With problems in Parliament trying to get consensus on a withdrawal agreement, it seemed the main political parties were edging away from the centre ground. Did this leave a vacuum for a new movement? In 2019, more or less simultaneously, a new party started and a new campaign launched, both supporting a so-called People's Vote on any Brexit deal. The Independent Group - or Change UK, as they came to be known - was not without challenges. Neither was the People's Vote campaign. Eventually, the friction came to be personal. Mark Mardell speaks to the people involved about where it all went wrong. Email: worldatone@bbc.co.uk. Twitter: #BBCWATO

Shayne and Katey joined John on the phone , to discuss the band and music , including the latest track - Tell me it’s overScarlet's Way have already travelled a long way to carve out their name. From Western Australia to East Nashville, and many stops along the way, they have done some miles recently. But given their hunger to perform, this journey has a long way to go!The super-smooth duo is made up of the talented Katey Gabel (Lead Vocals) and highly regarded Shayne Savic (Guitar) and they are creating new fans at every turn. Their trademark southern, roots-inspired brand of music brings lashings of Americana, accompanied by polished overtones synonymous with modern day Nashville.Since releasing their first single No Fire, No Flames which reached #7 on the iTunes Country Charts in 2017, they have taken their music to the world. They released their second single Simple Life in 2018, accompanied by their debut music video. This video attracted over 30,000 views in just the first week and was quickly added to Foxtel’s Country Music Channel (CMC) demonstrating the group’s growing popularity. This was followed by their third single “Let the Devil In”, this seductive track went onto receive impressive radio support, staying in the AMRAP top 10 for two straight weeks.While the online and television attention is great, like all seasoned musicians, these guys do their best work live on stage. The act has been invited to play on multiple stages at Tamworth Country Music Festival and obviously made an impression. These performances opened doors to Nashville's Americana Fest and the Gympie Music Muster. Highlights of the duo’s performances include performing at the world-renowned Bluebird Café and completing a national tour performing at theatres and venues throughout New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. They also took out the Emerging Artist Showcase and performed on Main Stage in their first year at the Gympie Music Muster in 2018. They were then promptly invited back to be a part of a massive line-up in August 2019. Recently the band was awarded "Independent Group of the Year" at the 2020 WA Country Music Awards and were invited to close the Saturday night of Boyup Brook Country music festival with an electrifying set.If this is what Scarlet's Way can accomplish in such a short amount of time, what will the future bring! Aren't you curious to see what all the fuss is about?

Opposition lawmakers declared Tuesday they will work together to try to stop a departure from the European Union without an agreement, setting up a legislative challenge to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his promise to complete the divorce by Oct. 31— come what may.Some 160 lawmakers have signed a declaration pledging "to do whatever is necessary," to prevent Johnson from bypassing Parliament in his plans. Johnson's do-or-die promise has raised worries about a disorderly divorce that would see new tariffs on trade and border checks between Britain and the EU, seriously disrupting business."The Prime Minister needs to respect Parliament and understand the role of Parliament is to question and challenge the executive," the main opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said.Johnson has refused to rule out suspending Parliament, saying it was up to lawmakers to carry out the decision of the 2016 referendum to leave the EU and that the public is "yearning for a moment when Brexit comes off the front pages."But the opposition is objecting to the direction of travel. The Labour Party, the Scottish National Party, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, the Green Party and the Independent Group for Change said Johnson has shown himself "open to using anti-democratic means to force through no-deal."During a meeting Tuesday at the site where Parliament met during World War II, the lawmakers signed what they called the Church House Declaration, demanding to be heard."Shutting down Parliament would be an undemocratic outrage at such a crucial moment for our country, and a historic constitutional crisis," the declaration said. "Any attempt to prevent Parliament sitting, to force through a no-deal Brexit, will be met by strong and widespread democratic resistance."Johnson has told European Union officials it won't be possible to stop Britain's departure from the trading bloc without the removal of controversial language about a "backstop" to avoid the return of a border between EU member Ireland and Britain's Northern Ireland. He said at the close of the G-7 summit in Biarritz, France, Monday that he was "marginally more optimistic," of progress."But, remember that all statistical estimates that I give about the chances of a deal —whether they are expressed in odds of millions to one, or getting closer, or hotter or colder, or whatever — they all depend exclusively on the willingness of our friends and partners to compromise on that crucial point and to get rid of the backstop and the current withdrawal agreement," he said.Johnson last week tried to persuade the leaders of Germany and France to support his vision. They have responded by challenging Johnson to show he can come up with a better alternative, putting the onus on him to come up with the ideas.Johnson was set to speak by phone Tuesday with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who will use his first day back at work after a gallbladder operation to discuss stalled Brexit negotiations.Juncker's spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said that any proposal by Johnson would need to be "compatible with the withdrawal agreement" that the EU negotiated with his predecessor Theresa May. Johnson is insisting that the Irish border arrangement in the agreement must be removed.On Wednesday, Johnson's Europe adviser David Frost will be in Brussels for talks expected to carry on all week.Meanwhile, the Archbishop of Canterbury says he's be willing in principle to chair a citizens' forum on Brexit, but that conditions for him accepting such a role have not been met. The comment came after a group of lawmakers asked him to chair a process that would involve "a bit less shouting and a bit more listening."Brexit supporters suggest such a forum would be aimed at averting a no-deal Brexit.

In episode 101 - CUK'd and Bomb'd - Geraint @wariotifo endures a rite of passage for RP associates, recording his first episode with only Jack for company. Some major Yair news is announced, in addition to some news about the new album by RP house band 'Crazy Moose', but the best part of the episode is dedicated to The Independent Group For Change, The Independent Group, Change UK, For Change Underscore Now, The Independents, Water UK and the various other permutations of the new centrist party formed this February by former Labour MPs Mike Gapes, Chris Leslie & some other nerds, who were shortly joined by more Tories and managed to keep it together - just about - for a couple of months or so. This is the autopsy and the great grave-pissing, where we look at the failure of the CUK Party and (spoiler) conclude - unlike the Guardian's podcast on the same subject - that there is not, in fact, a big space for a new centrist movement in the political landscape.

NEW (SORT OF) RP! We forgot to upload a preview of our latest Patreon episode to SoundCloud. Fortunately, we have another episode popping up on Patreon any day now so - since we accidentally made this publicly available on Patreon anyway - we've decided to unlock our latest RP news bulletin for the masses. Original description: Jack and Yair on the political situation. Unfortunately this was recorded prior to the revelation that Mike Gapes has listened to our show (specifically, to our episode that was entirely about Mike Gapes - although presumably the cheap bastard didn't bother to subscribe here for the extended Patreon cut.) However, it's still rich with Gapesian content, taking place in the aftermath of a soft left Twitter user breaking the press embargo on the Independent Group's hilarious shadow-shadow cabinet. We also play and discuss an archival clip in which Gapes, in happier times, shares a platform with another infamous former Labour member, and reveal that we still have a soft spot for The Thick Of It, even if it is fundamentally a melt enterprise.

Welcome to this special, bonus live episode with 4 members of the newly formed Independent Group: Ann Coffey, Mike Gapes, Heidi Allen and Chuka Umunna.

We discuss the challenge posed by the Independent Group and by Tom Watson inside Labour to conventional two party-politics in Britain. Can the system hold together? If not, what might replace it? And where are the new ideas going to come from? Plus we talk about what the ERG wants on the Tory side: is it simply Boris? With Helen Thompson and Mike Kenny.Talking Points:The Independent Group is inching toward becoming a party. What will their platform be?The only thing they seem to have in common is wanting a second referendum. They’re pitching themselves as something new, but these are all career politicians.They have to show that they can win votes. But where? How did we get here? Two major drivers:The Second Referendum issue—especially after what happened with the Cooper and Brady Amendments.The Labour antisemitism issue—especially around Luciana BergerIt’s not surprising that there are major tensions in the party system at the moment that Britain is leaving the EU, but it’s also happening at the same time as a crisis in the Labour Party. What is Tom Watson up to?Watson thinks there needs to be space for the social democratic tradition within the Labour Party.This marks the end of accomodation with Corbyn and may be a bigger threat than the Independent Group.The real point of departure between Watson and Corbyn is foreign policy. The social democratic brand is in trouble around the world. But the countries where the centre left has done poorly in Europe are eurozone countries. The centre left in Britain moved to the left in response to 2008. It might be hard for Watson to distinguish himself from Corbyn on the economic front.Mentioned in this Episode:The Independent Group’s Statement of IndependenceLuciana Berger on antisemitism in the Labour PartyFurther Learning:Labour’s Fault LinesSocialism in this Country?Chris on the decline of the social democratsBig moments in the history of the Labour PartyAnd as ever, recommended reading curated by our friends at the LRB can be found here: lrb.co.uk/talking See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Awards SZN is over for another year. Capped off, as always, with The Academy Awards. And as you can see by the title. It would seem I would be angry about it all. But actually, apart from that one award, I'm very pleased with the results! For the Film/TV segment (3:06) I talk at length about the Oscars. The history makers, the "about damn time" awards and how the hell "Green Book" won Best Picture.  For the Sports segment, (49:55… Yes, I talked about the Oscars for over 45 minutes…) I talk about Zion Williamson and the overall argument about paying US College Basketball (& College Football) players. And for the Life segment, (57:37) I wanted to check in with UK Politics and, it's gotten worse. "The Independent Group", while I respect them making a stand, this is probably the worst time to make a big career move. (which it is) Kind of like how it wasn't a good time to vote on "The Exit" at the time! Funny how life works… If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly.

This episode is the second in our Brexit series, and we are joined by Lucian Ashworth, Professor of International Relations at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and author of the influential text ‘A History of International Thought’ (Routledge, 2014). Back before Christmas, in Episode 14, we heard Lee Jones offer what was perhaps not exactly a ‘Lexit’ (or ‘left exit’) position on Brexit, but nevertheless a progressive position very much in favor of a full Brexit. At the core of Jones’s arguments was, I think, the view that the EU is an essentially anti-democratic and unreformable project. The only way to address the problem, he claimed, was to restore British sovereignty. In this sense, Jones was critical not only of the deal Theresa May proposed, last December, but also the position of the Labour Party, with its now infamous six tests — that is, essentially, the idea that whatever deal the UK should pursue, it should be one that results in the “exact same benefits” as as those currently enjoyed by the UK, as a member of the Single Market, but with special additional provisions, including “fair management of migration.” Since we spoke to Jones, there have been a number of important developments, but little by way of clarity as to how the drama will end. On January 15, in the greatest parliamentary defeat of any PM in British history, the British Parliament rejected Theresa May’s deal. Since then, following the terms of the so-called Brady amendment, passed on January 29, she returned to Brussels in order to try to negotiate “alternative arrangements.” She plans now to present her new deal to Parliament on March 12, just two weeks before the deadline March 29. This is very close to the wire, but May hopes to be able to get the EU to budge on the backstop — something she must do, if she is to persuade Tory Eurosceptics to support her plan. In this episode, you will hear Ashworth engage with a number of Jones’s key points, including the 'WTO rules' issue, the importance of not overstating the power of the Far Right in Europe, and the history of reactionary politics, on the British left. But Ashworth’s core arguments stem from his concerns about the future of the Irish border, and the unacknowledged costs of a return to the fantasy of ‘the sovereign people’ — especially in an era where complex global flows of capital have made it harder and harder for the Left to leverage the state, as it pursues its mission of defending labour and democracy, from the interests of the global financial elite. Importantly, this episode with Lucian Ashworth was recorded on February 16. Due to technical issues, it wasn’t ready for broadcast until today, February 28. This delay does not significantly effect the value of the interview, since our discussion focused mainly on the historical context of Brexit, and abstract questions about globalization, and its complex consequences for our traditional models of politics and economic life. That said, it is worth mentioning that on Tuesday, February 26, Theresa May announced that, should her deal fail to pass the house, she is going to allow a vote on an extension of Article 50. The pressure is on, however, as we have also begun to see rebellion breaking out, and the creation in Parliament of a new ‘Independent Group,’ composed of rebels from both Labour and the Conservatives. Corbyn, for his part, announced his support for a second referendum — putting before the people a choice between whether to remain in the EU, or to pursue Labour’s alternative vision of a Brexit deal, which includes a permanent customs union.

MP Luciana Berger resigned from the Labour Party this week to join the newly-formed Independent Group. For years she has been the target of sustained anti-Semitic abuse, and has criticised the Labour Party's handling of the issue. One of the reasons she gave for leaving the party is that she has come to view it as "institutionally anti-Semitic”. Her resignation comes within days of her facing a vote of no-confidence in her Liverpool Wavertree constituency, which was withdrawn after a bitter row. Presenter: Becky Milligan Producer: Viv Jones, Tural Ahmedzade Editor: Penny Murphy

Backbench editors Calum Henderson and Abby King chat to Natasha Livingstone about The Independent Group and debate whether they represent a fresh start.

Phil Burton-Cartledge joins me to discuss the newly formed Independent Group, the politics of the MPs that make up the new organisation, the role of anti-semitism in the resignation of the ex-Labour contingent, and how the Labour leadership ought to respond to the creation of the group.

It was meant to be recess. So with Adam Boulton on his own recess, several Labour and Conservative MPs decided to resign from their parties to join the new Independent Group. Some blamed Brexit, others the culture with their parties. All were convinced that it's time for a change.

The new Independent Group is now the fourth largest political grouping in parliament, along with the Liberal Democrats. Jess Cobbett, a researcher for a British Labour Party Member of Parliament, joins the show.
