It's been another turbulent week for Labour after Keir Starmer announced a crackdown on legal migration. The prime minister gave what has since become a controversial speech suggesting the UK is at risk of becoming an “island of strangers” – and home secretary Yvette Cooper announced an end to all social care visas, tighter rules for highly skilled visas, more rigorous English language tests, and more. Host Lucy Fisher is joined by the FT's Robert Shrimsley and Jim Pickard to dissect the policies, as well as the reaction to Starmer's speech and where Labour's position leaves the Tories on immigration. Plus, the panel delves into the Downing Street briefing about a whole host of new prison reforms set to drop next week.Follow Lucy on Bluesky or X: @lucyfisher.bsky.social, @LOS_Fisher; Jim @pickardje.bsky.social; Robert @robertshrimsley, @robertshrimsley.bsky.socialWhat did you think of this episode?

Another week, another sticky situation for the prime minister and some of his MPs - this time it's centred around his language on immigration.When Sir Keir Starmer announced his White Paper, he argued that Britain "risked becoming an island of strangers" if immigration levels were not cut.So was he intentionally evoking Enoch Powell's infamous 1968 Rivers Of Blood speech? Or was this a big mistake?Also, with the Assisted Dying Bill back in parliament this week, Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman go on a tour of the British Isles to look at how different parliaments are approaching their legislation.

Is Starmer Labour's Enoch Powell? Why has Labour REALLY shifted right on immigration? On today's #NCFDeprogrammed we speak with James Price, former government Senior Special Advisor and Chief of Staff.

This week saw potentially the boldest moment of Keir Starmer's leadership, as the Government announced its white paper - Restoring Control over the Immigration System. According to the Prime Minister, it marks a a significant overhaul of UK immigration policy.The headlines, however, have been less kind - focussing on the wording of his speech announcing the plans, specifically on the phrase ‘island of strangers'... Some were quick to compare this to Enoch Powell's infamous ‘Rivers of Blood' speech in which Powell talks of white British people becoming ‘strangers in their own country'.Hannah Barnes is joined by Andrew Marr and Rachel Cunliffe.Sign up to the New Statesman's daily politics newsletter: Morning Call Submit a question for a future episode: You Ask Us Hosted on Acast.

Keir Starmer has succeeded in keeping immigration at the top of the news agenda for another day – although he may not be happy with the headlines. After his set-piece announcement yesterday, the Prime Minister is caught between fire from both sides. On the left, he is accused of ‘pandering' to Nigel Farage and even echoing the rhetoric of Enoch Powell's ‘Rivers of Blood' speech – with regard to Starmer's statement about Britain becoming an ‘island of strangers'. Meanwhile, Farage has called the Prime Minister ‘insincere' and ‘playing catch-up'. Within Labour, some backbench MPs have broken ranks. But it is the quiet, soft-left faction – already uneasy about winter fuel, foreign aid etc. – that will concern the PM most. Might immigration be the issue that forces them to rebel? And is this really a departure for Keir Starmer, or a return to the language of New Labour? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and Danny Shaw, former adviser to Yvette Cooper. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Sir Keir Starmer is under fire for saying the UK could become an "island of strangers" unless new curbs on migration bring the numbers down - but are comparisons with Enoch Powell and 'Rivers of Blood' misplaced?Hugo Rifkind unpacks the politics of the day with Libby Purves and James Marriott. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Keir Starmer has promised to take a tougher stance on immigration — but there are fears the government's new ban on the recruitment of foreign care workers could deepen Britain's care crisis, with providers warning it could lead to care home closures due to significant staffing issues.Since 1997, there have been 25 official reviews into the UK's broken care system, yet little meaningful change. We're joined by someone who has brought the issue to the political forefront: Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey. His moving personal story of caring for his disabled son, John, struck a chord across party lines — and in his new book - Why I Care: And why care matters - he's calling for urgent reform.He also explains why he disagrees with the Prime Minister's use of language announcing those immigration reforms, why he's confident that he can match Nigel Farage's appeal to former Tory voters, and why Donald Trump's position on the Ukraine/Russia conflict amounts to little more than appeasement of Vladimir Putin.Plus, it's our first podcast birthday!

In the 24 hours since giving his hard hitting speech on immigration, Keir Starmer and his cabinet have faced accusations his language was channeling that of the far right 1960s politician Enoch Powell. He of the 'River of Blood' speech, in 1968. We talk to Lord Alf Dubs, the child refugee and moral conscience of the nation, about how he sees the Prime Minister's language. And why the words matter.

PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, May 13: Papers discuss the trade deal agreed between the US and China. Where it is celebrated in the Chinese press, the American press is more critical. Also, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming under fire for his comments on immigration. Next, preparations are under way for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, where a new dress code has been announced. Finally, The Times reports that pets provide us with more comfort than our partners. Papers worldwide are covering the trade deal between the United States and China. The English-language government paper China Daily calls the deal a positive step for the global economy. The article says that China hopes that the US will "fully rectify its erroneous practice of imposing unilateral tariffs". The South China Morning Post has the deal on its front page. The paper calls it a major de-escalation and a win for both sides, but in particular for Beijing. In the US, Politico is looking at why the two countries pulled back from the edge. The article says that the deal came as the US faced a potential downturn. The Atlantic offers up an interesting way of understanding the latest trade deal. It compares Trump's deals to con artists playing a switch and bait card game, where the dealer "talks non-stop". Although the game is made to look like you stand a fair chance, you are actually being swindled. The Guardian, though, seems to think that the noisy card dealer might have swindled himself. It argues that the 90-day pause to the trade war still falls short of repairing what was effectively a trade embargo.In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming under fire for his rhetoric on immigration, which is widely criticised on the British front pages. The Independent's headline reads: "Dismay at PM over 'island of strangers' rhetoric". The "island of strangers" quote has been likened to late far-right politician Enoch Powell's infamous "rivers of blood" speech. The Guardian accuses the Labour prime minister of trying to combat the rise of the far-right party Reform that made significant gains in recent local elections. The Times is highlighting the aims of the new policies on its front page and in particular, Starmer's promise that it will curb 100,000 arrivals a year. Meanwhile the right-wing tabloids are ridiculing the fact that Starmer is being ridiculed. The Daily Mail also says that he is taking people for fools by announcing an immigration crackdown after years of backing open borders.Film fans are looking forward to the iconic red carpet at Cannes this Tuesday, but Variety brings us news that the film festival has some new rules this year: nudity and voluminous outfits are banned. FRANCE 24's website looks at the impact of Trump's tariffs on the film industry, particularly after he said he would put tariffs on films made outside of the US. Le Monde tells us that Cannes will be as political as ever. It reports that many key figures of the film industry published an open letter on Monday denouncing the silence of the film industry in the face of what they called a genocide in Gaza.Finally, scientists have found that cats and dogs are more comforting than our human partners, The Times reports. The survey of 30,000 people found that pets outranked not only spouses but also children and friends as the preferred form of emotional support.You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Keir Starmer has been accused of apeing Enoch Powell after warning Britain could become ‘an island of strangers' without reforms to the immigration regime. Also, we speak to Elif Sarican about the Kurdish Worker's Party disbanding, and Jeremy Corbyn about how the media has failed Gaza. With Michael Walker and Helena AKA No Justice MTG

Sunday Telegraph columnist and author SImon Heffer discusses some of the most contentious issues in politics today - illegal immigration, welfare, the rise of Reform, the plight of the Tory Party, and Keir Starmer's Prime Ministership - and reflects on British political figures, including Enoch Powell, whose official biography he wrote.

In this IEA Book Club event, Sir Vernon Bogdanor discusses his new book "Making The Weather: Six Politicians Who Changed Modern Britain" with IEA Executive Director Tom Clougherty. Bogdanor examines how certain politicians have shaped Britain's political landscape, focusing particularly on three figures: Aneurin Bevan, Enoch Powell, and Keith Joseph. The discussion explores how these individuals challenged the prevailing consensus of their times and influenced British politics far beyond their immediate careers. The conversation delves into Bevan's creation of the NHS and its lasting impact, Powell's complex political positions beyond his controversial immigration speech, and Keith Joseph's role in developing what would become known as Thatcherite economics. Bogdanor brings fresh insights to these familiar figures, drawing on personal interviews and historical research to paint a fuller picture of their motivations and achievements. Throughout the discussion, Bogdanor and Clougherty explore parallels between these historical figures and contemporary British politics, including Brexit, the future of the Conservative Party, and the challenges of political communication in modern Britain. The event concludes with Bogdanor's thoughts on whether the Thatcher era is coming to an end and what might replace it. This is a public episode.

He tells the story of how Democrats responded to class dealignment through the careers of two consultants, Stan Greenberg and Doug Schoen—a story that, following these two men, also takes us to the UK, Israel, and South Africa. We discuss what happened to the New Deal coalition, arguments about how to appeal to working class voters drifting right, the limits—and necessity—of polling and even focus groups, why Bill Clinton's role in the rise of neoliberalism is more complicated than you might believe, lessons for the American left from their being crushed in Israel, and what all this might mean for 2024.Sources:Timothy Shenk, Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics(2024)Douglas E.

Writer and editor at Verso John Merrick (@johnpmerrick) joins the show this week to talk about the rise of Britain's new right wing in the aftermath of the Conservative election defeat. John explains how this new right wing movement are younger, more welcoming of racism and violence, and, of course, much more online. He also notes how in these digital spaces, within all the Groyper memes, is the idolising of Enoch Powell, an whose fantasies of race wars across the country they are hoping to fulfil.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the housing crisis! This week we have a very special guest, housing lawyer Nick Bano, with a hugely enlightening and at times shocking lesson in just how we got into this mess. Drawing on his searing new book Against Landlords, Nick argues that the YIMBY / NIMBY argument is distracting us from the real problem - landlordism (even if we build more bloody houses, who will be able to buy them??) What does Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech tell us about the long history of racism in the private rented sector? Why do all the worst people want to build on the Green Belt? What does it mean when Keir Starmer says he will build a "patriotic economy" through home ownership? Just how recently was landlordism unprofitable? And HOW can we bring in old pal Marx and use the state to fix all this?   Against Landlords: How to Solve the Housing Crisis (Verso) by Nick Bano is OUT NOW, do go and buy a copy.   *** FOR MORE, please join our Patreon!! *** ONLY £4 A MONTH TO SUPPORT YOUR FAVOURITE CULTURAL HISTORIANS - AND GET 25+ BONUS EPISODES AND A CURSED OBJECTS STICKER PACK!   Theme music and production: Mr Beatnick Artwork: Archie Bashford

Three days after one of the most devastating IRA attacks launched upon British soil, the Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath called an election, in circumstances that had never been more dire. Running against him was the veteran Labour leader, Harold Wilson, now as tired and beleaguered as his rival, and whose party was increasingly divided by internal conflict. Jeremy Thorpe, the charming but reckless leader of the liberal party, had also thrown his hat into the ring. As the election drew closer, the parties were neck and neck, and with the sense of national hysteria and economic chaos rising, escalated by a baying press and the likes of Enoch Powell, the stakes had never been higher. Could the longstanding Labour and Conservative duopoly finally be broken? Join Dominic and Tom for the second part of their series on 1974, one of the most disastrous years in British history, as they discuss the terrible circumstances surrounding the seismic February election, and its momentous outcome.     *The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024* Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!  Buy your tickets here: therestishistory.com Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

A new fortnightly series of Ros Taylor's exploration of the post-War promises Britain made to itself… and whether they were kept. In this edition: the quest for cheap, easy-to-access, stigma-free contraception wasn't the simple progression to female freedom that you might think. The wartime emancipation of women – not just into work but into “fraternisation” with American servicemen – created a stereotype of “loose” women and racist judgment against Black GIs. Birth control in the 50s was dangerous and hard to obtain. And one of the key advocates of the Pill was Enoch Powell. With new interviews and archive material, Ros explores the long and winding road to women's control of their own fertility… and whether our new obsession with “wellness” might be taking women backwards. (Listener note: this edition contains contemporary quotes from the 40s and 50s featuring antiquated racial language). • “Since no ‘decent' woman was having sex outside marriage, it was unthinkable to promote ways of avoiding pregnancy.” – Ros Taylor • “When it came to sex, most of the risk fell on women. And yet ‘loose' women were blamed for luring men – and spreading disease.” – Ros Taylor • “Women's sexual desires were never taken into account on contraception, only men's – and the pill didn't really change that.” – Dr Claire Jones • “The Pill recast the whole choreography of relationships.” – Mary Kenny Written and presented by Ros Taylor. Produced by Jade Bailey. Voiceovers by Imogen Robertson and Seth Thévoz. Original music by Dubstar. Managing Editor: Jacob Jarvis. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.

What's this? A game about Enoch Powell the British politician from the 70's? Or is it about the blind guy Denzel Washington played who was really into the bible? or is it about the many breasted one?

Michael Heseltine is a politician with a long political memory. He heard Neville Chamberlain declare war on Germany in 1939. He saw Suez unfold. He attended Churchill's funeral. He's served Conservative prime minister after Conservative prime minister and became the man who eventually even brought down Margaret Thatcher. He never reached the highest office himself, but having seen so many who did up close, and witnessed so much of Britain's political journey over the last century, there can be few who can offer more perspective, more wisdom about the state we are in and where we might yet go, than he. In the latest of our extended political interviews, Lewis talks to Heseltine about his life, his journey, his passionate belief that we must re-enter the EU and how he worries that the current Home Secretary is echoing the rhetoric and division of Enoch Powell.Editor: Tom HughesSenior Producer: Gabriel RadusProducer: Laura FitzPatrickPlanning Producer: Alex BarnettSocial Media Editor: Georgia FoxwellVideo Producer: Will Gibson-SmithYou can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The News Agents".The News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.

In some breaking news, HOPE not hate researchers have unearthed the deeply alarming views of the Conservative candidate for London Mayor, Susan Hall. Hall has liked posts endorsing Enoch Powell, Islamophobic tropes about Sadiq Khan, supported the myth that the 2020 American election was stolen from Donald Trump and expressed a disdain for the press and democracy. But what ought to happen now?On this episode of Radio 43, Nick and Georgie sit down to discuss the ins and outs of the shocking Susan Hall revelations, what the party needs to do now and how this case sits within the broader context of concerning Conservative Party incidents.HOPE not hate has been banging the drum about the scale of anti-Muslim views within the Conservatives for many years, and Hall's candidacy suggests that little is being done to make sure that those in the party with deeply worrying views are rooted out.As part of this campaign, we have written to the Chair of the Conservative party, Greg Hands, presenting a dossier of evidence and stating that the party must suspend Hall and undertake a full investigation into her.Help make this happen by signing our open letter.Read the full, shocking details into the Susan Hall case.

In the first of a series of Summer Specials Steve Richards reflects on the role of troublemakers in British politics. This is the chance for the whole Rock N Roll Politics co-operative to hear an episode from the Patreon series on troublemakers.  Today Steve focuses on Enoch Powell who made one speech that rightly led to him being sacked from the front bench, never to return. He still managed to torment Prime Ministers from the backbenches and influenced the outcome of at least one general election.  Other episodes in the series are available on Patreon and look at Tony Benn, Robin Cook and Nigel Farage.  Support Rock N Roll Politics on Patreon and get exclusive benefits including bonus episodes and much more: https://www.patreon.com/RockNRollPolitics Rock N Roll Politics is live at the Edinburgh Festival from Sunday August 13th with a different show every day.

“As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Romans, I seem to see "the Tiber foaming with blood". That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror across the Atlantic but which is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century.” That was Enoch Powell, the Tory MP who delivered his infamous “Rivers of Blood" speech on April 20th 1968. On the same day that Powell offered his apocalyptic vision of a Britain that opened its doors to immigrants, the FBI added James Earl Ray to its list of ten most wanted fugitives. Why? Two weeks prior, James Earl Ray had assassinated Dr. King in Memphis. On his death's eve, Dr. King had given a speech posthumously referred to as the “I Have Been to the Mountaintop” speech. Addressing the crowd, Dr. King said: “In the human rights revolution, if something isn't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed.” For Dr. King the progress of colored persons was vital to human progress. For Powell, it was the end. Dr. King's influence has far exceeded that of Powell's, and the world is better off for it, but in the UK we don't learn about the debate over the Race Relations Act. We don't learn about Powell being sacked by Ted Heath from the shadow cabinet because of his speech. We don't learn about Paul Stephenson and the bus boycott in Bristol, but we do learn about the bus boycott in Birmingham Alabama.  As in other areas of public life, the UK takes its lead on race relations and the study of civil rights, from the US. This was exemplified in June 2020, when in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, people across Britain and the world took to the streets to protest racism. In London, protesters marched in Parliament Square, and in Bristol, they pulled down the statue of Edward Colston and tossed it into the river, mirroring similar actions in the US where confederate statues had been toppled. This spurred a series of debates and actions across the UK about racism in Britain. For one of our guests, this is exactly the problem. Tomiwa Owolade is a writer and critic whose latest book, This Is Not America: Why Black Lives in Britain Matter (2023) argues that we should consider race from a British perspective, not an American one. Our second guest is Dr. Remi Adekoya, a lecturer at York University and author of two books, Biracial Britain (2021), and It's Not About Whiteness, It's About Wealth (2023).

Official figures released last week showed net migration into the UK had topped 600,000, a new record. But the politics of migration has a long history — from the Napoleonic wars, to Windrush, Enoch Powell and Brexit. In this week's episode, Tom and Helen discuss this history and what it tells us about Britain today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In which I alienate everyone. I don't believe local parties should have the exclusive right to select candidates; the leadership must have a big say. But I also believe it was an overreaction and strategic misjudgement to suspend Jeremy Corbyn from Labour, and then bar him from being a candidate. What will the consequences be for Keir Starmer?

This was my first in person podcast recording and I had the pleasure to talk to Tarsem Singh Sandhu. Tarsem Singh Sandhu is a notable figure in the Sikh community for his advocacy for the right to wear the turban while working as a bus driver in Wolverhampton, England in the 1960s. He was one of the first Sikh bus drivers in the country to wear a turban and grow his beard and as a result faced discrimination, including a two year suspension by the Wolverhampton Transport Committee. Despite facing opposition, Sandhu stood firm in his beliefs and refused to remove his turban, becoming a symbol of strength and resilience for the Sikh community. His actions paved the way for greater religious freedom in the workplace, ensured a conversation in the House of Lords and forced a change in UK law. 00:00 - Introduction 00:30 - Quick summary 01:26 - When did you come to the UK and what was the reason for it? 03:55 - What was the UK like? 06:04 - Can you describe the events that took place between your arrival in the UK and becoming a bus driver? 12:20 - Why did you decide to drive a bus if things were going well? 17:40 - Newspapers at the time reported that you were clean-shaven when you started your job.

In my conversation with Andy Burnham, we discuss whether he had more power as a cabinet minister, or now as Mayor of Greater Manchester, his policies since becoming mayor, whether he has become more radical... and the similarities - or lack of them - with the build up to Labour's victory in 1997.

Liz Truss's comeback was delusional in its lofty grandeur, yet also very narrow. Why did she choose outlets with limited audiences? The answer tells us much about the modern Conservative Party.

Miranda Carter talks to Tom about the history of the world's longest-running interview show, Desert Island Discs, from its early scripted days on the BBC Forces Programme in the 1940s, in the hands of its creator, Roy Plomley, to the more probing and revealing styles of Sue Lawley and Kirsty Young.

Britain in the 1840s should have been, observes Simon Heffer, a time of great social improvement. Instead it was a country that was beset by poverty, unrest, assassination attempts on young Queen Victoria and her Prime Minister, and fears of revolution. Yet just forty years later, it was as if none of that had ever happened. It had become a prosperous and progressive nation, transformed by advances not only in industrialization, but also in politics, science, religion, and education. That Britain had become such a society was not an accident, but the result of intelligent and directed purpose The story of that purpose, and what it wrought, is the subject of Heffer's book High Minds: The Victorians and the Birth of Modern Britain (Pegasus Books, 2022). It is an investigation not simply of political, social, or cultural change, but of a change of mind—by which I mean not merely changing ideas, like changing clothes from season to season, but of changing the way things are seen Simon Heffer is an eminent British journalist, essayist, historian, and author of numerous books, including lives of the 19th century Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle and 20th century politician Enoch Powell, and a series of histories of Britain of which High Minds is the first. For Further Investigation In our wide-ranging conversation we touched on topics covered in previous episodes of the podcast. If you haven't already, then listen to Jonathan Rose talk about the intellectual life of the British working class; or Will Hay describe the importance of an obscure Prime Minister. High Minds was published in 2013 in Britain, but is only now being published in the United States by Pegasus Books. It has been followed by The Age of Decadence–A History of Britain: 1880-1914, which was confusingly published in the United States before High Minds. Staring at God: Britain in the Great War has not been published in America; you'll need to order it from Britain along with the good Cadbury's chocolate they keep for themselves. The final volume in the series, now being written, will end the story in 1939. Al Zambone is a historian and the host of the excellent podcast Historically Thinking.
