Podcast appearances and mentions of david gauke

Former Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor David Gauke joins James Heale to talk about his review into prison sentencing. The former Tory minister was appointed by the current Labour Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, but says there is a clear centre-right argument for prison reform. He talks James through his policy proposals and the political reaction to them, the thinking behind expanding chemical castration for sex offenders and why deportation is complicated when dealing with the very worst foreign criminals. Ultimately his review is designed to reduce what is currently the highest incarceration rate in Europe. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

The government says it will accept the majority of the recommendations in the report it commissioned into jail sentences.   The independent review, led by ex-Conservative justice secretary David Gauke, looked at how to reduce the prison population by 2028. One of its key proposals would see well-behaved inmates only serve a third of their sentences. It would include sex offenders who had agreed to chemical castration.  On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to political correspondent Liz Bates about what is in the plans and what the political ramifications may be for Labour.  Plus, Professor Belinda Winder, who has been evaluating the government's chemical castration pilot, explains what the process involves and how effective it is. Producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker

On Nick Ferrari at Breakfast.The government has released it's sentencing review, including plans to chemically castrate paedophiles and sex offenders. Chair of the Ministry of Justice Sentencing Review, David Gauke speaks to Nick. Two Israeli embassy staff shot dead outside the Jewish Museum in Washington DC Sir Kier Starmer announces a u-turn on the winter fuel payment cutsAll of this and more on Nick Ferrari - The Whole Show Podcast.

Two Israeli embassy staff were shot dead outside the Jewish museum in Washington DC. The suspect chanted "Free Palestine" as he was taken into custody. World leaders - including the PM - have condemned the killings. He said in a statement: "Antisemitism is an evil we must stamp out wherever it appears." Earlier this week, the UK, France and Canada issued a statement about the "intolerable" humanitarian situation in Gaza, and threatened sanctions against Israel. That response has led to some Israeli ministers blaming Keir Starmer, Emanuel Macron and Mark Carney of emboldening the forces of terror, and of making "false accusations" which paved the way for the violence. Why?Later, Emily speaks to the chair of the independent sentencing review. David Gauke is proposing radical changes to the way we treat offenders in an attempt to stop our prisons from bursting and to get reoffending rates down.

Ken Macdonald and Tim Owen are joined by David Gauke, Former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice. In 2019 he resigned, saying he could no longer serve under Boris Johnson and risk a no-deal Brexit. After expulsion from the Conservative party, he said ‘at last I have something in common with Domonic Cummings.' It was a poignant remark.

How should the incoming government go about doing the next spending review? How can the government make sure they deliver on their priorities? And will they be constrained by the much talked about ‘treasury orthodoxy'?To help us answer these questions, we're joined by two people who have been at the heart of government - David Gauke, a lawyer and former MP who served in the Treasury under David Cameron and Theresa May's governments and Giles Wilkes, a senior fellow at the Institute for Government and former special adviser to Theresa May and Vince Cable.

W/C 1st April 2024The New Statesman email has started landing in my inbox and I am not sure why. I can only assume it is something to do with signing up for the Ian Dunt blog that I told you about, but whatever the reason I am quite enjoying it.It seems to be a bit sporadic in terms of its cadence, and I would be lying if I didn't tell you that was triggering my OCD tendencies a little, but generally it has been a positive.So far this week I have enjoyed pieces penned by David Gauke, and Lewis Goodall, both of whom I have a lot of time for, along with some interesting stuff from Freddie Haywood. I appreciate that I am just being baited and played, and after a couple of attempts with an 'exclusive subscriber offer' they will no doubt move on, but it is all good for the moment. It really is the small things.Stay safe.Blink 182 - All the small thingsTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

The relationship between politicians and economists has always been complicated, and it has become particularly rocky in Britain over the last decade. Divisions during the Brexit referendum prompted Michael Gove to quip that Britain had ‘had enough of experts' while a key pillar of Trussonomics was challenging existing economic institutions from the Treasury to the Bank of England and OBR. But technocrats remain a dominant force in economic policy making, and as politicians seek to overturn the UK's recent record of economic stagnation the relationship between these two disciplines is as important as ever. Have politicians and economists lost faith in each other, or is the picture more nuanced? What are the pros and cons of delegating more economic policy decision-making to experts? And how can politicians better improve voters' understanding of the economy, and respond to voters' economic concerns? The Resolution Foundation together with Political Quarterly are hosting an event to mark the publication of a new book Politicians and economic experts: the limits of technocracy by Anna Killick to debate and answer these questions. Joining Anna will be two of the leading economic thinkers in UK politics – David Gauke and Yvette Cooper, both of whom have served as Chief Treasury Secretaries and Work and Pensions Secretaries – to discuss how politicians can do economics better.

Torsten Bell, head of the Resolution Foundation think tank and formerly head of policy for Labour leader Ed Miliband, considers the effects of the spending cuts and the differences between the Labour and the Conservative positions, while Jeremy Corbyn, the former Labour leader, talks about what he thinks his party got wrong. Carys Roberts, executive director at the IPPR think tank, discusses the way the public debate played out, while Professor Michael Marmot considers the impact of austerity on life expectancy and health inequalities across the U.K. Hosted on Acast.

David Gauke, Former Conservative Minister

As the Truss micro-Government twists on a hook of its own making, we take a taxi to an anti-growth North London podcast studio to examine a week of Tory torment, conference catastrophes and 33% Labour leads. Are the Conservatives on the verge of an actual extinction event? Former Justice Secretary and Conservative exile David Gauke is our special guest.  “Can you imagine anyone, in any pub, going on about the Anti-Growth Coalition?” – Ian Dunt “It seems that Truss genuinely doesn't think she even needs a democratic mandate to do what she does…” – Ros Taylor  “Her authority is extraordinarily low and she doesn't have any political capital at all.” – David Gauke “Well done, the first thing you've done in your whole administration is tank the economy.” – Ian Dunt  Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Ian Dunt.

What better time to interview a moderate former Tory MP who spent 7 years in the Treasury? David Gauke does not disappoint and is fully uncorked in this entertaining analysis of the Tories' current economic policy and the people driving it. David's story is fascinating. He went from leading Cabinet minister to ex MP within just a few months and now considers himself politically homeless. How did this happen to one of the Tories' most prominent and capable performers? It's probably not that hard to figure out but David tells his story with typical wit and warmth. He also reminisces about the coalition years, including the political legacy of austerity.

It's uncomfortable. And it's rebellious.”“It's now hard to see that there'll ever be pro-European advocacy in the Conservative party again.”“There'll be a gravitational pull towards those socially conservative Red Wall voters… Anyone who's expecting a return to Cameron-style government will be disappointed.” “The Tory Party has taken on the personality of a newspaper columnist, rather than a traditional party of government.”Presented by Ros Taylor.

The Government has endured wide-ranging criticism of its Coronavirus response: from the timing of lockdown and its initial testing capacity to U-turns on quarantine and A-level results, through an ill-fated contact tracing app. How far are these failures explained by the difficulty of making decisions under enormous pressure? Or are they symptoms of deeper, enduring problems with the government machine?Drawing in particular on three case studies examined in a new IfG report – COVID testing capacity, lockdown and the Government's economic support measures – our panel looks at why different aspects of the Government's pandemic response did or did not work as hoped, and the lessons the Government can learn.Alex Thomas, programme director at the Institute for Government is in conversation with:David Gauke, former Secretary of State for JusticeTom McTague, staff writer at The AtlanticUna O'Brien, former permanent secretary at the Department of HealthSarah Nickson, researcher at the Institute for Government See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

And our special guest, former minister and rebellious leader of the Gaukward Squad David Gauke, gives perhaps the most entertaining account of losing an election we've heard… and speculates if we'll ever see one-nation Conservatism ever again. “On COVID, the British public seem to be far more sanguine than writers for mid-market tabloids.” – Ian Dunt“If you're a Muslim, your mum starts cooking for Eid three days ahead… And that late lockdown made Muslims feel really unvalued.” – Ayesha Hazarika“There's been too many occasions where the Prime Minister has been too keen to deliver good news that turns out not to be correct… and that undermines trust.” – David Gauke“Everybody talks about Lords reform until they become leader.” - Ayesha Hazarika“Even as an ex-MP I was bombarded with angry emails saying Dominic Cummings should go.” – David GaukePresented by Dorian Lynskey with Ayesha Hazarika and Ian Dunt.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5749BORIS JOHNSON, IL NUOVO PREMIER INGLESE PER LA BREXIT SENZA SE E SENZA MA di Stefano MagniCome era ormai prevedibile, Boris Johnson, già sindaco di Londra e già ministro degli Esteri britannico, ha vinto il Congresso dei Conservatori ed è il nuovo premier del Regno Unito. Nell'ultima votazione, ha letteralmente doppiato il suo rivale interno, Jeremy Hunt (attuale ministro degli Esteri): 92.153 voti contro 46.656 di Hunt. E adesso cosa dobbiamo attenderci dal nuovo premier? Brexit a tutti i costi, meno tasse e decisamente meno attenzione per i temi ecologici come il riscaldamento globale. Ma soprattutto: molto odio da parte dei media internazionali e dei governi europei.Jeremy Hunt ha perso la fiducia della base conservatrice soprattutto perché, come Theresa May prima di lui, nella campagna referendaria del 2016, per il voto sulla Brexit, era dalla parte dei remainers, voleva dunque restare nell'Ue. Con la vittoria di Johnson prevale la base del partito conservatore, contrapposta all'élite che si era formata ai tempi dei governi di David Cameron. Se ne va la cordata più europeista del Partito, che aveva accettato a denti stretti la Brexit ed ora chiedeva un'uscita ordinata e negoziata, anche a costo di rinviare ancora la data di uscita, il 31 ottobre. La prima a rassegnare le dimissioni è stata il ministro dell'Istruzione Anne Milton, addirittura un'ora prima che i risultati venissero annunciati. Poi è seguito il ministro dello Sviluppo Internazionale, Rory Stewart, che con un tweet in cui lo si vede in tenuta da campagna e in compagnia di due cavalli, annuncia che tornerà a fare il semplice deputato e lavorerà maggiormente per la sua regione settentrionale, la Cumbria. David Gauke, ministro della Giustizia, ha annunciato subito che rassegnerà anch'egli le dimissioni. Il prossimo governo, dunque, apparirà già molto differente da quello guidato da Theresa May.GRAN BRETAGNA COME GULLIVERNel suo discorso della vittoria, Boris Johnson cita I viaggi di Gulliver e rappresenta l'immagine della Gran Bretagna come un gigante addormentato che si desta e si alza scrollandosi di dosso lacci e lacciuoli con cui è stato legato dai minuscoli Lillipuziani: "ci alzeremo e ci scrolleremo di dosso tutti quei lacci: il dubitare di noi stessi, la negatività". Fin dal 2018, Johnson era stato uno dei più accesi sostenitori della Brexit a tutte le condizioni, anche a costo di uscire dall'Ue senza alcun accordo. Il "no-deal", conferma il neo-premier "non deve essere escluso". Benché in parlamento la maggioranza abbia votato contro questa opzione, Johnson la userà come carta negoziale, a mo' di arma finale. Benché il capo-negoziatore europeo Michel Barnier, sia convinto che l'accordo di uscita del Regno Unito dall'Ue debba rimanere nei termini firmati da Theresa May, Johnson ha già definito più volte quella bozza come "defunta".È difficile capire cosa l'ex sindaco di Londra realizzerà o tenterà di realizzare in patria. La stampa britannica e a seguire quella internazionale ha attivato contro di lui una macchina del fango, potente tanto quanto quella usata contro Trump. Le informazioni di cui disponiamo su Johnson sono quasi tutte derivate da profili e sintesi altamente denigratori nei suoi confronti. Siccome i binari mediatico e giudiziario procedono sempre in parallelo, Johnson è stato anche querelato per aver mentito nel corso della campagna referendaria per la Brexit nel 2016. Precedente curioso: se dovesse essere condannato, anche tutti i politici che gonfiano cifre o alterano la descrizione degli eventi durante le loro campagne elettorali, oltre che vittime dei fact checkers (come avviene in ogni campagna che si rispetta) potrebbero finire anche alla sbarra.CONTRO L'ECOLOGISMO E L'ISLAMPer conoscere meglio il nuovo premier conservatore, occorre dunque andare alla fonte diretta. Boris Johnson è un ex giornalista, prima corrispondente da Bruxelles per il Telegraph, poi direttore dello Spectator. Ha maturato il suo euroscetticismo proprio venendo a contatto con la realtà della burocrazia europea. Oltre che giornalista, Johnson è anche uno storico, benché non sia un accademico riconosciuto ha scritto saggi di successo, come Il sogno di Roma. Amante della nostra civiltà, Johnson ritiene che la Roma antica abbia saputo incarnare un sogno, un ideale, un modello a cui ispirarsi. La definisce come "un antico specchio in cui l'Occidente contemporaneo si riflette". Gli Usa, in particolar modo, riprendono ai giorni nostri l'antico ideale imperiale. L'Ue, al contrario, non ispira alcun ideale, non ha un'anima, ha solo una grande burocrazia spesso disfunzionale.Johnson ha sempre dimostrato di detestare i sensi di colpa dell'Occidente. È stato contestato per la sua "islamofobia", perché ha constatato la mancanza di democrazia e perché nel suo seno non si è mai affermato un sistema capitalista moderno. È al tempo stesso un convinto difensore del sistema capitalista occidentale: "Non dobbiamo trattare il capitalismo come se fosse un termine offensivo - ha scritto in tempi non sospetti - Non possiamo perdere la nostra fede nella competitività, nella libera scelta e nel mercato. Dobbiamo riaffermare la verità e cioè che semplicemente non esiste alcun altro sistema che abbia un successo così miracoloso nel soddisfare i desideri e i bisogni umani". Su questo aspetto, almeno, è l'opposto di Theresa May, che parlava in termini molto critici del capitalismo, quasi indistinguibile da un laburista.Altro settore in cui si distacca nettamente dalla precedente classe dirigente conservatrice è l'ecologia. Nel 2014, quando era sindaco di Londra, al New Scientist aveva dichiarato che la capitale avrebbe dovuto dotarsi "definitivamente, assolutamente", di una centrale nucleare. Johnson ha votato con assiduità contro le misure di lotta al riscaldamento globale. Quanto all'energia, oltre che al nucleare è dichiaratamente favorevole alla ricerca e allo sfruttamento dello shale gas. Potrebbe incrementare da subito l'attività di fracking, altra "bestia nera" degli ecologisti.Nelle loro caricature, molti giornalisti ironizzano sui capelli di "BoJo", notando la similitudine con quelli di Trump. Ma i due si conoscono e hanno sempre avuto parole di stima reciproca. La prossima "relazione speciale" potrebbe essere quella fra i due leader della destra anglo-sassone, desiderosi quanto prima di rendersi autonomi dall'Ue e da un sistema internazionale che considerano obsoleto.
