Is the BBC shifting right to please Reform voters? Leaked minutes from a top-level BBC editorial meeting reveal plans to reshape story selection and tone – not just in news, but even in drama – to improve the Corporation's image among Reform UK supporters. But instead of chasing Farage's fans, should the BBC hold Reform to account more rigorously?

The Not Another One team answer questions from listeners in this special edition of the political podcast. Have we got what we voted for? How does Farage get away with presenting himself as a “man of the people”? What would an AI version of Not Another One sound like? Is there too much focus on the theatre of politics? By rearming are we making the same mistakes leaders made in the run-up to war in 1914? Our team tackle these questions and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The chancellor has announced extra money for housing, energy, the NHS, defence and more, so is this the start of a new phase for the government? And should they have done it sooner to combat the rise of Reform? John Harris is joined in Westminster by our political editor, Pippa Crerar, and political correspondent, Kiran Stacey, to discuss the spending review and what it tells us about Labour's plans and priorities.

Farage discusses his work with Reform UK party chairman Zia Yusuf, building structure and organisation for the years ahead. He warns that indebtedness is at an all time high and predicts continued economic decline under current leadership. From the entrepreneur exodus and benefit reforms to his three near-death experiences and views on political realignment, Farage shares his views as one of the UK’s most outspoken and controversial political figures. Nigel Farage REVEALS: Why the UK is heading for another financial crash That a dramatic political realignment is happening The ways the Reform Party would help fix the UK The mass millionaire exodus Why the current system for the self employed doesn’t work Why the tax system is over complicated and needs reform The ways he would reform the UK benefits system BEST MOMENTS "Well, indebtedness now is way bigger than it was in 2008 and I do think at some point in time there comes a bit of a reckoning for Western economies." "Musk comes into Twitter, sacks 80% of the staff, and it makes no difference. So the idea is that Musk comes in and starts cutting up the deep state. That's gonna be the template for what we need." "I've nearly died three times. I've had three very serious brushes with that. So when you've had all these brushes, I just think some mornings you are so blooming lucky." "The UK tax code is now 21,000 pages long. The most complex tax system in the world."

Welcome to another episode of Richardson's Rubicon, where we dive into the absurd, tackle the unpredictable, and poke fun at the political circus! This time around, I'm kicking off with the sport you never knew existed - underwater rugby. Flippers and salty balls! But that's not all! We'll swim out of the pool and into the political kiddie pool where Nigel Farage is making waves by not showing up - classic Farage. And as if politics couldn't get crazier, we've got Elon Musk throwing Twitter grenades at his former bestie Donald Trump. There's more drama than a soap opera, and we're here for every juicy detail.To top it all off, we'll take a peek into our listener confessions - more accurately, we don't for good reason - and dissect the nerve-wracking Hamilton by-election results that should have the SNP breaking into a cold sweat, if they know what's good for them.More info: https://richardsonsrubicon.com/rugby-goals-and-political-holes/

It's Farage's big test in Scotland. For years it was a political dead-end for Reform party leader - heckled in Edinburgh, chased from restaurants in Aberdeen, and repeatedly rejected at the ballot box.But in today's Holyrood by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, Reform UK is mounting a serious challenge. With Farage back in charge and his candidate Ross Lambie gaining ground in an SNP stronghold, could this be the moment his party makes a breakthrough north of the border?And while the Tories remain locked in internal warfare, we speak to Reform's most senior council leader, Linden Kemkaran, on how the party plans to cut spending with their own version of Elon Musk's DOGE and why she wants to end taxpayer-funded English lessons for migrants.Producer: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleWith assistance from Andy Mackenzie and Ryan Gudge Hosted on Acast.

#LONDONCALLING: FARAGE RISING @JOSEPHSTERNBERG @WSJOPINION 1798 GILRAY

It's all happening. That said, potholes might not be getting fixed, loft extensions might not be getting signed off and bins might not be getting collected - those things may or may not be happening, but Doge has been announced.Yes, this episode goes into what is happening in various Reform led councils. Firstly, having decided that Musk's Doge has gone 'so well' in the States (spoiler alert, it hasn't, it's failed miserably', Farage has announced the same approach over here. Though they should really be using a different acronym. After all, how can you have a Department of Governmental Efficiency in action when they're not actually in government? Hmm. Anyway, they want to slash millions, billions even, the numbers quoted are huge, although when Lewis Goodall challenges Reform Chairman, Zia Yusef, on his wild figures, Yusef cites an unnamed think tank as his source. Seems reasonable. Pensions will go - not Farage's EU one to be clear, that's staying, obvs - meetings will be reduced and apparently a hit squad of talented experts will be instigating all of this, for free. Meanwhile, the Tories are having a mare. Jenrick is busy doing the media rounds but Marina has found some pretty incredible receipts. And Truss is in Hungary, wanging on about free speech and how she's had to go to Budapest to say what she wants. Each to their own. Some great underrated tweets and clips follow, plus the ladies explore the somewhat biased coverage of the man arrested for driving into the crowds of football fans in Liverpool. he lives in a cul de sac and that, apparently, means a lot.

In this conversation, the speakers discuss the current political landscape in Scotland, focusing on the upcoming by-election and the performance of various political candidates. They evaluate the Labour Party's leadership under Anas Sarwar and the pressures he faces, particularly if Labour performs poorly in the by-election. The discussion also touches on Keir Starmer's recent visit to Scotland and his stance on independence, as well as the implications of English nationalism on Scottish politics. The hosts explore the potential strategies for the SNP and the Labour Party in navigating the independence debate and the challenges ahead. Hosted on Acast.

In het Britse parlement ligt al weken een amendement klaar dat de abortuswet moet veranderen: abortus moet makkelijker en toegankelijker worden. Bijna alle kamerlaeden kunnen zich hierin vinden, behalve de rechtsnationalisten Wat hebben populisten zoals Nigel Farage tegen een versoepelng van de abortuswet? En wat heeft de Amerikaanse vice-president JD Vance hiermee te maken?

Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

This episode begins with Jemma and Marina explaining why they weren't aligned this week for pretty much the first time in Trawl history, though their disagreement was quickly put to rest once they'd consulted listeners and asked what you think. There's a quick goodbye to the MOTD version of Gary Lineker and then, it's straight into what's happening in politics here in the UK. However, before they get round to the newly announced Reform manifesto, they feel it's only fair to check in with Tory HQ. Someone's got to after all. There's not a huge amount to report apart from Kemi Badenoch being roasted by Trevor Phillips, Robert Jenrick turning into a London Underground vigilante with more than a dash of Alan Partridge and one very unaware tweet. Then it's time to break down some of what Farage had to say, only you'll be pleased to note that one clip of Natasha Devon will blow your mind and give you hope. It certainly had that effect on the Trawl ladies and begs the question why getting do Reform get so much airtime? When Farage starts lecturing women on what they should and shouldn't be able to decide about their own bodies, it's time to look at the kind of people who agree with him. Some hilarious takes follow; A bumper under rated clip and tweet section comes next and the clip of Trump being insulted and sulking like a petulant toddler is almost as funny as the one of a regretful Musk who is clearly not allowed to play with the big boys at The White House any more. Leader of the Lib Dems, Ed Davey, makes a good point about how well that's gone for him. Pudding ends the episode where it began with one from the Broken News vaults belonging to brilliant comedians, Larry and Paul. Enjoy!

Nigel Farage is using parliamentary recess to grab the microphone – he's been out and about during the half term holiday criticising the government and claiming Reform UK as the party for families. Harriet and Ruth ask whether he's been smart in copying the tactics we're used to seeing from leaders of the opposition.  It's just a week on from that EU debate he missed in the House of Commons because he was on holiday himself. So what are the rules for MPs going away in term time? Harriet has a tale of her own.   Plus we have a holiday treat in the form of an interview with legendary satirist Armando Iannucci - recorded at the ED Live show in London.   Remember you can also watch us on YouTube!  

Stay out of wombs Nigel! Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wants us to have more babies - which for new mum Coco feels like being bamboozled into being rightwing. Not only this, Farage is even coming for abortion - saying it's “utterly ludicrous” to allow abortion up to 24-weeks. Keep your wits about you! From leaked memos and inner-circle beef to U-turns and rumoured U-turns - Keir Starmer is feeling the pressure. Nish and Coco dive into the Westminster bubble to find out why the Government has become a leaky ship with Politico reporter Bethany Dawson. Half a decade on from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world, only one third of the recommendations of major reports to tackle endemic racism in the UK has actually been implemented and equality initiatives are facing a rightwing backlash on both sides of the Atlantic. So, is the UK backsliding on racial justice?  Guardian community affairs correspondent and author Aamna Mohdin reflects on the personal and political legacy of the largest anti-racism rallies in the UK since the abolition of slavery.

Dissatisfaction with the established political parties is driving a ‘tartan bounce' in Scotland for Nigel Farage's Reform UK. Far from being an English phenomenon, Reform is polling favourably with Scottish voters. There will be a by-election next week for the Scottish Parliament seat of Hamilton, in what will be Reform's first big test inside the politics of devolved government.For councillor Thomas Kerr, who defected from the Scottish Conservatives to Reform earlier this year, Reform's appeal in Scotland is no surprise. He joins Lucy Dunn to explain why he thinks the ‘sky is the limit' for Reform, why Farage is an asset to the party in Scotland and to explain Reform's current views around devolution powers.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Starmer vs Farage: Who Do You Trust More? | Reform Surge, Labour Wobbles   Keir Starmer vs Nigel Farage — Who does Britain trust more to lead the future? In a dramatic press event in the North, Labour leader Keir Starmer launched a direct attack on Reform UK and Nigel Farage, positioning them—not the Tories—as Labour's real opposition. But why now? With a general election still years away, why is Farage dominating Starmer's agenda?  IS NIGEL LIVING IN STARMER'S BRAIN RENT FREE? As Reform UK pulls ahead of the Conservatives in the latest polls, the pressure is mounting. Starmer faced a grilling from the UK press, with questions challenging his popularity and credibility. Meanwhile, Farage's populist message is cutting through—but are his policies fully costed and electable?

Sir Keir Starmer has hit back at Nigel Farage - making a speech warning that Farage's "fantasy" economics will lead to a Liz Truss-style economic meltdown. So would Reform UK's policies crash the economy? Hugo Rifkind unpacks the politics of the day with Manveen Rana and Zoe Strimpel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a recent survey, supporters of Nigel Farage ranked ‘being English' ahead of ‘being a parent' as a signifier of who they are.How has it come to this? Even as the dissatisfaction with Brexit grows, Farage who drove so much of the vote by playing on the most irrational fears, is England's most popular politician. On Free State today, Joe and Dion look at the rise of English nationalism and what it means for the rest of Britain, as well as Ireland.They look at the frenzy within minutes of the Liverpool Parade crash to find the identity of the suspect, but only if it fitted with their existing prejudices.They identify how nationalism always ends in an assertion of supremacy.While Joe has some good things to say about Fintan O'Toole and Dion offers a solution to the Celtic Soul Brothers.

What's going on inside Labour? After the prime minister's recent u-turn on winter fuel allowance, a previously fixed policy, and hints of more u-turns to come, it's becoming less and less clear what Labour are offering.A leaked memo implying divisions and unhappiness at the direction of travel means some in the party may be looking at deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, as credible opposition to Keir Starmer. She might also be better placed to take on Nigel Farage. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

I get into some of the murmurings of discontent around the Labour Party (including some gossip I heard about the chancellor!) We also look at Farage's big speech and wonder how he ended up pro-benefits. Then there's the decline of Doctor Who: is it another scalp for woke or something else?

Nigel Farage could "definitely" become prime minister at the next general election. That's according to Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson's former chief advisor, who says he has held meetings with the Reform UK leader and advised him on how to go from "one man and an iPhone" to holding the keys to Downing Street.  On the Sky News Daily, Liz Bates speaks to Mr Cummings about the current state of British politics, why the public feels let down, and who Mr Farage needs to recruit if he wants to be the next prime minister. Warning: contains strong language.

Britský premiér Keir Starmer byl zcela zásadní pro vytvoření koalice ochotných a je jeden z mála lídrů, kteří dokáží v klidu jednat s Donaldem Trumpem. Doma mu ale pod rukama probíhá politická revoluce – zažitou dvojici stran v průzkumech přeskočila antiimigrační Reform UK Nigela Farage. „Pro britské voliče není zahraniční politika v každodenním životě takovou prioritou jako třeba pro nás,“ říká v pořadu Osobnost Plus Ivan Kytka, novinář žijící v Londýně.

Give Nigel Farage the Job NOW – Britain's Had Enough!  #NigelFarage #ReformUK #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics  Angela Rayner says she doesn't want Keir Starmer's job as Prime Minister. THANK GOD – she'd be an even bigger disaster! The lies, the spin, the smug non-answers… Her TV interviews today reeked of pure political BS. Why even bother airing this nonsense? Jon Gaunt says that Labour is a charisma-free zone—an incompetent circus of liars, truth dodgers, and power-hungry bureaucrats. And the Tories? Not much better! Kemi Badenoch is grasping at thin air, and now even she's on the chopping block. The Lib Dems? Don't make me laugh! Meanwhile, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are DOMINATING the polls with real ideas: ✅ Bring back the Winter Fuel Allowance for ALL pensioners ✅ Scrap the unfair Two-Child Benefit Cap ✅ Tear up Starmer's sellout EU deal ✅ End the Chagos betrayal ✅ Deport illegal migrants—appoint a Minister for Deportation  ✅ FIX the small boats crisis And what does the political elite do? Squeal that it's “not costed.” As if Labour and the Tories haven't burned billions already! We don't need another 4 years of lies, chaos, and broken promises. Britain needs real leadership, and Farage is the only one speaking for the people.

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.
