Resetting the NPP isn't about a 'Thank you tour and long talks.' The party should reach out, acknowledge its mistakes, and apologize to those of us they have offended.

My guest for this episode is former Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay - one of the most resilient and courageous individuals we've had the privilege to talk to on this podcast.In September 2023 Craig contracted a severe and sudden case of sepsis, leading to all four of his limbs being amputated.

Craig has used his experience and recent elevation to the House of Lords, to raise awareness about sepsis and the poor availability of NHS prosthetics.Craig has an incredibly positive attitude, never dwelling on what he can't do and instead rejoicing in what he can.I hope you enjoy this inspirational episode and my thanks to Craig who invited us into his home to record this episode.Links    Stream/buy ‘Allies' by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm    Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk      Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682    Host – Andy Coulson   CWC team: Jane Sankey, Louise Difford, Mabel Pickering   With special thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at Global      For all PR and guest approaches please contact – podcast@coulsonpartners.com   

A political commentator thinks the Greens are in a difficult space with regard to the Darleen Tana report.  The embattled MP, who resigned from the party, is denying allegations of knowledge or involvement in migrant exploitation at her husband's business.  A report into Tana has concluded but has not been made public.  She broke her silence last night, speaking to TVNZ about her disagreement with the findings of the report.  Former MP and commentator Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking that invoking the waka jumping legislation could mean even more weeks til the matter's resolved.  He says its likely she's throwing down the gauntlet to the Greens.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A political commentator says it's telling only one person's been held accountable after multiple leaks from the public service. Casey Costello had to apologise in the House this week, after claiming she hadn't sought advice on freezing tobacco excise tax, despite notes leaked to RNZ showing she did. The Health Ministry's confirmed the person responsible for the leak is no longer employed. Former MP Peter Dunne says this isn't the only leak there's since the Government's formed. "It just makes me wonder whether they found someone who's being a bit of a scapegoat for all of the leaks, even if they're not responsible for them."

A former Minister says the continuing Government negotiations are starting to look bad for Chris Luxon. Another week of talks has begun, and the Prime Minister-elect says he's unlikely to be able to leave for the APEC Summit on Wednesday, with nothing wrapped up. Peter Dunne says Luxon gave the impression his business background would help him strike a deal quickly. "He's got the second-longest set of negotiations since NZ First was first involved in negations. And he's somehow seems to believe he could do it all differently- and better. He's fallen into the same trap others have." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most recent polls continue to point towards a change in government.  Surveys by Newshub-Reid Research and 1News-Verian both pick a National-New Zealand First-ACT coalition as the likely winners on Saturday.  Former MP and political commentator Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking that there's no clear path to power for the centre left, and National's path increasingly relies on Winston Peters' party.   He says there'd have to be a big surge in Labour votes to alter that, and the way the polls have been tracking all year it won't move more than one percent, which won't be enough.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ex-MP Simon Danczuk joins Mark to share his many political views and in-depth knowledge of the system and the people of the UK. He talks about his days as an MP including exposing the Rochdale grooming gang and Cyril Smith, about his business background, immigration, the private rent sector and housing and the lack of leadership in parliament. KEY TAKEAWAYS  At just age 15, Simon knew he wanted to become an MP and eventually became a counsellor at 27. Simon formed his own business and stepped down from being a counsellor. But once he hit 40 he decided to get into politics again and became an MP for Rochdale in 2010. Some of Simon's experience from being a counsellor, allowed him to win clients for his agency because he understood a lot of the context and detail. You can't have a flexible labour force if you don't have enough rentals and housing for people to easily move. What politics has been lacking is strategy and vision which we are seeing the real impact of now. There's a big economic event every ten years but the issue at the moment is that the media is particularly good at fear-mongering which has a large impact on the collective feeling of the country. There are 23 million working-age people in the UK that are economically inactive. We need to really incentivise these people to start working. BEST MOMENTS   ‘I get a lot of satisfaction from solving people's problems and coming up with solutions” “People still like to buy their home but rental is still crucial” “Rents have doubled since 2016 because they have reduced the amount of rental properties” “Surely you can incentivise people to go back to work” VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Former MP and ultra-marathon runner Pat Farmer is aiming to run more than 14,000 km in support of the proposal for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

Today it is 100 years since the BBC began broadcasting on radio. To celebrate that centenary, we have commissioned a poem by Kim Moore and created a soundscape to show how much women's lives, and the noises that surround them, have changed - using BBC archive from the 1920s right through to the present day. We also ask why did the BBC get its nickname ‘Auntie'? And what kind of aunt would she be? To mark 100 years since the BBC started daily radio broadcasts, Emma Barnett is joined by television presenter and comedian Mel Giedroyc and historian of the BBC Professor Jean Seaton. Sir Gavin Williamson resigned from the cabinet last week following allegations of bullying; the Labour MP Charlotte Nichols has claimed there is a "whisper list" of 40 politicians to never accept a drink from or be alone with; and claims have emerged over the weekend that civil servants at the Ministry of Justice were offered “respite or a route out” when Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab was reappointed last month. Emma asks Anne Milton, the former deputy chief whip who has accused Gavin Williamson of subjecting MPs to “unethical and immoral behaviour" - whether we can infer a 'blokeish' culture in politics. We also hear from Isabel Hardman, Assistant Editor at the Spectator. Anna Sorokin was born to an ordinary family in Moscow, before moving to Germany as a teenager. But upon arriving in New York, she transformed herself into Anna Delvey, a German multimillionaire heiress with a trust fund in Europe. She used this persona to lead a lavish lifestyle and conned friends, big banks and hotels into thinking that her fortune could cover the luxury she desired. But it was all a con. She was found guilty in 2019 of theft of services and grand larceny, having scammed more than $200,000 (£145,000) and spent almost four years in jail. In her first radio interview since being released, Anna Delvey joins Emma.
