London Cooking: A Climate Action Week, a Resigning PM, and the Future of Climate Diplomacy

London Climate Action Week doesn't usually have to compete with extreme weather. But this year, the case for climate action was abundantly clear: a red heat warning, schools shut, trains cancelled, and temperatures breaking the UK's all-time June record. A prime minister's resignation on the opening day only added to the sense that events we'd once considered rare now seem to be happening all the time.This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson report from LCAW 2026, where 75,000 people gathered to work on exactly the crisis unfolding outside. They dig into the politics swirling around the event and the UN Secretary-General's speech that opened it. And with the future uncertain at the UN as well as in Downing Street, Christiana walks through all six candidates to succeed António Guterres, and what each of them actually believes about climate. They also speak with Kate Gallego, Mayor of Phoenix, who alongside last week's guest Nick Reece of Melbourne launched the C40 Global Urban Data Centre Pact at LCAW: a commitment signed by 41 cities to push back on unchecked AI infrastructure expansion in communities that haven't always had a say. And Tom sits down one-on-one with Rachel Kyte, the UK's Special Representative for Climate. She argues that we forgot ‘the second half of Paris', explains how climate diplomacy is shifting gears, and tells us why, against the odds, she still finds reasons for optimism. Learn More:

“I don't want to give any lessons to British people, and it's difficult for us to receive lessons from outside, because nobody is able to give lessons to others... But we also have to take into account what happens around us in Europe, Russia and Ukraine, and outside the world in the Middle East. The world is more and more dangerous, unstable and fragile - and in facing this world, we need to be together.”Katya Adler speaks to Michel Barnier who served as the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, on the 10th anniversary of the highly consequential referendum.On 23 June 2016, the British public went to the polls to decide its future with the European Union. An unusually high number of people voted, and by 52% to 48%, the decision was to leave the bloc.Barnier, then a European Commissioner who had served as a minister in a number of French governments, represented the EU at negotiations to help agree the terms of the UK's departure and future relationship.It was a long, hard process, with the UK seeing three different prime ministers from 10 Downing Street before formally leaving the Union in January 2020.Monsieur Barnier reflects on the UK's decision and how both European and international politics have changed since.

Hace dos días Keir Starmer compareció para anunciar que abandonará el cargo de primer ministro este verano. La crisis política, cuya fase final dio comienzo tras la derrota laborista de las elecciones locales en mayo, se cobra así el sexto primer ministro de los últimos diez años. Su sucesor será Andy Burnham, antiguo alcalde de Manchester que, gracias a unas elecciones parciales celebradas este mismo mes, ha entrado en el Parlamento. Suponiendo que llegue convertirse en el próximo primer ministro, heredaría exactamente el mismo avispero que deja Keir Starmer. Una economía estancada, márgenes mínimos para endeudarse y gastar, y un electorado irritado que percibe el declive del país con el cinismo de quien ya no espera nada bueno. El problema de fondo no cambia con la persona que ocupe Downing Street, y esa es precisamente la trampa. El dato que mejor resume la frustración británica que en 20 años la renta real del hogar británico promedio apenas se ha movido. Es, de hecho, un 25% inferior a la que tendrían si el crecimiento hubiera mantenido el ritmo que tuvo entre los años 80 y 2007. Dos décadas perdidas explican por qué la política británica se ha vuelto un simple ejercicio de gestión del malestar. Los números tampoco invitan al optimismo. La presión fiscal está en máximos, la deuda ronda el 100% del PIB y sus intereses devoran ya un 8% del presupuesto, el doble de lo que el Reino Unido dedica a defensa. Otro 25% se va en prestaciones sociales, pensiones y subsidios. Sobre ese suelo de cemento debe Burnham crear algo parecido a una estrategia. Su dilema es el mismo que paraliza a toda Europa. Recortar partidas sociales para liberar recursos hacia la defensa o las infraestructuras envejecidas exige enfrentarse al electorado. Starmer eludió ese choque por miedo a sus diputados y a sus votantes. Su promesa de crecimiento comenzó, de hecho, subiendo impuestos a las empresas. El resultado fue un fracaso anunciado porque no existe salvación política que no pase por el crecimiento económico. Sobre Burnham planea además una incógnita personal. Hasta hace apenas unas semanas ni siquiera era diputado, y su trayectoria como alcalde de Mánchester es más la de un reformista de izquierdas que la de un laborista moderado. Algunos de sus asesores proponen eliminar las subidas de las pensiones para ganar margen de inversión. Los economistas aplaudirían, los jubilados protestarían, la pregunta inevitable es si querrá meterse en ese lío. El telón de fondo lo pone el mercado. El Reino Unido ya paga los tipos de interés más altos del G7 para financiarse. Carecen además del colchón de una gran divisa de reserva como el dólar o el euro. Cualquier promesa de gasto sin financiación clara dispararía esos tipos. El recuerdo de Liz Truss, que duró 49 días en el poder tras sus rebajas de impuestos sin cobertura en 2022, sigue muy vivo entre inversores y políticos. En el exterior los problemas se acumulan. Rusia es una amenaza, Europa mira de reojo y con desconfianza a los británicos y EEUU está en pleno repliegue. Dentro, crecimiento débil, escaso espacio para reformas y una derecha identitaria que es la favorita en las encuestas. Eso fue lo que hundió a Starmer. A Burnham no le quedará más remedio que poner en marcha reformas de calado o sufrirá la misma suerte. Para hablar de la enésima crisis política en el Reino Unido tenemos hoy a Andrea en La ContraCrónica, que ha estado siguiendo este asunto con mucha atención desde que comenzó esta ultima semana de Starmer. #FernandoDiazVillanueva #keirstarmer #andyburnham Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Het is gebeurd. De Britse premier Keir Starmer vertrekt uit Downing Street 10, onder druk van zijn partijgenoten. Exact tien jaar na de Brexit blijkt dat ook de Labour-premier het land niet op de rails heeft kunnen krijgen en houden. Zal gedoodverfd opvolger Andy Burnham beter doen? ­ De Britten krijgen straks hun zevende premier in tien jaar tijd. Vandaag is het een decennium geleden dat ze stemden over een eventuele uitstap uit de Europese Unie (verdict: ja), en sinds de Brexit een feit is, zijn een deel van de doemscenario's uitgekomen. Economisch is het Verenigd Koninkrijk er niet op vooruitgegaan. ­ Toen Keir Starmer in 2024 zijn intrek nam in Downing Street 10, rustte de hoop van veel centrumlinkse Britten op zijn schouders. Maar amper twee jaar later moet ook hij – de eerste Labour-premier sinds de Brexit – de handdoek gooien. De afgelopen weken werd hij aangeschoten wild, zijn exit stond in de sterren geschreven. ­ Starmers opvolger heet vrijwel zeker Andy Burnham, ook een lid van Labour. Burnham haalde vorige week donderdag een eclatante overwinning bij de tussentijdse verkiezingen in district Makerfield bij Manchester. Naarmate de populariteit van Starmer afkalfde, ging zijn ster rijzen. Welke adelbrieven kan Burnham voorleggen, en zijn ze voldoende om erop te vertrouwen dat hij het leven van de gewone Britten wél beter kan maken? ­ Wil je de nieuwste aflevering van onze economiepodcast Kop of munt beluisteren?

Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham and the future of the Labour Party collide in this episode of Mark and Pete, as we examine Burnham's decisive Makerfield by-election victory, the growing pressure on the Prime Minister, and the increasingly awkward question now hovering over Westminster: is Starmer finished?Burnham returned to Parliament with more than 54 per cent of the vote and a majority of over 9,200, defeating Reform UK in a constituency where Labour had recently looked distinctly vulnerable. It was not merely a by-election win. It was a public demonstration that Burnham may be able to recover the working-class voters Labour fears it is losing, which is precisely the sort of useful achievement that tends to make a sitting leader feel suddenly unwell.We explore every plausible permutation. Could Starmer resign and allow an orderly leadership contest? Might he stay, fight and force Burnham to gather the nominations needed for a formal challenge? Could Wes Streeting or another Cabinet figure enter the race and split the anti-Starmer vote? And would a new Labour leader need to call a general election, or simply move into Downing Street while the electorate watches from behind the curtains?There is also the larger national question. Burnham offers a more northern, interventionist and emotionally direct style of Labour politics, with stronger emphasis on public ownership, regional power and confronting Reform. But is he genuinely a fresh alternative, or simply the next vessel into which a disappointed country pours several gallons of hope?Mark and Pete discuss Keir Starmer's future, Andy Burnham's leadership ambitions, the Makerfield result, Labour Party rules, Reform UK, the possibility of another Prime Minister without a general election, and what this extraordinary political moment could mean for Britain.Westminster has discovered a new saviour. Again. The halo is still under warranty.We ask whether changing the man at the top can change the country beneath him, or merely improve the television interviews.

Mañana se cumplen diez años del referéndum del Brexit que sacó al Reino Unido de la Unión Europea por un ajustado 52% frente al 48%. Desde entonces han pasado por Downing Street seis primeros ministros y en breve llegará el séptimo, pero siguen sin encontrar su lugar tras perder el acceso preferente al mercado europeo. Con la excepción de la libra, que se desplomó nada más conocerse el resultado, el Brexit no se ha comportado como un tsunami, sino como una marea que poco a poco ha ido anegándolo todo. Las estimaciones que se han realizado sobre el impacto en el PIB oscilan entre el 3% y el 8%. El país ha crecido menos que las principales economías europeas, que en este tiempo no han atravesado precisamente su mejor momento. Los sucesivos estudios que se han hecho sobre el tema no encuentran otra explicación para semejante brecha que no sea el Brexit. El comercio exterior ha sufrido las consecuencias más visibles. La Unión Europea sigue siendo el primer socio comercial, pero el papeleo en la frontera lo ha encarecido todo. Las pymes exportan un 30% menos y fábricas como la de Nissan, que producía para el mercado europeo, fabrican casi la mitad de vehículos que hace diez años. Los servicios, en cambio, han crecido, pero más a pesar del Brexit que gracias a él. A esto hay que sumarle la conocida como huelga de inversiones. La inversión empresarial está un 18% por debajo de lo esperado y la productividad es un 4% más baja. Pero lo más llamativo es la inmigración. Quienes votaron a favor de marcharse para controlar las fronteras vieron pronto cómo la inmigración neta de fuera de la UE alcanzó el millón de personas en 2023 gracias a las facilidades con los visados que puso Boris Johnson para que la economía no se detuviese. Esto no ha hecho más que alimentar el malestar popular. Eso ya está teniendo consecuencias políticas. La más reciente la victoria de Reform UK en las elecciones locales del mes de mayo. Tampoco se ha cumplido el sueño del "Singapur del Támesis”. Los sucesivos Gobiernos británicos han regulado más que nunca, los impuestos no han hecho más que aumentar y no queda ya nadie a quien culpar, porque tanto conservadores como laboristas han hecho lo mismo. Entretanto, la deuda pública ronda el 100% sobre el PIB y el déficit es demasiado alto, pero nadie ha encontrado el modo de cuadrar las cuentas. Es muy improbable una reincorporación a corto plazo por la crónica inestabilidad política y la cercanía en el tiempo del referéndum, pero hay margen para acuerdos sectoriales, especialmente en servicios financieros e inmigración cualificada europea. En la calle son conscientes del error, el 57% de los británicos cree hoy que salir no les ha reportado ningún beneficio real. Con todo, la lección que deberían extraer los británicos más que económica es psicológica. Cargar todos los males de un país sobre una sola causa es una forma especialmente dañina de pensamiento mágico. Quienes hoy proponen el reingreso como solución definitiva podrían estar cayendo en el mismo error. Las tareas pendientes como afrontar la ineficiencia administrativa, estabilizar la deriva política y aligerar la carga regulatoria y fiscal, siguen una década después sin resolverse.

What if your deepest expertise is the very thing making you harder to understand? British music producer turned strategic story producer Rob D. Willis joins Park Howell on the Business of Story to explain why complexity kills communication — and how story structure gives your audience exactly the right combination of connections to get you, what you're about, and what you're asking them to do. Rob has spent years helping tech founders, corporate leaders, and change-makers in Berlin and beyond simplify their most complex ideas into stories that move people to act. In this episode, he brings the frameworks, the neuroscience, and the real-world case studies to prove it. What you'll discover: Why the curse of expertise turns your knowledge into noise — and how story is the antidote The four audience types (friendly, adversarial, apathetic, uneducated) that should reshape every high-stakes conversation How the Downing Street communication grid turns your story into a replicable action plan The three types of complexity — intrinsic, extraneous, and germane — and which one you actually control Why your brain runs on narrative, not logic (and what dopamine, cortisol, and oxytocin have to do with it) How a bank board member's "sand vs. stones" story changed the way Rob thinks about strategic communication About Rob D.
