The Green Party has pulled off a landmark victory in the Gordon and Denton byelection in a major blow to Keir Starmer. Hannah Spencer, a local plumber, was elected as the party's first MP in northern England, with Labour pushed into third place behind Nigel Farage's Reform UK despite having a 13,000-vote majority.

Hannah Spencer's victory marks the first ever Green by-election gain – but the real shock is Labour's collapse into third place in one of its safest seats. For Sir Keir Starmer, it's hard to imagine a worse result. Labour MPs are up bright and early briefing against the Prime Minister, whose odds of a leadership challenge just soared.Tim Shipman and James Heale join Megan McElroy to discuss.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In this episode of the Whitehall Sources Podcast, Calum Macdonald and political strategist Jo Tanner break down one of the most unpredictable by-elections in recent years — a potential three-way fight between Labour, Reform, and the Greens in Gorton and Denton. Calum and Jo are joined by Scarlett McGuire, founder of Merlin Strategy, to break down the political implications of the vote. They discuss the political make up of the constituency, how tactical voting could sway the vote and whether the first-past-the-post electoral system will be able to cope with up to 6 major parties in play in different parts of the UK.

This week, Michael is joined by Munira Mirza. Raised in Oldham and educated at Oxford, Munira worked at Policy Exchange before serving as Deputy Mayor of London under Boris Johnson and later as Director of the No.10 Policy Unit, where she helped shape the Conservatives' 2019 election manifesto. She now leads Civic Future and the think tank Fix Britain.In the first of this two-part interview, Munira reflects on Labour's vulnerability in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election, and the ‘serious threat' it faces if the Muslim votes flees to the Greens. She discusses the politicisation of religious identity, the influence of Islamism in Britain, and what she sees as a failure of public authorities to confront hard truths.They also discuss the news this week that Valdo Calocane – the man who killed three people in Nottingham in 2023 – was released from hospital in 2020 because health professionals were concerned about the disproportionate number of black men who were being detained in the mental health system. Munira argues that fear of being accused of institutional racism has distorted decision-making, a scandal of potentially greater magnitude than the grooming gangs and with serious consequences for public safety.Finally, she revisits Brexit and the 2019 realignment, defending the decision to leave the EU and arguing that levelling up was an attempt to fix a broken economic model built on high immigration and weak productivity.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

In a rowdy session of PMQs before the Gorton and Denton by-election, Keir Starmer attacks both the Greens and Reform - but Kemi Badenoch accuses Labour of being the "paedo-defenders party". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's PMQs was dominated by the extraordinary arrest of Peter Mandelson, who was detained after police were allegedly warned he was preparing to flee the country by no other than the Speaker of the Commons, Lindsay Hoyle.Camilla and Tim react to the explosive exchanges at PMQs, including Kemi Badenoch's attack branding Labour the “paedo defender party”, the Tories' choice to go hard on student debt, and some very obviously planted questions on the Gorton and Denton by-election.And Tim headed to Gorton and Denton ahead of a knife-edge by-election to try (and mostly fail) to track down Zack Polanski, the Greens' leader.We want to hear from you!

Starmer's 'Watergate' moment hits as he refuses to publish the remaining files on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The Green Party says it wants to give free housing, wages and NHS treatment to illegal migrants. Jacob Rees-Mogg joins Jeremy Kyle and former head of Royal security Dai Davies and Royal biographer Andrew Lownie discuss the fall of Andrew whilst Jeremy heads up to Gorton & Denton to look at the close by election race between Reform UK & the Green Party.

The upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election is set to be another major test of Keir Starmer's authority as leader of the Labour party, following the arrest of his selected former British Ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson.In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to The Standard's political editor, Nicolas Cecil, alongside chief political correspondent Rachel Burford, to lay out the possible outcomes of the by-election, and weigh up how catastrophic losing could be for Labour — and for Keir Starmer.

There was a huge reaction to yesterday's Politics Wednesday segment on homelessness and move-on orders. Labour argues homelessness is up dramatically and there is nowhere for these people to go. New numbers released today show that simply, in Auckland anyway, is not true. Advocates working in the area tell us numbers are down 29%. Part of that drop is due to Government funding in October of last year to improve outreach, as well as the provision of 207 housing places in the Housing First programme. So, like a lot of other issues being raised as being disasters, the truth tells a different story. As I have said, Labour is going to lose the election anyway. But their growing problem is reality is smashing directly into their ideology. Their plan to this point, and it was reflected well in the Hipkins so-called "State of the Nation" speech, is to tell you everything is a mess, it's all broken, it's all been cocked up and is going backwards. The theory is if they set the mood right what they have to offer doesn't need to be a thing, hence they have no policies outside their capital gains tax. You're in a funk and you vote the Government out because they have convinced you life sucks. Except the evidence that it isn't, is starting to arrive, and in some volume. Growth is up, spending is up, confidence is up, performance in schools is up, kids are actually turning up to school, large industrial relations deals are being signed so strikes are off, crime is down, and now homelessness is down as well. By November employment will have turned and the picture, broadly, will be complete. It's hard to compete against good economic news and it's hard to compete against positive social news like the homelessness stats. And it's really hard, and this is where Labour and the Greens are blowing it, against the wider will and view of the populous. On move-on orders, like the gang patches and like the ram raids, crack downs are popular. Defending crooks and drug addicts and trouble makers is not a vote getter.

This week, Alona is joined by contributing editor Tom Clark and political columnist Ben Ansell to discuss what's at stake in the upcoming Manchester byelection. With the polls showing a three-way-race between the Greens, Labour and Reform, the area has become a microcosm for wider political trends, with the position of the establishment parties more uncertain than ever.Tom shares the mood in the constituency and what voters are saying on the ground. Ben, Alona and Tom also discuss the possible outcomes, and why many voters have lost faith in the traditional parties.They also analyse the tactical decision to not have Zack Polanski run in the seat, and why losing here could speed up Starmer's departure.

A seemingly standard by-election in the UK could serve as a make or break moment for Britain's prime minister Keir Starmer.

The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Epstein-related allegations of misconduct in public office stuns the world. He has not been charged with any offence – but is the former Prince's past damaging the Monarchy irreparably? And when will the victims of Epstein and his circle get justice? Plus, as the vindictive Gorton & Denton by-election enters its last few days we talk to Jack Walton of local news site Manchester Mill about the vibe on the ground… and whether it's worse for Labour if the Greens or Matt Goodwin of Reform win.  • Manchester Mill is part of the Mill Media group creating good old-fashioned local journalism for British cities including Liverpool, Sheffield, Glasgow and Bristol.  ESCAPE ROUTES • Rachel has been watching the Winter Olympics as a chaser to Heated Rivalry on Sky.  • Jack has been reading Laughter in the Dark by Vladimir Nabokov • Andrew recommends escaping modern politics by diving into '90s politics and C4's The Tony Blair Story.

“Wicked Problems,” hosted by Richard Delevan, returns after a long hiatus and links escalating repression - newly including climate activists - with a high-stakes by-election in Greater Manchester. It opens with concerns about confrontational protest being met with violence and political repression, alongside Nigel Farage's Reform proposing a “UK deportation command,” expanding detention with “no chance of bail,” and “detention will mean deportation.” Devin cites New York Times reporting that the FBI has begun targeting climate activists, including people who have not protested in years, and frames this as part of a broader effort to quash dissent.Professor Dana R. Fisher of American University discusses what she describes as a “perfect storm” in the US: federal occupations of cities (highlighting Minneapolis), the murder of two American citizens while they were bearing witness to ICE actions, the president getting rid of the endangerment finding underlying US climate policy, and FBI investigations focusing on the "radical fringe" of the climate movement. Fisher argues these groups are “low hanging fruit” because their confrontational tactics (e.g., throwing paint, smearing food, blocking traffic, bird-dogging elected officials) are widely unpopular, making it easier for authorities to target them first as part of a broader slide toward autocracy that also threatens media freedoms. She says repression and violence against peaceful activists historically mobilize larger protests, even as it can lead to persecution, jail, and martyrdom. She also describes survey results from a Women's March–coordinated “Free America walkout” showing over 75% support for a movement becoming more confrontational and 65% willingness to personally engage in confrontational activism; she notes the participants were largely white, female, older, and highly educated.Prof. Fisher's Apocalyptic Optimist podcast.Britain has already jailed nonviolent climate protestors and restricted defenses in court, with ongoing debates about protest trials and labeling Palestine Action a terror group. The Gorton and Denton by-election seems to be between Reform, seeking to import Trump's climate and migration agenda, and the surging Green Party, treating climate, inequality, and migration as realities to face without losing humanity. The show notes a single constituency poll with Green candidate Hannah Spencer ahead of Reform's Matt Goodwin, with Labour (which has held the seat for a century) behind; as Labour is consumed by Epstein-linked arrests and scandal involving Peter Mandelson and former Prince Andrew.In an interview recorded late in 2025, Harriet Lamb, CEO of the Green Party of England and Wales, describes rapid growth following Zach Polanski's leadership, with membership doubling to over 150,000. Lamb connects her background in international development and environmental and social justice to party politics, argues the UK has shifted into a multi-party system creating both dangers and opportunities, and emphasizes a “people and planet” platform focused on the cost-of-living crisis, inequality, wealth taxes, and strong public support for climate action. She discusses candidate development through a “Greens to Parliament” program aimed at building a diverse slate for 2029, and says coalition politics must protect Green principles and public trust, citing German coalition negotiations and the Scottish Greens' Bute House agreement as examples.00:00 Confrontation and Repression01:35 Wicked Problems Returns04:11 FBI Targets Climate Activists07:42 Low Hanging Fruit and Autocracy19:18 UK By-Election and Green Surge29:32 Hope Surge and Outreach31:28 Broad Coalition and Core Values36:28 Vetting New Recruits38:39 Road to Parliament and Coalitions45:24 Milestones and Closing Reflections Hosted on Acast.

Credit to those 120 business people who went along to hear Chris Hipkins' State of the Nation address yesterday, hosted by the Auckland Business Chamber. Credit to those few people who watched it live, like my colleague Mike Hosking. My word, it was dull. And that is not me being a lickspittle mouthpiece for the Tory overlords. Have a listen to this: “I know we didn't get everything right when we were in government last time. Many of you have been very clear on what you think we did wrong. But one thing is clear, we were trying to do too much, too fast, and we weren't focused enough. We're going to be making further announcements later in the year as we get closer to the election. But I want to be very, very clear on this. I want to know that I can deliver on any promises that I make. That's the standard that I'll be holding myself to and our next Labour Government to. “Because frankly, Kiwis have had enough of promises that aren't kept. And I don't want to repeat that cycle. We won't try and do everything in our first term. We'll be focusing on what matters the most and delivering on those things. I'm not promising perfection. Where we make mistakes, I'll take responsibility for those. But I'm promising this: a government that puts the cost of living first, a government that partners with business to create jobs and raise wages, a government that invests in our people and backs our potential. Not just managing the country, building it.” Yes. So there was another 20 odd minutes of the same, 20 odd minutes. He banged on about affordability, that word was used a lot. Repeated the mantra I first heard when he came in for the quarterly catch up, and which we will no doubt hear throughout the campaign: jobs, health, homes. He went big on renewable energy, promised Labour would scrap the Government's proposed gas import terminal. Also went big on his future fund. As speeches go, he was no JFK. It is not one for the history books. But commentators say that was by design, like Tim Murphy from Newsroom. Tim says this was Labour trying to convey maturity, a little contrition, humility, and to claim it could be the adult in the room now and after the November 7 election. Luke Malpass from The Press says the speech was to present as a calm port in a cost of living storm, to be dependable, reliable, and boring even. That was the aim. Well, that's something Labour's achieved. Above all else, says Luke, at this stage of the game, to not change the strategy that has served Labour well so far, which is not say much, not do much, not announce much. And it has worked for them. When there is nothing that you can argue against, it's steady as she goes. They're just letting the Coalition Government make mistakes, or not work fast enough, or not be snazzy enough for the electorate, and they're just sitting there and collecting the votes of the centre, who are underwhelmed by the Coalition Government. Basically, they're saying vote for this Chris because he's not Christopher Luxon and we're not National. But that works both ways. You might not be wowed by the Coalition Government and the Prime Minister, but the message could be at least they're not Labour, Greens, and Te Pāti Māori, and at least Christopher Luxon isn't the Chris that was in charge last time.

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout This week on The Golfing Mind, we are stripping golf back to the cold, hard evidence. No clichés. No swing theories. Just Facts, Figures and Statistics. Over the past twenty years, the average PGA Tour drive has increased by more than ten yards. Ball speeds have surged. Players train like elite athletes. Technology has refined every inch of performance. And yet — scoring has improved by barely half a stroke. How can that be? We'll explore the rise of Strokes Gained — the statistical revolution that exposes exactly where tournaments are won and lost. We'll examine Greens in Regulation, sand save percentages, driving accuracy, and putting averages. We'll reveal how less than one stroke per round often separates the world number one from the player ranked fiftieth. And here's the uncomfortable truth: The margins are microscopic. One poor decision. One emotional lapse. One moment of doubt. The numbers prove what I've argued for years — excellence in golf lives inside tiny gaps. And those gaps are not technical. They are psychological. Because when performance differences are measured in tenths of a stroke… The mind becomes the ultimate differentiator. Let's examine the data — and then read between the lines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

WE COOKIN' THIS WEEK! We kicked things off with the Toy Story 5 trailer — the gang is back, and this time Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the crew are facing modern tech threats like never before, thanks to a brand-new high-tech toy called Lilypad that threatens the core of playtime. Next up, we hit the Star Wars universe as we watched the The Mandalorian and Grogu teaser, which brings Din Djarin and Grogu's story back to the big screen with an expanded cast including colonel leader Sigourney Weaver and Hutt heir Jeremy Allen White, with plenty of classic galaxy-wide adventure vibes.Then adrenaline switched up hard with the House of the Dragon Season 3 trailer — dragons in full-scale war, Greens vs. Blacks, massive battles, and Westeros in total chaos as the Targaryen civil war explodes onscreen. Finally, we took a hard turn into horror with The Mummy trailer — the latest reboot from director Lee Cronin is promising a fresh, evil-infested nightmare take on the classic monster tale.

Lucy Maloney wants councillors to attend in person, the Olympic Village school is further delayed, Langara Gardens is going ahead, and so is a city-owned development on the Main Street McDonalds.

Tonight on The Huddle, Kiwiblog writer and Curia pollster David Farrar and former Labour MP Phil Goff joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Wellington City Council wants local authorities to have more power to curb heritage listings. Do we think this is a good idea? Chris Bishop today confirmed the Government is revising the city's housing capacity number in its new plan and focusing more on building in the city and by transport hubs. Why do we think the Government had to back down? Winston Peters copped some backlash over some comments that Labour and the Greens have dubbed 'racist'. Do we think this backlash is fair? Why do we think the Government hit pause on introducing four-year terms? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winston Peters has been accused of racism in Parliament by Labour and the Greens following his comments in Parliament yesterday. Peters singled out a Green MP for his Rarotongan heritage - and Labour's Willie Jackson was quick to voice his concerns in the House today. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper recapped the events. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Elliott has received a media release released jointly by One Nation and the Greens, and it's one he's found quite weird.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This one's important. If the Greens win, it will end Starmer's short stint as PM and - as importantly - show that Reform are NOT the default winners at the next general election. But can they do it? Transport is a key local issue in this byelection, and given its importance for communities and indeed the future of our democracy, it was time to create a new scoring system to help target where improvements need to be made: the PROCIV system. It's scientific - and it helps us see what improvements Gorton and Denton must see to make people's lives better. Support #Railnatter at https://patreon.com/garethdennis.

As I watch Chris Hipkins, presumably gleefully, mess about with the India Free Trade deal, I'm reminded this is not the Labour Party that did the FTA with China. Hipkins is no Helen Clark and in that is a great sadness. For all those who occasionally contact me and ask of the possibility of a so-called “grand coalition” —a relationship between the Labour and National parties— before you ask, next time look at the way Hipkins plays these games and there is your answer. Even in areas of broad agreement, they still can't act like grownups. It's also a lesson in name vs substance. The Labour Party of the past few years is nothing like Labour of the late 90's and early 2000's. That was a centrist version. Yes, they still handed out free money to people like students to bribe them in election year. But the rest of the time they actually ran the economy in growth. Compared to Barbara Edmonds, Michael Cullen was a conservative. In the early parts of 1984 Labour, with David Lange, was similar, and here is your irony that Hipkins fails to recognise: when Labour are, broadly speaking, middle of the road they are actually popular. Ask Bob Hawke or Paul Keating or Tony Blair – centrist Labour is successful Labour. By the time you take modern Labour with Hipkins and Sepuloni, and add the Greens in the mix, you are seeing the left wing “group think” that not only keeps them out of office, but leads to the sort of game playing we have with an FTA. Yes, the Government probably shouldn't have to rely on them and for all the games Labour plays, New Zealand First is just as bad with their xenophobic nonsense. But Labour once had a global view. It's not like the Chinese weren't thought of with great suspicion prior to 2008. But the bigger picture was at play. The realisation that large countries and their economies could be good for everyone was a driving force. What Labour would do well to do is put this country first. Not score points, not look like children, and not pretend they actually had anything to do with negotiating this thing at all. FTAs are big picture, not a three-year electoral cycle game. I don't think I'm alone in wishing there were more adults in the room. Labour 1999-2008 put the current lot to shame. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sir John Curtice, Britain's most famous polling expert and stalwart of BBC election nights, is at risk of becoming a national treasure. Here he offers his insights into the fragmentation of British politics; the rise of Reform under Farage and of the Greens under Polanksi; the challenges facing Labour and the Tories; the unpopularity of Sir Keir Starmer and British political leaders in general; the key requirements of leadership; the impact of culture wars on voting trends; the role of social media in shaping voters' priorities, and the effect of polling on the political landscape.

Looking 4 Healing Radio with Elizabeth Joseph – Too many people chase quick fixes while ignoring the one thing that rebuilds the body: food. This piece explains why raw greens and fiber matter for colon health, how the microbiome responds to daily choices, and why consistency with plants, water, and rest creates lasting healing instead of temporary relief...

Jack Horgan-Jones and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· This week saw the European Parliament approve a € 90 billion package to support Ukraine in its defensive war against Russia. The loan was approved by a comfortable majority, but among those who voted against it were Sinn Féin's two MEPs, Lynn Boylan and Kathleen Funchion. The decision to oppose the measure put them in the company of the likes of Germany's Alternative für Deutschland, Hungary's Fidesz and France's Rassemblement National.· The Government has made a U-turn on the regulation of short-term lets here. After consultation with the tourism industry, Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke decided to change the previous plan to restrict such lets in towns with populations of more than 10,000 to populations of at least 20,000, this move would effectively lift the threat of regulation from potentially thousands of Airbnbs across rural towns here.· The mood was buoyant at the Social Democrat national conference in Cork with the afterglow of Catherine Connolly's presidential election win in evidence, along with polls showing the party has begun to put daylight between itself and the Greens and Labour, who occupy the same political space. Are they about to spearhead a united left movement ahead of the next general election?· Plus, sport and politics collide ahead of the Republic of Ireland's Nations League fixtures against Israel in the autumn. There have been calls for a boycott, but the FAI confirmed on Thursday that the matches would go ahead as planned. Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

GIR remains, by far, the best of the traditional golf stats. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg start with their definitions of a GIR (should there be some flexibility?), and then transition into the most important—and overlooked—question: Why are you missing greens? Until you can get a clear answer to that question, it's hard to make consistent improvement in your golf.
