The sun is setting on Keir Starmer's worst week in No. 10 – but potentially Kemi's best. We go into the weekend with MPs publicly calling for his most senior aide, Morgan McSweeney, to step down because of his role in the botched vetting of Peter Mandelson, and with huge questions remaining about how much the Prime Minister knew about Mandelson's association with Epstein. All of this means that the upcoming by-election on the Labour party's patch in Gorton and Denton is poised very precariously.Meanwhile, Kemi has seized the opportunity to capitalise on Labour's woes – but are she cutting through enough? And with her position looking more assured, and fiscal responsibility as their rallying cry, could it nearly be over for her shadow chancellor, Mel Stride?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Carl and Dan discuss the electoral battle in Gorton and Denton, and what it means for the rest of the UK.
Coffee House Shots is on the road today. James Heale and Megan McElroy have travelled up to the frozen north to speak to the candidates who are lobbying locals in the lead-up to the Gorton and Denton by-election. This is the seat vacated by Labour's Andrew Gwynne, and made famous by Keir Starmer refusing to let Manchester mayor Andy Burnham contest it and complete his return to Westminster. Reform are giving it everything they've got – selecting academic and GB News presenter Matthew Goodwin – while some polling suggests that the Green party could do well.

In June 1948, 21-year-old Mary Virginia Carpenter left Texarkana for college in Denton, Texas. She was last seen after a taxi dropped her near Brackenridge Hall at Texas State College for Women. The letter she promised her mother never came, and neither did Virginia. More than 70 years later, her disappearance remains one of Denton's quiet, enduring mysteries.

In this episode, Rick and Clancy Denton reflect on how their definition of success has evolved over time. Through career changes, shifting expectations, and long-term partnership, they explore how values and relationships often become more meaningful than titles or traditional milestones. Their conversation highlights how desires change across different seasons of life — and why redefining success is not a failure, but a natural part of growth. Drawing from both individual and shared experiences, Rick and Clancy discuss what it means to adapt without losing alignment, how non-linear paths shape perspective, and why success is often better measured by connection, resilience, and clarity of values than by professional achievement alone.

Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
In this week's episode of Mid-Atlantic, the panel dissects two unsettling scenes of political drama — one on the streets of Minneapolis, the other in the corridors of Westminster. The fatal ICE shooting of a civilian in Minneapolis, initially misrepresented by the Trump administration, has unleashed a bipartisan backlash. Tensions flare as footage shows an unarmed veteran stepping in to aid a protester only to be shot dead. Host Roy Field Brown is joined by panelists Logan Phillips and Mike Donahue for a conversation that shifts from outrage to hard political analysis, exposing a nation's frayed moral seams.Across the pond, the Labour Party blocks Andy Burnham — the “King of the North” — from contesting a Westminster seat, triggering speculation of Keir Starmer's insecurity. Is this about party discipline or political self-preservation? Corey Bernard decodes the local maths in Manchester's Gorton and Denton constituency, while Leah Brown challenges Starmer's leadership style, likening it to brittle control masquerading as strategy.This episode weaves grief, fury, and policy fatigue with snappy transatlantic banter — and asks the fundamental question: when institutions crack, what do ordinary people do? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Keir Starmer has blocked Andy Burnham's bid to run in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but has he just delayed the leadership challenge many in Westminster believe is inevitable?If there is a challenge, does the Labour Party risk descending into the same internal conflicts that helped bring down the Conservatives?Starmer's latest foreign destination is China for a meeting with President Xi but is travelling the globe as an international statesman staving off restless Labour MPs?Meanwhile, he says his relentless focus is the cost-of-living crisis but are the public, or his MPs buying it?On the latest episode of the Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by our Senior Political Correspondent Paul McNamara, the I-paper's chief political commentator Kitty Donaldson, and Political Editor of the Liverpool Echo, Liam Thorp.
Today, Adam and Chris discuss ex-Conservative home secretary Suella Braverman defecting to Reform.

It's psychodrama all round on Coffee House Shots today. Between Andy Burnham – who over the weekend was denied the opportunity to stand in the Gorton and Denton by-election – and Suella Braverman – who has just announced that she's defecting to Reform (shock horror) – it seems like the main parties are competing to see who can appear the most split. After high-profile Labour MPs gave their support for Burnham's return, what impact will this have on Labour party unity? And with this latest defection of a former Tory, can Nigel Farage dodge accusations that Reform is becoming the Tory party 2.0?Isabel Hardman speaks to Tim Shipman and Gabriel Pogrund.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

This episode explores one of the most charged and misunderstood topics in modern wellness: meat, ethics, and our relationship to life and death. I'm joined by Mansal Denton, founder of Real Provisions and creator of Sacred Hunting, for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about nourishment, stewardship, and responsibility in the natural world.We dig into the realities of animal suffering across different food systems, including wild ecosystems, regenerative farming, and industrial agriculture. Mansal shares why ethical hunting, when done with precision, reverence, and intention, can result in less suffering than many people realize—and why modern food supply chains often hide uncomfortable truths behind marketing labels.From there, the conversation moves into Mansal's personal spiritual journey, including how Orthodox Christianity reshaped his understanding of food as a sacred act. We explore how ritual, beauty, and embodied spirituality intersect with ancient wisdom traditions, and why honoring life requires confronting discomfort rather than avoiding it.We also unpack the nutritional and ecological case for wild game, particularly axis deer from Hawaii, including biodiversity, nutrient density, and population balance. Mansal explains how Real Provisions was born from a desire to feed his family—and future children—with food that aligns with both ethics and physiology.This episode isn't about telling you what to eat. It's about asking better questions: Where does our food come from? What does it cost—physically, spiritually, and ecologically? And how might choosing with more awareness bring us back into right relationship with the world that feeds us.
