Podcast appearances and mentions of david mundell

The Bare Knuckle Show is hosted by BKFC's event hype man and fight fan Brian Soscia, talking about all the news and action in the bare-knuckle world.This week, Soscia chats with Donald Sanchez ahead of his middleweight title fight against David Mundell at BKFC 75.Taylor Starling joins the show late and gives some possible matchups she would like in her future.

Joining Iain Dale on this special edition of Cross Question are SNP MP Kirsty Blackman, Shadow Scotland Secretary and Labour MP Ian Murray, former Scotland Secretary and Conservative MP David Mundell and LBC's Scotland Political Editor Gina Davidson.

I kick off the show with actor, producer, app designer, model, Sanshou world cup bronze medalist and undefeated bare knuckle boxer, JR Ridge. JR talks about his 40-second KO victory in his BKFC debut, the future of the sport, his plans to compete, Julian Lane instigating Mike Perry and the rest of the BKFC Tampa card. Then I break down the entire UFC 269 card, all the upsets, the most impressive performances, what to do next with matchmaking and more. I drink Russell's 10 year bourbon and probably give a lot of false information, so feel free to correct me on any of it. Thank you as always for the feedback, shares, whiskey recommendations and criticism - cheers!

Public anger is growing over the impact of the exams chaos, with GCSEs seeing a big rise in grades, and the BTec results delayed. David Mundell, Conservative MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale and the former Secretary of State for Scotland says the U.K. government has got a handle on the problem in England, and has done just as well, or poorly, on the issue as the SNP administration did in Edinburgh. But former ministerial adviser Chris White, now managing director for public affairs at Newington Communications, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing that the cabinet needs to do better, as many of the exam problems were easily predictable.

A bonus episode this week as I sit down with professional MMA fighter and bare knuckle boxer, David Redneck Mundell. Dave talks about his upcoming fight with UFC veteran and Olympian, Hector Lombard at BKFC 10. This will be Dave's third appearance in BKFC and the first for Lombard. Dave talks about his preparation, moving up in weight, his mentality going into the biggest fight of his career and his plans for the future. Cheers! BKFC 10: Hector Lombard vs David Mundell (Main Event) Jim Alers vs Kaleb Harris (155lbs Title Tournament) Elvin Leon Brito vs Luis Palomino (155lbs Title Tournament) Abdiel Velazquez vs Dat Nguyen Reggie Barnett Jr vs Matt Murphy Lorenzo Hunt vs Gustavo Trujillo Fred Pierce vs Francesco Ricci Travis Thompson vs Josh Boudreaux Ulysses Diaz vs Brian Maxwell

British politics can be a brutal business.Within hours of being sacked by Boris Johnson from the Cabinet, David Mundell's belongings were outside the Commons office he had held as Scottish secretary since 2015.Now the big grey crates sit, still unpacked...

Back to break down a packed weekend of combat sports, including Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship live coverage, UFC Fight Night 154 and Bellator 223. Palie Malignaggi was unable to settle his vendetta against Conor McGregor's camp, as he lost his bare knuckle boxing debut to Artem Lobov. David Mundell has the must exciting fight of the BKFC 6 card with a 90-second knockout. Other UFC veterans such as Chris Leben, Joey Beltran and Joe Riggs also appear on the card. The UFC put on a great show this weekend in Greenville, South Carolina despite losing its co-main event. The Korean Zombie, Chan Sung Jung made short work of top featherweight contender Renato Moicano with a TKO less than a minute into the first round. Welterweight Randy Brown bounces back after almost a year off with a TKO of Brian Barbarena. Andre Ewell and Anderson dos Santos put on an epic slugfest. Jairzinho Rozenstruik disposes of Allan Crowder with an amazing nine-second knockout that started with a jab moving backwards. All this and much more on the latest episode - cheers!

In a 30 minutes interview, in one of the biggest weeks in British political history, Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell, spoke to Edward Hardy earlier today for a special episode of The Hardy Report. With Prime Minister Theresa May having announced today that she will be resigning, the Scottish Secretary reveals what he's looking for in the next Conservative Party leader, why he still supports Theresa May's Brexit deal & how revoking Article 50 or holding a People's Vote could cause discontent. The Hardy Report is a political news and current affairs podcast, bringing you interviews with a range of activists, campaigners and politicians from across the political spectrum in the United States and the United Kingdom. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thehardyreport/support

After I begin by giving far too detailed an explanation of why we're now podcasting on Mondays, Lesley gets stuck into what looks like a bidding war between the EU and EFTA for a post-independence Scotland. She also considers, what appears to be, growing indications of the launch of Indyref2 and asks will any Tory PM agree to a Section 30 order and just who will decide who gets to vote, and the question on the ballot paper. In the light of Richard Leonard's car crash interview on Sunday Politics Scotland we also examine what difference a Corbyn government dependent on SNP support might make.  I chip in on the recent announcement by the SNP of a change in currency policy and we ask just how radical will that change be, and what can we learn from both Bernie Sanders and the Swedish Social Democrats of the 1950s? Recent statistics from England and Wales show a steep decline in the study of foreign languages at GCSE and A level in both those countries. Lesley explores what deep rooted reasons might be behind this worrying trend, the differences in Scotland, and can we afford to be complacent.  All the above plus David Mundell's limited grasp of reality, Bill Jack's double-breasted blazer, our post Brexit names and a wee tribute to the late Merv Rolfe.

In these uncertain times, the threat of a snap election is never far away. Christopher Hope sits down with pollster, Martin Baxter to find out what might happen if one was called - and it’s not straightforward. Also on the podcast: Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell on how Nicola Sturgeon is using Brexit chaos for her own gain, and Ellie Varley of Students for Brexit on why she feels ostracised in university classrooms as a young Leave supporter.

We're back! Yup after a two-week break, during which time nothing politically significant at all has happened, the podcast has returned. Please read that last sentence with a note of irony, of course. As you might be aware our absence was down to my better half's close encounters with the NHS and that's where we begin. Lesley recently went to see Nae Pasaran, the movie about the Scottish workers who defied Pinochet's fascist dictatorship in Chile. What lessons can we draw from this amazing true story for today? We, unashamedly, spend the rest of our time focusing on whether independence is the cause that dare not speak its name amongst the SNP leadership, the role of SNP MPs at Westminster, and the role of Holyrood.  As well as all that, and there's a lot of all that, we muse on tablet, visits to Skye and Belfast, and David Mundell ecdysiast.

British High Commissioner Laura Clarke is joined by the Secretary of State for Scotland David Mundell to chat about why he went into politics, his visit to New Zealand & it's close ties culturally and economically with Scotland. 

Theresa May needs to be quit as Prime Minister to because the Brexit talks "resemble a Greek tragedy and it only ends when everyone is dead", a leading Tory party donor says today. Jeremy Hosking, a City financier who has donated £375,000 to the party since 2015, says the Government’s strategy to exit the European Union had to change. Mr Hosking is the first major donor to speak about against Mrs May and her Brexit talks. He tells today’s Chopper’s Brexit Podcast that it is time to take decisive action to ensure that Britain gets the best possible deal to leave the EU in March next year. He says: “We are three-nil down and it is half time. We are in the dressing room having half time oranges and the plan is to wait until we are six-nil down and hope for a miracle in injury time? It just resembles a Greek tragedy and it only ends when everyone is dead.” Mrs May had to be replaced “as soon as possible. There needs to be an audit on the strategy – the strategy is not working. “I feel like a bit like the story of the emperor’s new clothes – someone has got to say it – it ain’t working. Mr Hosking claims that the difficulties over the talks were part of a "deliberate" attempt to keep the UK in the EU, saying: "I personally have joined up my dots and concluded that it is deliberate... It doesn't really matter if it is deliberate or not if it is a failing strategy." Mr Hosking says other donors shared his concerns. "The collapse in morale in the last four weeks is absolutely staggering.  "We see absolutely no way out of the box on the current strategy, the same team is being sent out after half time with the same inability to play football, and they are scoring goals at will... Our troops are on the beach and they are surrounded." He adds: “There very definitely needs to be a change and a reset. You would need to have a new person to implement a strategy that is completely different to the old strategy. “A lot of the parliamentary Conservative party think everyone is going very well – and I am talking about some of the Brexiteers.  “It is a bit like the man who jumps out of the 50th Storey window – as they fly by the 20th Storey it is all going great but it is not going to have a happy ending.  “The way it is going at the moment we are going to wake up in February 2019 and realise it is not going very well and we have only got injury time to score five goals. He says that "somehow being a Brexiteer is politically incorrect. Those who oppose Brexit are playing on that like mad. There is a Pavlovian reflex from people to believe it, that we are xenophobes, racists and wife-beaters". Eurosceptics were considered to be “nutters and lunatics”, he complains. The party’s leadership felt that “the people who voted to leave didn’t really mean it and he idea of the Tories betraying Euroscepticism – and they are repeat offenders in this regard – that is still OK”. Separately, David Mundell, the Scottish secretary, says people in Scotland were getting bored of the SNP’s repeated calls to make Scotland independent. He tells the podcast: “The public’s appetite for discussing these issues is waning. People are fed up across the political spectrum of constantly hearing about independence and constitution.                 “Even people who voted yes in 2014 – a lot of those people don’t want another independence referendum because it was a very divisive event.   “And although we politicians went out afterwards and said ‘isn’t it great, 80 per cent of people voted, virtually everybody who was alive in Scotland voted in that referendum.   “And although we say it is great public engagement, most people hated it when you speak to them, they hated the fact that they fell out with friends and family, with people in pubs like the Red Lion.   “People were divided, at their work they were divided. It was very intense in the final weeks. In the street you could not go out and avoid it.   “People don’t want to return to that. They feel it was a once in a generation event. There was a divisive result in favour of staying in the United Kingdom and we should leave it be.”   Mr Mundell, the second longest serving Cabinet minister who voted to Remain in the EU at the 2016 referendum, says he would vote to remain again if there were a referendum today.   He says: “I voted Remain and I would probably still vote Remain but I accepted the result.”   Asked how he deals with abuse from nationalists on Twitter, he says: “I just don’t look at it. I know what I am taking on.   “I asked to do this – nobody is making me. It is a harsh political environment in Scotland, indeed across most of the UK, you just have to get on with it.”   Other guests are Ayesha Hazarika and Tom Hamilton, former aides to ex-Labour leader Ed Miliband, who have written “Punch & Judy”, an account of preparing for the weekly Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons.   Chopper’s Brexit Podcast is available on the Telegraph’s website and iTunes from 6am on Friday May 25

I open by stunning Lesley with Chris McEleny's "dream team" Yes campaign leadership suggestion. This leads Lesley into her thoughts on just what shape any future independence campaign should and could take and what role any "leader" would be permitted by the media. It's the local elections in England and I succeed, yet again, in surprising Lesley with my revelations on the voting system used. Both of us try to get to grips with the arcane structure of local government down south, and the complexities of making sense of the results. We return to independence and we've often speculated on just how No voters could be convinced to change their minds. I try to explain the research of neuropsychologist Professor Tali Sharot and what, if anything, it can contribute to strategies on how to do this. Judge for yourselves how successful I am.  Kevin McKenna's thought provoking article in the National on the introduction of minimum unit pricing for alcohol provides a springboard for a discussion on the role of drink in Scottish society, the impact of its abuse in working class communities, and whether this is simply another nanny state measure enacted by the middle classes. Finally, we review FMQs, in particular Miles Briggs' attack on the Baby Box scheme, and David Mundell's appearances before two committees at the Scottish Parliament. Plus there's the usual old toot including a lesson in Dundonian and more than any of you wanted to know about the play-offs for the SPFL.

On this week's Murnaghan podcast - We hear from David Mundell, the Secretary of State for Scotland who has – controversially - been denied a seat on Theresa May’s Brexit cabinet committee and Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. Revelations have emerged that Boris Johnson, prominent Brexiteer, wrote unpublished newspaper columns supporting Britain staying in the European Union just two days before he announced he would support the Leave campaign. We hear from Tim Shipman, political editor of the Sunday Times, in whose recent book on Brexit this exposé was made. A cross-party committee of MPs has criticised Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for failing to do enough to tackle anti-Semitism in the party. We hear from Tim Loughton, Acting chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, which authored the report, and Jeremy Newmark, National Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement. And finally we hear from the queen of punk, Dame Vivienne Westwood, who has recently published her memoirs. All on this week's Murnaghan podcast.
