Kyla Nicole Healey explains how a trained competitive dancer from Long Island pivoted into an independent jazz and indie-pop singer-songwriter career, why she refuses to sign away her masters, and what it took to record at Abbey Road Studios in London without label backing. The Green Room crew press Healey on the realities of fusing jazz roots with contemporary, folk, and Middle Eastern influences on her debut EP, Butterfly, releasing June 28th on vinyl.The conversation covers how Healey built her sound by listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan on vinyl records with her father since age three, performed at Alvin Ailey City Center in New York, traveled with the Zodiac Dance Company, and eventually followed her intuition to Los Angeles at 21 with almost no industry connections. A Long Island dancer turned genre-fusing vocalist, Healey represents a growing wave of independent artists choosing creative ownership over label infrastructure at every stage of their careers.

A new dawn has broken, with the Andy Burnham premiership finally beginning. Ed Balls and George Osborne dive deep into the packed first week of PM Burnham, from his first words at Downing Street, to his massive reshuffle, and initial policy announcements. Is he being too ambitious out of the gate? Can he do politics differently? Will this really be a circuit breaker for Britain?The big surprise of Burnham's cabinet is also the biggest role: Chancellor John Healey. Why did he go for the ex-defence secretary rather than presumed frontrunners Ed Miliband or Shabana Mahmood? Ed and George recall their own memories of Healey to assess whether he will be a creature of the Treasury or make the Treasury his creature. They also speculate whether these initial announcements could lay the groundwork for an Autumn election…Finally, despite the best efforts of the new PM and chancellor, global conflicts will determine what they can do. With the situation in Iran heating up once more, how will Burnham respond to foreign dilemmas? Is appointing Ed Miliband a canny move or will it spark new conflict with the Trump White House?

Andy Burnham, séptimo primer ministro del Reino Unido en los últimos diez años, hizo este lunes su entrada triunfal en el 10 de Downing Street prometiendo que un Estado más grande y más fuerte resolverá los problemas económicos del país y le devolverá su estabilidad política. De pie frente a la residencia oficial del primer ministro, Burnham dijo ser plenamente consciente de que el Reino Unido ha estado cambiando de líderes a un ritmo demasiado rápido y que eso exige que la nueva generación de políticos respondan a los desafíos que plantea la sociedad británica. Burnham, que tiene 56 años y a sus espaldas carga una larga carrera política, esbozó una visión general del país en la que un Estado más intervencionista revertiría lo que llamó 40 años de neoliberalismo. Burnham quiere descentralizar el poder desde Londres hacia las regiones, se comprometió a poner “los elementos esenciales de la vida bajo control estatal” y dijo que su primera política sería acabar con la gente sin hogar durmiendo en las calles. También prometió presentar a finales de este año un plan a diez años para el país que ofrecería “un nuevo modelo político y un nuevo modelo económico”. Entre las medidas que se están considerando figuran los controles de alquileres y mayores subvenciones públicas para las facturas de energía y los billetes de transporte público. Las primeras ya han entrado en vigor con la retirada del IVA de la factura de la luz. Lo que no se sabe es cómo financiará esos gastos extra. Quizá por eso mismo el coste de la deuda a diez años del Gobierno británico se incrementó tan pronto como terminó el discurso. Los inversores apuntan a que la propuesta económica de Burnham inclinará aún más el Reino Unido hacia la izquierda, con modestos aumentos del gasto público financiados mediante mayores impuestos y más endeudamiento. Pero su margen de maniobra es limitado ya que tanto la carga fiscal como la deuda pública se encuentran cerca de máximos históricos. Entretanto se prevé que la economía solo crezca un 1 % este año. Burnham ha aprovechado para rehacer el gabinete de Starmer y ponerlo a su gusto. Ha nombrado a John Healey, exsecretario de Defensa, como ministro de Hacienda en sustitución de la todopoderosa Rachel Reeves. Healey dimitió hace menos de dos meses alegando que no tenía suficiente financiación para defensa. El nombramiento de este centrista busca tranquilizar a los inversores, que temían que el puesto fuera para un candidato de izquierda más radical. A Ed Milliband le ha entregado la cartera de Exteriores, pero ha mantenido a Shabana Mahmood como ministra de Interior. Para marcar un nuevo tono político, Burnham se presenta como un outsider de clase trabajadora del norte de Inglaterra capaz de sacudir el statu quo londinense. No hay nada de eso. Estudió en Cambridge, fue ministro dos veces con Gordon Brown y alcalde de Manchester durante 9 años. Los dos grandes partidos británicos, los conservadores y los laboristas, están sufriendo en las encuestas a causa del poco crecimiento económico, la inmigración y una crisis del coste de la vida que alimenta una sensación de malestar entre los votantes, que consideran que los políticos tradicionales son incapaces de mejorar su situación. Burnham, como todos los primeros ministros recién llegados, es todavía una incógnita, pero todas las propuestas que trae ya se ensayaron en el pasado con funestas consecuencias. Para analizar su nuevo gabinete nos acompaña hoy Andrea. Estamos ambos en Inglaterra así que el tema lo estamos siguiendo muy de cerca. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

John Healey has been named Chancellor as the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, picks his top team. Healey is known most recently for resigning from Keir Starmer's cabinet over insufficient defence spending, but he also previously worked in the Treasury -- from 2002 to 2007 -- on the government's Regional Development Agencies programme. Also, the future of the UK's oil and gas industry has been a hot-topic of late, we speak to the boss of one of the largest energy firms in the country. And are you a coffee snob? Italian roaster Lavazza claims coffee drinkers are buying “less but better”.

John Healey is the Chancellor to increase defence spending to 3% of GDP, but how will he pay for it? Would war bonds do the trick? Is a cut in electricity VAT and a rise in income tax thresholds helping the right people? What will it take to build enough council houses? With the surprise appointment of former defence secretary John Healey as Burnham's new Chancellor, we look at whether he can revive the UK. Plus Robert and Steph wonder whether the hidden hand of Gordon Brown is behind Healey's appointment. The Rest is Money is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain's smart energy pioneer.

Cambio di stile e forse anche di sostanza a Downing Street: Andy Burnham, il nuovo premier, promette un «nuovo modello economico e politico» e parte in quarta con un piano per ridurre il costo della vita che presenterà già oggi. Completate le formalità di rito - il primo ministro uscente Keir Starmer ieri mattina è andato a Buckingham Palace per rassegnare le dimissioni a Re Carlo III, che poco dopo ha formalmente chiesto al neo-eletto leader laburista di formare un nuovo Governo Burnham è entrato a Downing Street come nuovo premier. Inizia quindi l era del cosiddetto Re del Nord , così chiamato per il successi ottenuti e la popolarità conquistata nei quasi dieci anni da sindaco di Manchester. Nel suo primo discorso Burnham ha detto di essere «profondamente consapevole» del fatto che è il settimo premier britannico dal 2016 e ha dichiarato di voler «mostrare al mondo che la Gran Bretagna può ritrovare la stabilità».Parlando in piedi per strada, senza podio e senza appunti in linea con la sua immagine informale e spontanea, il nuovo premier ha detto che la sua elezione rappresenta «un momento di svolta» che permetterà alla gente di «riprendere il fiato», porterà a un maggiore controllo pubblico delle risorse e a un piano di reindustrializzazione con forte sostegno per le imprese britanniche. Rivolgendosi direttamente alle persone «stanche della politica», soprattutto nelle «zone dimenticate del Paese», Burnham ha promesso un percorso decennale di progresso e miglioramento e una svolta decisiva dopo quarant anni di neoliberismo che non ha portato benefici alla gente.L'intervento di Nicole Degli Innocenti, Il Sole 24 Ore.Salari in calo del 6,6% negli ultimi 30 anni secondo l UpbDal 1990 le retribuzioni lorde sono diminuite in media del 6,6% in termini reali, «con una contrazione concentrata nella parte bassa della distribuzione». E nello stesso arco temporale, «la debole dinamica salariale è stata affiancata dalla diffusione del lavoro a tempo parziale e da una crescente segmentazione del mercato del lavoro per settore, tipologia contrattuale e qualifica, che hanno accentuato la dispersione delle retribuzioni lorde». Questa la fotografia della nota dell'Ufficio parlamentare di bilancio (Upb), intitolata «La dinamica retributiva e il ruolo dell'imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche». In questo contesto, l'Irpef ha inciso in modo sempre più rilevante nel contenere le disuguaglianze prodotte dal mercato del lavoro. Le riforme - in particolare l'introduzione del bonus Irpef nel 2014 e la riforma del 2025, che ha trasposto gli sgravi contributivi nell'imposta - hanno progressivamente ridotto il prelievo sui redditi da lavoro dipendente bassi e medi, «mentre per i redditi più elevati il carico effettivo è aumentato, soprattutto per effetto del drenaggio fiscale legato alla mancata indicizzazione dei parametri dell'imposta», ha segnalato l'Upb.Ne è conseguito un rafforzamento della capacità redistributiva: l'indice di redistribuzione è più che raddoppiato, passando da 0,028 a 0,065. Le riforma dell'Irpef spiegano circa l'80% di questo aumento: «La crescita della redistribuzione è trainata dal rafforzamento della progressività, in parte compensato dalla riduzione dell'aliquota media conseguente agli sgravi introdotti nel tempo», spiega l'Upb.Lilia Cavallari, presidente dell'Ufficio parlamentare di bilancio, è intervenuta ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni.Liste d attesa, per Agenas +1,6 mln cure nei tempi ma ancora 2,8 mln di prenotazioni «fuori»«Passo dopo passo, pur con criticità ancora presenti ma anche con risultati incoraggianti, stiamo iniziando a governare le liste d attesa con i dati, la conoscenza e il dialogo con le Regioni». A sottolineare un primo cambio di passo nella principale magagna della Sanità per i cittadini - e per il governo - è Angelo Tanese, direttore generale dell Agenzia per i servizi sanitari regionali (Agenas) cui è stata affidata dalla legge Schillaci la gestione della Piattaforma nazionale che monitora il fenomeno. E che sta iniziando a dare frutto, come certifica il primo Bollettino che dà conto di un miglioramento nei primi sei mesi di quest anno (rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2025) così come di una serie di elementi che restano ancora fortemente in chiaroscuro. Come quei 2 milioni e 811 mila prenotazioni - per essere puntuali - che le Regioni ancora erogano oltre i tempi di garanzia. Primo aspetto positivo, è che di queste - il cui numero assoluto cresce dai 2,782 milioni dell anno passato per effetto dell aumento complessivo dell attività - aumentano da 552mila a 606mila le prenotazioni effettuate con ritardi contenuti oltre il tempo massimo. Ma è solo un primo squarcio d azzurro.Il cielo decisamente più sereno è dato da quell oltre 1,6 milioni di visite ed esami in più erogate nei tempi di garanzia, seppure con differenze tra Regioni e tra prestazioni. Nel suo focus che consente di seguire mese per mese e Regione per Regione l andamento dei tempi d attesa per 14 tipologie di prime visite e 22 accertamenti diagnostici , Agenas fotografa un aumento delle prime visite erogate nei tempi da circa 5,8 mln a 6,6 con 757mila prestazioni in più nel primo semestre 2026 rispetto al 2025 e una crescita degli accertamenti diagnostici da 4,7 milioni a 5,5 mln pari a 857mila esami aggiuntivi eseguiti entro la soglia temporale massima. In tutto, 1,624 mln di cure che il Ssn è stato in grado di erogare ai cittadini rispettando la legge. Il (buon) motivo per cui Tanese parla di un trend che nel complesso «si conferma positivo» anche considerando il dato «molto positivo» dei miglioramenti sulle prestazioni con classe di priorità urgente (3 giorni) e breve (10 giorni). «La Piattaforma nazionale fornisce oggi una base informativa fondamentale e la amplieremo nel tempo inserendo altre prestazioni - è la promessa -: abbiamo costruito un sistema basato su dati che prima non erano disponibili in modo così sistematico e questo ci consente di agire in modo più mirato e tempestivo. Agenas sta lavorando con ogni singola Regione, in un rapporto di collaborazione e confronto continuo», conclude il Dg.Il commento di Angelo Tanese, Direttore Generale Agenas.

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. This segment details the rise of the New Model Army, a professionalized force led by Sir Thomas Fairfax and the committed Puritan Oliver Cromwell. Following the decisive Battle of Naseby in 1645, the King's forces were routed. Internal debates emerged over the future of the nation, notably the Putney Debates, where radical Levelers argued for manhood suffrage against Henry Ireton, who favored property-based voting. After Charles made a secret treaty with the Scots, leading to a second civil war, Ireton and other radicals concluded that the King must be tried for treason to ensure public safety. (5)1650

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. This segment introduces James I, the first monarch to rule both England and Scotland, who faced a kingdom deeply divided by religion. It details the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, an attempt by radical Catholics to destroy the political elite, which fueled a lasting anti-Catholic paranoia and a fear of "popish" tyranny. Healey explains the rise of the "middling sort," a prosperous and literate group of peasant farmers and gentry who began dominating Parliament. Beset by inflation and the high costs of a "military revolution," James struggled financially and sought to avoid expensive continental wars. (1)1840

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. Conflict intensifies between Charles I and Parliament, led by legal giant Edward Coke, who championed the Petition of Right to limit monarchical power. The segment discusses the assassination of the unpopular Buckingham by John Felton, a disgruntled soldier inspired by parliamentary grievances. To fund his reign without Parliament, Charles utilized "forced loans" and imprisoned those who refused to pay, sparking debates over habeas corpus and common law. In 1629, Charles dismissed Parliament entirely, beginning a decade of "Personal Rule" while continuing to collect controversial taxes like tonnage and poundage. (3)

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. During the Personal Rule, Charles expanded the "Ship Money" tax to inland counties, leading to a landmark legal battle over the King's right to declare emergencies without Parliament. Religious tensions peaked as Archbishop William Laud imposed high-church practices, which many saw as a "popish plot." After failing to force a new prayer book on Scotland, Charles was compelled to recall Parliament, which then executed his minister Strafford. The crisis culminated in Charles's failed attempt to arrest five MPs inside the House of Commons, forcing him to flee London to gather an army for the coming Civil War. (4)1650

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. The focus shifts to Charles I and his favorite advisor, the Duke of Buckingham. In a bizarre 1623 incident, Charles and Buckingham traveled in disguise to Madrid to secure a marriage with the Spanish Infanta, hoping to gain wealth and influence. The mission was a humiliating failure, leading to a shift toward war with Spain. James I ended his reign ill and disillusioned as his peaceful foreign policy collapsed. Upon his death in 1625, the 24-year-old Charles I inherited a massive debt of one million pounds, forcing an immediate and fractious confrontation with Parliament. (2)22642

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. In 1649, Charles I was tried and executed in public, a shocking event that horrified European monarchs. The segment explores the establishment of the Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. John Lambert drafted the Instrument of Government, England's first written constitution, which included checks and balances and religious protections for Protestants. Although Cromwell refused the crown, his rule relied on military strength and the imposition of Puritan values, such as banning Christmas celebrations. Upon Cromwell's death in 1658, his son Richard failed to maintain control, leading the nation back into political chaos. (6)2650

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. The final segment covers the reign of James II, whose open Catholicism and attempts to bypass Parliament alienated his natural Tory supporters. This tension birthed England's first political parties: the Whigs and the Tories. When James had a son, raising the prospect of a perpetual Catholic dynasty, seven leaders invited William of Orange to intervene. William landed in 1688, and James II fled, resulting in the Glorious Revolution. The era concluded with William and Mary as Protestant regents, establishing a constitutional framework that profoundly influenced the founding fathers of America. (8)1655

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. Stability was sought through the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. While some reforms remained, the new regime took grotesque revenge on the regicides, even digging up and hanging Cromwell's corpse. Charles II's reign was characterized by a vibrant court culture, the expansion of trade via the East India Company, and the growth of the British Empire. The segment also highlights the polymath Margaret Cavendish, who wrote the pioneering science-fiction work The Blazing World, reflecting the era's fascination with science and power. Despite the "jollity," the Anglican Church forcefully suppressed religious dissenters like the Quakers. (7)1650

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION After Labour's election last year, the new defence secretary, John Healey, wrote a memo to Cabinet colleagues in relation to the scandalous Afghan data leak and the subsequent cover-up of relocations. Healey stressed the need to ‘maintain control of the narrative', particularly in the wake of that summer's riots. The riots themselves were arguably fuelled by suppression of information about the Southport murderer, in an attempt to contain public reactions. The desire to control the narrative by curtailing public information has implications for the media's idealised role of telling ‘truth to power'.  Beyond super-injunctions, governments seem preoccupied with muting the widespread availability of counter-narratives on social media. Countries across Europe are introducing measures such as the UK's Online Safety Act or the EU's Digital Services Act, which are partly designed to deal with threats to the establishment narrative via suppressing what has been dubbed ‘misinformation'.  This mirrors governments' pressure on online and offline media during the Lockdown period to suppress any challenges to official, ‘consensus' health advice. However, the media stands accused of having taken it upon itself to have become more partisan in its reporting of our rapidly changing political landscape – championing a single, biased point of view, with little insight or empathy into what is driving new, popular concerns. Two recent events in America – the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the brutal stabbing of a young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska on the subway – have catalysed this sense that the mainstream media is more concerned with shaping narratives rather than reporting on them. In the case of Kirk, reaction from the mainstream media seemed to focus less on the appalling nature of the political violence or why he was so popular with millions of young people, than in communicating that Kirk was a ‘MAGA troll'.  With Zarutska, whose murder by a black repeat felon was captured on CCTV, the media ignored the story for 18 days, despite its dominance on social media. Eventually, the New York Times reported only how the case had ‘ignited a firestorm on the right', a culture-war framing echoed widely in the mainstream. In the UK, media narrative-shaping is a familiar accusation on everything from the coverage of the unexpectedly large ‘Unite the Kingdom' march to the Southport riots. Populist anger has for some time focused on the supposed bias, arrogance and aloof nature of what is dismissed as the ‘MSM'. There is fury at the way protests and movements are often described as ‘far', ‘hard', ‘extreme' or ‘ultra' right – with media outlets almost running out of adjectives to communicate the idea that these movements are thinly disguised racists. No wonder journalists have been shunned or abused when they turn up to report on events. Trust is declining. All this touches on an older debate: does the media shape or reflect reality? Anti-populist commentators regularly accuse media outlets of amplifying populist talking points, contributing to moral panics about the small boats or ‘whipping up' hate about asylum hotels. Nigel Farage's frequent appearances on BBC Question Time are seen as a key explanation for Reform's credibility, indeed for the size of the 2016 Brexit vote. Has the role of the media changed, or have different outlets always be partisan? What drives governments to control the narrative for public consumption? Is mainstream media ill-equipped to deal with the pace of political change or has it abandoned even the ideal of impartiality? Can anyone, new or old media, credibly claim to merely report events rather than try to shape them?

Send us Fan MailThe Defence Chiefs song - I'm Deluded and I'll Never QuitRussia's raising the stakes, risks crossing the line,Most dangerous time in my thirty-five-year grind.I warned them of a £28 billion hole in the ground,But here comes the DIP with fifteen — and I'll sign it down.Day-to-day funding's squeezed till the training runs dry,We'll dial back the ops, watch readiness say goodbye.I know we can't do the job with this budget so thin,But the uniform's comfy and the pension kicks in.[Chorus]I'm deluded and I'll never quit!Accepting the plan though I know it's bullshit.I could speak truth to power, walk out with my pride,But I like the position and the stars on my side.No moral courage, just comfortable lies,I'm deluded and I'll never quit — watch the forces die![Verse 2]Future tech? They say the plan fails on that score,Too much on old ships while the cutting edge is poor.I wrote to the PM, met the chiefs in the room,Expressed “deep concerns” — then swallowed the doom.Healey resigned, Carns walked, they had the spine I lack,I stay in the chair and pat the government's back.Longer conflicts coming, we're not ready at all,But I'll toast the DIP at the next NATO ball.[Verse 3]I know the men and women deserve better gear and drills,Operational pressure building, breaking iron wills.Unaffordable plan that can't be delivered right,But criticising ministers?

Britain's defence secretary, John Healey, has resigned, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to commit the resources needed to protect the nation from rising threats.

He highlighted Mr Starmer's recent warning that Russia could attack the alliance as soon as that year.Also: Iran says its ceasefire with the US is now practically meaningless after a second night of airstrikes.
