This week on The Trawl, Jemma and Marina steer through a week where compassion and chaos collided.From the flotilla of medics, activists and even Greta Thunberg, risking everything to get aid into Gaza, to dockworkers in Genoa refusing to load arms shipments, there are still flashes of humanity in the darkest of times. Hugh Bonneville's rallying cry, businesses putting morals above profit, and ordinary people prepared to be arrested for protesting against genocide — proof that not everyone in the world is a hideous f@%kwit.But alas, back home… Labour descends into turmoil with Rayner out and reshuffle chaos in. Clive Lewis nails why so many think “they're all the same,” while Jemma and Marina discuss how her departure from the upper echelons of cabinet makes them feel. Meanwhile, Farage is busy lecturing Rayner on tax only to get exposed for his own questionable dealings. Quelle surprise.And then there's the Reform Party Conference. Andrea Jenkyns makes an entrance that has to be seen to be believed and heard to be horrified. Femi reminds us why the “clowns” are more dangerous than they look, and Paul Mason swoons over the lot of them.

  In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, we unpack some of the most pressing issues facing British society—from political division and rising populism to the role of faith and the crisis of identity.   Join us as we explore:   Why honest disagreement shouldn't mean division The rise of the Reform Party and its challenge to traditional UK politics Nigel Farage's influence and why he's so loved (and hated) Christianity's role in a pluralistic, ideological society Immigration, climate change skepticism, and the complexities of modern governance This is more than politics—it's about how we talk, think, and live together as people of different beliefs.  

Blocages et perturbations sont annoncés dans tous les secteurs ce mercredi en France : transports, écoles, entreprises. Et ce ne sont pas les syndicats ou les partis politiques qui ont lancé le mouvement, ce sont des milliers et des milliers d'anonymes en colère qui se sont fédérés sur les réseaux sociaux au cours des dernières semaines. Et « c'est la grande incertitude, s'exclame Le Parisien. Sur les réseaux sociaux, les appels à manifester et bloquer massivement la France résonnent de plus en plus fort. Les premiers sympathisants du mouvement “Bloquons tout“ ont incontestablement fait des émules, grâce également aux propositions budgétaires impopulaires du gouvernement de François Bayrou. Pour autant, si la grogne sociale existe, impossible de mesurer précisément quelle sera l'ampleur des actions menées ce mercredi. » « Niveau inégalités le plus élevé depuis 30 ans » Le Monde nous explique les raisons de cette colère : c'est le ras-le-bol de « la France ric-rac », des « fins de mois difficiles » ; « nombreux sont ceux à dénoncer le budget de l'ex-Premier ministre François Bayrou, qui demandait beaucoup à ceux qui ont peu, prônant une austérité douloureuse. Nombreux sont ceux à décrier les salaires qui ne bougent pas, les budgets de plus en plus difficiles à tenir, les arbitrages impossibles au moment de remplir les chariots de courses, si éloignés des préoccupations du gouvernement. » Si l'on regarde les chiffres, poursuit Le Monde, « la baisse du chômage, aujourd'hui stabilisé à 7,5 % environ de la population active, n'a pas empêché une hausse du taux de pauvreté et du surendettement. La faute notamment à une précarisation croissante de l'emploi. (…) Au contraire des revenus salariaux, les revenus financiers, eux, ont augmenté de 7 % en moyenne, poussés par la hausse des taux d'intérêt. Et cela a profité aux ménages les plus aisés, ceux qui possèdent un patrimoine financier. » Résultat, constate le journal : « le niveau d'inégalités atteint en France est ainsi le plus élevé depuis trente ans. » Lecornu Premier ministre : « la droite comblée, la gauche exaspérée » C'est dans ce contexte tendu que le nouveau Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu prend ses fonctions aujourd'hui. L'ex-ministre de la Défense est un très proche d'Emmanuel Macron. « On ne change pas une équipe qui perd », soupire Libération. « La droite comblée, la gauche exaspérée. (…) L'arrivée de Sébastien Lecornu à Matignon révèle qu'Emmanuel Macron manque décidément d'oxygène, s'exclame le quotidien de gauche. Face à la crise, il se recroqueville dans un espace politique qui, chaque jour, ressemble de plus en plus à une cabine téléphonique. Il a pourtant besoin d'espace. De se redonner des marges de manœuvre. Mais non. En nommant Sébastien Lecornu, le chef de l'État confirme qu'il lui est impossible de retirer l'énorme œillère qui l'empêche de regarder vers sa gauche. Peu importe ce qui se passe autour de lui. » Ligne claire ? À contrario, Le Figaro acquiesce. « À la veille d'une journée vampirisée par l'extrême gauche, la France a un premier ministre qui vient de la droite. Ministre depuis huit ans, il est, pour le grand public, neuf, intact. (…) Bien qu'à la tête d'une minorité de gouvernement, Sébastien Lecornu doit se faire le porte-voix de la majorité oubliée, invisible, abandonnée. Pression fiscale et normative désespérante, dépenses délirantes, immigration incontrôlée, insécurité galopante. Les inquiétudes qui réunissent plus de deux Français sur trois sont connues, affirme encore le quotidien de droite. (…) C'est cette ligne claire qu'il faut dessiner. (…) Le succès n'est pas garanti, mais l'autre choix, celui de la tambouille, mènerait à l'échec et au déshonneur. » L'extrême-droite en embuscade En tout cas, sur le plan politique, économique et social, la France va mal et pourrait bien finir par se jeter dans les bras de l'extrême-droite. Un vrai danger pour l'avenir de l'Europe et de ses valeurs, s'exclame La Repubblica à Rome : « nous sommes dangereusement proches du point de non-retour, affirme le quotidien italien. En Allemagne, les néonazis pro-Poutine de l'AfD, soutenus par Trump, aspirent à devenir le premier parti. En Grande-Bretagne, la droite anti-européenne de Farage nourrit les mêmes ambitions. En Italie, l'extrême droite est déjà au pouvoir. (…) Le seul espoir qui nous reste, estime La Repubblica, est que les électeurs et les responsables politiques français comprennent que le jeu dont ils sont les arbitres, au nom de 450 millions d'Européens, ne se résume pas à la suppression d'un ou deux jours de vacances ou au recul d'un an de l'âge de la retraite, mais à la survie même de l'Occident et de ses valeurs. »

PREVIEW.  Guest Name: Joseph Sternberg Summary: Joseph Sternberg analyzes Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, highlighting the internal tension between Farage's free-market views and the traditional center-left economic stance of many of its working-class supporters. 1917 COTSWOLDS

Net toen Keir Starmer dacht dat hij met een nieuwe intentieverklaring -wij zijn vergeten de hoeveelste dit was- de boel kon herpakken, zag de Britse premier vorige week een van zijn ministeriele kopstukken aftreden vanwege een schandaal. Een crisis die Starmer probeerde af te wenden met haastige kabinetswisselingen en nieuwe benoemingen. Maar de vraag is of deze nieuwe misère het al zeer gehavende imago van Labour niet nog meer gezichtsverlies oplevert. We blijven in de politiek, maar maken een uitstapje naar links: De nieuwe leider Zack Polanski van The Green Party heeft de pittige uitdaging om de populariteit van Farage en zijn Reform partij in te dammen. Hij won de interne verkiezingen om het leiderschap met glans en heeft een ding direct duidelijk gemaakt aan de regerende Labour Partij: "Wij zijn hier om jullie te vervangen". Ook in deze aflevering Hoe brei je een passend einde aan een van de meest iconische televisie- en filmseries uit de Britse geschiedenis? Met een slotfilm die morgen uitkomt, waarin met een groot, meeslepend en dramatisch schandaal valt het doek voor het immens populaire Downton Abbey. 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.

Reform UK's annual conference wrapped up this weekend – and it was anything but dull. From Andrea Jenkyns belting out her original song ‘I'm an Insomniac' on stage to Nigel Farage trying to keep a sometimes chaotic movement united, the mood was more rally than conference. Despite the optimism in the room, there were obvious cracks under the surface: mainly, do Reform have enough experience in their ranks for the business of serious government?On Coffee House Shots, Oscar Edmondson is joined by Tim Shipman and James Heale fresh from the conference floor. They discuss Farage's role as ringmaster of a broad – and sometimes unruly – coalition, Reform's hopes of fielding thousands of councillors, and the dangers of drifting too close to the conspiratorial edges of politics.Also on the podcast, there has been a steady drip of reshuffle news over the weekend. Starmer's snap reshuffle saw Shabana Mahmood promoted to the Home Office in what many see as the most significant move of the week. With boats and hotels dominating the immigration debate, can she succeed where so many of her predecessors have failed? And what does Angela Rayner's departure mean for the deputy leadership – and Labour's uneasy relationship with the unions?Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Keir Starmer's Labour government seems to be in big trouble, with opinion polls suggesting the possibility of a dramatic reshaping of British electoral politics in favour of Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The resignation of deputy prime minister Angela Rayner last week has shown yet more Labour weakness for Farage to eagerly exploit. It's all happening against a backdrop of deepening divisions over subjects including immigration, taxation, the economy, Gaza and freedom of speech. London correspondent Mark Paul has been trying to keep up with it all. He talks to Hugh on today's podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As Keir Starmer spent the weekend trying to glue his cabinet back together, another was basking in the glow of the NEC spotlights and a governmental crisis.LISTEN AD-FREE:

Nick Cohen and Sunder Katwala engage in a detailed discussion about the rise of right-wing extremism in Britain, analysing rabid right rabble-rousers like Nigel Farage and examining how his evolving stance and ambiguous approach appeal to both mainstream voters and extreme elements. They explored the current political climate, focusing on the challenges faced by mainstream conservative parties and the need for addressing legitimate concerns about immigration while drawing clear boundaries against racist ideologies. The conversation concluded with discussions about the fragmented state of British politics, the need for a coherent centre-right party, and the challenges faced by political leaders in navigating complex social and cultural issues.Nick & Sunder discuss the rise of right-wing extremism in Britain, comparing current political figures like Nigel Farage to historical fascists. Sunder expresses concern about the right setting the agenda and the dominance of emotional arguments over factual evidence. However, he remained optimistic about the long-term progress of British society, drawing on his personal experiences of racial and cultural diversity.Sunder says "we are under policing absolute fascism and racism. Elon Musk has brought it in and what [Steve] Bannon and Trump did is they said there will be no boundary between the respectful right and the racist." Sunder says the sinister issue of so-called "re-migration" - in other words expelling ethnic minority Brits - will eventually do for the rabid right, saying, "There's immigration there's asylum. And these are tough issues in the centre left, but remotion, which is, you know, more people should leave them come in and re migration is a far right code ultimately for the people who really want to hear the word Remi.It's about, you know, Sunder Katwala shouldn't been allowed to be born here. So if he was, let's get him out.... Okay. It's not gonna happen. But about from kick out the ethnic minority." Hope can still beat hate For all its problems, and the ranting of the right, Sunder argues the UK still has a lot going for it as a tolerant and diverse society, saying ":Britain is the most Successful multi-ethnic democracy in the western world. It's a generation ahead of Western Europe." Overall, Sunder has a message of hope after a summer of far right race-baiting, demagoguery and even predictions of civil war: "It was a very sinister, silly season. We had people predicting civil war every weekend and it never quite erupting; Farage setting the asylum debate."It's felt like it's going backwards for a couple of years. We can and will reverse that...And you know, if people are making impossible promises to give us sort of fantasy politics that if you quit three more international treaties, your lives will be better. Let's make the opposite case."Read all about it!Sunder Katwala @sundersays is a director of the British Future think tank and a former general secretary of the Fabian Society.

Can Starmer Survive as Farage Sets UK Politics Agenda? #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #JonGaunt #CloseHotels Nigel Farage has basically taken over the UK political agenda. Reform UK had its conference, the polls are moving fast, and we've even got Tory MPs jumping ship to join him. Meanwhile, Starmer suddenly wants to put illegal migrants in military camps and shut down migrant hotels — but let's be honest, it feels like he's copying Farage's homework. Too little, too late. But Farage? He's promising to rip up the ECHR and deport illegal migrants within two weeks of taking power. No wonder people say they trust him more than Labour or the Conservatives right now. Tonight, we'll break it all down: the polls, the defections, the immigration debate, and what this all means for the next election. Plus I will debate whether the old parties can fight back — or if Farage has already won the argument. Hit like, share & subscribe — this is going to be lively. #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #ToryDefections #LabourParty #PoliticalDebate #Immigration #IllegalMigrants #MigrantHotels #CloseHotels #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #BritishPolitics #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #uknews Keywords: Starmer, Farage, Reform UK, UK Politics, Tory Defections, Labour Party, Political Debate, Immigration, Illegal Migrants, Migrant Hotels, Close Hotels, Military Camps, ECHR, British Politics, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Jon Gaunt, UK News This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

First: Reform is naff – and that's why people like itGareth Roberts warns this week that ‘the Overton window is shifting' but in a very unexpected way. Nigel Farage is ahead in the polls – not only because his party is ‘bracingly right-wing', but ‘because Reform is camp'. Farage offers what Britain wants: ‘a cheeky, up-yours, never-mind-the-knockers revolt against our agonisingly earnest political masters'.‘From Farage on down,' Roberts argues, ‘there is a glorious kind of naffness' to Reform: daytime-TV aesthetics, ‘bargain-basement' celebrities and big-breasted local councillors. ‘The progressive activists thought they could win the culture war simply by saying they had won it', but ‘the John Bulls and Greasy Joans are stirring again'. Roberts loves how ‘the current excitement over flag-raising' is the ‘conniptions' it gives to ‘the FBPE crowd'. Of course, for Farage, planning for government ‘really cannot be a pantomime affair'. But ‘in these grim times' we ‘need the romping Reform'. Gareth joins the podcast to make his case for Carry On Reform.Next: the ‘she' consumed by masculine rageLionel Shriver reacts to the latest school shooting in America. The perpetrator was widely reported in the media with the pronouns ‘she/her' which, Lionel argues, is not just an issue around politeness. This glosses over the fact that the shooter was biologically male, adding to the majority of cases of school shootings that are conducting by men. By pandering to this incoherence of the reality of the situation, it doesn't help society to uncover the reasons behind the issue.Lionel joined the podcast alongside the Spectator's US editor Freddy Gray. Freddy points out how this shooting is just one example of how younger people can be transfixed by the very darkest sides of the internet.And finally: why people make up languages Constructed language expert Dr Bettina Beinhoff and author and historian Peter Parker join the podcast to talk about ‘made-up' languages. Why do humans construct languages outside of their every-day speech? Most people will have heard of Klingon or Elvish, used in books and film, but what about Polari – the subversive language used by groups of LGBT people decades ago – or the Potato language – which writer Melanie Ferbreach says her parents used to hide their conversations from her. Listeners may be impressed to hear Lara's own attempt at 'eggy-peggy'...Plus: with a special introduction from our political editor, Tim Shipman interviews shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick – is he trying to outflank Farage? Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Natasha Feroze.

American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to discuss what parents should do when educators cross the line. We ask the American Mamas about the shocking story out of Florida where a teacher called a student a "Nazi-phile" in front of his classmates and tried to give him a certficate for "Most Likely to Become a Dictator" — all because of his conversative values. If you have a question for our American Mamas go to americangroundradio.com/mamas and click the Ask the Mamas button! 23:00 Even CNN’s own data guru admits the Democratic Party may be at its weakest point in modern history, as Republicans surge in voter registration across key battleground states like Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Is the “blue wall” crumbling for good? We Dig Deep into a new American Enterprise Institute study showing the U.S. population could shrink for the first time in history. We explore how immigration enforcement, economics, and cultural narratives about family and children are driving these demographic shifts—and what it means for America’s future. 32:30 Ad Break 33:30 Nigel Farage, a member of parliament in Britain and founder of the Reform Party was asked to Washington to talk about threats against free speech. He testified in Congress earlier this week, and his testimony was a Bright Spot. Farage's warning against cancel culture and controlled speech are no exaggeration. Irish comedian, Graham Linehan was arrested in Britain this week for "hate speech" against the transgender community. 40:30 We finish off with with Vladimir Putin's invitation to Volodymyr Zelenskyy that will make you say, "Whoa!" Will Zelensky accept the invitation to visit Moscow? Then a lighter story: a Long Island man’s class ring, lost in 1969, is miraculously found and returned more than half a century later.

Wirtschaftsminister Guy Parmelin ist in der Nacht auf Freitag kurzfristig in die USA gereist. Zu Details der Reise äusserste sich das Wirtschaftsdepartement zunächst nicht, Parmelin dürfte aber wegen der von US-Präsident Donald Trump verhängten Zöllen auf Einfuhren aus der Schweiz in den USA sein. Weitere Themen: Die USA wollen Militärhilfen für Länder an der Grenze zu Russland nach 2026 auslaufen lassen. Schlüsselempfänger der Hilfe waren die baltischen Staaten, also Estland, Lettland und Litauen. Rüstet das Baltikum nun noch stärker auf? Nigel Farage, der Parteichef der Partei «Reform UK» hat es nicht nur geschafft, Grossbritannien aus der EU zu bewegen, er beherrscht die politische Agenda im Vereinigten Königreich. Unterdessen ist seine Partei zur beliebtesten des Landes avanciert - und Farage liebäugelt damit, Regierungschef zu werden.

Sam and Anne had this down as the first of our conference specials – as Nigel Farage delivered his speech to Reform delegates in Birmingham.  They're still debriefing on that on this episode but they can't ignore one of the most significant days of Keir Starmer's premiership so far and one of the biggest cabinet reshuffles in years.   Angela Rayner has gone. The cabinet has been overhauled with David Lammy now Deputy PM and Shabana Mahmood becoming Home Secretary.And, as you'd expect, Reform are using the Rayner saga to try to make capital – but was Farage polished enough in Birmingham?

Nigel Farage Has Already Won the Next Election | Reform UK Surging Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast. #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKElection #JonGaunt #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #GeneralElection Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast — Reform UK's surge is shaking Britain's political establishment to its core. At the GB News launch party in Washington, D.C., Farage boasted he will win the next UK General Election and take the keys to No.10.] Fresh from roasting Congress over freedom of speech and speaking with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Farage says Reform UK is the only party offering real answers while Labour and the Tories collapse into chaos. The polls tell the story. Voters have had enough of the old parties — copying Farage's policies hasn't saved them. People want authenticity, not cheap imitations. On illegal migration, migrant hotels, and the growing sense that Starmer backs everyone but the British public, Farage has seized the ground. Add the Angela Rayner tax scandal and her refusal to resign, and it's clear: Britain's political class is finished. Reform UK is rising — and Farage says he's already won. What do you think?

 Say No To Farage. Probably more than any other politician in Britain Nigel Farage was responsible for winning the vote on Brexit in 2016. He exploited racism and anti-migrant sentiment winning new converts over to an English centred- jingoistic view of the world. The dangers of Farage's xenophobic beliefs are evident daily across the British news media. Every day attacks increase on refugees and migrants.Farage has also exploited the divisions within the British Conservative Party. Theresa May and Boris Johnson said they were for completely cutting Britain from all its legal and legislative connections and treaty obligations with Europe. One of these is the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR was incorporated into the law of the North as an integral part of the Good Friday Agreement. It was written into the Agreement as a way of protecting equality and human rights and preventing any return to the discriminatory and sectarian policies implemented under the Stormont Regime.Farage has now made the withdrawal of Britain from the ECHR a major plank of his political programme for the next British general election. As the right in Britain become ever more strident Farage has set his sights, very publicly, on renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement and clearing the way to extricate Britain from the ECHR. Padraic Fiacc – A Belfast PoetPadraic Fiacc (born Patrick Joseph O'Connor) died six years ago at the age of 94. Several weeks ago a Blue Plaque was unveiled on the wall of the Falls Road Library, close to his birthplace, in memory of this redoubtable Belfast poet.His writing is not as well-known as other poets but his poems stand out for their stark language and brutal rawness, especially when he writes about the conflict. Michael and Brid McKernon, brother and sister, have been campaigning for almost twenty-five years to have Padraic Fiacc, formally recognised and accepted as an outstanding poet of his time. They believe the recent unveiling of the Ulster History Circle Blue Plaque, is a significant step in that direction. Chieftain's Walk, Doire 14th of September. 

When Nigel Farage arrived in Washington this week, a US congressman Jamie Raskin spoke the truth about this snake oil salesman. In Britain the worst of Farage's impulses are now indulged.On Free State today, Dion and Joe look at what the writer Tanjil Rashid has called ‘the age of deportation'.How have countries slipped closer to the authoritarian way of life and why is it being allowed to happen?They look at how Nigel Farage dominates the media and how the Labour Party led by Keir Starmer follows Farage agenda. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

First: Reform is naff – and that's why people like itGareth Roberts warns this week that ‘the Overton window is shifting' but in a very unexpected way. Nigel Farage is ahead in the polls – not only because his party is ‘bracingly right-wing', but ‘because Reform is camp'. Farage offers what Britain wants: ‘a cheeky, up-yours, never-mind-the-knockers revolt against our agonisingly earnest political masters'.‘From Farage on down,' Roberts argues, ‘there is a glorious kind of naffness' to Reform: daytime-TV aesthetics, ‘bargain-basement' celebrities and big-breasted local councillors. ‘The progressive activists thought they could win the culture war simply by saying they had won it', but ‘the John Bulls and Greasy Joans are stirring again'. Roberts loves how ‘the current excitement over flag-raising' is the ‘conniptions' it gives to ‘the FBPE crowd'. Of course, for Farage, planning for government ‘really cannot be a pantomime affair'. But ‘in these grim times' we ‘need the romping Reform'. Gareth joins the podcast to make his case for Carry On Reform.Next: the ‘she' consumed by masculine rageLionel Shriver reacts to the latest school shooting in America. The perpetrator was widely reported in the media with the pronouns ‘she/her' which, Lionel argues, is not just an issue around politeness. This glosses over the fact that the shooter was biologically male, adding to the majority of cases of school shootings that are conducting by men. By pandering to this incoherence of the reality of the situation, it doesn't help society to uncover the reasons behind the issue.Lionel joined the podcast alongside the Spectator's US editor Freddy Gray. Freddy points out how this shooting is just one example of how younger people can be transfixed by the very darkest sides of the internet.And finally: why people make up languages Constructed language expert Dr Bettina Beinhoff and author and historian Peter Parker join the podcast to talk about ‘made-up' languages. Why do humans construct languages outside of their every-day speech? Most people will have heard of Klingon or Elvish, used in books and film, but what about Polari – the subversive language used by groups of LGBT people decades ago – or the Potato language – which writer Melanie Ferbreach says her parents used to hide their conversations from her. Listeners may be impressed to hear Lara's own attempt at 'eggy-peggy'...Plus: with a special introduction from our political editor, Tim Shipman interviews shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick – is he trying to outflank Farage? Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Natasha Feroze.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

durée : 00:03:31 - Le monde à l'endroit - Figure du Brexit un temps retiré de la vie politique britannique, Nigel Farage est devenu l'opposant numéro un au premier ministre travailliste Keir Starmer. Son parti Reform UK caracole dans les sondages grâce à la vague anti-immigration et au soutien de l'Amérique trumpiste. Vous aimez ce podcast ? Pour écouter tous les autres épisodes sans limite, rendez-vous sur Radio France.

Politics is back with a bang, and so are Ed Balls and George Osborne. As Keir Starmer declares "phase two" of his government, he's immediately engulfed by a scandal that threatens his Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner. In this episode, Ed and George dissect her complicated tax affairs, the accusations of hypocrisy, and the difficult choice facing the Prime Minister: is she too powerful to sack?Next, they unpack how Nigel Farage and Reform UK managed to dominate the entire summer. While the government was on holiday, Farage set the agenda on immigration, crime, and free speech. Ed and George explore how he did it, why the government and opposition struggled to respond, and how it fuels the dangerous "drain the swamp" narrative that ‘they're all as bad as each other'.Plus, the pair turn to Starmer's attempt to reset with a major reshuffle of his Downing Street operation. With a new comms chief, top economic advisors, and the creation of a brand-new role - Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister - will this shake-up provide the grip and purpose the government desperately needs? Or are they just rearranging the deckchairs?To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

Deze week in Europa Draait Door aandacht voor een verdeeld Verenigd Koninkrijk. Niels Posthumus, correspondent voor Trouw en schrijver van het boek Verdeeld Koninkrijk, schuift aan om te vertellen hoe koning Charles III balanceert tussen eeuwenoude tradities en zijn uitgesproken visie op klimaat, migratie en religie.  En dat schuurt, zeker met figuren als Nigel Farage die hem jarenlang fel bestreden. Hoe verhouden de Britten zich tot een koning die níet onkreukbaar is zoals zijn moeder, maar juist menselijk, eigenwijs en soms ronduit lastig? En hoe kan het dat Farage weer helemaal terug is in de Britse politiek en zelfs bovenaan staat in de peilingen? Dat en véél meer in een nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door.

The morning after Nigel Farage appeared in Washington DC to berate his own country before Congress, the News Agents decamped to a Farage-free zone; his own constituency of Clacton-on-Sea. On Capitol Hill, Farage warned that the UK was turning into "North Korea" due to the restrictions on free speech laws. He urged the US not to follow Britain down this path - even urging Donald Trump to slap sanctions on his own country if it forces big tech companies to follow UK law rather than America's. We've been asking people here how they feel about their MP slagging of his - and their - country in America? Does they think he has a point? Or is Reform's leader simply being deeply unpatriotic?

This week, Britain's Labour Party returned to Westminster from a summer recess defined by anti-migrant protests, and during which, Nigel Farage's Reform UK dominated the news agenda.British prime minister Keir Starmer resumed business in parliament by announcing a small reshuffle of his Downing Street team. However, the Labour leader is still facing an array of domestic and foreign policy conundrums, most notably Farage's rapidly rising popularity.His right-wing Reform UK party has led Labour in about 90 successive opinion polls, while recent polls show 71 per cent of British voters believe the prime minister is handling the asylum hotel issue badly. Nearly four in ten British voters now cite immigration and asylum as the most important issue facing the country.With Starmer facing calls from Labour Party heavyweights to take a more radical approach to the small boats crisis, and calls led by Farage for Britain to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, the Labour Party is undoubtedly facing a rocky autumn season.What are the main challenges facing Starmer's Government in the coming weeks and how does he propose to overcome them?And how much have Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party benefited from Labour's plummeting support?Today, on In The News, can Keir Starmer claw back control as Nigel Farage soars ahead?Irish Times London correspondent Mark Paul discusses the political perils facing Keir Starmer as the summer recess ends.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Michael Gove and Madeline Grant launch ‘Quite right!', the new podcast from The Spectator that promises sanity and common sense in a world that too often lacks both.In their first episode, they take stock of a political summer dominated by Nigel Farage, a Labour government already facing mutiny, and the curious spectacle of Tory MPs moonlighting as gonzo reporters.From J.D. Vance's Cotswold sojourn and Tom Skinner's bish bash bosh patriotism, to Sydney Sweeney's jeans advert causing a culture war, Michael and Madeline discuss what really drives our politics: policies, or memes and vibes?Plus: Keir Starmer's ‘phase two' reshuffle – does it amount to more than technocratic jargon? And why has cosy crime conquered our screens, even as Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club stumbles upon its Netflix release?Produced by Oscar Edmondson, Oscar Bicket and Matt Miszczak.

En mayor o en menor medida todos los Gobiernos europeos se enfrentan al crecimiento en las encuestas de partidos identitarios y populistas. No hay ningún país que se escape a esa tendencia. Tanto el populismo de izquierda como el de derecha atraviesan un periodo dorado, especialmente entre los votantes más jóvenes. Pero hay una excepción a esta norma de edad: el Reino Unido, donde sucede todo lo contrario. Allí son los votantes más mayores, esencialmente los pensionistas, sobre quienes se sustenta este crecimiento sostenido de partidos como Reform UK en la derecha o Your Party en la izquierda, una nueva formación política que el anterior líder de los laboristas, Jeremy Corbyn acaba de fundar para pelear a Keir Starmer el voto más escorado a la izquierda. En el caso del Reino Unido llueve, en cierto modo, sobre mojado. Ya en el referéndum del Brexit hace casi diez años quienes decantaron el resultado final fueron precisamente los jubilados, mientras la población más joven votaba mayoritariamente por permanecer en la Unión Europea. Esa radicalización política de los pensionistas no ha hecho más que acrecentarse en los últimos años. Tanto las manifestaciones de la extrema derecha como las de la extrema izquierda están llenas de jubilados y son también muchos jubilados quienes detiene la policía por protagonizar altercados. En las protestas contra la guerra de Gaza, por ejemplo, aproximadamente la mitad de los detenidos son mayores de 60 años, algunos de ellos incluso han sido acusados de terrorismo por la fiscalía. El peso electoral de los pensionistas es cada vez mayor ya que la sociedad británica es una de las más envejecidas del mundo. La edad media en el Reino Unido es de más de 40 años y hay más mayores de 65 años que menores de 15, pero los primeros votan y los segundos no. Esto tiene consecuencias directas en las elecciones. En las últimas Keir Starmer ganó con un ajustado 32% de los votos pero, gracias al sistema electoral, consiguió una cómoda mayoría absoluta. Eso sí, todo indica que una carambola como esta no volvería a repetirse de celebrarse hoy las elecciones. Quien se lo llevaría todo sería Nigel Farage y Reform UK. Las encuestas más recientes le dan aproximadamente un tercio de los votos al mismo tiempo que hunden (aún más) a los conservadores y a los laboristas. Faltan aún casi cuatro años para las próximas elecciones y Starmer se muestra relativamente tranquilo y confiado, pero si la tendencia se afianza puede ir despidiéndose ya de revalidar el cargo. Fácil no lo tiene. La situación económica es comprometida, no ha regresado el crecimiento que prometió hace un año y cunde el desánimo. Es en ese ambiente en el que Farage está pescando y donde Corbyn quiere hacer lo propio. Your Party ha empezado a aparecer ya en las encuestas y algunas le adjudican hasta un 15% de intención de voto. En ambos casos el principal empuje son el grupo de edad que se sitúa por encima de los 60 años, mientras los jóvenes y los británicos de mediana edad se muestran más moderados en sus preferencias políticas, justo lo contrario de lo que está sucediendo en el resto de Europa. Para hablar de este tema vuelve, desde el corazón de Inglaterra, Andrea a La ContraCrónica. Entre ambos trataremos de desentrañar las razones de esta particularidad británica que tiene a los sociólogos un tanto confusos. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.
