June 18, 2026 | Discussing How The US Open Impacted the Hamptons Real Estate Market with John HealeyIt's U.S. Open Championship week in the Hamptons, with Shinnecock Hills once again putting Southampton at the center of the golf world. And, naturally, the Hamptons know how to host — even at this scale. This week, we are joined by returning guest and veteran Hamptons real estate agent John Healey for a timely conversation on the U.S. Open, Southampton rentals, and the state of the East End real estate market.We kick off with what we're seeing on the ground in Southampton, Bridgehampton, and beyond, then get into the question everyone asked leading up to tournament week: did the U.S. Open actually send the Hamptons rental market into overdrive, or was most of that demand already locked up long before the first tee time at Shinnecock Hills?In this episode, we take a closer look at what continues to drive the Hamptons real estate market, from long-term investment confidence to the rental culture that keeps people coming back year after year.We discuss:How the Hamptons real estate market continues to hold steady despite interest rate hikes, inflation concerns, and global uncertaintyWhy the East End remains one of the most consistent long-term luxury real estate investmentsHow seasonal rentals can often turn into future buyers when agents stay connectedWhy the “experience economy” helps explain the people who happily rent in the Hamptons year after year, instead of owningIf you have ever wondered whether owning property in the Hamptons is not only a lifestyle decision but an asset you can actually live in, this conversation brings both the logic and the nuance.We also spotlight a specific Southampton Village opportunity at 220 Elm Street, including what makes a classic village property worth renovating rather than tearing down, and why location, scale, and potential still matter in a market that often favors new construction.Weekly Hamptons Real Estate Data from Saunders & Associates:32 listings went into contract, representing $126M in dollar volume, alongside 35 new listings.

The former Health Secretary reveals why he believes Keir Starmer is failing.When Wes Streeting resigned from cabinet in May, it put an end to months of speculation. The former Health Secretary does want Keir Starmer's job. Since then, the Defence Secretary, John Healey, and the Armed Forces minister, Al Carns, have both resigned over the Defence Spending plan. Keir Starmer's leadership is looking more and more precarious.Now Andy Burnham is running in the Makerfield by-election. If he becomes an MP, that could clear a way for him to contest the leadership himself.In the days leading up to the by-election, Wes Streeting came into the New Statesman studio for an extended interview with our Political Correspondent, Ethan Croft. In the conversation you're about to hear, Streeting speaks candidly about the reasons he left government, his views on Keir Starmer's leadership and what he believes Labour needs to do to reverse its ailing fortunes. He's also surprisingly complimentary about his potential rival in a future leadership contest, Andy Burnham.LISTEN AD-FREE:

De beelden gingen de wereld over: gemaskerde mannen jagen immigranten hun huizen en uit en steken die huizen in brand. Een schokkende golf van racistisch geweld in Belfast, na een gruwelijke mesaanval door een Sudanese vluchteling. Waar komt deze geweldsexplosie vandaan, en waarom lijkt Westminster er amper iets mee te willen doen? Ook in deze aflevering Weer stapt een Britse minister op. De tweede in een maand tijd die de regering van Keir Starmer verlaat, is de man op defensie John Healey. De reden: ruzie over de begroting. En: een handvol bevers lost een probleem op waar Britse ingenieurs zich al jaren op stukbijten. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

Andrew Harrison puts Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson on the spot and then our panel dig into the detail. Plus, the defence row and the resignations of John Healey and ex-Armed Forces Minister Al Carns continue to rock Labour.

La démission du ministre britannique de la Défense, John Healey, a provoqué des remous jusqu'en Australie et ravivé les interrogations sur l'avenir du pacte AUKUS. Après avoir accusé le gouvernement de Keir Starmer de ne pas financer suffisamment la défense, M. Healey a quitté ses fonctions, entraînant l'annulation d'une rencontre prévue avec le ministre australien de la Défense, Richard Marles.

With a week to go until Makerfield heads to the polls in what may turn out to be the most consequential by-election in British history, host Lucy Fisher, northern England correspondent Jen Williams and deputy political editor Jim Pickard are on the ground hearing from voters in the seat. Polls and bookmakers confidently predict an Andy Burnham victory but they discuss whether that narrative is too neat and what issues are really shaping voters' choices. The result could determine not just who represents Makerfield, but also the future of the country if Burnham wins and successfully challenges Sir Keir Starmer for the premiership. Plus, they weigh up the shock resignation of defence secretary John Healey who has blasted Starmer's government for being “unwilling” to commit sufficient resources to protecting the country.Follow: Lucy @LOS_Fisher or @lucyfisher.ft.com; Jen @JenWilliams_FT or @jenwilliamsft.bskyb.social; Jim on @PickardJE or @pickardje.bskyb.socialWant more?

A second defence minister has resigned in protest at Keir Starmer's failure to fund Britain's armed forces. Al Carns, a former Royal Marines colonel, has followed John Healey out of the Ministry of Defence, warning that the government is letting down those in uniform – and taking aim at both the defence investment plan and Labour's handling of Northern Ireland veterans.Starmer has now appointed Dan Jarvis as Defence Secretary, but the brief increasingly looks like a poisoned chalice.

The resignation of Britain's Defence Secretary has thrown high-level talks with Australia into disarray and reignited debate about the future of the AUKUS submarine pact. John Healey quit after accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government of failing to adequately fund defence, forcing the cancellation of a planned appearance with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles. The political fallout is now being felt on both sides of the world, with critics questioning the stability of one of Australia's most ambitious defence projects.Listen to Australian and world news and follow trending topics with SBS News Podcasts.TRANSCRIPT“At six a dramatic and unexpected resignation by the defence secretary John Healey... “The shock resignation of John Healy has exposed deep divisions within the British government over defence spending.Mr Healey quit after a dispute with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over military funding, warning Britain was failing to invest enough in its armed forces at a time of growing global threats.Just hours earlier, he had been photographed jogging with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles ahead of a planned visit to Portsmouth Naval Base.That event was later cancelled after Mr Healey's resignation.The now former Defence Secretary had been publicly defending AUKUS and Britain's commitment to the submarine partnership.“I'm not going to comment on figures - the Prime Minister knows what defence and the nation needs.” The resignation has triggered a political storm in London.Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir Starmer's government is unraveling.“Keir Starmer's premiership is falling apart, his health secretary resigned two weeks ago, his defence secretary resigned at a critical time when we are facing global threats and he is doing so because the  prime minister is trying to please his back benchers by putting money into welfare instead of defence”. The developments have also intensified scrutiny of AUKUS in Australia.Peter Garrett, who is chairing a public inquiry into the submarine pact, says the timing of the resignation highlights why the project needs closer examination.“The reason we need to have the enquiry now is there has never been a public debate or even a parliamentary debate about the biggest amount of money that Australian will ever spend in its defence history, at least up to now and the fact that Mr Marles' counterpart has disappeared overnight - I mean it's a bit of a symbol really” Mr Garrett says Australia should make its own assessment of whether the deal is in the national interest.“I think our credibility is only enhanced if we apply  our own thinking as an independent sovereign nation as to what's in our best national interest, and that's the question that we're asking about AUKUS is it ultimately in our best national interest? And other nations will respect that, if we come to that view.”    The Greens have also seized on the developments.Senator David Shoebridge says Richard Marles has been left politically exposed by turmoil among Australia's AUKUS partners.“Defence minister Marles seems committed to a process of ritual global humiliation as he does a world tour of AUKUS.  Richard Marles went to Singapore and came back with 3 second hand submarines.  He then travels off to the UK for AUKUS and is met by the resignation of the UK defence minister, literally been left standing at the altar with not a nuclear sub to be seen.  You can't make this stuff up.”       The federal government has rejected suggestions the resignation will affect the submarine deal.Cabinet minister Tim Ayres says AUKUS has deep support across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and will continue regardless of changes in personnel.

He's the former Marine who served in the special forces, climbs mountains for fun, and now could hold the keys to Downing Street. Following an astonishing interview on Sky News, Al Carns quit as Armed Forces minister over doubts the long-delayed Defence Investment Plan was going to be fully funded. It was yet another blow for a prime minister still reeling from the resignation of his defence secretary John Healey earlier on Thursday. Carns, nick-named ‘Action Man' because of his military background, has already hinted at his leadership ambitions. Could he now potentially join the likes of Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting in challenging Sir Keir Starmer? Sky's Mhari Aurora is joined by political correspondent Amanda Akass to discuss Carn's career, and how likely a contender he is for the country's top job. Have you got a question?

John Healey resigns over the defence budget. Al Carns, armed forces minister follows him out and comes in to the studio to explain why. And the MenB rollout to Year 13 & university students to combat meningitis.

In the latest PRmoment Podcast news review, host Ben Smith sits down with PR heavyweights Mark Borkowski and Angie Moxham to dissect a packed agenda covering political downfalls, tech trillionaires, and sports geopolitics. Before diving in, Smith drops a crucial reminder to secure tickets for the upcoming PR in AI Masterclass, featuring an incredible lineup available both face-to-face and virtually.The Politics of War and a Leadership VacuumThe discussion kicks off with the unraveling of Keir Starmer's leadership following high-profile exits like John Healy over defence budget shortfalls. Angie Moxham delivers a scathing review, calling the exit the "last weapon of mass Starmer destruction" and the "final nail-in in Keir's coffin." She describes Starmer as a "wounded dog limping towards the exit door," concluding simply that "he's not a leader."Mark Borkowski highlights the internal party despair, noting insiders have long since "given up on Keir."Looking ahead, Moxham predicts Manchester's Andy Burnham will secure a slim win at the Makerfield election and ultimately "end up in number 10."Elon Musk and the Illusion of ValueThe panel then tackles Elon Musk's trajectory toward becoming the world's first trillionaire. Borkowski holds nothing back, blasting Musk for "interfering with British politics from the other side of the world with some really disgusting and inciting language." He strongly challenges the cultural idolization of "mega tech bros," asking if they should be viewed as examples for humanity: "I argue you're not."Moxham balances this critique with a critical lesson for comms professionals, noting Musk has "absolutely managed the art of perception to drive value in his businesses." For any CEO doubting PR's bottom-line impact, Moxham argues Musk is the ultimate proof of its power—even if he completely rewrites the rules of public accountability.The World Cup Paradox: Unity vs. GeopoliticsFinally, the conversation shifts to the upcoming North American World Cup. Moxham underscores the immense emotional and cultural stakes of the beautiful game, sharing a striking quote: "The World Cup is the only event on earth where a billion people cry at the same time. The question is... whether those are tears of joy or tears of hatred."While Borkowski notes that toxic global politics is already seeping into the tournament, he remains optimistic that great football will ultimately win out and rescue everyone from politicians to brands.Master the Future: PR in AI MasterclassAs technology and perception continue to redefine the global corporate landscape, staying ahead of the curve is non-negotiable. Head over to the PRmoment homepage to grab your tickets for the PR in AI Masterclass.

Die Britse minister van Verdediging, John Healey, het bedank en beskuldig eerste minister Keir Starmer dat hy nie die verdediging-beleggingsplan behoorlik befonds nie. Hy is die sesde minister wat die afgelope maand uit Starmer se regering bedank. Healy sê in sy bedankingsbrief die land se verdediging-beleggingsplan skiet ver te kort van wat vereis word vir die verdediging van Brittanje in hierdie gevaarlike tyd. Die Britse minister vir gewapende magte Allistair Carns sê daar is groot uitdagings om veiligheid vir Britte te verseker.

The instinctively loyal John Healey has resigned over the level of defence spending about to be announced - what will be the impact on Keir Starmer's fragile leadership? And how will resources be found to pay for defence and other creaking public services?Plus, we are in an era of multi-party politics, and the new battles between parties are already having a big impact on elections and by-elections. But how big are the differences between the parties on the right,and indeed those on the left?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 438-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,588 on turnover of $22.6-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Thursday, as investors reacted to another sell-off of artificial-intelligence stocks that dragged Wall Street down overnight. The loses were far less than Thursday's sharp decline, but the main board still closed lower. Taiwan slips to 42nd in Global Peace Index Taiwan ranks 42nd in terms of peacefulness in the 2026 Global Peace Index. Taiwan has an overall score of 1.751 this year and fell from 37th place in last year's report. The report is published by the global Institute for Economics and Peace and covers 163 countries. The overall score measures a country's level of peacefulness, using 23 quantitative and qualitative indicators across three domains - those being ongoing domestic and international conflict, societal safety and security, and militarization. Each indicator is weighted on a scale of 1 to 5, with lower scores indicating greater peacefulness. Although Taiwan ranks 42nd worldwide, it's listed in 9th place among the 19 Asian-Pacific countries in the report. Iceland remained the most peaceful country in the world for the 19th consecutive (連續的) year, with an overall score of 1.161, followed by New Zealand, Switzerland, Slovenia and Ireland.

The mayor of the town of Glan says 10 villages remained isolated (被孤立) mostly due to landslides.

Britain's defence secretary, John Healey, has resigned, accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to commit the resources needed to protect the nation from rising threats.

He highlighted Mr Starmer's recent warning that Russia could attack the alliance as soon as that year.Also: Iran says its ceasefire with the US is now practically meaningless after a second night of airstrikes.

Day 1,567.As Ukraine intensifies its campaign against Crimea by striking key bridges and transport links in an effort to isolate the peninsula, we examine potentially seismic political developments in London. Britain's Defence Secretary John Healey – one of Kyiv's strongest allies and a leading advocate for military rearmament – has dramatically resigned in protest over defence spending and the country's preparedness for a future conflict, triggering a crisis that could topple the Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Francis and Dom comb through Healey's damning resignation letter and consider how Kyiv will react to the news. Later, Francis explores a major new report on the risks of a sudden ceasefire in Ukraine with some of the world's leading experts.Thumbnail image shows Crimean bridge ablaze in 2022.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to:Orysia Lutsevych OBE (head of the Ukraine Forum, Chatham House)Simon Smith (chair of the steering committee, Ukraine Forum, Chatham House, and British ambassador 2012 to 2015)Keir Giles (senior consulting fellow, Russia and Eurasia Programme, Chatham House, and author Who Will Defend Europe?)John Lough (associate fellow, Chatham House, and head of foreign policy, New Eurasian Strategies Centre)Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James EnglandSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Britain's defence review is now a year old – but the government is still arguing over how to pay for it. John Healey, the (now former) defence secretary, has resigned over the failure to set out an adequate plan to meet the need to modernise our armed forces.General Sir Richard Barrons, one of the architects of the Strategic Defence Review, joins Coffee House Shots to explain why the funding row is about more than budgets. He warns that Britain's armed forces have been hollowed out after decades of cuts, that modern war is moving at the speed of AI and that Russia does not need to invade Britain to threaten daily life.Is Britain ready for the next war? What happens if America no longer comes to Europe's defence?

John Healey has resigned as Defence Secretary. In a blistering letter to the Prime Minister, he said: ‘You have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.'This comes after Keir Starmer failed even to secure the derisory sum of money he had demanded from the Treasury and the cabinet to modernise Britain's forces following the recommendations of the Strategic Defence Review. The timing is equally devastating, as Starmer is heading to the G7 summit on Monday, where he will have to face Donald Trump.So what does this mean for Starmer's premiership? Will more resignations follow – or will the missiles turn on the Treasury and Rachel Reeves's reluctance to cough up? And who will take on the poisoned chalice of the defence brief now?Noa Hoffman speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The defence secretary, John Healey, said he had "no option" but to resign over the financial settlement for the government's defence investment plan. In a letter to the Prime Minister he said that the Treasury had been "unwilling" and that Sir Keir Starmer was "unable" to provide the necessary resources to keep the country safe. In other news: for the first time, the government has published the number of NHS patients in England receiving care outside formal treatment areas; and the 2026 World Cup is due to get under way.

What does John Healey's shock resignation mean for Keir Starmer, whose position is already on the line ahead of Andy Burnham's crunch by-election in Makerfield? Who might replace Healey in one of the most important jobs in government, at one of the most dangerous moments in the UK's history? With NATO allies demanding higher spending on defence and Trump's America growing ever more unpredictable, can Britain afford a government at war with itself over military spending?

The shock resignation of defence secretary John Healey has prompted an emergency input from Ed Balls and George Osborne for this week's episode. They react to why he went, what it means for the government and how defence spending will become a bigger crunch point than it was already.In one week's time voting will open for the by-election of the century. Will Andy Burnham return to Parliament and enter Downing Street? If he does, how can he learn from not just the mistakes of Keir Starmer but previous PMs who entered mid-government. The pair examine the challenges facing the King of the North, and lay out what he must do immediately to right the ship. They then turn their focus to Burnham's biggest challenge: the economy. He says Manchesterism is the answer, but what is it? Does it work? And if it does, can it be effectively applied to the whole country? Finally, with the World Cup kicking off tonight the pair take some time to look at the interplay of politics and football. Is this the most politically charged World Cup ever? What can be expected from Donald Trump, who has a testy relationship with co-hosts Canada and Mexico? What will be the impact of Iran's participation?We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question or send a question to our social media handles:
