From the BBC World Service: The annual inflation rate in the United Kingdom clocked in higher than expected in the month of June, at 3.6%. Much of inflation's stickiness there has to do with rising food and gasoline prices. Meanwhile, U.K. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced steps to encourage people to invest in stocks and shares. Also on today's show: a look at why Cuba's labor minister has resigned and more tariff news for Indonesia and Brazil.

Before the Greeks and Romans, the Celts ruled the ancient world. They sacked Rome, invaded Greece, and conquered much of Europe, from Ireland to Turkey. Celts registered deeply on the classical imagination for a thousand years and were variously described by writers like Caesar and Livy as unruly barbarians, fearless warriors, and gracious hosts. But then, in the early Middle Ages, they vanished. In The Celts, Ian Stewart tells the story of their rediscovery during the Renaissance and their transformation over the next few centuries into one of the most popular European ancestral peoples.The Celts shows how the idea of this ancient people was recovered by scholars, honed by intellectuals, politicians, and other thinkers of various stripes, and adopted by cultural revivalists and activists as they tried to build European nations and nationalisms during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Long-forgotten, the Celts improbably came to be seen as the ancestors of most western Europeans—and as a pillar of modern national identity in Britain, Ireland, and France.Based on new research conducted across Europe and in the United States, The Celts reveals when and how we came to call much of Europe “Celtic,” why this idea mattered in the past, and why it still matters today, as the tide of nationalism is once again on the rise. Ian Stewart is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris. His work has focused particularly on ideas of language, nation, and race in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Britain, Ireland, and Europe. He has also written at length on the late Scottish Enlightenment and is the co-editor of Adam Ferguson's Later Writings: New Letters and an Essay on the French Revolution (Edinburgh University Press, 2023). Sidney Michelini is a post-doctoral researcher working on Ecology, Climate, and Violence at the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt (PRIF).

"Americans have a long history of taking British things and ballsing them up. They took football and added helmets and cheerleaders; they took ice lollies and called them popsicles; and they took James Corden and then sent him back here."Among Ashley's more unusual hyperfixations is a life-long love of professional wrestling. This special interest was first developed on Saturday afternoons at his grandparents' house watching Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and Kendo Nagasaki. It continued through the 1980s when Britain was invaded by Hulk Hogan and his colleagues from the then WWF (before they lost a court case to the World Wildlife Fund), and Ashley was fortunate enough to be in attendance at the legendary Summerslam show at Wembley Stadium in 1992, which so many British wrestlers have cited as the day that cemented their love of the grunt and grapple business. This undeniably extraordinary spectacle is sometimes called ‘sports entertainment' - for many people it is neither!When Ashley Blaker was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, one of the most significant aspects of his diagnosis is his propensity for hyperfixation in special interests, which he now realises has entirely shaped his past and which he uses to mine comedy for this new series.It's no exaggeration to say Ashley's life has been driven by obsessions. He has variously been a schoolboy with a love of Star Wars and Doctor Who, a wannabe comedian who performed on the London comedy circuit at 16, a trivia nerd who appeared on University Challenge, a history PhD candidate at Cambridge, a BBC producer of hit comedy shows including Little Britain, a fanatical football fan who saw Liverpool play across England and Europe, a strictly Orthodox Jew who went to synagogue three times a day for over ten years, a father of six, and latterly, a heavily tattooed renegade in hiding from his former community.In this series, Ashley takes a comedic look at each of his obsessions in turn, merging personal memoir with a delve into subjects which have yet to be covered in stand-up comedy shows. The result is a series which, while based on the broader topic of neurodiversity, covers it with the lightest of touches and is focused more on Ashley's individual hyperfixations, lifting the lid on many of the different worlds he's inhabited.Written and performed by Ashley Blaker co-starring Rosie Holt and Kieran HodgsonScript Editor: Steve Hall Recording engineers: Jerry Peal and Jon Calver Producer: Steve Doherty A Giddy Goat production for BBC Radio 4

A secret desire turned fatal obsession. A charming loner in London, his predatory urges hidden beneath polite conversation. Until the night he drags a young man home and everything unravels.In late 1970s London, Dennis Andrew Nilsen was a reserved Scotsman grappling with his queerness and desire lured at least twelve young men and boys into his flat under offers of companionship, shelter, or a drink. This queer‑tinged true crime podcast episode delves into a chilling gay murder case fused with necrophilia, exposing how Nilsen's internalized homophobia and complex queer identity fueled one of Britain's most disturbing unsolved LGBTQ+ mysteries. We trace the cultural shadows of homophobia, police indifference, and the lonely desperation that spiraled into ritualized killing. Each twist reminding us why revisiting queer history still holds urgent truth today.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

Former Dragons' Den investor and vitamins business owner Tej Lalvani discusses building a business worth hundreds of millions. Lalvani talks with Rob about entrepreneurship, investment and why the UK is losing ground. He explains the pharmaceutical industry's tactics, discusses his Dragons' Den wins and losses and warns about Britain's wealth exodus. Tej Lalvani REVEALS: • Why in business, constant crisis management separates entrepreneurs from those who give up. • How he negotiated an exclusive deal with Boots that saved millions and became industry recognised. • Why only 35-50% of dragons den deals agreed on TV actually complete • Why the UK is losing 11,000+ millionaires annually to places like Dubai • The current US Market Challenges for British companies • What he thinks will be the next development in vitamins and medicine BEST MOMENTS "Running a business is like putting out fires every single day. And as a former dragon, what are the glaring mistakes all startup businesses make? Fear of failure is what keeps you away from success." "We can read people a lot of the times if you're trying to fake it, it'll usually come through." "The UK has lost its chop. It's losing its competitive advantage." "You have to look at the bigger picture because it is the journey that's important, right?" "I think even if you look at platforms like social media, they've evolved so quickly."

UKPolitics #Jaguar #Deliveroo #Migrants #JonGaunt The UK is finished — and no one in power is telling you the truth. Illegal immigration is out of control. Migrants are working in the black economy while living in taxpayer-funded hotels — and companies like Deliveroo and Just Eat are turning a blind eye.  Our national identity is being sold off. Jaguar, once a symbol of British engineering, has ditched its roots and gone full woke.  And now, we let French President Macron speak in our Parliament, but Donald Trump — a close ally to Britain — is banned. What does that tell you?  Where is the outrage? Where are our values? I'm Jon Gaunt, and in this video, I'm pulling no punches. We're talking about mass immigration, corporate betrayal, political weakness, and the death of British pride.

General Sir Patrick Sanders has a stark warning: Britain must prepare for war with Russia within five years and start building bunkers and better air defences.Speaking exclusively to our Defence Editor Danielle Sheridan, the former head of the British army points to the Nordic countries and says we need to start taking a leaf out of their book.He also discusses why an Iron Dome couldn't work in the UK, his thoughts on the recent Israel-Iran war, and why he didn't encourage his son to join the army.General Sanders stood down as head of the British army last summer. The former rifleman had been tipped to be the next Chief of the Defence Staff but fell out of favour with the Government for being too outspoken about the extent of troop cuts.Our defence editor Danielle interviewed him in his garden at his home in rural Wiltshire, with his blonde Labrador Fargo by his side.You can read her write-up and see some pretty extraordinary photos of General Sanders here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/11/britain-must-prepare-for-war-with-russia-next-five-years/https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

Part 6. Order, Peace, Quiet An opinion poll in Britain found that around two-thirds of the population claimed to ‘believe in God'.  To understand the significance of this fact, further questions should have been asked: ‘which god?'; and, ‘what sort of god?' The first was necessary because of the influx of immigrants with other religions. The second was necessary because even among Christians opinions vary about the kind of God they worship. While David was preparing this series of sermons on God's multifaceted character, he hit on the idea of linking divine attributes to the letters of the alphabet, hoping thereby to make it easier for his listeners to remember them. All went well until the letter ‘X'. Whether this was dealt with satisfactorily you can to decide.

For centuries, the Barbary Corsairs captured ships and enslaved European Christians, turning the Mediterranean into a sea of fear and ransom. Backed by the rulers of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, the corsairs built vast fortunes—and even empires.

Moshoeshoe, the Basotho king who'd outwitted, outfought and outlived most of his enemies, was nearing his end. He had managed to ensure his chiefdom survived in signing the Treaty of Aliwal North with the British, who then annexed his territory. Or at least were about to but there were some loose ends to tie up before the Colonial Office signed off on the deal. One of the loose ends was the opposition from some French missionaries who took exception to the Treaty believing it was a cosy deal agreed between the British and the Boers of the Orange Free State which left Moshoeshoe's people with far less territory than they had originally claimed. The most pressing matter was food. Could the Basotho feed themselves with less arable land following the ceding of much of the Caledon valley to the Boers. David Dale Buchanan was the editor of the Witness Newspaper based in Pietermaritzburg who championed Moshoeshoe's claim for expanded sovereignty during boundary talks. Paris Evangelical Missionary Society's Francois Daumas joined Buchanana in actively lobbied the British government in London to reverse or soften the settlement terms that had been unfavorable to Moshoeshoe. Buchanan used his platform in Natal's colonial press to rally public and political support for Moshoeshoe, portraying the Basuto as deserving more just boundaries—and influenced the colonial secretary to consider Moshoeshoe's case more sympathetically. Meanwhile, Daumas took the issue straight to the corridors of British power in London, sailing to Britain in 1869. He pressed the Foreign Office and Colonial Office to reconsider the treaty's terms, hoping to secure territory that the Conventions had removed from Basotho ambit. Their joint efforts helped shape the High Commissioner's Notice of May 13, 1870, with an amendment in November 1871. This modification adjusted the Aliwal North boundary by Extending Basutoland eastward along the Caledon River to its true headwaters, and Restoring territory around Chief Molapo that the Orange Free State had claimed. These revisions returned critical grazing land and strategic highlands to Basutoland. Unfortunately, as you're going to hear, Moshoeshoe wasn't around to experience the fruits of their diplomacy. So it was on a January morning in 1870 that Moshoeshoe roused himself, like a candle flickering before it went out. He was about to perform a remarkable act, almost unheard of in southern Africa tradition. In his last official duty, Moshoeshoe convened a meeting of chiefs and headmen at Thaba Bosiu, and announced he was abdicating in favour of his eldest son, Letsie. It was almost a hospital pass, because Letsie would now take over a land compressed on all sides by pressure groups, African and Colonial. It was still unclear if Basotholand would survive — having barely scraped through the previous few years, the Free State Basotho war of 1865 to 1868 had drained the country of food, and crushed much of its spirit. But it was not defeated, and emerged under Letsie, balanced on a knife-edge, now protected by the British Empire. Moshoeshoe followed up his announcement at the meeting with more orders, that when Letsie died, he should be succeeded by Motsoane who was the only child of Letsie's first wife, Senate — and Senate's father was Josepha who was the eldest son of Molapo's first wife. This was an attempt by Moshoeshoe to create cohesion but it was doomed to fail because he was unilaterally changing Basotho laws of succession. Let us turn to the final weeks of Moshoeshoe's life, marked by an unseemly rivalry between French Protestants and Catholics. It is striking how the distant quarrels of European theology left their mark on South African history.The old Basotho fox had toyed with Christianity for years. Sometimes he wore it like a borrowed coat; sometimes he tossed it aside. The French missionaries were his pawns in a diplomatic game, sometimes they attempted to make him in their own image.

In 1976, Jim Callaghan took over from Harold Wilson as leader of the Labour Party and British Prime Minister. He was a competent politician, though not an outstanding one. He did his job well, but he was far from up to taking on an adversary as forceful as the leader of the Conservative Party, Maggie Thatcher.Callaghan's was the last government of the post-war consensus, based on a belief in a generalised social democracy, seeking to provide the social services needed to ensure that everyone could count on a safety net when one was needed, and built on a foundation of Keynesian economics. Thatcher rejected both social democracy and Keynesianism, which she held responsible for the decline of Britain, militarily, economically and even morally. Her objective was to end the postwar consensus and look for a radically new type of politics (and economics).The other huge innovation she oversaw was an entirely new approach to communication in politics. Using a remarkably talented advertising agency, Saatchi and Saatchi, she and the Conservative party ran devastating campaigns against her opponents. The most famous was focused on a poster of a queue of people in front of a banner marked ‘Unemployment Office' and with the legend ‘Labour isn't working'.As well as her powerful and effective campaigning, Labour was brought low by a series of errors made by Callaghan, many of which played into her hands. It was just possible that he might have won an election in 1978, or at least done less badly, but he lacked the foresight to call it (a mistake he later acknowledged). That meant that he went through the season of strikes that came to be known as the ‘Winter of Discontent' and, instead of choosing the timing of the election himself, was forced to call one when Thatcher brought in a no confidence motion in the Commons, carried by just one vote.The subsequent election, on 3 May 1979, saw the Conservatives win a solid majority of 43. Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first woman Prime Minister. And, as we'll start to see next week, launched herself on a programme of radical change.Illustration: Rubbish piling up in the streets as a result of the municipal workers' strike of the during the 'Winter of Discontent'.

In this unique episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we speak with Adam Lee, who walked 700 miles across the United Kingdom — not alone, but with a donkey named Martin. What began as a quest to avoid carrying a heavy backpack turned into an unforgettable journey filled with encounters, laughter, and life lessons. Adam shares the surprising reasons he brought a donkey, how the pair traveled from Cape Wrath in Scotland to Portland Bill on England's southern coast, and how walking slowly, and with an animal, transformed the way strangers interacted with him. From finding wild campsites to managing Martin's grazing schedule, this is a story of simplicity, connection, and self-reliance. Along the way, Adam shares insights from other major adventures across Latin America, the Pamir Highway, and Scotland — and reveals his dream trek from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.   To learn more, visit:   https://adamwalks.wordpress.com/ https://www.instagram.com/adamswalks/   About Us

Dublin is a beautiful city that straddles the River Liffey, famous as the home of Guinness and the National Leprechaun Museum. What you might not expect from the Irish capital is a series of Dublin ghost stories. Though why not? The city enjoys a millennium of history, including Viking settlement, economic hardship caused by the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the fight for independence from Britain. Of course there would be ghost stories! For much of this article, I followed the legends related by Dave Walsh in Haunted Dublin, though where I could, I did a little digging of my own. But enough of the preamble. Let's explore some Dublin ghost stories in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Then, in Gods and Monsters, a troublesome spirit is going to get into a battle of wits with a farmer. Source: Arthurian Legend

Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who became notorious for his involvement in a high-profile sex trafficking ring. Born on January 20, 1953, Epstein worked as a financier and was well-connected with various influential individuals, including politicians, business tycoons, and celebrities.Epstein's activities came to light in the early 2000s when he was investigated by law enforcement agencies for allegedly sexually exploiting underage girls. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida and was sentenced to 18 months in jail. However, he served only 13 months and was granted a controversial work release program.Epstein's case gained renewed attention in 2019 when he was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors. The indictment accused him of operating a vast network that recruited underage girls for sexual exploitation, with incidents alleged to have taken place in his luxurious residences in New York, Florida, and other locations.Epstein's connections to powerful figures, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew, and numerous other prominent individuals, raised significant concerns and led to widespread speculation about the extent of his activities and potential co-conspirators.Before he could stand trial for the federal charges, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City on August 10, 2019. The official cause of death was ruled as suicide by hanging, but his death sparked numerous conspiracy theories and allegations of foul play due to the high-profile nature of the case and the potential implications for those connected to Epstein.Epstein's death did not bring an end to the investigations surrounding his activities. Civil lawsuits against his estate, filed by numerous victims, continued, aiming to seek justice and financial compensation.Furthermore, government agencies and law enforcement authorities continued their efforts to uncover the extent of his sex trafficking ring and any possible co-conspirators involved.The case of Jeffrey Epstein remains a subject of public interest and scrutiny, highlighting the issue of sex trafficking and the abuse of power. It exposed the vulnerabilities of the justice system and raised questions about the influence of wealth and privilege.As the lawsuit between JP Morgan, Jes Staley and The USVI continues to roll on, I think it's important to look at the USVI and their behavior during the time Jeffrey Epstein was a resident there and in this episode that is exactly what we do and we are asking the question:Why didn't the USVI do more to stop Jeffrey Epstein?(commercial at 13:02)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:On Epstein's ‘Little St. Jeff's' island, a hideaway where money bought influence | The StarBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
