Sen brexit-omröstningen har ekonomin dalat och motsättningarna ökat. Vissa av de skräckscenarier som målades upp vid skilsmässan från EU har blivit verklighet. Andra har inte det. Vad måste Andy Burnham klara som hans föregångare misslyckats med? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Världens sjätte största ekonomiI veckan fick landet en ny premiärminister igen. Andy Burnham blir den sjunde ledaren sedan britterna röstade fram brexit för tio år sedan. Han vill införa en ny ekonomisk och politisk modell som minskar klyftorna och får ekonomin att blomstra. “Låt det här bli tillfället när framtidshoppet väcks till liv igen”, säger han.Beskrivs som “mjuk vänster””Det finns en politisk kultur av stora ord och stora planer. Många andra har lovat det han lovar”, säger ekonomijournalisten Katrine Kielos.Framförallt ska hans nya regering fokusera på att hjälpa familjer som kämpar med höga kostnader. Och det är många som har det kämpigt, säger James Savage, ansvarig utgivare på The Local. ”Många britter känner sig fattiga”. Lägre tillväxt och lägre investeringar med brexitEnligt en studie från National Bureau of Economic Research är Storbritanniens BNP 6 till 8 procent mindre än den skulle ha varit om landet stannat kvar i EU. Samtidigt har invandringen ökat – tvärtemot vad som lovades inför omröstningen. ”Invandringsfrågan är fortfarande extremt splittrande och har flera bottnar”, säger James Savage.Relationen med Sverige”Storbritannien är fortfarande en viktigt handelspartner, men det är uppenbart att landet har minskat i betydelse för svensk export”, säger Per Altenberg, chefekonom på Kommerskollegium. ”Brexit är ett bra exempel på vad som händer om man vill sluta sig, istället för att handla globalt med varandra”, säger Scanias vd Christian Levin. Men han ser en ljusning i Storbritannien nu. ekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se

When was the last time you underestimated something? As we learn fromweek 11 of our series on the book of Acts, living a life of hypocrisy is more dangerous than we realize. The good news is that God is also much bigger and closer than we realize, and He holds the keys to freedom! Pastor James Savage unpacks the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 4:32-5:11. While many assume this story is about money or generosity, it’s actually about something far more personal: hypocrisy, hidden sin and the exhausting pressure to live a double life. Have you ever felt the pressure to look like you have everything together, even when you don’t? Hypocrisy keeps us trapped in shame, but the Gospel reminds us that confession leads to freedom – because His grace is always greater than our sin. If you’ve ever struggled to be honest about what you’re carrying, this message is a reminder that you don’t have to keep pretending. The Gospel isn’t for perfect people; it’s for people willing to step into the light. Let us know in the comments what encouraged or challenged you most from this message. Or share this message with someone who needs the reminder that they’re not too far gone!

This week host James Savage and regular panelist Richard Orange record the podcast from Almedalen, the annual politics fest in Visby on the Baltic island of Gotland. They are joined for a lively politics conversation by Henrik Torehammar, a political commentator for the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper. Almedalen is sometime criticised as an event for Sweden's elites, but how elitist can any event really be in what Torehammar calls a "bicycle monarchy" famed for its flat hierarchies? Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's Moderate Party is edging towards a disastrous election if polls are to be believed. Can he pull a result out of the fire at the eleventh hour? The opposition parties look poised to snatch power. But will some pretty major ideological differences act as a stumbling block for the Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson? And what issues are likely to dominate in the run-up to the September election. Immigration? Climate? Or could the rise of AI make its presence felt on the campaign trail? Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:PoliticsWhy are Swedish politicians so silent on AI?Sweden Democrat leader takes aim at Social Democrats in key speechSweden Democrats launch retro election campaign to make 'Sweden like Sweden again'More than half of voters think Sweden's government will lose electionStay on top of the Swedish election: How to follow The Local's coverage  Become a member at https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Keir Starmer pressas efter förra veckans lokalval i Storbritannien och avgångskraven växer nu inom Labour. Samtidigt varnar premiärministern för kaos och maktvakuum om landet skulle stå utan ledare. Trots den interna kritiken från de egna leden meddelar Starmer på tisdagen att han avser fortsätta regera. Från London beskriver Nina Benner stämningsläget och trycket mot premiärministern.Så påverkas Europa av brittiskt tumultNär Storbritannien skakas av politiskt tumult igen väcks frågor om samarbetet i Europa och relationen till EU. Andreas Liljeheden i Bryssel går igenom vilka följderna kan bli för relationerna över Engelska kanalen. I Storbritannien ser samtidigt Nigel Farage ut som vinnare i nuläget och hans högerpopulistiska och invandringskritiska parti Reform UK har gått starkt framåt i opinionen de senaste åren. Därmed utmanar Reform UK det brittiska tvåpartisystemet, även om en tänkbar väg till makten för Farage är långt ifrån spikrak.Medverkande: Nina Benner, korrespondent i London.

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him… but nothing makes sense? In Acts 1:4–8, Jesus gives His disciples a confusing and even dangerous command: go back to Jerusalem, the very place that just crucified Him, and wait. No plan. No explanation. Just trust. In week two of our journey through the book of Acts, Pastor James Savage unpacks a tension we all feel: we often want clarity, but Jesus invites trust. Because every perfect plan of God isn't initiated by people – it's initiated by the Holy Spirit. This message explores the real question beneath it all: not “Do I understand Jesus?” but “Do I trust Him?” And if we're honest, many of us trust Jesus with eternity… but struggle to trust Him with our everyday lives. So what would it look like to trust Jesus with your relationships, your future, your decisions, and your identity? . . . . . . . .

We all reach moments where avoiding the question is no longer an option. In Mark 12, Jesus tells a parable that forces one unavoidable decision into the open: What are we going to do about Him? In week 35 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor James Savage breaks down the parable of the tenants and exposes a tension we all live with – the desire to control our own lives. This message challenges us to steward the gifts God has given us for His glory. It also might make us rethink all we understand about ownership and control. Tune in, take notes, and reflect on what it looks like to live with open hands and a surrendered heart. Rejecting Jesus does not change who He is. Jesus is Lord. The only question is whether He is OUR Lord. – – – – – – – – – For more info and resources on this series, visit crosspoint.tv/mark. If this message encouraged you, let us know in the comments.

Har Kung Charles och tiara-diplomati blivit ett europeiskt trumfkort för att tygla Trump? Och hur mycket makt har egentligen den brittiska kungen? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Under året har kung Charles III hunnit med att bearbeta Donald Trump, dra upp linjer för samarbeten med Frankrikes president Emmanuel Macron och visat upp överväldigande stöd för Volodomyr Zelenskyj. Kungen har haft hela tre möten med Ukrainas president, och bjudit in den amerikanske presidenten till en ovanligt påkostad statsbankett på Windsor Castle. Tidigare under året, efter Donald Trumps utspel om att göra Kanada till USA:s 51:a delstat, åkte kungen även till Kanada och höll tal i det kanadensiska parlamentet. Kung Charles, som är Kanadas statsöverhuvud, pratade om ömsesidig respekt och konstruktivt utbyte.Är den brittiska kungen mer politiskt aktiv än hans mamma var under hennes långa regenttid, eller handlar det mest om att den brittiska regeringen vill använda sin monark mer för tillfället? Var 2025 ett ovanligt bra år för det som brukar kallas “tiara-diplomati” eller ser vi början på en era där kungahusens geopolitiska makt ökar?Medverkande: Nina Benner, Londonkorrespondent.

Do you ever notice how easy it is for life to crowd out what matters most?

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Brittiska Labour har gått från en historisk jordskredsseger i valet 2024 till usla förtroendesiffror och besvärande uppgifter om interna maktstrider.

Partiets förslag till omläggning av den brittiska migrationspolitiken visar hur Labour försöker behålla kommandot i en fråga där högerpopulistiska Reform UK med stor framgång utmanar de traditionella statsbärande partierna. Samtidigt som de nya förslaget bäddar för kritik från motsatt håll. Nu väntar alla på nästa stora politiska prövning för Starmer när förslaget till ny budget ska presenteras om en vecka. Samtidigt briserar skandalen runt BBC och Trumps hot om stämning av public service-bolaget. En händelse som också plockats upp i den redan kokande brittiska inrikespolitiken.

Lokala journalister i GazaI veckan avbröt Sveriges Radio sitt samarbete med den Gazabaserade frilansjournalisten Baraa Lafi, efter ett avslöjande av stiftelsen Doku. Där framkom bland annat att hon tidigare varit inblandad i bojkottningskampanjer mot Israel, sponsrade av en högt uppsatt Hamastjänsteman.

Storbritanniens första kvinnliga premiärminister var en pionjär inom marknadsliberalism och en av landets genom tiderna mest hatade politiker. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är söndag eftermiddag, april 2013 och på radiokanalen BBC 1 presenteras veckans topplista.När programmet närmar sig listans andraplats, bryter en signal in och programledaren lämnar över till en reporter på nyhetssändningen Newsbeat som ska ge kontext åt den nya låt som oväntat brutit sig in på listan. Det har gått en vecka sedan det meddelades att landets tidigare premiärminister Margaret Thatcher avlidit av en stroke på lyxhotellet Ritz. Under veckan har en viral kampanj pågått för att få ett nummer ur musikalen Trollkarlen från Oz att nå listans förstaplats: Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead.Med sin kontroversiella politik och hårdnackade personlighet blev Margaret Thatcher, efter elva år som premiärminister, både hyllad för att ha räddat landets ekonomi med också hårt kritiserad.— Jag har inte upplevt någon politiker före eller efter henne i Storbritannien som har varit så hatad, kanske inte heller så älskad, men inte så hatad, säger James Savage som är född i Storbritannien och publisher för The Local. — Jag skulle säga att hon är en av de största ledarna under 1900-talet utifrån vad hon åstadkom. Det säger Sofia Jarl kommunstyrelses ordförande i Norrköping och Moderat. Hon har även ett porträtt av Margaret Thatcher intatuerat på armen.Enligt Sofia Jarl är Margaret Thatcher kontroversiella eftermäle även något som märks av inom hennes eget parti Moderaterna.— Det finns ju de som verkligen ser henne som en förebild, men lite hysch hysch. Det är inte alls som när vi pratar om Ronald Reagan inom partiet. Pratar man om Margaret Thatcher så blir det lite mer ‘hysch vi pratar inte om Thatcher, det gick inte så bra och så vidare'. I avsnittet medverkar:Gunnela Björk, historiker och författare,James Savage, publisher The LocalSofia Jarl, moderat kommunpolitikerI arbetet har boken Margaret Thatcher, en biografi av Gunnela Björk och Killing Thatcher av Rory Carroll varit till hjälp i researchen.Ljud från: CNN, ITV, Pathé, AFP, BBC, Sveriges Radio, Icon, CBC och TV4.
