Tussentijdse verkiezingen voor één zetel in het regionale parlement van Wales. Je zou niet verwachten dat de uitslag daarvan de Britse media domineert, laat staan dat je er verregaande conclusies over de toekomst van de politiek van het Verenigd Koninkrijk aan zou moeten verbinden. Toch is de uitslag veelzeggend. De zetel was sinds mensenheugenis in handen van Labour. Dat is nu niet meer zo. Maar het verlies van Labour is niet de meest interessante ontwikkeling. Verwacht werd namelijk dat de Reform-partij van Nigel Farage er met de winst vandoor zou gaan. Maar het werd de Welsh centrum-linkse nationalistische partij Plaid Cymru. Die partij blijkt veel beter in staat een weerwoord tegen Farage te bieden dan de gevestigde orde. En dát is een interessant voorteken voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen in het voorjaar.

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. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? 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. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.

After successfully pushing for Brexit, political disruptor Nigel Farage announced his retirement. Last year, he returned to frontline politics as the leader of Reform UK, an insurgent party that’s never held national power but is now polling ahead of Labour and the Conservatives.

With every new poll predicting a Reform win at the next general election, the party continues its preparation for government. James Heale joins Oscar Edmondson and Tim Shipman to talk about his article in the magazine looking at what – or who – is shaping Reform's intellectual revolution. Cambridge intellectual James Orr, close friend to J.D. Vance, has recently joined as an adviser, following in the footsteps of recent defector Danny Kruger, who was widely seen as an intellectual heavyweight on Conservative benches. Tim also discusses his piece looking at the narrative Rachel Reeves is trying to set ahead of next month's budget. Tim says she has four audiences and is trying to direct the blame elsewhere – namely at the Conservatives. But, with no end in sight for Britain's economic doom loop – and as Farage tries to boost the economic credibility of Reform, could voters start to look elsewhere for some shock medicine?Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Is populism saving the UK — or destroying it from within? Across Britain, a new wave of populism is rewriting politics. But the question remains: is this the cure for the chaos, or just another symptom of it? Today's episode dives deep into that question — connecting the dots between the UK's rise of Reform UK and the populist movements shaking the U.S. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS From Nigel Farage to Andy Burnham, the battle lines are clear — populism is no longer a fringe idea. It's mainstream, reshaping everything from immigration to the economy. But while Britain experiments with four competing political tribes, Americans are left wondering if a fractured system might actually be worse than our own two-party gridlock. Ted Newson joins Brian to unpack how populism — once the voice of the working class — has evolved into something more volatile. Together, they examine how leaders like Trump, Corbyn, and Farage harness emotion over principle, and what that means for liberty, democracy, and the everyday person just trying to make sense of it all. They also compare the U.S. and U.K. political structures head-to-head — from the way populist movements rise, to why America's “podcast revolution” became the biggest political shift since cable news. And yes, Brian brings the heat: challenging whether populism built on vibes instead of values can ever truly last. If you care about the direction of the West, this is a must-watch. It's not just about Britain's elections — it's about whether any democracy can survive when everyone's chasing popularity instead of principles. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-third episode, we explore the Think of the Children Fallacy, starting with Trump attacking trans people, and claiming people grab children to get across the border, and then how QAnon pivoted from wacky conspiracies to just lies.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage pretending their hardline stance on immigration is "for the children" and Farage and Peter Kyle MP squaring off about the Online Safety Bill.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Beauty and the Beast, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and Futurama.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the Pentagon's press corps walking out.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft183 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/26/leaflets/reform-scapegoating-migrants-to-save-capitalism/ Nigel Farage is simply one more player in a game of ‘divide and rule' that the British ruling class has been directing for 200 years. With the Labour and Tory parties both drained of credibility, the ruling class has been training up a new reserve team, which is now ready to be brought into play. Farage's job is to pose as an ‘outsider' the establishment doesn't want us to listen to – all while his party and its anti-migrant rhetoric are given massive promotion in establishment media. The aim is both to keep workers putting their faith in the increasingly distrusted parliamentary system, and to persuade them to direct their anger and frustration at other workers rather than at the capitalist system and those who rule it.

His style of comms is best demonstrated during a moment of “Penis Chat” chaos courtesy of Piers Morgan (of course).Marina and Jemma unpack why boldness matters so much in this political moment, how one CEO proved trickle-down economics is a con, and why Farage's latest U-turn reeks of desperation.

#NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKGeneralElection #JonGaunt #FarageForPM #IllegalImmigration #SmallBoatsCrisis #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics  Britain is boiling over. A bombshell mega-poll shows Nigel Farage's Reform UK on track for the biggest Commons majority in modern history, while Keir Starmer's popularity crashes to record lows.  With the country deeply divided over illegal immigration, the small boats crisis, rising antisemitism, and questions of national identity, millions feel betrayed by the political elite. The next general election isn't for four long years — but the British people are demanding real change now.  In tonight's show, Jon Gaunt asks the explosive question:

2025-10-14 | Silicon Wafers 028 | DAILY UPDATES | Right-wing authoritarian populism is gaining sway around the world, exemplified in the US by the phenomenon of Trump's MAGA movement, across Europe and in the UK by Farage's latest pop-up populist part Reform, and by Tommy Robinson. This episode explores the assets, agents and useful idiots of the Kremlin, how they seek to leverage populism, and what we know about support and financing for extremist movements, politicians and contrarian voices by the Kremlin. We dive into the phenomenon of paradigm shifting, 'pop-up' populist parties, that often resemble Kremlin projects, such as Reform UK, Farage and his associates. Especially explore the topic through the lens of Pekka Kallioniemi and his Vatnik Soup series of profiles, which sadly has come to an end, publishing it's final episode this week.----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

New reports out of the UK claim Prime Minister Keir Starmer is looking to blame Nigel Farage and Brexit for tax rises in the upcoming November budget. The UK has a significant financial black hole it needs to fill up, and it's looking more likely that increased taxes are the way forward. UK correspondent Enda Brady says it's unlikely UK voters will accept this. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reform UK's Nigel Farage is preparing to drop his promise to deliver £90bn of tax cuts, saying his party will reduce public spending first.

At 85, the venerable Jeffrey Archer has lived through enough crises to stay calm and carry on whatever the stormy political weather. The best-selling author—who has sold 275 million books and, as a Conservative MP and party chairman, served Margaret Thatcher for 11 years—speaks with the authority of someone who witnessed the Iron Lady's firm politics up close and personal. But Mrs Thatcher isn't the only British grande dame who Archer now mourns. His latest William Warwick thriller End Game, set against the backdrop of the 2012 London Olympics, is the story of a plot against Queen Elizabeth II, the beloved monarch who, in contrast with Mrs T, unified Britain. And then there's what Archer definitely calls his “final novel”—a World War II story to be published next year that he believes will be “bigger than Cain and Abel.” But he also weighs in on today's political chaos in Britain and America: Trump's absurd contradictions, the chilling specter of Farage and Robinson, Starmer's political problems, and why Maggie would have known exactly how to handle them all.1. Archer's Final Chapter At 85, Archer announces his next book will be his last. After 50 years and 275 million books sold, he's on the 17th draft of a WWII novel about September 15, 1941—a day when the war “could have ended” if Hitler hadn't changed his mind three times. He believes it's “bigger than Kane and Abel.”2. Thatcher Would Have Dominated Trump Archer, who served Thatcher for 11 years, believes she would have “handled Trump very well” and that “Trump would be in awe of her.” He compares it to her successful management of Reagan, Gorbachev, and Chirac—knowing exactly “what to do with each one.”3. Farage Could Be 30 Seats From Power Archer reveals he warned David Cameron a decade ago to neutralize Farage by making him a Lord. Cameron ignored the advice when Farage polled at 0%. Now Farage leads in polls and could be “only 30 seats short of forming a government”—despite having no one in his party with governing experience.4. Britain Has Peaked Archer sees 2012's Olympics as Britain's high-water mark. Since then: five Conservative leaders in six years, Starmer's rapid collapse, potential bankruptcy from an aging population, and a declining interest in the monarchy among young people. “Top people are not going into politics anymore.”5. AI Threatens the Next Generation of Writers While grateful his 50-year career predated artificial intelligence, Archer worries about the future. He's discussed with his children ensuring no AI-generated “Jeffrey Archer” books appear after his death, calling it “a cop-out.” The odds for aspiring writers have never been tougher: 1,000 manuscripts submitted weekly, only one published.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

How can we understand the simultaneous growth of the far right around the world, and what can we do about it?  Stuff to read from Red Flag: Charlie Kirk's legacy: a bosses' war on free speech - by D. Taylor  The far right threat inside the Liberal Party - by Eleanor Morley   

This week - The invisible conference, King Coal dethroned and the green energy Six Pointer. Uncle Sam's Fat Beardo problem and Blair's new war zone gig. Farage makes Dale an offer - while members plan green energy investment. We ask, is Octopus the new mouthpiece of the right and this Jenrick bloke - litter picking in Brum? We find sanity in our listener questions….and fun in X Rated corner.Oh and we tease next week….Terrorists v freedom fighters  

#KemiBadenoch #ToryConference #StampDuty #BritishPubs #NigelFarage #Jon Gaunt #MargaretThatcher #GaryNeville  Kemi Badenoch has exploded onto the national stage with a powerhouse conference speech that's shaking up British politics.  Her promise to scrap Stamp Duty and defend our Great British pubs has people calling her the new Iron Lady — the next Margaret Thatcher.  Meanwhile, Gary Neville is under fire for his attacks on the National Anthem and our flag, with fans demanding that Sky TV sack him.  Tonight, Jon Gaunt is LIVE at 6.30 — fiery, unfiltered, and unapologetic — as Britain debates whether Kemi Badenoch is the future of Conservatism and whether Gary Neville has finally gone too far.  Kemi Badenoch's knockout conference speech has lit up British politics! Her promise to scrap Stamp Duty will be cheered in every home — and her defence of our great British pubs has the nation raising a glass.  Finally, a Tory with backbone and belief! Could this be the rebirth of real Conservatism — and is Kemi the new Iron Lady, the next Margaret Thatcher?  Meanwhile, Gary Neville — once an England hero — has turned into a national embarrassment. From refusing to sing the anthem to sneering at our flag, he's insulted the very fans who made him rich.  Sky TV must act — viewers are cancelling in disgust. Neville's morphing into another Gary Lineker with a chip on his shoulder and sixth-form politics in his head.  Join the debate LIVE — Kemi's rise, Neville's fall, and why Britain's fighting spirit is back!

The Conservative Party Conference is underway in Manchester where the Tories are in turmoil, trailing badly in the polls and staring down electoral oblivion as they are squeezed between Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Keir Starmer's Labour Party.  Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride joins Cathy Newman on this episode  of The Fourcast to explain how the Conservatives plan to regain momentum and rebuild their reputation as the party of economic competence — but is it too little, too late?

Byline Times executive editor Peter Jukes joins Adrian Goldberg to discuss the links between Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and the party's former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, who has admitted accepting bribes to speak up for Russia in the European parliament.

Nick Cohen talks to leading US political commentator Charlie Sykes about the impact of Donald Trump's presidency on American politics and conservative institutions, with Charlie sharing his perspective as one of the first "Never Trump" conservatives and discussing the erosion of traditional conservative values and principles. They examine how Trump's rise was connected to broader trends in right-wing politics, including the appeal to "own the libs" and the normalisation of previously unacceptable behaviour. They discuss their concerns about Trump's potential future political influence and the need for institutions, media, and individuals to push back against extreme political trends in both the US and U.K.Conservatives voices must take on Trump & the radical rightCharlie says his fellow "Never Trump" Conservatives made a huge strategic error in confronting Trump and MAGA before the 2024 presidential election, saying, "I think it was a major mistake for much of the Never Trump movement to basically become Liberal Democrats. Because what happened is they were no longer speaking to those centre Right. Conservative swing voters. They were perceived to be simply just parroting the other lines. And by the way, take some responsibility. I'm a contributor for the Progressive network, MSNBC, and I think this is a real problem."The other problem was that during the Biden years, I think that one of the, the fundamental roles of the centre. You know, the centre should have been to keep the administration from, from going too far left on all of the issues on crime, on immigration, on the trans issue. And by the way, Democrats are still deeply in denial."You have to stop Farage now - before it's too late Charlie Sykes warns the UK that Nigel Farage and Reform have to be stopped now before it is too late. Ciservative vocies must play their part in preventing the UK sinking into a Trump-like darknes, adding, " If in late 2015 if you had big conservative voices like Rush Limbaugh, not a fan, but if Rush Limbaugh would've told his audience, come on, people. Donald Trump's a joke. Donald Trump is not what we have fought for all these years. the best time to get these to stop these guys is on the launchpad before they achieve velocity."Maybe too late. but it's gotta be done early and it's gotta be done forceful because it's if you, if if you, if you don't do it now, it's gonna be exponentially harder a year from now.

Keir Starmer's conference speech is getting heaps of praise after he finally went hard against Farage. But has he done enough to show he's in control, or is the Labour messaging still all over the place? Plus, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, isn't going away. He says he wants the UK to rejoin the EU, but do they want us? And does Labour even want him!? And in the Extra Bit for Patreon backers, the panel takes a look at the politicians who are the most popular with the UK's young people right now, according to the polls, anyway.

Nadine Dorries was once a Tory loyalist and Boris Johnson's closest ally — now she's defected to Reform UK, the party leading the polls under Nigel Farage. She claims Farage is the only leader who can deliver the change communities need, but are Reform's headline promises really workable? And how does Dorries reconcile joining a party whose leader launches blistering attacks on her old boss, Boris Johnson? She joins Cathy Newman for her first sit down interview since defecting.

The Labour leader entered conference with the polls against him and Reform UK snapping at his heels. He came out fighting – but was it enough to change his critics' minds? Helen Pidd. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

The ghost of Enoch Powell punches the air as Farage announces jaw-dropping plans for mass deportations and tearing up Indefinite Leave to Remain, claiming it will save Britain over £230bn (it won't). Is Reform succumbing to the gravitational pull of the far-far-far right or just showing its true, cruel face?

Labour conference kicks off this weekend in Liverpool – but the mood going in is far from triumphant. On today's Coffee House Shots, Lucy Dunn is joined by Tim Shipman and More in Common's Luke Tryl to take the temperature ahead of Labour's big set-piece. They discuss why some voters already see Starmer as ‘just as bad as the lot that came before', and whether Labour can turn things around with new policies aimed at revitalising local communities – from saving libraries and pubs to giving residents more power over development.There is also a fascinating hypothetical poll in which an Andy Burnham-led Labour party outpaces Reform UK, turning a deficit into a narrow lead. Luke explains how Burnham's appeal lies less in his own charisma than in Labour's ability to win back disillusioned supporters from the Lib Dems and the undecided.But if Labour is struggling to meet expectations, Reform faces its own dilemmas. Farage's recent flirtation with fringe debates – from vaccine-sceptic speakers to entertaining Trump's edict on paracetamol – risks alienating the mainstream voters. As Tim and Luke point out, Reform's future depends on whether it can stay focused on bread-and-butter issues like immigration and the cost of living, or whether it strays into conspiratorial territory.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Today, Ed Davey has vowed to lead the fight against Nigel Farage in his speech to the Liberal Democrat Conference.

Plus, Adam is joined by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC's international editor, to discuss his new Panorama - Gaza: Dying for Food.

The Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth has concluded with a speech from leader Sir Ed Davey. While the current crop of Liberal Democrats are the most successful third-party in 100 years, they have faced questions about why they aren't cutting through more while Nigel Farage is. It's something Davey is aware of and – hoping to exploit how divisive the leader of Reform is – he sought to pitch himself as the anti-Farage. Will it work?Plus, more bad news for the Chancellor. Labour had pledged to aim for the highest growth in the G7. New figures from the OECD did upgrade their global growth forecast, including for Britain, but projected that the UK would see the highest inflation across the G7. How bad is this for Rachel Reeves?James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
