Today's interview is with my good friend, Gavin Williamson. One beautiful women brought him in to the Church, and another beautiful women brought him back after he drifted away for a few years. I think you'll enjoy hearing his story. I did!

In the week U.K Home Secretary Suella Braverman was finally sacked, host Aggie Chambre asks what you actually have to do to get fired from the government — and what the calculations are for the leaders doing the firing. Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader, recalls his "underhand" sacking of two junior ministers, while Cleo Watson, a former deputy chief of staff at Downing Street, reveals the secrets of the reshuffle whiteboard. Former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan tells Aggie what really happened when she was sacked by Theresa May in 2016, and the "awkward" conversation that followed. And May's ex-chief of staff Gavin Barwell lifts the lid on what it's like to sack a minister — in this case Gavin Williamson — embroiled in scandal.Former Chief Whip Wendy Morton talks through her approach to sacking people, while former minister Matt Warman reveals what it was like being sacked by Morton. And Tory MP Paul Bristow — who was sacked as a government aide last month — explains why he has no regrets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Five British MPs have been caught on camera salivating over the chance to make well over $10,000 a day! Led by Donkeys, an anti-Brexit group, set up the sting operation. Although the MPs, including Kwasi Kwarteng, Gavin Williamson, and the already scandal-hit Matt Hancock, did nothing illegal, it raises the question as to whether MPs should have second jobs. Considering this expose occurred during the country's cost of living crisis, for many Brits, the whole thing smells really, really bad.

TalkTV's International Editor Isabel Oakeshott kicks off today's show to discuss day two of her Lockdown Files expose with The Telegraph that shows how Matt Hancock branded teaching unions 'absolute asses' via text while Gavin Williamson said teachers ‘hated work'. Shortly after we speak to The Spectator's Gavin Mortimer to discuss how up to a third of the overseas aid budget is being used for housing refugees in the UK according to a recent MPs report. Leader of the Social Democratic Party and Co Founder of UsForThem Molly Kingsley returns to The Independent Republic to discuss further Isabel Oakeshott's expose on governmental lockdown messages via WhatsApp. Writer and Commentator Jordan Tyldesley joins shortly after to discuss a Pupil protest at Leeds's Farnley Academy over toilet rules and The Spectators Ian Williams closes the show to discuss FBI director Christopher Wray's recent revelation that the Wuhan lab leak likely caused Covid pandemic. All that and so much more, so tune in! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As loyal listeners to the podcast will know, we regard the Conservative politician Sir Gavin Williamson as a source of almost endless fascination. His personal idiosyncrasies and unusual career path seem unique. But do politicians play by the same rules as the rest of us or are they held to an entirely different standard? In this week's podcast, we discuss Sir Gavin Williamson. We sketch out the synergies between politics, sport, finance and the arts, present data on personality traits for leadership and speculate on the personality types of previous prime ministers. Finally, we share our worst character traits and reveal who we regard as the most underrated prime ministers. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - Gavin Williamson text messages unacceptable, PM says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63530070 - Commons watchdog hints at potential Gavin Williamson investigation https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/15/commons-watchdog-hints-potential-gavin-williamson-investigation - Personality and Leadership: A Qualitative and Quantitative Review http://www.timothy-judge.com/Judge%2C%20Bono%2C%20Ilies%2C%20%26%20Gerhardt.pdf For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com Image: Number 10 via Flickr

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.

This weeks clips include Donny goes to hospital, as really stupid idea from Gavin Williamson and an even stupider one from Pritti Patel and a rat gets its just deserts.

Climate protests continue to disrupt the UK as world leaders gather for COP27, Gavin Williamson resigns from the cabinet following allegations of bullying behaviour, and the American midterms are nowhere near as disastrous for Joe Biden and the Democrats as many were predicting.In this episode we have exclusive audio from a White House press rehearsal of Biden's post-midterms speech, Allyson June Smith wonders why Rishi Sunak is so hopelessly dependent on bullies and blowhards, and our undercover correspondent Danny Sutcliffe gets stuck right in with Just Stop Oil. Enjoying the show?

Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith discuss the arrest of LBC reporter Charlotte Lynch, the resignation of Gavin Williamson, The Crown, the US midterms, Matt Hancock in 'I'm a Celebrity', the nurses' strike, the state of the NHS, Kwasi Kwarteng's first interview, the death of Sir David Butler, Boris Johnson's resignation honours list and the podcast's fifth anniversary. Smut Quotient: Middling.

Adrian Goldberg reflects on seven days when former Health Secretary Matt Hancock entered the creepy crawly world of the 'I'm A Celebrity' jungle and tarantula loving minister Gavin Williamson found that victims of bullying bite back in the Westminster jungle. It was also the week when the Bank Of England warned that the UK was entering the longest recession this century, and nurses voted to strike. Meanwhile in the US, voters went to the polls for the mid term elections. We hear from Sam Bright, Byline Times investigations editor and author of 'Fortress London - Why We Need To Save The Country From Its Capital' and Heidi Siegmund Cuda from the Radicalized Pod.Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg.

Kirsty Buchanan OBE and Lord Reddrop (*Tbc) join man-of-the-people Calum Macdonald to take you behind the door of Number 10 Downing Street and unpack all that's going on. Is it valid to use someone as the "enforcer" in a political party? Gavin Williamson had to resign because of his conduct and how he dealt with others in the Conservative party. Kirsty and Oscar explain what the Chief Whip does and whether "good-cop-bad-cop" works in party discipline. More than that - is this just one of many problems now facing Rishi Sunak? We look at the economy, ahead of the autumn statement on November 17th and the short leash the Conservative party have got the prime minister on, depending on what he announces. Plus how much of a challenge will it be when Boris Johnson appears before the privileges committee. And what happens when nurses say they want to go on strike? For Chequers and Balances we're joined by Frankie Leach who used to advise Jeremy Corbyn when he was the Leader of the Opposition. Frankie identifies a shift in mindset among the Labour party as they set their sights on winning the next general election.

Gavin Williamson is in trouble, again. This time the reveal of some expletive-laden texts he sent to then-chief whip Wendy Morton has raised questions for the government over why Williamson was brought back into frontline politics. On the podcast, Cindy Yu talks to James Forsyth and Isabel Hardman about whether the dual role of government whips (as discipline enforcers and pastoral carers) is confused and out of date. Produced by Cindy Yu.

This is a catch-up version of James O'Brien's live, daily show on LBC Radio. To join the conversation call: 0345 60 60 973

The US midterms could see Biden hamstrung by his political enemies – as the prospect of a 2024 Trump run looms. Is America headed for another period of turmoil and deadlock, with the Republicans controlling the Senate and the House? And in the UK, the political sack race is on between Gavin Williamson and Suella Braverman. Will Sunak ditch either of them – or wait until a more convenient time? Plus, the world turns its eyes to COP27. Andrew Harrison is joined by Alex Andreou to tee up the week ahead.  “If the Democrats lose both the House and Senate they could be in for two years of very rough battles.” – Alex Andreou  “The Republicans can make a hellscape and know voters will primarily blame Biden for it.” – Alex Andreou  “If Sunak is inclined to get rid of Braverman or Williamson, he will do it one day after the budget – while they're getting slated for their measures.” – Alex Andreou  “There is no doubt that for the next two years we will be paying for the Conservatives cock up.” – Alex Andreou  Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Presented by Andrew Harrison with Alex Andreou.
