London-based photographer and writer Michael Collins talks about: The flat where he's lived for 35 years, which is getting ‘Wallace & Gromit' crowded; how he keeps film in his deep freeze (aka freezer) as opposed to anything edible, and how he's happy to shop for the day, while he points out that Brits see American refrigerators and are overwhelmed by how large they are; and by the way, we're also bludgeoned by advertising here, compared with the UK and Europe; how he sees our social media consumption as giving in to the impulsive at the expense of the rational, a battle he gives in to daily for a half hour on IG…and how sometimes, you just want to look at a panda falling out of a tree; why readers (of books) make better viewers of artworks; how when his photographs are printed at full scale (4 x 5 feet) you can walk into them and how part of photography's schtick is that it's nosy, that it admits everything in it; his takeaways from giving a presentation at the Hampstead Photographic Society, in which have the members bolted for the door at the break; the importance of 19th century photography to understanding the history of photography, and how it's not shown enough in museums (at least in London); how he started studying politics, but switched over to art, initially stumbling into photography as an editor at a teenage girl's magazine, then moving to The Observer, and then he became picture editor at the Daily Telegraph, where he realized, amidst a more rushed editorial structure that went with predictable stock photographers, that the most interesting photography was not there to fulfill another's agenda, but in pursuit of independence, to fulfill its own agenda.  This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of our conversation (available on Patreon), Michael talks about: The challenges of evolving and following your own path at the expense of taking the more marketable route, which means maintaining your integrity, and how his photographs, and his writing are both better than ever; the complex and fulfilling experience he had visiting and re-visiting a Jeff Wall museum exhibition; how the photographer Martin Parr dominates the scene in Britain, and how all his pictures look roughly the same, and yet he's kind of this hero in the country, through the ‘steamroll of publicity,' and how there's far more depth, wealth and nuance out there than we're being allowed…; his first art review (for The Daily Telegraph), of Andreas Gursky's exhibition at Tate Liverpool, which uncovered a surprising digital edit, one he was turned on to by one of the museum custodians, and when he wrote the review that included his misgivings about the work, the Tate press office told him he was being cruel (to which he replied, “that's not being cruel, that's being honest”), and how another artist's agent threatened to sue for a negative review; our respective takes on art writing and criticism, in terms of what he appreciates vs. can't tolerate, and what I appreciate and can't tolerate; more about the world of magazine editing, which he describes as being a lifetime ago…; and finally, to wind down our conversation, we talk about his book, Blind Corners, which features several essays exploring across the spectrum of photography and photography's history; in particular we review a passage where he compares Americana via Kodachrome and Hollywood light with the dull, austere light of Britain, and he goes on to call out Dubai as the culmination of late capitalism.

Episode Summary: Freedom, tolerance, and human dignity only exist in Christian nations. In this episode, we dive into Tory (Conservative) Member of Parliament Danny Kruger's viral speech on England's Christian foundations, exploring the myth of public neutrality and the consequences of abandoning a moral anchor. From parish life and common law to the sanctity of life and public office, we trace how Christian ideas shaped institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong—and why leaving that framework vacant invites new “gods” to take their place.We examine the moral vacuum Kruger identifies: the rise of secular ideologies, the growth of Islam in Britain, and the hybrid “woke” creed mixing pagan revivals, Christian heresies, and modernist power theories. Rather than caricatures, we look at what these forces do to families, schools, and civic trust, and why a politics of grievance cannot sustain a free society. Along the way, we wrestle with difficult issues—late-term abortion, assisted dying, and repentance in public life—while charting a path for Christians to reclaim moral authority in politics and culture.From Alfred to Wesley to Wilberforce, history shows that revival can transform nations when the Church acts as the nation's conscience. This conversation invites listeners to take ownership of the ideas, responsibilities, and institutions we inherit—and consider what it will take to restore freedom, truth, and hope for future generations.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Președintele american și-a prezentat luni, 29 septembrie, planul de a pune capăt războiului din Gaza. Textul prevede în special eliberarea ostaticilor și instituirea unei guvernări palestiniene de tranziție. Comentatorii atrag atenția asupra slăbiciunilor acestui document. Pentru Le Monde, „însăși arhitectura acestui plan de pace dezvăluie slăbiciuni evidente, începând cu absența unui calendar obligatoriu pentru o retragere israeliană”. Un alt element problematic: „punctul central, nespecificat, privește demilitarizarea enclavei, prezentată ca fiind o certitudine, în timp ce pentru Hamas ar însemna o formă de sabotaj final”. The Conversation atrage atenția asupra unui risc important: lipsa de încredere. ”În acest moment, nu există nicio încredere între părți. Și mai multe aspecte ale planului sunt atât de vagi, încât există un risc mare ca ambele părți să se acuze reciproc de încălcarea promisiunilor. Netanyahu presupune probabil că vor exista suficiente portițe pentru ca el să poată ieși din acord dacă Hamas nu îl respectă. El a făcut deja acest lucru o dată, când a renunțat la armistițiu în martie și a reluat operațiunile militare”. Ziarul belgian Le Soir este de părere că ”unul dintre defectele evidente este că planul prevede pași individuali, cum ar fi retragerea treptată a armatei israeliene, dar fără un calendar. Incidentele de la fața locului ar putea servi rapid drept pretext pentru ca Israelul să blocheze totul. (...) Cât despre Hamas, acesta trebuie să răspundă unui ultimatum ciudat: să se sinucidă sau să suporte mânia mortală a Israelului. ... Și trebuie să elibereze toți ostaticii - pe care îi consideră ultimele sale resurse - în termen de trei zile și să spere că Israelul își va ține cuvântul și nu va încerca să amâne sau chiar să saboteze acordul.” The Daily Telegraph vede multe asemănări cu acordul care a pus capăt conflictului din Irlanda de Nord: „Acordul din Vinerea Mare, care a adus pacea în Irlanda de Nord, a fost cea mai mare realizare din politica britanică din ultimii 30 de ani. Elementul central al ambelor planuri este «dinamismul» lor. În loc să ofere un set fix de propuneri de tipul «accepți sau nu », acestea oferă recompense care cresc de-a lungul anilor. Prin acest mecanism, încrederea - și, sperăm, pacea - se construiește nu prin cuvinte, ci prin acțiuni în timp. O altă caracteristică comună planului din Irlanda de Nord este ideea unei amnistii pentru teroriști.”

On a warm, overcast summer's day of 1901, two English school mistresses strolled through the gardens of Versailles, unaware they were about to step into a defining moment in their lives. One minute in the present and the next in the past, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain claimed to have crossed into a spectral vision of the court of Marie Antoinette. What began as a genteel outing quickly turned uncanny, with silent figures, oppressive stillness, and an inexplicable sense of dread creeping over their heads. Was it imagination, delusion, a ghostly breach in reality or simply a fancy dress party run amok?SOURCES Morison, Elizabeth & Lamont, Frances & (1913) The Adventure. Macmillan & Co. LTD. London, UK.

With Parliament in recess till mid-October, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC reflect on a number of issues which have dominated the headlines over the past week.     After a brief apology from Tim for misquoting in last week's episode Lord Hermer's evidence to the House of Lords Constitution Committee on the issue of reform of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Ken and Tim discuss what may lie behind the Director of Public Prosecutions' (DPP) decision suddenly to drop serious charges of spying for China contrary to the Official Secrets Act 1911 against Christopher Berry and Christopher Cash only a few weeks before they were due to stand trial at the Old Bailey – was it because of the legal difficulty in proving that China was an “enemy” State?  Or, more likely, was it because the DPP concluded that his duty of disclosure to secure a fair trial meant he had to disclose material which the Security Services were unwilling to reveal for reasons of national security?     They then debate the interview with Dr Mike Hall on The Trial of Lucy Letby Podcast conducted by Daily Mail journalists Liz Hull and Caroline Cheetham – instructed by Lucy Letby's defence team as an expert in neonatal medicine, Dr Hall attended every day of Letby's 10 month trial but was ultimately not called as a defence witness for what he concludes were “tactical reasons”.  He attacks what he calls “the game of law” which meant, in his view, that the jury were deprived of crucial alternative expert evidence which may have undermined the prosecution's medical case on causation.  Ken then lays into the extraordinary behaviour of tech behemoth Meta in defending its use of back-to school pictures of schoolgirls as young as 13 to promote its Threads site as “bait” to attract adult male followers.      The duo conclude with a less than complimentary review of an article in the Daily Telegraph by former Tory Attorney General Sir Michael Ellis KC where he sets out his 10 ways to save the UK from the road to ruin.  Is Ellis simply a fool to be ignored or should his ideas be taken seriously as yet another indication of the rise of radical right-wing populism?    ---    Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.   What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?  Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.     Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.   Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law.   Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.    Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape.     If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today in Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

Hulya Mehmet is a thought leader in children's communication, a pioneering speech and language therapist, and a transformative author. With over 25 years of clinical experience and personal insight as a parent, she understands the confusion, fear, and frustration that families, educators, and professionals face when a child or individual isn't communicating in expected ways. Too often, parents are told to “wait and see.” Educators and workplaces lack the tools to respond. Neurodivergent individuals are misunderstood or sidelined. Hulya is changing that. In 2004, she founded Articulate Kids, a specialist practice delivering compassionate, evidence-based speech therapy to individuals with complex communication needs — including autism and ADHD. Her work has helped thousands of children and young people communicate, thrive, and reach their full potential, often after other services have run out of answers.As a powerful advocate for neurodiversity and a voice for systems-level change, Hulya challenges outdated models and promotes more inclusive thinking across education, healthcare and business. She also works with organisations and corporate teams to develop neuroinclusive cultures — helping leaders better understand, support and retain neurodivergent talent. Her recently launched debut book, Why Isn't My Child Talking?, is already recognised as a must-read for those navigating communication differences. Her thought leadership has been featured in The Daily Telegraph, and she consults widely with schools, businesses, and institutions. As a trained leadership coach, she brings strategic insight to communication and inclusion at every level. Hulya is part of a growing movement that's changing the way we think about neurodivergent people, not as problems to fix, but as individuals with untapped strengths, insights, and potential. Her work is helping to reshape the landscape across education, healthcare, and business, ensuring communication is not a barrier but a bridge. She's committed to building a world where all individuals — regardless of how they express themselves — are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.In this episode, we discover the following:The importance of communication in order to connect.What is the most effective way to connect with ourselves and others?How to become more authentic in our leadership.How to move from confusion to clarity.With podcast host Mark SephtonHope you'll enjoy the episode!

Robin Aitken is a former BBC journalist, author, and contributor to The Daily Telegraph. In this episode, he discusses his chapter in the book "The BBC: After the licence fee?"We discuss the BBC's internal culture, its approach to impartiality, the representation of religious perspectives, its coverage of events such as Brexit, audience trust in the BBC and factors affecting licence fee payments.“There is an assumption in the BBC, broadly speaking, that public is always better than private; that a social democratic government anywhere in the world is always going to be preferable to what the BBC often terms ‘Far Right,' and the way that they use those terms is itself such a giveaway.”Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatchTo support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.

In an entirely predictable turn of events, just twenty four hours after publicly backing the US Ambassador, Keir Starmer has now sacked Peter Mandelson after "additional information" came to light about the nature of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.Whilst it could, and perhaps should, mean that Mandelson's long political career has been brought to an end, it also reflects just as badly on the Prime Minister's judgement in appointing him in the first place, and then deciding to support him in the face of the Daily Telegraph's investigations. Camilla and Tim ask whether the Prime Minister, who so readily promoted his integrity whilst in opposition, still has any left.They also speak to the Chair of Republicans Overseas, Greg Swenson, about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, and ask whether conservative values are under attack.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Charlotte HocquetExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

La viceprimera ministra del Reino Unido, Angela Rayner, dimitió este viernes tras admitir que había declarado mal a Hacienda la compra de una vivienda en la localidad costera de Hove, a más de 400 kilómetros de su circunscripción en el Gran Manchester. El error le reportó el beneficio de ahorrarse unos 46.000 euros en impuestos. El diario Daily Telegraph había publicado la exclusiva unos días antes y, tras una investigación en el seno del Gobierno, se concluyó que era cierto y a Rayner no le quedó otra salida que presentar su renuncia a Keir Starmer. Rayner pertenecía al círculo cercano de Starmer. Es de origen humilde y dedicó buena parte de su carrera a los sindicatos. Tras ello se convirtió en uno de los rostros más reconocibles del ala izquierda del partido Laborista. Rayner es, por ejemplo, una gran defensora de subir los impuestos, especialmente a las rentas altas, para aliviar los problemas de déficit que arrastra el Gobierno. Paradójicamente su dimisión ha tenido que ver con una cuestión fiscal por la compra de un apartamento de lujo que le costó más un millón de euros. Para Starmer la dimisión de su número dos es un golpe más que deberá encajar en un momento especialmente delicado para él y su Gobierno. El partido Laborista obtuvo una sólida mayoría en Westminster en las elecciones del año pasado. Prometieron un nuevo tiempo caracterizado por la estabilidad después de unos años marcados por los escándalos de los sucesivos gabinetes conservadores. De eso ha pasado poco más de un año y tanto Starmer como el laborismo se encuentran hundidos en los sondeos y con la popularidad en mínimos. La salida de Rayner se produce además después de un verano muy caliente, plagado de titulares de prensa sobre el fracaso del Gobierno para detener el flujo solicitantes de asilo que cruzan el canal de la Mancha en pateras. La cuestión migratoria se complicó poco después con la sentencia de un tribunal que ordenó cerrar un hotel en Epping, una ciudad al norte de Londres, que el Gobierno había contratado para alojar inmigrantes en espera de su resolución de asilo. Rayner daba al Gobierno cierta determinación y fervor ideológico. En un gabinete formado por gente anodina y gris, a la viceprimera ministra le gustaba fajarse con los conservadores, incluso teniéndolos ya en la oposición. Gracias a ella Starmer conseguía mantener bajo control a los más izquierdistas del partido, para quienes Rayner era su principal activo. Sin ella y tras tener que sofocar una rebelión de sus diputados más radicales hace unos meses por anunciar una serie de recortes en las prestaciones sociales, Starmer tendrá que apañárselas para evitar una revuelta a mucha mayor escala que podría llegar a costarle el puesto. Rayner podría de este modo recuperar protagonismo, pero esta vez como referente de la oposición a Starmer tanto en el partido como en el parlamento si, a sus ojos, sigue moviendo su Gobierno hacia la derecha para contrarrestar el auge de Nigel Farage y su partido, Reform UK, que se encuentra ya ocho puntos por encima de los laboristas según las encuestas de intención de voto. Para tratar este tema y sus muchas implicaciones, entre las que se encuentra la suerte política del propio Starmer, vuelve Paco Muñoz a La ContraCrónica, desde un estudio que hemos improvisado en Cambridge. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.

As fresh details emerged in The Daily Telegraph about how she used NHS compensation to fund the purchase of her second home, senior Labour figures looked to be distancing themselves from the Deputy Prime Minister.Rachel Reeves made a point of telling broadcasters it is “on all of us” to understand tax rules, before No 10 refused to guarantee she would still be in post by the next general election.Camilla and Tim look at the latest developments in Rayner's tax scandal, and wonder whether she might resign imminently in order to overshadow tomorrow's Reform party conference.Elsewhere they're joined by royal expert Valentine Low, whose new book Power and the Palace - which has been making headlines for the last week - sheds a fascinating new light on the relationship between the monarchy and Downing Street.Producer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersSocial Producer: James SimmonsStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

But beyond the story, its the photos of the Deputy Prime Minister on the beach at Hove – drinking and vaping – that went viral.

Six Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in targeted strikes by Israel recently and much of the world is up in arms. On Thursday, television host Piers Morgan invited two journalists to discuss the issues and their very different takes. Jotam Confino is based in Israel and writes extensively for international media, primarily in Europe and the U.K. His commentary on this issue on social media and elsewhere has attracted significant attention and among those who took note is Piers Morgan. He invited Confino onto Uncensored last Thursday. Morgan hosts what is probably the most watched English language program dealing with current events. Confino is furious that these six journalists who worked for Al-Jazeera are being lionized as truth warriors, when they are nothing more than craven propaganda shills, in his view. Presenting a very different perspective is Jamal Elshayyal, a long-time Al-Jazeera newsman. Based on his defense of Al Jazeera editorial conduct as well as the work of his colleagues, Confino questions why he even considers himself a journalist. And Confino came to this standoff prepared. He studied the social media posts of many Al-Jazeera journalists. Elshayyal relies more upon eyerolls and dismissive expressions.Did Israel kill journalists? Or terrorist supporters paid to shill for Hamas?Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast Notes:* Link to full episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, aired Wednesday, August 14.* Social media post with footage of Al-Jazeera journalist, Anas Al Sharif - given exclusive access to film hostage Agam Berger as she was being released into Red Cross custody.

Labour have admitted to failing white, working-class children in Britain. Writing in today's Daily Telegraph, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says it's a “national disgrace” that so many pupils are being left behind, pointing to an alarming rise in school absence whilst all-important attainment figures go the other way. Having inherited a strong schools system from the Conservatives, Gordon Rayner is joined by former Tory education minister, Sir Nick Gibb, to try and understand what's gone wrong. Gibb believes Labour “didn't do the work in opposition to try and understand how to improve” and that they've been “listening to the teacher unions too closely”.Plus, Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson speak to Lawrence Newport - the co-founder of Looking for Growth, a campaign group that wants to kick-start our flailing economy. Newport, who made his start in political campaigning by getting XL bully dogs banned, says our politics is fundamentally broken, too slow and too ineffective - echoing one of his group's backers, Dominic Cummings.Read:White working-class pupils ‘written off' by society, admits PhillipsonProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Andrew MackenzieSocial Producer: James SimmonsStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells Hosted on Acast.

She then approaches the young man in the tuxedo, and brandishing a knife, proceeds to mutilate his chest with it, carving her initials into him.She then approaches him with a cellar of salt, and his terrified eyes widen as she pours it into the wound….Sounds like a bad movie?

The Royal Navy were issued with their final daily ration of rum - ending a tradition of more than 300 years - on July 31, 1970. The day became known as ‘Black Tot Day'. The demise of the long-standing tradition was mainly due to safety concerns, following fears surrounding the more complex technology now in operation across the Navy. To show their disappointment, some sailors wore black armbands. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace back the origins of this quaint custom; explain why spirits had taken the place of beer on boats; and marvel at footage of sailors who were clearly ‘pissed, in both senses of the word'...  Further Reading: • ‘Black Tot Day: rum rations for sailors abolished 45 years ago today' (Daily Telegraph, 2015): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10210966/What-became-of-the-drunken-sailor.html • ‘Black Tot Day: The end of the rum ration' (Forces Net, 2022): https://www.forces.net/services/navy/black-tot-day-end-rum-ration • ‘Black Tot Day (End of the Royal Navy Rum Ration)' (ITN, 1970): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gh5PCghfbs This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?
