Starmer Says Britain Isn't Broken – Liar, Failure, and Finished Starmer #BritainBroken #LucyConnolly #IllegalImmigration #MigrantHotels #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #NigelFarage Starmer says Britain isn't broken. He's a liar, a failure, and he's finished. He's ignored illegal immigration, packed hotels with migrants, failed to smash the gangs, and put freeloaders and foreigners before Brits. The economy is collapsing, small businesses are dying, we're staring down the barrel of an IMF bailout, he's up to his neck in allegations over the Lucy Connolly case, pushing restrictions on free speech, his MPs are turning on him – and now he's attacking Nigel Farage in a political suicide mission. I expose why Starmer's time is up. #Starmer #BritainBroken #LucyConnolly #IllegalImmigration #MigrantHotels #UKPolitics #KeirStarmer #NigelFarage #EconomyCrisis #CostOfLiving #SmallBusinesses #PubsClosing #FreeSpeech #LucyConnolly #LabourParty #PoliticalCrisis #UKNews #StarmerFinished #StarmerExposed #UKEconomy #UKImmigration #BritishPolitics #StarmerLies #StarmerFailure #LabourRevolt #UKGovernment #BorderCrisis #ChannelCrossings #MigrantCrisis #UKLabour #StarmerVsFarage #StarmerUnderPressure #UKTaxCrisis #BritainInDecline #StarmerOut #EndOfStarmer #UKCostOfLiving #IMFBailout #BrokenBritain #StarmerDisaster #UKLeadershipCrisis #StarmerCollapse #StarmerAttacksFarage #UKCollapse #LucyConnollyCase #FreeSpeechUK #StarmerCensorship Starmer, BritainBroken, IMF, IllegalImmigration, MigrantHotels, UKPolitics, KeirStarmer, NigelFarage, EconomyCrisis, CostOfLiving, SmallBusinesses, PubsClosing, FreeSpeech, LucyConnolly, LabourParty, PoliticalCrisis, UKNews, StarmerFinished, StarmerExposed, UKEconomy, UKImmigration, BritishPolitics, StarmerLies, StarmerFailure, LabourRevolt, UKGovernment, BorderCrisis, ChannelCrossings, MigrantCrisis, UKLabour, StarmerVsFarage, StarmerUnderPressure, UKTaxCrisis, BritainInDecline, StarmerOut, EndOfStarmer, UKCostOfLiving, IMFBailout, BrokenBritain, StarmerDisaster, UKLeadershipCrisis, StarmerCollapse, StarmerAttacksFarage, UKCollapse, LucyConnollyCase, FreeSpeechUK, StarmerCensorship This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

It was a week headlined by crucial inflation data. The Inside Economics crew is joined by colleague Matt Colyar to dig into July's consumer price index. July's CPI was unsurprising, but that doesn't mean it was good.

Finally, some loquacious responses to a handful of listener questions.

A variety of economic, environmental, and regional factors have pushed the number of cost-burdened households to a new peak in 2023.

Send us a textWhat if the perfect expat destination for Americans isn't Portugal or Costa Rica, but South Africa? A country where your dollars stretch four times further, world-class healthcare costs pennies on the dollar, and English is widely spoken across breathtaking landscapes from cosmopolitan Cape Town to the wild savannas.South Africa represents a compelling paradox for potential American expats. The affordability is staggering—nice apartments from $430-1100 monthly, excellent wine under $5, and private doctor visits for $20—creating luxury-level living on modest budgets. Yet this financial advantage exists alongside complex social dynamics, occasional infrastructure challenges, and a bureaucracy that moves at its own distinctive pace.This episode breaks down everything Americans need to know about relocating to South Africa: multiple visa pathways for retirees, remote workers, entrepreneurs and skilled professionals; the remarkable two-tier healthcare system; cultural integration in a country with eleven official languages; safety considerations beyond the headlines; and paths to permanent residency. Through conversation with American expat Heather Mason, who has lived in Johannesburg for 15 years, we explore both practical details and the intangible rewards that keep expatriates in South Africa long-term.Is South Africa right for everyone? Absolutely not. But for Americans seeking affordability without sacrificing quality of life, who value natural beauty and cultural richness over perfect infrastructure, and who approach new experiences with patience and openness—this overlooked destination might just be the answer.

This week on “Henssler Money Talks,” we examine the implications of Donald Trump's firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after the release of weaker-than-expected jobs data. Critics argue the move threatens the credibility of U.S. economic reporting, but are inconsistent readings just a byproduct of the antiquated ways they collect their data and dwindling survey response rates? As the cost of living continues to climb, we break down SmartAsset's latest findings on the salary needed to live comfortably in each U.S. state. From Hawaii's sky-high income thresholds to West Virginia's relative affordability, we explore what these findings mean for individuals, families, and long-term financial planning—especially as median wages fall short of what it now takes to get by.After the break, we turn our focus to annuities, providing our take on these investment products. Furthermore, should a retiree put 25% of their assets into an annuity to help with Required Minimum Distributions? We'll walk through the essential questions to ask, from the type of annuity being recommended to how it fits into a comprehensive financial plan.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

Hot Springs Village isn't the perfect fit for everyone — and that's okay.Recently, I spoke with two couples who realized pretty quickly that the Village wasn't right for them. One was looking for more acreage and a deeper “country living” feel. The other preferred a different political climate — something much more liberal. I was genuinely happy they figured it out early. But for many of us, Hot Springs Village is ideal. One of the biggest reasons, especially for retirees (or those of us past retirement age who haven't quite retired), is the cost of living. In today's episode, I'll walk you through our actual year-to-date expenses living inside the Village. This is just one example — your numbers may look different. But hopefully, seeing our real-world costs will help you evaluate whether life in Hot Springs Village makes sense for you. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to help you get it right. • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________

The debate over butter prices has National on the back foot, and the party is accusing the opposition of having no ideas - a seeming reversal from about this time in the last Parliamentary term. While the rhetoric from politicians has so far resulted in little real action, it all points to a deeper concern about cost of living. Political Reporter Russell Palmer tries to clarify the situation. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
Cost-of-living politics reared its head again at Parliament, with MPs exchanging blows over soaring butter prices. Labour accused the coalition of lacking a plan, a claim immediately thrown back at it by a fired-up Christopher Luxon.

Chuck Todd begins with a rant about his beloved Washington Nationals interesting selection with the #1 overall draft pick. He pivots to the firestorm surrounding the Trump administration over their refusal to release the promised Epstein files to the public and why Trump's reality TV style of governance is colliding with actual reality. He also discusses Trump's retribution campaign having a chilling effect on dissent, the ongoing effort to fire Fed chairman Jay Powell, and highlights a troubling trend for Democrats.Then, Chuck is joined by congresswoman Brittany Pettersen, who offers an insider's perspective on the challenges facing both Congress and her swing district in Colorado. The conversation begins with her advocacy for modernizing congressional rules, particularly around proxy voting for pregnant members, before diving into broader structural issues plaguing the institution. Pettersen argues that Congress has become increasingly dysfunctional due to the consolidation of power in leadership and the erosion of legislative authority, making it especially difficult for women and minority party members to effectively serve their constituents.The discussion covers a wide range of policy challenges, from the housing crisis and healthcare access to immigration reform and climate change. Pettersen emphasizes the need for massive federal investment in housing rather than tax incentives, warns that Trump's policies will exacerbate the housing crisis, and predicts that the homeowners insurance industry will force Congress to act on climate change. She also tackles the politically sensitive topic of immigration, arguing that outdated policies have worsened border security issues and that comprehensive reform would be the best way to address rising costs. Throughout the conversation, Pettersen stresses the importance of transparency in government spending, believing voters deserve to know exactly what services are sacrificed when tax cuts are implemented.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding Trump administration salaries, third party candidates in presidential elections and the immigration bill that never received a vote.

Episode 96. For the current generation of young workers in Canada, the feeling that housing and everything else is a little more expensive than the prior generation is present. Why?In this episode of the Lifetime at Work Podcast, host Greg Martin interviews Paul Musson, a Canadian investor with a 25-year career at Mackenzie Investments. They discuss Paul's journey from his early days in Montreal to his retirement from mutual funds and his current endeavors, including his blog, podcast, and newly released book, Capital Offense: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense.

Discover what salary people said lets them live comfortably. Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle. If you only knew where to invest for the long-term, what a difference it would make, because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!
