Learn more about how the UK labour market is changing in the age of AI in LinkedIn's latest report: ⁠https://lnkd.in/labour-market-report⁠  In a special early interview at 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Andy Burnham joins Jimmy to discuss why too many young people are struggling to get their first break, and what government, employers and senior leaders can do about it. Reflecting on his own journey from an unpaid local newspaper reporter to Prime Minister, Andy explains why family connections often matter more than qualifications, why work shadowing can transform a young person's confidence, and why every leader should help open the door for someone without an established network. They also discuss the future of education, apprenticeships, AI, recruitment, social capital and why Britain needs to value technical careers as much as university degrees. Andy shares what he looks for when hiring, why creativity and communication remain essential skills in the age of AI, and the leadership lessons that have shaped his career.

Fútbol y Malvinas

Desde hace un tiempo cada vez que Argentina e Inglaterra juegan un partido de fútbol la cuestión de las Malvinas regresa a los titulares de prensa. Ocurrió en el reciente Mundial, disputado en suelo estadounidense, cuando los jugadores argentinos, tras remontar y ganar la semifinal por 2 a 1, desplegaron sobre el césped una pancarta con el lema "Las Malvinas son Argentinas". El gesto bastó para reavivar un contencioso que muchos daban por congelado. La reacción británica no se hizo esperar. Keir Starmer, ya con un pie fuera de Downing Street, respondió con ironía que el Mundial quizá no fuera suyo, pero las Malvinas desde luego sí que lo eran. Nigel Farage, más beligerante, pidió rearmar a la Royal Navy para prevenir una nueva invasión. En Argentina sucedió lo contrario, derecha e izquierda celebraron al unísono la victoria en la semifinal y la pancarta de las Malvinas, algo insólito en un país políticamente tan polarizado. Que se repita la guerra de 1982 es hoy por hoy imposible. Las armadas de ambos países son una sombra de lo que fueron. Ni Argentina puede invadir las islas ni el Reino Unido está ya en las mismas condiciones para recuperarlas. De esa guerra se acuerdan mucho más en Argentina que en el Reino Unido, donde muchos no saben ni ubicarlas correctamente en el mapa. En Argentina las Malvinas son omnipresentes. No hay ciudad o pueblo que no tenga una calle, un parque o una plaza dedicado al archipiélago o, mejor dicho, a reclamar la argentinidad de archipiélago. Es el gran consenso nacional que unifica a un país siempre enfrentado. En Argentina se ha dado un fenómeno curioso. La invasión la ordenó la junta militar, que era de derechas, pero la causa terminó siendo algo de la izquierda kirchnerista, ya que los gobiernos de Carlos Menem prefirieron bajar el tono sobre este asunto, normalizar las relaciones con los británicos y acercarse a Estados Unidos. Javier Milei, admirador confeso de Thatcher, llegó al poder sin prestar demasiado interés a aquellas islas, pero ha terminado convirtiéndolas en uno de los reclamos de su gobierno. Milei simplemente se ha adaptado a la nueva situación. El Reino Unido está mucho más aislado que en 1982. Hace años abandonó la Unión Europea, que en aquel momento sancionó a Argentina, y su relación con Estados Unidos no es la que era en la guerra fría. Incluso en Chile, el único aliado hispanoamericano que tuvieron en la guerra, ahora no ven mal que se negocie la soberanía. El mayor obstáculo sigue siendo la voluntad de los isleños, descendientes de los colonos británicos que poblaron las islas hace casi dos siglos y que, en 2013, votaron casi por unanimidad seguir siendo un territorio británico de ultramar. La memoria selectiva británica olvida que, antes de la guerra, estaban negociando ceder la soberanía a cambio de que los argentinos se comprometiesen a respetar que las Malvinas disfrutasen de un estatuto especial. La invasión reventó aquel arreglo salomónico. De no haberse producido las Malvinas ya serían plenamente argentinas. Pero son más británicas que nunca. También son mucho más ricas, pero es previsible que, si se dan las condiciones adecuadas, esa negociación que quedó aparcada hace casi medio siglo, se reinicie.

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, host Dominic Bowen is joined by Lord Peter Ricketts, the UK's first National Security Advisor, former Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office, and former British Ambassador to France, to unpack what Andy Burnham's rise to Downing Street means for Britain's place in the world.Ricketts examines why Burnham, arriving as the UK's seventh Prime Minister in ten years with almost no track record on foreign policy, inherits a fragile but consequential legacy from Keir Starmer, from steadfast support for Ukraine to a more assertive European security posture. He explains why personal relationships between world leaders are not a soft add-on but a genuine strategic asset, why Burnham will have to build trust with Trump, Macron, and Merz essentially from scratch, and why a hard right shift in France under Marine Le Pen could complicate cooperation on defence and migration. The conversation also covers the Strategic Defence Review's warnings on warfighting readiness, the sobering "letters of last resort" every new Prime Minister must write for Britain's nuclear submarines, and why Britain's credibility in NATO depends on defence spending it may struggle to sustain.Key topics discussed:Why Burnham's political style raises real questions about his readiness for crisis decision makingWhy personal relationships between leaders matter as much as institutions and interestsThe risk that a Le Pen led France could complicate UK-EU defence and migration cooperationWhy continuity on Ukraine is critical, and the spending trade-offs Burnham will face at homeWhat Britain needs to do to keep pulling its weight in NATOThe reality of nuclear command responsibility that awaits every incoming Prime MinisterThe international risks Lord Ricketts is watching most closely today, from war in Europe to climate changeThis episode is relevant to anyone interested in international relations, defence policy, European security, diplomacy, or international risk. If you are interested in Lord Rickett's book: Peace Makers: Shaping the modern world: the men and women of the Foreign Office in WWII.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk. From geopolitical volatility and organised crime, to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare, each episode explores the forces transforming our world and what smart leaders must do to navigate them. Whether you're a board member, policymaker or risk professional, The International Risk Podcast delivers actionable insights, sharp analysis, and real-world stories that matter.Dominic Bowen is the host of The International Risk Podcast and Europe's leading expert on international risk and crisis management.

This week: has Andy Burnham really brought change to Downing Street – or merely repackaged Labour's old guard? Has Ed Miliband been sidelined by being sent to the Foreign Office, a ‘non-job' in which he can do little harm? The panel also asks whether Burnham is prepared to make the difficult decisions required of a prime minister – and why the Conservatives have been so reluctant to demand a general election.Also: is America's socialist left taking over the Democratic party? Candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America are gaining ground, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be underestimated as a future presidential nominee and parts of the radical left are beginning to embrace gun ownership. Could Bernie Sanders have beaten Donald Trump in 2016 – had the Democrats not chosen ‘the only person who could conceivably lose' to him?Plus: who really blew up the Nord Stream pipeline? The accepted account holds that a small band of Ukrainians carried out one of the most sophisticated acts of sabotage in recent history. But does the evidence look less like a professional intelligence operation than ‘somebody establishing an alibi'?Produced by Patrick Gibbons, Oscar Edmondson and Gareth Roy. Hosted on Acast.

Andy BurnhamAs I conclude this column on Monday afternoon Andy Burnham is taking up his position as British Prime Minister. As I dispatch these lines he is addressing the media and supporters outside 10 Downing Street. I wish him well. I also hope he will be the last British Prime Minister to interfere in Irish affairs. Our ambition is for the people of Ireland to govern ourselves. As soon as possible. When that happens we will govern Ireland in the interests of Ireland. Mr Burnham, like every British PM governs in the interests of the English establishment. He like his predecessors is a Unionist. Let's work to ensure that he is the Prime Minister who ends the Union.‘Women's Voices, Hopes for a New Ireland'Féile an Phobail is the launch pad each year of exiting new projects, and especially new books. One such book this year is ‘Women's Voices, Hopes for a New Ireland.' The book is published by Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland and will launched at 1pm on 4th August in Áras Uí Chonghaile by Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald TD.The book is compiled and edited by Grace McDermott and Aoife Ferguson and is an innovative collection of contributions from 62 women across Ireland and the diaspora sharing their hopes for the future and a new Ireland.The women are drawn from all sections of society. They are writers, actors, musicians, community workers, political activists, health workers. They include Protestant voices. This book is a mixture of written contributions, poetry, song lyrics and artwork. They reflect the experiences of these women to partition and a society that has often held them down, treated them as second-class citizens and pushed them to the margins of history.The book is being launched at this years' Féile an Phobail. The launch will be ion 4th August in Áras Uí Chonghaile on 4 August. You can register to attend here: Women's Voices- Hopes for a New Ireland Tickets, Tuesday, August 4  •  1 PM - 2 PM | EventbriteIt will also be launched at the Derry Féile on the 12 August in Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin, 37 Great James Street Derry BT48 7DF at 2pm and other events are being planned.It will be available from An Fhuiseog 55 Bóthar na bhFál, BT12 4PD, https://anfhuiseog.ie/And https://sinnfeinbookshop.com/Water Crisis in GazaImagine in the midst of this very hot, and dry weather you did not have access to fresh drinking water. Could not have a shower or bath. Wash clothes. Prepare food. Make tea or coffee whenever you want. Fill a water container for storage  in the fridge for a cold drink. Have a fridge?That is the reality of life for almost two million women and children and men living in the Gaza Strip. Israel's genocidal policies has resulted in the deliberate and targeted destruction of water, sanitation and hygiene systems (in Gaza. It has created a humanitarian catastrophe. This is especially true for women who are pregnant or are menstruating. According to a recent Oxfam report, women cannot get the water they need to keep clean and hydrated.It reports that the extensive damage to water networks, treatment facilities, and sewage systems “has crushed water production, so it is a fraction of pre-October 2023 levels.” In addition, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has revealed that Gaza's water production has dropped to less than a quarter of what it was three years ago and that 89% of water plants and sewage facilities “have been destroyed or partially damaged.”For a family in the west it's a simple matter to turn the water tap on to access all you need. In Gaza average daily use of water per person has dropped from the minimum humanitarian standard of 15 litres per day to around three litres.Rubber Bullet injures Marwan BarghoutiRegular readers will know that I have written recently on several occasions about the imprisonment and torture of Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti. Marwan, now aged 67, has been held in Israeli prisons for 24 years after a widely criticised show trial in 2002. He is a senior leader in Fatah and is viewed by Palestinians as their Nelson Mandela.Over the years he has endured significant brutality but the most recent occurred in Ganot prison several weeks ago when a prison guard entered his cell and shot him in the leg with a rubber bullet. During the decades of conflict in the North rubber and plastic bullets were frequently used by the RUC and British Army. They were an attempt to terrorise citizens. Seventeen people were killed by rubber and plastic bullets. Eight of these were children and all but one was from nationalist areas.However, the Israeli rubber bullets are of a significantly different design to those used here. Israel's rubber bullets are “steel covered with a thin rubber coat.” They cause more fatalities and life changing injuries.Marwan's son Arab Barghouti, said the family only learned about the incident from his father's lawyer and that Barghouti had not received medical treatment for the injury. Two weeks ago the Arab League called for an international commission of inquiry into what it said were "repeated assaults" on Barghouti. So support freedom for Marwan Barghouti. Log on to https://freemarwan.org/Methodism and the Peace Process‘From Feakle to the Falls and Derry's Wall - Methodism and the Peace Process, 1985-2025 by David Gallagher is an important book and a significant contribution to the discussion on peace-making in Ireland.David has been a member of the Methodist Church in Ireland's Council on Social Responsibility since 1986. He was the Northern Executive's Lay Secretary from 1990 to 2003. His book is a detailed and critical assessment of the role of Methodism and I'm still reading it.I have a firm belief that all of us have a story to tell. My personal focus has been on republicans and working class people telling our story but the truth is the right and the need to tell our own story belongs to everyone. And the Methodists have a story worth telling. So well done David Gallagher.David will be taking part in Féile an Phobail on 1pm on the 31st July in St. Mary's University College on the Falls Road.

Burnham: giro a la izquierda

Andy Burnham, séptimo primer ministro del Reino Unido en los últimos diez años, hizo este lunes su entrada triunfal en el 10 de Downing Street prometiendo que un Estado más grande y más fuerte resolverá los problemas económicos del país y le devolverá su estabilidad política. De pie frente a la residencia oficial del primer ministro, Burnham dijo ser plenamente consciente de que el Reino Unido ha estado cambiando de líderes a un ritmo demasiado rápido y que eso exige que la nueva generación de políticos respondan a los desafíos que plantea la sociedad británica. Burnham, que tiene 56 años y a sus espaldas carga una larga carrera política, esbozó una visión general del país en la que un Estado más intervencionista revertiría lo que llamó 40 años de neoliberalismo. Burnham quiere descentralizar el poder desde Londres hacia las regiones, se comprometió a poner “los elementos esenciales de la vida bajo control estatal” y dijo que su primera política sería acabar con la gente sin hogar durmiendo en las calles. También prometió presentar a finales de este año un plan a diez años para el país que ofrecería “un nuevo modelo político y un nuevo modelo económico”. Entre las medidas que se están considerando figuran los controles de alquileres y mayores subvenciones públicas para las facturas de energía y los billetes de transporte público. Las primeras ya han entrado en vigor con la retirada del IVA de la factura de la luz. Lo que no se sabe es cómo financiará esos gastos extra. Quizá por eso mismo el coste de la deuda a diez años del Gobierno británico se incrementó tan pronto como terminó el discurso. Los inversores apuntan a que la propuesta económica de Burnham inclinará aún más el Reino Unido hacia la izquierda, con modestos aumentos del gasto público financiados mediante mayores impuestos y más endeudamiento. Pero su margen de maniobra es limitado ya que tanto la carga fiscal como la deuda pública se encuentran cerca de máximos históricos. Entretanto se prevé que la economía solo crezca un 1 % este año. Burnham ha aprovechado para rehacer el gabinete de Starmer y ponerlo a su gusto. Ha nombrado a John Healey, exsecretario de Defensa, como ministro de Hacienda en sustitución de la todopoderosa Rachel Reeves. Healey dimitió hace menos de dos meses alegando que no tenía suficiente financiación para defensa. El nombramiento de este centrista busca tranquilizar a los inversores, que temían que el puesto fuera para un candidato de izquierda más radical. A Ed Milliband le ha entregado la cartera de Exteriores, pero ha mantenido a Shabana Mahmood como ministra de Interior. Para marcar un nuevo tono político, Burnham se presenta como un outsider de clase trabajadora del norte de Inglaterra capaz de sacudir el statu quo londinense. No hay nada de eso. Estudió en Cambridge, fue ministro dos veces con Gordon Brown y alcalde de Manchester durante 9 años. Los dos grandes partidos británicos, los conservadores y los laboristas, están sufriendo en las encuestas a causa del poco crecimiento económico, la inmigración y una crisis del coste de la vida que alimenta una sensación de malestar entre los votantes, que consideran que los políticos tradicionales son incapaces de mejorar su situación. Burnham, como todos los primeros ministros recién llegados, es todavía una incógnita, pero todas las propuestas que trae ya se ensayaron en el pasado con funestas consecuencias. Para analizar su nuevo gabinete nos acompaña hoy Andrea.

Speaking during his inauguration speech on Monday, new UK prime minister – the seventh in the last 10 years, if you're keeping score – Andy Burnham spoke of his mission to "bring back hope" and to make Britain "believe again". Good luck to him. Burnham knows the job ahead is unlikely to be an easy one, but he's put the work in to get here, from emerging as a fresh-faced MP at the turn of the century to failed attempts to take over the Labour leadership in 2010 and 2015, to finally ascending to the lofty halls of No 10 Downing Street. But is Burnham inheriting a poisoned chalice, given the increasingly fractured nature of present-day British politics? How did he go from "King of the North" in Manchester to the top job in London? And can he handle Donald Trump any better than Keir Starmer did? On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Daniel Boffey, Chief Reporter with The Guardian, to discuss the new UK PM's rise to power and why he's likely to call a general election sooner rather than later.

Cambio di stile e forse anche di sostanza a Downing Street: Andy Burnham, il nuovo premier, promette un «nuovo modello economico e politico» e parte in quarta con un piano per ridurre il costo della vita che presenterà già oggi. Completate le formalità di rito - il primo ministro uscente Keir Starmer ieri mattina è andato a Buckingham Palace per rassegnare le dimissioni a Re Carlo III, che poco dopo ha formalmente chiesto al neo-eletto leader laburista di formare un nuovo Governo Burnham è entrato a Downing Street come nuovo premier. Inizia quindi l era del cosiddetto Re del Nord , così chiamato per il successi ottenuti e la popolarità conquistata nei quasi dieci anni da sindaco di Manchester. Nel suo primo discorso Burnham ha detto di essere «profondamente consapevole» del fatto che è il settimo premier britannico dal 2016 e ha dichiarato di voler «mostrare al mondo che la Gran Bretagna può ritrovare la stabilità».Parlando in piedi per strada, senza podio e senza appunti in linea con la sua immagine informale e spontanea, il nuovo premier ha detto che la sua elezione rappresenta «un momento di svolta» che permetterà alla gente di «riprendere il fiato», porterà a un maggiore controllo pubblico delle risorse e a un piano di reindustrializzazione con forte sostegno per le imprese britanniche. Rivolgendosi direttamente alle persone «stanche della politica», soprattutto nelle «zone dimenticate del Paese», Burnham ha promesso un percorso decennale di progresso e miglioramento e una svolta decisiva dopo quarant anni di neoliberismo che non ha portato benefici alla gente.L'intervento di Nicole Degli Innocenti, Il Sole 24 Ore.Salari in calo del 6,6% negli ultimi 30 anni secondo l UpbDal 1990 le retribuzioni lorde sono diminuite in media del 6,6% in termini reali, «con una contrazione concentrata nella parte bassa della distribuzione». E nello stesso arco temporale, «la debole dinamica salariale è stata affiancata dalla diffusione del lavoro a tempo parziale e da una crescente segmentazione del mercato del lavoro per settore, tipologia contrattuale e qualifica, che hanno accentuato la dispersione delle retribuzioni lorde». Questa la fotografia della nota dell'Ufficio parlamentare di bilancio (Upb), intitolata «La dinamica retributiva e il ruolo dell'imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche». In questo contesto, l'Irpef ha inciso in modo sempre più rilevante nel contenere le disuguaglianze prodotte dal mercato del lavoro. Le riforme - in particolare l'introduzione del bonus Irpef nel 2014 e la riforma del 2025, che ha trasposto gli sgravi contributivi nell'imposta - hanno progressivamente ridotto il prelievo sui redditi da lavoro dipendente bassi e medi, «mentre per i redditi più elevati il carico effettivo è aumentato, soprattutto per effetto del drenaggio fiscale legato alla mancata indicizzazione dei parametri dell'imposta», ha segnalato l'Upb.Ne è conseguito un rafforzamento della capacità redistributiva: l'indice di redistribuzione è più che raddoppiato, passando da 0,028 a 0,065. Le riforma dell'Irpef spiegano circa l'80% di questo aumento: «La crescita della redistribuzione è trainata dal rafforzamento della progressività, in parte compensato dalla riduzione dell'aliquota media conseguente agli sgravi introdotti nel tempo», spiega l'Upb.Lilia Cavallari, presidente dell'Ufficio parlamentare di bilancio, è intervenuta ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni.Liste d attesa, per Agenas +1,6 mln cure nei tempi ma ancora 2,8 mln di prenotazioni «fuori»«Passo dopo passo, pur con criticità ancora presenti ma anche con risultati incoraggianti, stiamo iniziando a governare le liste d attesa con i dati, la conoscenza e il dialogo con le Regioni». A sottolineare un primo cambio di passo nella principale magagna della Sanità per i cittadini - e per il governo - è Angelo Tanese, direttore generale dell Agenzia per i servizi sanitari regionali (Agenas) cui è stata affidata dalla legge Schillaci la gestione della Piattaforma nazionale che monitora il fenomeno. E che sta iniziando a dare frutto, come certifica il primo Bollettino che dà conto di un miglioramento nei primi sei mesi di quest anno (rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2025) così come di una serie di elementi che restano ancora fortemente in chiaroscuro. Come quei 2 milioni e 811 mila prenotazioni - per essere puntuali - che le Regioni ancora erogano oltre i tempi di garanzia. Primo aspetto positivo, è che di queste - il cui numero assoluto cresce dai 2,782 milioni dell anno passato per effetto dell aumento complessivo dell attività - aumentano da 552mila a 606mila le prenotazioni effettuate con ritardi contenuti oltre il tempo massimo. Ma è solo un primo squarcio d azzurro.Il cielo decisamente più sereno è dato da quell oltre 1,6 milioni di visite ed esami in più erogate nei tempi di garanzia, seppure con differenze tra Regioni e tra prestazioni. Nel suo focus che consente di seguire mese per mese e Regione per Regione l andamento dei tempi d attesa per 14 tipologie di prime visite e 22 accertamenti diagnostici , Agenas fotografa un aumento delle prime visite erogate nei tempi da circa 5,8 mln a 6,6 con 757mila prestazioni in più nel primo semestre 2026 rispetto al 2025 e una crescita degli accertamenti diagnostici da 4,7 milioni a 5,5 mln pari a 857mila esami aggiuntivi eseguiti entro la soglia temporale massima. In tutto, 1,624 mln di cure che il Ssn è stato in grado di erogare ai cittadini rispettando la legge. Il (buon) motivo per cui Tanese parla di un trend che nel complesso «si conferma positivo» anche considerando il dato «molto positivo» dei miglioramenti sulle prestazioni con classe di priorità urgente (3 giorni) e breve (10 giorni). «La Piattaforma nazionale fornisce oggi una base informativa fondamentale e la amplieremo nel tempo inserendo altre prestazioni - è la promessa -: abbiamo costruito un sistema basato su dati che prima non erano disponibili in modo così sistematico e questo ci consente di agire in modo più mirato e tempestivo. Agenas sta lavorando con ogni singola Regione, in un rapporto di collaborazione e confronto continuo», conclude il Dg.Il commento di Angelo Tanese, Direttore Generale Agenas.

Figures from the industry body, the AHDB, showed a 34 million litre reduction in milk arriving at British processors in June this year, compared to the same time last year, with the record temperatures the main cause. The UK is not alone, drops in milk production in Germany and France are bringing one small glimmer of hope. There are signs that the long slump in prices brought about by a global oversupply is starting to reverse.Andy Burnham moves into 10 Downing Street today, as he becomes the UK's 59th Prime Minister, the seventh in ten years. The relationship between Sir Keir Starmer's government and the farming community soured over Inheritance Tax, and England's stop-start sustainable farming incentive. Wildlife and landscape conservation groups were less than enamoured with a shift in emphasis away from protection and towards 'build baby build'. So what's the one thing they want the new Prime Minister to make his priority?The Royal Welsh Show begins today, and all week we're exploring how Welsh farming policy is evolving.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Andy Burnham will today be crowned Labour leader, before entering Downing Street on Monday. His first speech is expected to argue that Labour has lost touch with the working-class communities it was founded to represent – and to promise a new era of devolution, economic intervention and northern political power.Meanwhile, the shape of Burnham's government is beginning to emerge. Ed Miliband now appears unlikely to become chancellor, amid concerns that he would be too powerful and too closely associated with Labour's north London intellectual set. What does his apparent rejection reveal about the party's new dividing lines? And, as details emerge of a possible 'policy blitz' in the first days of Burnham's premiership, could a wealth tax be on the cards?Noa Hoffman speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The murder of Ann Widdecombe has sent shockwaves through Westminster and reignited the debate over politicians' security. But with questions still unanswered about the motive for the attack, Reform's response has already become politically charged. Is Nigel Farage right to argue that threats against him and his party have not been taken seriously – or is he ‘weaponising' Widdecombe's death for political advantage?Meanwhile, Andy Burnham is preparing to enter Downing Street, but Westminster is still struggling to work out what kind of prime minister he will be. Labour MPs are cautiously optimistic, yet many remain unconvinced that Burnham has the tactical judgement needed when the pressure mounts. With 322 MPs having backed him, his first challenge may be managing the expectations of the hundreds who will miss out on government jobs. Can he turn goodwill into authority – or will his opponents define him before he has a chance to define himself?Plus: Nigel Farage remains under pressure over his finances: is this his 'Mandelson' scandal?
