Die voormalige Britse ambassadeur na Amerika, Lord Peter Mandelson, is Maandagaand gearresteer op vermoede van wangedrag in 'n openbare amp en in 'n Londense polisiestasie ondervra. Mandelson is ondersoek oor bewerings dat hy marksensitiewe regeringsinligting met sy goeie vriend Jeffrey Epstein gedeel het terwyl hy handelminister was.

After the PM's chief secretary Darren Jones set out plans to ‘move fast and fix things', we're asking, is it too late for this government to try and rewire the state ahead of the next election? And how does wholesale transformation of public services and the way Whitehall operate fit together with getting the so-called ‘barnacles off the boat' in a slimmed down operation meant to be laser-focused this year on improving the cost of living?To answer those questions and much more on Labour's attempts at civil service reform, host Alain Tolhurst is joined by Hannah Keenan, associate director at the Institute for Government and lead author of their Whitehall Monitor 2026 reportAlongside her is Alexander Iosad, Director of Government Innovation at the Tony Blair Institute, and who co-wrote their recent paper on Public-Service Reform in the Age of AI, as well as Luke Sullivan, director at Headland Consultancy, who was Keir Starmer's political director until the 2024 election, and a former special adviser in the Cabinet Office.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

In a week when Donald Trump has been escalating his threats to NATO member states over Greenland, Darren Jones was on the home front ensuring that the government's desire to transform government was also continuing. So what is the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister planning? Is it enough to meet the challenges he has identified, and what will they need to do to actually see change? We get stuck into the latest government reform plans, joined by Francis Maude, a previous minister for civil service reform. And of course it is still 2026, it is still January. So Donald Trump is still dominating all other news. We will discuss the latest challenges he has thrown at the UK government and reflect on what it means for UK-US relations, the Starmer approach to Trump diplomacy and what we learned at a special event we held this week reflecting on the President's first year back in office.

Javier Milei compartió en redes sociales un video hecho con IA en el que afirma: “El león va a rugir en Davos y toda la izquierda internacional va a temblar nuevamente. ¡La libertad avanza! ¡Viva la libertad, carajo!”.El primer ministro británico Keir Starmer señaló: “En cuanto a Groenlandia, la manera correcta de abordar un asunto de esta gravedad es mediante un diálogo sereno entre aliados. Y, seamos claros, la seguridad de Groenlandia importa, y lo será aún más a medida que el cambio climático transforme el Ártico”.Darren Jones, ministro de Interrelaciones Gubernamentales de Reino Unido, sostuvo:  “Hemos asegurado esa isla como base militar durante los próximos cien años porque es una base militar importante para el Reino Unido y sus aliados extranjeros de la OTAN, incluido Estados Unidos. Por eso, el acuerdo fue bien recibido por el presidente Trump y la administración estadounidense, ya que no solo aseguró la isla durante el próximo siglo, sino que nos brindó importantes garantías de seguridad sobre el funcionamiento de la isla y los mares cercanos. Esa es la manera correcta de asegurar el futuro de la isla, y no sugeriría ni por un segundo que Gran Bretaña debería sentirse avergonzada o humillada por ninguna de esas decisiones”.El ministro de Finanzas alemán Lars Kingbeil aseguró: “Alemania y Francia están de acuerdo. No nos dejaremos chantajear. Habrá una respuesta clara y cerrada de Europa. Y ahora estamos preparando contramedidas cerradas con nuestros socios europeos. En este caso, nos estamos preparando para que el presidente Trump mantenga su amenaza aduanera. En mi opinión, esto incluye tres puntos. El primero, el acuerdo aduanero anterior con EE. UU., que debía resolverse esta semana en el Parlamento Europeo, está congelado”.El exministro de Economía Martín Guzmán señaló: “Con este gobierno lo que hay es un déficit en la cuenta corriente. ¿Cómo se está financiando? En buena medida con deuda externa. Le tomamos deuda con el Fondo Monetario Internacional, una parte se guardó como reservas, una parte se utilizó, se intervino en el mercado cambiario. Recién ahora están comprando reservas y deuda con el Tesoro de los Estados Unidos, que después se cambió por otra deuda que, como digo, todavía no sabemos cuál es. Entonces, la deuda externa del país está subiendo. El tema de la deuda pública genera más confusión porque hay una-- un tipo de deuda que no paga intereses, sino que va acrecentando el valor del capital adeudado. Entonces, no se puede ver bien cuánto realmente son los intereses que paga el país por la deuda que emite, por unas letras capitalizables”.Noticias del martes 20 de enero por María O'Donnell y equipo de De Acá en Más por Urbana Play 104.3 FMSeguí a De Acá en Más en Instagram y XUrbana Play 104.3 FM.

Drop the excuses culture. Stop complaining about civil servants. And just get it right the first time rather than repeatedly u-turning. Wes Streeting didn't hold back at the IfG conference this week - so what does the health secretary's verdict on the government say about Keir Starmer and the challenges he and his ministers face in 2026?   Wes Streeting, Mel Stride, Darren Jones, Louise Casey, Andy Burnham, Michael Gove, Ayesha Hazarika and Ed Balls all joined the IfG Annual Conference to discuss what government is doing right, what it is getting wrong, and what it needs to do differently. We discuss the fascinating, headline-making and thought provoking day. The performance of the civil service was a theme that recurred throughout the conference. What does rewiring the state really mean? Is it even happening? What are the reforms that Whitehall really needs? This week also saw the publication of the IfG's annual Whitehall Monitor, our flagship stocktake of the size, shape and performance of the civil service. It's packed with data and analysis - and its lead author joins the podcast to tell us all about it.   Presented by Hannah White Featuring Hannah Keenan, Tim Durrant and Ben Paxton Learn more about your ad choices.

Bristol North West MP Darren Jones is a man whose political rise has been rapid.From growing up in a Lawrence Weston council flat to representing his home turf as an MP, and since September assuming a new role as Keir Starmer's chief secretary, Jones' story is rooted in Bristol. In this week's episode he talks to Neil about that journey and how his early experiences shaped his politics.But Jones' recent promotion comes as Labour faces plummeting public support in the face of policy flip-flops, challenges from Reform and, from some sections of the electorate, from the Greens and Lib Dems. He's said his role is to “fix government delivery, help improve communications and help change the country”.What does Jones make of Labour's gloomy polling figures and the missteps that have fuelled them? How can the government connect with the public – and why is he turning to YouTube in an attempt to reach younger voters? Tune into the first episode of a new Unpacked season to find out.

The prime minister has made some big changes in No.10. Darren Jones moves from the Treasury to take on the newly-created job of chief secretary to the prime minister. A new executive director of communications has been recruited. Minouche Shafik has been appointed as the PM's economics adviser. And other eye-catching job changes are taking place. So what does this all say about how Keir Starmer wants to govern? How will Darren Jones's role dovetail with chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden? Will these changes really equip the centre of government for a “relentless focus on delivery”? And what Institute for Government recommendations should Starmer now adopt as he weighs up further changes to the centre? This IfG expert briefing explores the prime minister's reshuffle of his No.10 team.

Does Parliament itself lie at the root of some of Britain's political and economic difficulties? Lord Goodman argues that it does and so makes the case for urgent parliamentary reform. This week we also examine the implications of a Downing Street reshuffle that has created a “Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister,” raising new questions about accountability in the Commons. The discussion ranges from Angela Rayner's uncertain position, Nigel Farage's controversial US appearance, and the Greens' leadership contest, to the growing use of artificial intelligence in parliamentary work.______Please help us improve Parliament Matters by completing our Listener Survey. It will only take a few minutes.Go to: https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/QxigqshS______This week we ponder the creation of a post unprecedented in modern government: Darren Jones as Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister. Ruth and Mark analyse what this role might mean for scrutiny, Commons procedure, and the balance of power at the heart of government, particularly with Angela Rayner's future unresolved. From there, they turn to Nigel Farage's decision to criticise Britain's free speech laws before a US Congressional committee – an intervention that may weaken rather than strengthen his position – and to the Greens' choice of a leader outside Westminster, with all the opportunities and risks that entails. They also consider how artificial intelligence is beginning to shape the way MPs work, from the appearance of formulaic phrases in Hansard to pilot schemes using AI tools for correspondence and drafting. Finally, in an extended interview, Conservative peer Lord Paul Goodman argues that economic renewal cannot be achieved without reforming Parliament itself: fewer, better-prepared bills, more serious scrutiny, and more experienced Ministers, including some drawn from outside Parliament._____

The Prime Minister has attempted to boost his team in Number 10, not least by appointing an adviser on economic policy and moving Darren Jones from the Treasury to oversee policy from Number 10. Some interpret the change as an attempt to challenge Reeves, who had total control over economic policy in opposition and the government's opening months, but how undermining are the changes? Our team asks how they will change the political mood. How many more resets will Starmer make to a team in a state of near constant churn? Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Front Line with FPM, host Nathan Pierce explores the God-given structure of parental responsibility and challenges the growing belief that the state—not parents—should oversee the education and upbringing of children. Nathan walks through the biblical foundation for parental stewardship, highlighting how Scripture consistently affirms that children are entrusted to parents, not the government. He then takes a historical look at the role of California's Superintendent of Public Instruction and how various officeholders have impacted homeschool freedom, both positively and negatively. From the legal scare in 2002 under Delaine Easton to the unexpected support in 2008 from Jack O'Connell during a critical court case, this episode is packed with insights on how state leadership can shape or threaten your right to homeschool. Nathan also highlights the importance of the upcoming election for this office and explains why now is a crucial time for parents and homeschoolers to stay engaged.

Tomorrow Rachel Reeves will deliver her big speech in the City. The annual Mansion House address is a chance for the Chancellor to set out her vision for the British economy. But amid a gloomy set of economic indicators (including two consecutive monthly GDP contractions) it is difficult to see what good news she can offer.Westminster would be alive with speculation about what she might announce – initially, there was talk of reforms to cash ISAs; now, attention has turned to the prospect of Reeves promising a ‘new Big Bang' by slashing regulation on financial services – however everyone is busy trying to work out who are the ‘working people' the Labour government has pledged not to raise taxes for?Are they – as Heida Alexander argued over the weekend – ‘people on modest incomes'? Or, as Darren Jones suggested today, ‘anyone that gets a payslip, basically'? That is quite a difference in definition – so who exactly is a ‘working person'?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.We are hosting a Coffee House Shots live tomorrow (15th July) at The Emmanuel Centre in Westminster.

We are privileged to be joined by patrons Darren Joseph, Brett Williams and Dr Jim along with good friend of the podcast Darren Jones, to discuss and celebrate the 40th anniversary of INXS' commercial breakout album, The Swing! Musical tendencies and tastes often formulate during those halcyon teenage years and today's panel deep dive into the joys of this album evoke true feelings of nostalgia, sentimentality and happiness. We discuss which songs resonated upon release in 1984 and still to this day, the importance of VHS/Video on each songs impact and the album cover/contents that were of its time. Having sold over 2,500,000 copies globally, we tackle the albums mysterious initial commercial failings in the USA market which were likely due to the albums overtly political and racially charged lyrics that stalled radio and MTV support. That aside, American fans post Kick went back and re-discovered this gem leading to platinum status accreditation and embrace songs such as Original Sin, Burn for You and I Send a Message when played “live” over the years. Having previously reviewed The Swing album in episode 13 and explored (Ep. 68, 121 and 122) with Nick Launay (Producer) and Philip Mortlock (A&R), this episode is a true joy and trip down memory lane to a time and place where INXS raised their game from underground, alternative darlings to true, versatile and musical players about to make their mark globally!
