Kirsty McNeill is a new Labour MP but certainly not new to the Labour movement. She is perhaps best known for hr time working as an advisor to the Browns; firstly in Number 10 during Gordon Brown's time as Prime Minister, and later for both Gordon and Sarah Brown on their charity projects. Following her experience working on a number of non-executive board, including at the IPPR and Our Scottish Future, she unseated the SNP in the seat of Midlothian. Currently serving in the Scotland Office, she was one of the first MPs of the new intake to be awarded roles in government.  On the podcast, Kirsty talks to Katy Balls about growing up in an SNP-supporting family, her training as a debater and how activism and advocacy led her into politics. She also provides her reflections on 2014 Scottish referendum having worked on the campaign, how Scottish and Labour politics have changed over the past few years, and her priorities for the new Labour government.

Die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, IPPR, se jongste blog beklemtoon korrupsierisiko's in die groenwaterstofsektor, en let op die afwesigheid van deursigtigheidbesprekings by die onlangse Groenwaterstofberaad. Ten spyte van vorige skandale soos die Fishrot- en SME Bank-sake, is daar 'n gebrek aan deursigtigheid in projekdokumente, finansiering en grondtoekenning, sowel as kommer oor onvoldoende gemeenskapskonsultasie en begunstiging. Om korrupsie te voorkom, beveel die blog aan dat die beginsels van die deursigtigheidsinisiatief vir ontginningsnywerhede aangeneem word, wat deursigtigheid in kontrakte, eienaarskap, belasting en gemeenskapsimpakverslaggewing bevorder. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gepraat met Graham Hopwood, die instituut se direkteur, wat uitbrei.

 Rachel Reeves has told the House of Commons in her first major speech as Chancellor that the Conservatives covered up the full extent of the UK's budget deficit and that since taking office, Labour has discovered a £22 billion black hole in the nation's finances. She says some unfunded projects will be scrapped altogether, including a road tunnel under Stonehenge; while millions of pensioners will miss out on winter fuel payments which are to become means tested.    Teachers and NHS workers are to receive a 5.5% pay rise; prison and police officer will get an uplift too, while junior doctors have been offered a backdated 22% increase which is – according to Reeves' predecessor Jeremy Hunt – one of the reasons for the budget gap that she has discovered.   Is Reeves paving the way for prosperity? Or austerity? Adrian Goldberg hears from Dr Lydia Prieg, Head of Economics at the New Economics Foundation; and Pranesh Narayanan, a research fellow at the IPPR think tank.   Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg for Byline Audio.

Die Internasionale Monetêre Fonds het aanbeveel dat Namibië alle petroleumooreenkomste tussen die regering en oliemaatskappye openbaar maak. Volgens die fonds se hoëvlak-opsommingsverslag oor tegniese bystand sal dit help om korrupsie in die sektor te voorkom. Die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, IPPR, het dieselfde aanbevelings gemaak en ook dat Namibië by die Extraction Industry Transparency Initiative moet aansluit. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Graham Hopwood, direkteur van die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, wat die noodsaaklikheid van deursigtigheid beklemtoon.

Voorbereidings vir vanjaar se presidents- en Nasionale Vergadering-verkiesing is in volle swang, met die Verkiesingskommissie van Namibië se kiesersregistrasie-veldtog wat tot 1 Augustus duur. Namibiërs van stemgeregtigde ouderdom word aangemoedig om te registreer om aan November se verkiesings deel te neem. Die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, IPPR, waarsku dat tensy jongmense oorreed kan word om in die politiek belang te stel, daar waarskynlik 'n lae verkiesingsopkoms sal wees. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die bestuurskenner, dr. Marius Kudumo, gesels oor watter eienskappe die jeug na moet kyk wanneer hulle gaan stem.

Die Tender Bulletin berig dat die Sentrale Verkrygingsraad uitdagings beleef in sy rol om toesig te hou oor openbare sektor-tenders. Dit word dikwels oorgesien ten gunste van ander entiteite vir hoëwaarde-kontrakte. In die fiskale jaar 2023/2024 het hy kontrakte van slegs 8 miljard Namibiese dollar toegeken. Die aanstelling van Lucia Kazetjikuria as direkteur van die raad het ook omstredenheid ontlok. Kritici beweer dit is 'n voorbeeld van staatskaping, waar politieke figure onbehoorlike invloed op openbare instellings uitoefen. Die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, IPPR, sê die kabinet moet nie betrokke wees by die aanstelling van die raad se uitvoerende hoof nie. Die instituut se navorser Frederico Links lewer kommentaar.

Namibiërs berei voor vir die verkiesing van 27 November te midde van 'n oplewing in disinformasie op sosiale media. 'n Algemene taktiek wat deur propagandiste gebruik word is om betroubare nuusbronne na te boots, met die doel om geloofwaardig en legitiem voor te kom. 'n Voorbeeld in Namibië is "The Windhoek Times," 'n sosiale media-bladsy wat homself as 'n betroubare nuuskantoor voordoen. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het 'n onderhoud met Frederico Links van die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, IPPR, gevoer oor hoe Namibiërs disinformasie en fopnuus wat op sosiale media sirkuleer in die aanloop tot die verkiesing kan hanteer.

Die regering moet nog besluit of hy by die deursigtigheidsinisiatief vir ontginningsnywerhede, of Eiti, gaan aansluit. Dit is te midde van oproepe van die burgerlike samelewing wat sê Eiti-lidmaatskap is van kardinale belang om die land se nuutgevonde olie- en gasreserwes teen korrupsie te beskerm. Belanghebbendes in die ontginningsbedryf het aanbevelings gemaak aan myne-minister Tom Alweendo, wat na verwagting binnekort sy besluit aan die parlement sal voorlê. Sedert Namibië se olie-ontdekkings in 2022, het die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, IPPR, die leiding geneem in pogings vir die land om by Eiti aan te sluit. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Graham Hopwood, die instituut se direkteur, oor die belangrikheid daarvan om by Eiti aan te sluit.

After five more people died in the Channel attempting to cross to the UK – one of them a seven year old girl – Adrian Goldberg asks if the government's Rwanda scheme is a humane response, and whether it will be effective.   Rishi Sunak made it an article of faith to push the Rwanda Bill through parliament despite previous objections by the European Court of Human Rights .   Migrants who arrive in the UK by boat will henceforth risk being sent to the East African state to have their asylum claims processed and even if they are successful, they won't be allowed to return to the UK. 52,000 people are currently eligible for deportation under the plan, but more legal challenges can be expected.

A report from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) reveals that nearly 8 million jobs in the UK are at risk of being lost due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), with women, younger workers, and those on lower wages most vulnerable. The report warns that entry level, part-time, and administrative roles are particularly susceptible to automation, as AI technology rapidly develops. The IPPR estimates that currently 11% of tasks across various job sectors are at risk of being replaced by AI, but this could rise to 59% in the future. The thinktank urges government, employers, and unions to take action to prevent a "jobs apocalypse." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

Westminster is abuzz with speculation about tax cuts after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he's shifting his attention from inflation to the tax burden. There's also another economic reality that's been troubling the government since they took office: Britain's labour market malaise.

The NHS is 75, but it's birthday that comes with warnings that the institution – like many of the people it serves – is showing signs of ageing badly. The Health Service is arguably a victim of its own success with people genera living longer than in previous generations, but with conditions that require long term care – including dementia, diabetes and heart disease. A combination of austerity and the pandemic has left waiting lists for non-emergency operations at record levels – so too is health inequality, which means that a men in parts of Blackpool die on average 17 years earlier than their counterparts in posh areas of London.
