Q&A show, with a bit of a DB Pension tilt this time, though we even get into a question on equity release. We cover lots of ground, as always - hope it's useful! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA5  00:55  As you made a request for questions I thought I'd pose this (apologies in advance for the length, feel free to trim as required): I am single, mid-forties, with no dependents (I do have some family I plan to pass wealth on to, but when they need it rather than leaving it in my estate). I'm aiming for the mystical die with zero. As a home owner, and given I'm not worried about passing it on, would it be a good idea to start drawing on the capital locked up in my home via drawdown equity release (using say home reversion) before the investments in my pension and ISAs given this is the most illiquid and concentrated of my assets? Downsizing isn't really an option to release capital (it's a two-bed semi so property doesn't get much smaller). That said equity release looks to offer rates well below the market value (apparently they want to make a profit), certainly if you're on the younger end of the eligibility spectrum. It's far from the case of selling 50% of the house and getting that amount, even spread over a number of years. I could sell the house myself and rent instead, using the released money to pay the rent (and if the money is invested, provided my rent doesn't rise egregiously, it might even stay ahead of that cost). Though there are potential issues with that approach, certainly over the long term. Are there any other ways to unlock the capital tied up in my property? Regards, Lee   10:20  Hello Pete and Roger. I work in public sector and have a decent DB pension, larger part being final salary and lesser part CARE. I will be able to commute up to 25% with a commutation factor of about 24:1. Which will give me about £180,000 depending on when I leave. Upon retirement I will seek to move most into a 100% equities investment wrapper, I'm fairly happy with proportionate risk, as my DB pension will provide a life long index linked safety net, and I will also build a bit of cash ladder of declining risk. I have recently watched your ISA v Pension comparison with keen interest. It was fascinating to see that even though a pension is taxed, the tax relief going in, offset the tax going out, and the option of having both works particularly well in terms of tax efficiency and retirement planning. I had been putting a modest amount into a S&S ISA each month for the last few years, but recently opened a SIPP and am now sending the spare cash that way for the extra tax relief. It's very satisfying seeing the “free money” coming in each month.. I can potentially retire in 2 years at 55 with an actuarial reduction or continue working until 60, or retire sometime in between. I also have a preserved DB pension that I can take at 60 from a previous employer. In the mean time I want to keep saving and investing, and will try to ramp it up for next few years. My question is – It was pretty clear from your numbers that those with a DC pot are best with both ISA & SIPP in terms of tax efficiency and flexibility, but given that my DB pension will use up all my personal tax allowance, does that swing the momentum on where to invest back in favour of an ISA over a SIPP, as other than the 25% tax free element, I would pay basic rate tax on all my SIPP drawdown.  I'm sure other people with either a modest DB pension or secondary passive income could find themselves in similar quandary.  ( I'm aware all could change after the next budget. )   I live up north, houses are cheap as chips, therefore IHT unlikely to be a major concern in terms of decedents. Chris   16:47  Loving the sultry combination of the north and south tones! I've been listening to the podcast for several years now, and you've given me loads of practical tips that I've been able to take forward. However, I've recently received an ADHD diagnosis, and while I earn a good salary, my impulsivity often leads to overspending, and I'm finding it difficult to maintain control over my finances. I have a monthly planner that I check regularly with the bills, so they are ok, but on spending it is always difficult, and I often dip into credit card usage. I would really appreciate any advice or practical tips you could offer for someone like me, who struggles with impulsive spending with a disability. Things like “just don't spend money” just don't work! Are there any specific strategies, tools, or approaches that can help someone with neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, to manage their money more effectively? Thanks again for the amazing content you put out. Looking forward to any guidance you can provide. Best regards, Ian   22:53  My question / suggestion relates to listeners with Defined Benefit (DB) pensions. Although they're becoming rarer, there is still a sizeable minority of people who have DB pensions. I suspect the majority of them are (or have previously been) employees in the public sector – but they'll run to quite a high number. For instance, there are 1.5 million current employees in the NHS, half-a-million Civil Servants, half-a-million teachers, Police, Fire Fighters etc etc. Double that to allow for all the former employees, plus those with DB pensions in the private sector, and you're talking decent numbers. I've learned a lot over recent years from your Podcast, but there have been a number of occasions where you've alluded to the fact that financial planning advice might differ for folk with DB pensions. One example might be the topic of opening a separate SIPP (in addition to the DB pension) to supplement retirement income (or to fund early retirement) or to move money outside the person's estate. Another example might be the balance of ISA versus Pension: with some DB schemes, the benefit of “topping-up” is reduced compared with those in DC pensions. In many cases the employer isn't adding “free money” to your pot, so for many there may be more reason to lean towards ISA contributions. Another difference might be the topic of investment risk – if someone with a DB pension has a guaranteed inflation-proof income in retirement, might they be wise to consider higher risk investments? And certainly without the dreaded “profiling”. Another example (as alluded to earlier) might be in Estate Planning: with a DB pensions, there's no “pot” of invested money lying outside one's estate, so there's no IHT advantage. I realise this might amount to more than just a 5-minute topic for your Q&A edition, but I think you'd have enough listers to make a whole episode for DB pension recipients. What to you reckon? Thanks for all the great advice. Best wishes, Dr Pete   29:43  Thank you for all of your support over the years through the podcast and YouTube. I work for the NHS which is very tough at the moment but it does give me the benefit of a defined benefit pension when I get there. I am 35 years old but am wanting to make sure I am saving enough for retirement but also to make sure that I have enough for my children to support them through university and starting life! My wife is a fantastic stay at home Mum. We are aiming to have the “comfy” level of retirement at £58000 that you have previously mentioned which should give us some capacity to support the children! I earn £58000 plus about £7000 as a side hustle. I save into my NHS pension, save about 50% of the side hustle income into a SIPP, and save around £400 into a S&S ISA and £200 into cash savings each month. There are lots of examples about how much you should save but I haven't found anything when you are part of the NHS/other DB pension. Am I saving enough, or too much? I don't want to miss out on life now by over saving! Thanks, Alex   36:13  Enjoying listening to another excellent podcast where I heard the shout out for questions. One I had is “what's the best tax efficient way to save for kids futures? I started going down the path of saving into JISA's, but then didn't like the idea of being unable to access the money on their behalf, or them to do so before 18. I contribute to premium bonds, but theoretically that will be capped at £50k (here's hoping!). Any other obvious good suggestions?” Thanks & keep it up, continue to love the show. Cheers, Chris

President-elect Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, faced questions on Capitol Hill. He was pressed about plans to exert greater power over government agencies and shrinking spending. Vought previously led the office for part of Trump's first term and is also a co-author of Project 2025. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Molly Redden, reporter covering national politics at ProPublica, and Andy Kroll, reporter covering voting, elections, & democracy at ProPublica, to discuss their piece of reporting entitled “Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader's Plans for a New Trump Agenda. First, Sam runs through updates on the final six days to the US election, early voting numbers, RFK's ballot problems, Trump's threat to Police over mass deportations, the US economy, Israel's en masse slaughter of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, and Elon Musk v. the NLRB, before briefly touching on the role of Kamala Harris' identity in voters' support of/aversion to her. Molly Redden and Andy Kroll then join, diving right into who Russell Vought is in the context of Trump's first administration (Director of the Office of Management and Budget), current campaign (policy director of the RNC platform committee), and the SUPPOSEDLY unrelated Project 2025 (co-author), before touching on the role he played in the evolution of the Trump team's knowledge of the administrative state, and – more importantly – how to dismantle it. Expanding on that latter element, Redden and Kroll parse through the first Trump administration's learning process in how to manage (and mismanage) the executive branch, forcing them to rely on career civil servants at the start who, annoyingly, cared about the work they were doing, before slowly pushing them out as Trump loyalists began to understand what they were doing, with a particular focus on the danger Trump's “Schedule F” poses to any remaining committed civil servants in the executive branch should he return to office. After tackling Russell Vought's outspoken support for the complete “traumatization” of these workers on their way out, Sam, Molly, and Andy look to the extensive plan Trump's team (and their Project 2025 buddies) have for a radical executive intervention beginning day 1 (should he become President), including relevant regulations and legal justifications, before they wrap up the interview by tackling what we can do (electorally and otherwise) to stop a second Trump Administration. And in the Fun Half: Sam reads Kowalski's reflections on a Nebraska Town Hall, JD Vance takes offense at people taking offense to being called “garbage” before going on to take offense to being called “garbage,” and Sandy from Ontario touches on Canada's recent elections. Derrick from Virginia objects to how MR has painted his campaign, Bruce from North Carolina on local feelings heading into the election, and Donald Trump discusses why we don't all have to get along. Hannity runs cover for Trump's fascist rally, Elon Musk continues to be a tiny sniveling weasel, and Rich from Missouri dives into the GOP's use of “ballot candy” to mislead and lure voters. Dave Rubin has some election theories, Charles from Virginia explores what an insurrection would look like without Trump in office, Jack from St. Louis on Missouri's judges, and Mike Johnson says the GOP has a healthcare plan. The MR Crew also watches Robbie Roadsteamer beautifully take the piss out of Steve Bannon and Hulk Hogan, plus, your calls and IMs!
