Podcasts about european research group

With the stench of rebellion hanging around the tearooms of SW1 after ministers announced fresh welfare cuts, this week host Patrick Baker explores the backbench revolts of years past, asking how disobedient MPs really plan and plot against their own parties. Veteran Tory MP David Davis describes how he and other rebels defeated David Cameron's plans to bomb Syria almost by accident — and offers tips on shutting down confrontational government enforcers, or chief whips. Christopher Howarth, a secretive member of the European Research Group of Eurosceptic Tory MPs, was instrumental in defeating Theresa May's EU deal during the Brexit wars. He describes countering the cunning tactics of a Downing Street operation desperately trying to quell rebellions, and how he spotted a loophole in Tory rules that led to May's resignation.  POLITICO senior political correspondent Annabelle Dickson has been gauging the mood among angry would-be Labour rebels — and hearing why some are feeling disillusioned with the direction of their party.  One of those certain to rebel in a Commons vote on welfare is the Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth in Scotland, Brian Leishman, who explains why he's appalled at the cuts to benefits.  But rebels beware: Tony Blair's former no-nonsense chief whip Hilary Armstrong recalls threatening badly behaved MPs with being sent to work on obscure infrastructure committees unless they toed the line. But she insists the best way to deal with rebels — who Blair called his "little darlings" — is a "softly, softly" approach. And Blair's former political secretary John McTernan, sets out why he believes the huge new intake of Labour MPs might be more prone to rebellion and says the current rancor poses a bigger question for the party.

Hugh Linehan is joined in studio by Jennifer Bray, while Pat Leahy is on the line from Brussels where he is covering the EU leaders' summit. As Pat explains in part one of today's Inside Politics podcast, the Israel-Hamas conflict has been top of the agenda there, with hours of negotiation going into the European Union's call for “pauses” in the conflict in Gaza.Also in part one, Jennifer highlights a Cabinet disagreement over future plans for housing Ukrainian refugees here, and the proposal for a 90-day time limit on State accommodation given our lack of capacity.And in part two, the pod discusses the novel suggestion by Minister of State for Northern Ireland and former Chair of the European Research Group, Steve Baker, that a united Ireland referendum should need a ‘super majority' of 60 per cent in the North and the Republic to carry. Something he now feels the UK Brexit vote of 2016 should have required.Plus the panel pick their favourite articles of the week from irishtimes.com:· Gerry Thornley celebrates Johnny Sexton's remarkable rugby career· Our corporation tax policies attracting unwanted international attention writes Cliff Taylor· Karlin Lillington on the massive contradictions of Paddy Cosgrave and Web Summit Hosted on Acast.

The European Research Group was once the most consequential faction in the Conservative party, playing a central role in bringing down former prime minister Theresa May and installing Boris Johnson in Number 10.

Over the weekend, government briefings that they will be looking towards a Swiss-style arrangement with the EU reignited the Brexit rows. Dormant Brexiteers like Nigel Farage and the European Research Group resurfaced, making it clear that they would not accept a so-called 'Chequers 2.0'. On the record, the government has been keen to reject this briefing. So what really happened? Katy Balls speaks to Fraser Nelson and James Forsyth. Produced by Cindy Yu.

In this episode, Liam talks with Steve Baker, Tory MP for Wycombe and Former Brexit Minister. Since entering the House of Commons in 2010, Baker has developed a reputable as a formidable campaigner, someone who can organise and marshal fellow Parliamentarians to pressure governments into action. As chair of the European Research Group of backbench MPs, he played a crucial role in ensuring that Brexit legislation was passed by the House of Commons. Baker has more recently turned his attention to campaigning for ministers to take what he calls “a more realistic approach to the net zero agenda”, particularly in light of the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the third of our summer specials, Sebastian Payne speaks to Steve Baker, the Tory MP for Wycombe and one of the Conservative party's most formidable campaigners. Whether it's through the European Research Group, his work as a Brexit minister or simply his campaigning, Baker is one of the people Downing Street fears the most, because when he's taken on policy positions, it's very difficult to combat him.Produced by Howie Shannon.

Five years after the vote that sealed our exit from the European Union, we've asked two Brexiteers whether it's lived up to their expectations. Baroness Kate Hoey, formerly one of the few Labour eurosceptic MPs, now a non-affiliated peer, and David Jones MP, deputy chairman of the European Research Group of Tory MPs, join Christopher Hope at Telegraph towers to discuss what still needs be done, particularly in Northern Ireland, which countries might take Britain's lead and leave the EU next, and whether ministers are still "crawling" to Brussels.For 30 days' free access to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/chopper |Listen to Brian Moore's Full Contact: www.playpodca.st/fullcontact |Email: chopperspolitics@telegraph.co.uk |

This week we come back to Brexit and ask whether Boris Johnson has a good way out of the current negotiations with the EU over a trade deal. First we talk with Kenneth Armstrong, Professor of European Law, about the thinking and the reality behind the government's Internal Market Bill. Then David, Helen and Chris Brooke explore the politics of success and failure in the negotiations. Can the Union survive? Does the government have a coherent strategy? And how much trouble is Johnson really in?Talking Points:Is the Internal Market Bill just a negotiating tactic, or is it a genuine safeguard for a future world in which there is no trade deal? The government is worried that the wording of the Northern Ireland Protocol risks the possibility of the EU overreaching in its interpretation in ways that would make it more difficult for the UK to pursue its own state aid policy, for example.The government is now saying that it would only invoke these provisions if the EU acts in ‘bad faith.’The problem with that argument is that the agreements already have their own safeguard mechanisms. Why do you need a domestic legal mechanism?The substance of the Internal Market Bill is also getting serious pushback from the devolved authorities.The EU has launched infringement proceedings against the UK. It’s a structured process with different phases. The imperative is to try to seek a resolution without needing to take the action before the Court of Justice.The Commission’s argument is that the UK is acting on bad faith. In the transition period, the UK is effectively treated as a member state. What happens when the UK is fully outside of the transition period? For now at least, all this political theatre isn’t immediately derailing the process of getting an agreement on a future relationship.The ultimate obstacles to a deal are existential: the UK wants to guarantee respect for its autonomy, so does the EU.The EU’s great fear is that the model of a social market economy that it has been building among its member states would be threatened if the UK could engage in regulatory competition or distorted subsidies with the EU.That’s why the level playing field rules and state aid are so important for the EU. There’s also the geopolitical question: the consequences for both sides of not reaching a deal would be significant.Johnson gave his conference speech and he barely mentioned Brexit.The stakes of the ongoing negotiations are as high as they were a year ago, but the political heat—at least for now—has gone out of it.Johnson hopes that if you can get through the next few years and stabilize the Union from the present threats then it will be possible to put the Union on more solid constitutional groundings.This is a politics of crisis. There’s not a clear strategic vision.The pandemic has made the politics of devolution even more complicated because it’s created a de facto English government, which is the UK parliament.The more the Scottish government, the Northern Irish government and the Welsh government disagree about what the rules should be, the more the fact that there is an English government comes to the surface.This becomes an electoral issue too.Is Johnson on his way out?His track record may be a liability where the Union is concerned. There may be better people to lead the Conservative party on the Scottish question.Making a deal with the EU could hurt him with the Spartans of the European Research Group.Johnson’s health could also be an issue; that’s why he’s determined to show that he doesn’t have long-COVID.Mentioned in this Episode:

There's a growing rebellion among backbench Tory MPs that threatens a government defeat over its powers to impose restrictions to fight Covid-19. But Andrea Jenkyns, Conservative MP for Morley and Outwood and deputy chair of the European Research Group, says despite struggling with the issue she'll vote with the government. Plus, Bloomberg Opinion columnist Therese Raphael joins to discuss the chances of a post-Brexit trade deal emerging as the deadline looms, and the difficulties Boris Johnson is facing on the eve of the Conservative conference.

Lord Norman Tebbit, former chairman of the Conservative party and prominent cabinet minister during the Thatcher era joins Christopher Hope to discuss if we're in a Cummings government or a Johnson one, what we think we can learn from the 1980s about the unemployment crisis to come, and the department our Prime Minister would have run in Thatcher's government (spoiler: it's none of them). Plus Mark Francois, the chairman of the European Research Group of Tory MPs, on why he's become pen pals with the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, and Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, Adam Marshall, tells us it's our civic duty to support local businesses as the lockdown eases.

Live at the Conservative Party Conference, Christopher Hope sits down with two men who embody the split within the Conservatives. Leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, sits firmly in the Leave camp and wants Brexit delivered with or without a deal. Former Justice Secretary, David Gauke, voted Remain and is now an independent MP, having lost the Conservative Whip after he voted to block a no deal.We ask them how the party can come back together again and whether Labour MPs are right to accuse the Government of using “dangerous” language -- plus, Jacob Rees-Mogg reveals whether he’s apologised to the Queen following the Supreme Court’s prorogation ruling.Come and see Christopher Hope interview Chairman of the European Research Group of Tory MPs, Steve Baker on Saturday 5th October: https://www.podcastlive.com/upcoming-events/politics-tickets/ |Sign up to free twice-daily WhatsApp audio briefings: http://bit.ly/2XJU05f |Email: choppersbrexitpodcast@telegraph.co.uk |Twitter: @brexitbroadcast |

Woensdagavond heeft het Britse Lagerhuis van zich laten horen. Er werd gestemd over alternatieve plannen voor de Brexit en dat was geen succes te noemen. Voor geen van alle plannen was een meerderheid te vinden. De vraag is dan ook: komt er nog overeenstemming tussen de Britten en de EU?Wij praten hierover met Hans Maessen, douane-expert en adviseur van de European Research Group.

Kojo Koram joins me to discuss the politics of the Tory Brexiteers. We spoke about why it is that the prospect of trading on WTO terms is so attractive to the European Research Group, and the strange parallels between Tory Brexiteers and bourgeois nationalists in the global south during the colonial era. We also discussed the idea of a progressive English nationalism. Our conversation was prompted by Kojo's articles in Dissent Magazine, the Guardian, and the Nation: https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/britains-brexit-blindness https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/19/wto-brexit-trade-uk-economy https://www.thenation.com/article/brexit-sovereignty-imperial-violence/

Conservative MP and chair of the European Research Group, chats to Professor Anand Menon on the no confidence vote, the Brexit deal and cricket.

Adam Boulton and guests discuss the progress that's been made over the Withdrawal Agreement and the deal on the post-Brexit relationship between the UK and the EU. Simmering in the background is the waiting game over whether 48 Conservative MPs submit a 'no confidence in the Prime Minister' letter to the chair of the backbench 1922 Committee. The charge is being led by Jacob Rees-Mogg and the European Research Group but so far, there has been little sign of Theresa May facing an imminent threat to her leadership. Plenty to talk about as usual. Joining Adam this week are The Spectator's political correspondent Katy Balls, Sky's political correspondent Lewis Goodall, Europe correspondent Mark Stone and the Head of Sky Data Harry Carr. #Brexit #skynews #politics #makedebateshappen
