Are our MPs self-serving pigs?  #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #BritishSteel #CostOfLivingCrisis #MPsExpenses  Are our MPs self-serving pigs? In this explosive video, Jon Gaunt asks the tough question many Brits are thinking: Are our Members of Parliament really working for the people – or just themselves? As the political elite cry over working weekends to "save British Steel", hardworking Brits are juggling multiple jobs, battling the cost of living crisis, and pensioners are choosing between heating and eating due to slashed winter fuel payments. Britain is broken – and yet MPs get a pay rise, enjoy taxpayer-funded expenses, subsidised bars, second homes, and even claim £900 extra rent for their dog. The new Honours List looks more like a rewards-for-failure scheme.  Meanwhile, real issues like immigration, the small boats crisis, knife crime, gang violence, and the Northern Girls scandal are ignored. Is Parliament out of touch? Is this the end of political accountability?  Don't miss this no-holds-barred political rant. Subscribe now for real talk, raw truth, and fearless free speech.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Jon Hutchinson and Emma Turner are joined by Saeed Atcha MBE, social entrepreneur, charity leader, and former Social Mobility Commissioner. Saeed shares his remarkable journey from growing up in care to founding Youth Leads UK at just 15 years old, creating a platform to amplify young voices and drive social change.

Saeed reflects on the impact of mentors, the importance of resilience, and why schools must provide stability, happiness, and opportunity for all children.

Deborah Hale MBE has spent her career developing high profile global campaigns. She knows the importance of building brands, navigating complex stakeholders and making change happen by creating enhanced audience engagement.   As employers across the board struggle to resume pre-pandemic levels of organisational performance, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Deborah to hear what she has learned about creating the conditions that build loyalty and goodwill across diverse audiences. This conversation is a must-listen for any internal communicator looking to drive colleague engagement and imbue a sense of community within increasingly distributed workplaces.   Takeaways   Patience is essential in leadership and communication. Successful campaigns require thorough planning and a clear framework. Engagement is built through consistent and transparent communication. Listening to stakeholders is crucial for effective leadership. Pride in an organisation can be cultivated but not mandated. Personal touches, like handwritten notes, can significantly impact morale. Milestones should be celebrated to maintain momentum in campaigns. Campaigns can lead to movements when they resonate with the public. Cross-functional collaboration enhances the effectiveness of campaigns. Change communication must reflect the realities of employees' experiences.   About Deborah Hale MBE Deborah has a proven track record of developing high profile UK and global campaigns that achieve brand growth, awareness and audience engagement. In all her projects, her starting point is: “what is the change you want to see?” After several years spent promoting the creative industries, she became Head of International Marketing for London, in charge of positioning the capital as a centre of excellence for inward investment, tourism, education and culture. This led to her role as Producer of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays, in charge of what would become one of the UK's largest public engagement campaigns. She was awarded an MBE in the 2013 New Year's Honours List. As an independent consultant, she has worked with numerous commercial and not for profit organisations such as the Design Council, Permian Global, BBC Children in Need, and the Global Goals campaign.   Find Deborah on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-hale-mbe-370bb7/

The University of Oxford is made up of over 30 colleges and halls spread across the city centre and beyond. These colleges are at the heart of Oxford's reputation as one of the best universities in the world and make it a very special place to study and live. With the oldest colleges being over 700 years old, it is a rare occurrence for a new college to be established. In 2019, Reuben Colleges was established as the newest college at Oxford University. It is a graduate college dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary exchange within an inclusive, innovative and impact-oriented community. My guest in this episode is the first president of Reuben College.

Professor Tarassenko's work has had a major impact on the identification of deterioration in acute care and on the management of chronic disease. The system which he designed for patient monitoring in critical care was the first machine learning system to gain FDA approval (in 2008). Prior to that, Professor Tarassenko had been closely involved in the development of some of the jet engine monitoring software at the core of the Rolls-Royce TotalCare® package. This won him the Rolls-Royce Chairman's Award for Technical Innovation in 2001 and the Sir Henry Royce High Value Patent Award in 2008. Professor Tarassenko was elected to a Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2000, and to a Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2013. He has won many awards for his work, including the British Computer Society (BCS) Medal, the Silver Medal of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Engineering & Technology IT Award, among others. He was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for services to engineering in the 2012 New Year's Honours List.

The Honours list is a way of recognising people who have made achievements in public life or committed themselves to serving and helping the UK. The honours system is overseen by the Cabinet Office and the King approves the final list of recipients. There are different types of honours, such as knighthoods, damehoods, orders of the British Empire, and medals.  Anyone can nominate someone for an honour, as long as they are not a close relative or an employee. The nominations are then reviewed by independent committees of experts, who make recommendations to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister then submits a final list to the King, who has the final say. Who is on the Honours list this year? What are the different honours? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The son of a Glenbeigh man has been made a knight in the UK’s New Year’s Honours List. John Griffin founded the private cab company Addision Lee in 1975 which became the largest business of its kind in Europe. The Londoner describes his reaction to when he was first told the news to Treasa.

W/C 25th December 2023This weeks chunk of TFM does kinda have the feel of that week between Christmas & New Year about it, I have explained it away as being a bit of a hibernation moment but I guess you could say it is about being slightly disconnected from the grid.Apart from the nonsense about weights and measures I have lost touch with the world a bit this week, not even bothering to get myself worked up about the absurdity of a 49-day-car-crash of a PM putting forward an Honours List.Clearly it won't last but for now I am not in a rush to re-engage, not when there are box-sets to finish and nobody frowns on me for having. piece of coffee cake with my mid-morning brew. Bliss.Stay safe.Rest Stop - Matchbox 20 Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

Marty Wilde (born Reginald Leonard Smith) is an English singer and songwriter who was among the first generation of British pop stars to imitate American rock'n'roll. He began performing under the name Reg Patterson until he was spotted by impresario Larry Parnes who subsequently changed his name to Wilde. From mid 1958 to the end of 1959, Marty was one of the leading British rock singers, along with Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard. His backing group, the Wildcats featured Big Jim Sullivan on lead guitar, and Brian Locking and Brian Bennett (drums) who later joined The Shadows. Marty appeared regularly on TV and his fan base grew exponentially. He met and married Joyce who was one of The Vernons Girls who also appeared as TV show regulars. The courtship was highly public but, after the marriage, Wilde's popularity as a teen idol declined. Marty moved partly into all-round entertainment, appearing in musicals such as the West End production of Bye Bye Birdie and films. He enjoyed success as a songwriter in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He has written countless songs for other recording artists including Tom Jones, Status Quo, Lulu, Adam Faith, Joe Brown, The Casuals, Mac & Katie Kissoon, Kim Wilde, Roxanne Wilde, Peter Shelley, Hot Chocolate and Capricorn In the early 1970s, Marty reinvented himself, changing his music style to Glam Rock and became known as 'Zappo'. The singles he released under this name never charted and he reverted back to Marty Wilde shortly after. Later on, as songwriter and/or record producer, he masterminded a string of 1980s hits for his daughter Kim Wilde. His son, Ricki Wilde also gained some notice in the music industry, working mainly in promotion and A&R. Today Marty Wilde is 84 years old. Like many of his contemporaries, he continues to perform with nostalgia tours in the UK and beyond and is just as passionate about making music as he ever was. He was appointed MBE for Services to Popular Music in the UK 2017 New Year's Honours List and celebrates a rare feat – securing eight consecutive decades of British singer/songwriter success on the Official Singles and Albums Charts Marty joins us this week to look back over his career and regales us with many 'behind the scenes' stories. If you'd like to learn more about Marty Wilde and songs like "Endless Sleep" "Donna" and "A Teenager in Love" head for his website here I hope you enjoy Marty Wilde's lifestory.

The international response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is scaling up, with the expected provisions of ATACMS and F16s, but remains inadequate to the task of achieving a full victory and often lags dangerously behind requirements, which causes the war to be more protracted, resulting in a greater loss of life on the Ukrainian side. Russia poses a serious threat to the rules-based international order, but is the West's response insufficiently robust in defence of the values it espouses? A recent Chatham House report rang alarm bells and recommended that Western military support to Kyiv should be redoubled before it is too late. ---------- James Sherr OBE has been a senior fellow of the International Centre for Defence & Security in Tallinn since 2019. He also is an associate fellow and former head of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House (2008–11). He was a member of the Social Studies Faculty of Oxford University from 1993 to 2012; a fellow of the Conflict Studies Research Centre of the UK Ministry of Defence from 1995 to 2008; and director of studies of the Royal United Services Institute (1983–85). He has published extensively on Soviet and Russian military, security, and foreign policy, as well as energy security, the Black Sea region, and Ukraine's efforts to deal with Russia, the West, and its own domestic problems. He was awarded an OBE in the 2020 New Year's Honours List for his services to British interests overseas. ---------- LINKS: https://www.chathamhouse.org/2023/06/how-end-russias-war-ukraine ----------
