To submit your urgent questions to Michael and Maddie, go to: spectator.co.uk/quiterightThis week on Quite right! Q&A: Could Britain see a snap election before 2029? Michael and Maddie unpack the constitutional mechanics – and explain why, despite the chaos, an early vote remains unlikely. They also turn to Labour's troubles: growing pressure on Keir Starmer, restive backbenchers, and whether Angela Rayner's sacking has boosted her chances as his successor.Plus: should the Scottish Parliament be abolished? And on a lighter note, if you won a free holiday but had to take one Labour MP, who would you choose?Produced by Oscar Edmondson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"If he feels talking about his favourite novel is politically disadvantageous, that's a sad state of affairs" - David Szalay on Keir Starmer's reading habits.--David Szalay is the winner of the 2025 Booker Prize for Fiction.He disputes claims that his novel, Flesh, is a tale of modern masculinity as reviewers have claimed. Though it certainly explores the male expression of emotion. In Flesh, Szalay's protagonist, István, navigates sexual grooming, violence and prison before rising to the ranks of the super-rich - narrating his story in economical, tightly packed sentences.Nicholas Harris met Szalay in London shortly after his win. They discuss the role of the novel, Szalay's "post-brexit" identity as a "European author", and why the Prime Minister should be reading more.LISTEN AD-FREE:

If they land they must be immediately deported.  We need to follow Denmark's lead and get tough.  How many more Women and young girls need to be raped before Starmer acts and protects Brits first?  I've had enough of the liberal hand wringing of the liberal bed wetters led by the Biased BBC and I want action.  Now the BBC has been exposed as propagandists for "the enemy" we need to support Trump in his case against them. The BBC represent all that is wrong with modern Britain thinking they are morally superior and tarring the decent silent majority of us as Far Right and ignoring our concerns for far too long.

Am Rande des Regenwalds, an der Mündung des Amazonas, findet derzeit die Weltklimakonferenz statt. Der brasilianische Präsident Lula da Silva hat extra Kreuzfahrtschiffe gechartert, um die zehntausenden Teilnehmer unterzubringen. Doch während Friedrich Merz, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron und Lula da Silva sich in Brasilien über das Klima unterhalten, finden die wirklich wichtigen Entwicklungen längst woanders statt. Und zwar in China, wo allein von Januar bis Juni diesen Jahres doppelt so viel Solarkraft verbaut wurde, wie in Deutschland in den letzten 25 Jahren. Allein im ersten Halbjahr hat China Solarkraftwerke mit einer Spitzenleistung von insgesamt gut 212 Gigawatt in Betrieb genommen. Wo steht die Welt zehn Jahre nach dem Pariser Abkommen beim Klimaschutz? Lässt sich das Allerschlimmste noch abwenden, obwohl die USA unter Donald Trump gerade ein Totalausfall sind? Schlecht läuft ohnehin vieles. Wir wollen uns vor allem auf das konzentrieren, was gut läuft beim Klimaschutz, was Mut macht.

After a wild week in No.10 Downing Street, host Patrick Baker takes listeners on a podcast tour of the famous building to find out how the hell a cobbled-together Georgian townhouse is meant to run a modern state. Patrick asks how the rabbit warren layout influences those who govern the country, for better or worse. In one of his first interviews since stepping down, former Cabinet Secretary Simon Case opens up on how the building is less-than-ideal for the demands of modern government — with problems like losing the PM all-too-common. Case argues its layout contributed to the Partygate scandal that toppled Boris Johnson. The set designer of the film “Love Actually,” Jim Clay, recounts a tour given to him by Gordon Brown so he could memorise the layout  — and commentates on Hugh Grant as he boogies down the Grand Staircase.     Jack Brown, author of “The Power of Geography at No 10,” gives a step-by-step tour, taking us inside the pokey “Den,” the prime minister's office at the heart of Downing Street.  POLITICO Political Editor Dan Bloom explains why Keir Starmer prefers working in open-plan offices — and shares some secrets from rooms you've never heard of. Beatrice Timpson, former deputy press secretary to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, shares her sympathy for those in the policy unit, seen as banished to the rafters of Number 10. And she reveals the constant battle for phone signal that rages at the heart of British power.  John McTernan, who served as political secretary to Tony Blair, reveals stories from the Number 10 flat — and sets out what the current government must do to overcome the limitations of the building.

High drama has dominated as the Chancellor signals a huge u-turn on Budget tax plans, while briefings designed to shore up Keir Starmer backfired on Number 10 in spectacular fashion. In this weekend's episode the team focus on dysfunction, paranoia and rivalry at the very top. How much trouble is the government in? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we look at the latest in claims of briefings coming out of Number 10.The prime minister's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney was not involved "directly or indirectly" in briefings against cabinet ministers and will not be leaving his job, sources have told the BBC.Some in government have blamed McSweeney for being the source of the briefings.McSweeney has not responded to calls for comment but people who have spoken to him have told the BBC: "He's done absolutely nothing wrong. He's not going anywhere."To discuss it, Adam is joined by chief political correspondent, Henry Zeffman and Tom Baldwin, former senior Labour adviser and author of ‘Keir Starmer: The Biography'.This episode of Newscast was recorded as part of our 25-hour Podcast-a-thon for Children in Need.Newscast brings you daily analysis of the latest political news stories from the BBC.

#JonGaunt #DenmarkModel #UKImmigration #MigrantCrisis #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #DeterDetainDeport Denmark has shown the world how to get control — tough rules, fast decisions, real deterrence. Their message is simple: DETER, DETAIN, DEPORT. And it works. So here's the big question: Why won't Keir Starmer copy it? Even Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has admitted she's studied Denmark's tactics, yet the UK Government still refuses to take the same tough stance. Meanwhile the numbers keep rising… Communities are under strain… Hotel use is sparking tension everywhere… And the system looks more unsustainable every week. Is the Government scared of backlash? Is Starmer held back by ideology and legal caution? Or is Westminster simply avoiding the tough decisions Denmark was willing to make? Jon Gaunt goes live to break down: What Denmark is doing that Britain won't Why their tough migrant model works What Shabana Mahmood really said about Denmark's system Why the Starmer Government is hesitating The growing pressure on councils, communities and hotels Whether the UK is heading for a breaking point And whether it's time for a real deterrent strategy in Britain No spin.

A lot to digest since this week's main episode. I discuss Keir Starmer 'stabbing himself in the front' by letting his own paranoia give Wes Streeting to demonstrate he might be a better option (funnier at least).

For a special crossover episode with the Democracy Works podcast, Jenna Spinelle talks with Jason. They discuss the state of democracy around the world and why making America's government more like a European country might not be the solution to our current polarization that some democracy reformers hope it will be. We also contrast the current state of play in the US and UK and speculate as to why Keir Starmer has been such a disappointment and how the UK is not able to provide a model of centre-left governance to the US in the way that Jason might have hoped.

Ambitious Labour politicians might or might not be eyeing up the top job. No. 10 isn't working well. The Prime Minister is on the defensive. Here we go again.   Wes Streeting, the health secretary, is in the headlines - accused of plotting a leadership challenge against the prime minister. Streeting has dismissed the attacks as “self-defeating nonsense” and has urged Keir Starmer to sack whoever is briefing the media. So what does this all say about how Number 10 is working, or not, and what impact does this type of row have across government?   PLUS: Wes Streeting really wants to be talking about his plans for turning around NHS performance.

Nel terzo trimestre la crescita dell'area euro, pari a +0,2%, ha mostrato forti differenze tra le principali economie: +0,6% in Spagna, +0,5% in Francia e +0,4% nei Paesi Bassi, mentre Germania e Italia restano ferme. Lo rileva la Bce, sottolineando la debolezza dell'export e dell'industria manifatturiera e una crescita trainata dai servizi. Molti osservatori chiedono che la ripartenza passi attraverso riforme e una manovra che favorisca la produttività. Ignazio Visco, governatore onorario di Bankitalia, in un'intervista a La Stampa ha ricordato che la legge di Bilancio serve a mantenere l'equilibrio dei conti, non a ridisegnare il sistema economico. Le vere priorità, secondo Visco, sono riforme strutturali, investimenti in produttività, formazione e partecipazione al lavoro, con politiche attive per sostenere occupazione femminile, giovanile e integrazione degli immigrati, in un Paese che nei prossimi 25 anni perderà sette milioni di persone in età lavorativa. Interviene Carlo Cottarelli, economista e direttore dell'Osservatorio conti pubblici italiani Università CattolicaUk, economia in frenata e partito laburista nel caosNel terzo trimestre il Pil britannico cresce solo dello 0,1%, in calo rispetto allo 0,3% del trimestre precedente e sotto le attese. Il rallentamento rappresenta un problema per il governo laburista di Keir Starmer, alla vigilia della manovra d'autunno del 26 novembre, già contestata per l'aumento delle tasse e i tagli alla spesa. A pesare sui conti è soprattutto il crollo della produzione automobilistica: a settembre -28,6%, il dato peggiore dal 2020, legato anche a un cyber attacco che ha costretto Jaguar Land Rover a fermare per cinque settimane la produzione. La produzione di auto è scesa a 51 mila unità, il livello più basso dal 1952. La cancelliera dello Scacchiere Rachel Reeves ha promesso una manovra per rafforzare l'economia, ma il governo è in crisi di consensi, con disoccupazione al 5%, debito elevato e inflazione ancora alta. Intanto il Partito laburista scende nei sondaggi fino al quarto posto, alimentando voci di sfide interne alla leadership di Starmer. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Scaturro, Il Sole 24 Ore LondraL'Ecofin tassa i pacchi low cost: passo avanti contro l'ultra fast fashionL'Ecofin ha approvato l'abolizione delle esenzioni dai dazi per i pacchi extra-Ue di valore inferiore a 150 euro, misura che entrerà in vigore nel 2026, anticipando la data originaria del 2028. Italia e Francia, principali promotrici, la considerano un passo avanti contro la concorrenza sleale delle piattaforme di ultra fast fashion come Shein e Temu. La Commissione europea stima che oltre il 90% dei 4,6 miliardi di pacchi di basso valore arrivati in Europa nel 2024 provenga dalla Cina, in forte aumento rispetto ai 2,4 miliardi del 2023. L'obiettivo è riportare equità e sostenibilità nel settore moda, con un gettito stimato di uno o due euro a pacco. L'iniziativa ha ottenuto il sostegno delle associazioni italiane di categoria: secondo Luca Sburlati, presidente di Confindustria Moda, la tassazione è essenziale per la sopravvivenza del comparto tessile e abbigliamento, mentre Carlo Capasa, presidente della Camera nazionale della moda italiana, chiede anche norme più rigide sulla pubblicità e la trasparenza dei prodotti non conformi agli standard europei. In parallelo, il Mimit prepara un pacchetto di norme nazionali contro le piattaforme extra-Ue, inclusa una possibile tassa di 2 euro sui piccoli pacchi fino a due chili. Il commento è di Adriana Cerretelli, Il Sole 24 Ore Bruxelles

Twenty thousand documents from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released. Could emails referencing Donald Trump divide his loyal MAGA base? Has a No. 10 briefing warning backbenchers about a possible coup exposed a vulnerability in Keir Starmer's leadership?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comThis past week, Trump took his crusade against the free press all the way across the pond, threatening the BBC with a $1 billion lawsuit over an edit of his Jan. 6 speech. “Not only are they [the Trump administration] reshaping the media landscape in the US in their image – they're now boasting of taking down a foreign news broadcasters' leadership. A broadcast, of course, with global reach,” Owen says to Mehdi.In this episode of ‘Two Outspoken,' Mehdi and Owen meet in London to explain why the BBC is only helping Trump by “rolling over” and having their executives resign over the scandal. They also debunk claims of the BBC's leftist and pro-Palestine bias – revealing that it's actually the other way around.The two dive deep into the Labour government's dishonest portrayal of the Maccabi fan ban in Birmingham – which police have now confirmed was put in place due to “significant levels of hooliganism” from the fan base, rather than antisemitic threats from inside the UK.“Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy, the British government, as well as the British media, decided to throw Birmingham under a bus…to protect racist football hooligans from a state committing genocide,” Owen says to Mehdi.Mehdi and Owen also expose just how pro-Palestine some in Keir Starmer's cabinet used to be, with Mehdi telling Owen that they, “threw their own views under the bus for power.”Paid subscribers can watch the full interview.

Ce jeudi 13 novembre, les tensions internes au sein du Parti travailliste britannique pour contester le leadership de Keir Starmer, ont été abordées par Annalisa Cappellini dans sa chronique, dans l'émission Good Morning Business, présentée par Laure Closier, sur BFM Business. Retrouvez l'émission du lundi au vendredi et réécoutez la en podcast.

A bizarre briefing war has exploded in Westminster, with Wes Streeting accused of plotting a coup against Keir Starmer. Ed Balls and George Osborne analyse the ‘toxic culture' in Number 10: who was really behind the briefing, and has this ‘self-destructive' move inadvertently strengthened Streeting while fatally weakening the Prime Minister?Meanwhile, the BBC is in turmoil, with its Director General and Head of News resigning over the Donald Trump Panorama controversy. With George himself now tipped for the top job, the pair unpack the corporate governance collapse. And, can Donald Trump really win his $1 billion lawsuit against the British broadcaster?Finally, Ed and George turn to Donald Trump snubbing the G20 over his claims of a "genocide" in South Africa. They explore the deepening divisions in the MAGA movement over controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, and ask if this identity politics of the "woke right" is a brand that Nigel Farage is about to import to the UK.Thanks for listening.

As the fallout from the briefings against Wes Streeting rumbles on - does the PM have more issues behind the door to No10? In a tumultuous 24 hours, Keir Starmer has been forced to refer himself to the ethics advisor over the appointment of the new football regulator. Elsewhere, Sam has an exclusive on the links between a lobbying firm and Downing Street's chief of communications, Tim Allen. The duo also consider if a former Labour leader could return to the top job and whether calls from cabinet ministers and backbenchers to sack the PM's chief of staff – Morgan McSweeney – have any substance.

There's universal consensus that the briefings from Number 10, warning of a leadership challenge from Wes Streeting and the conduct of "feral" Labour MPs, have rebounded badly on Starmer and those involved. Yet the briefings against key Labour figures are part of a pattern under Keir Starmer's leadership… even if he is the biggest victim of these operations and is now in greater danger.

Conspiracy or cock-up? Westminster is abuzz after what appears to be a plan to decapitate Wes Streeting has spectacularly backfired. A flurry of late-night briefings designed to shore up Keir Starmer's position turned personal against the Health Secretary, suggesting he was plotting a coup in advance of the Budget and in anticipation of – what many expect will be – a poor showing at the local elections.Streeting was left to defend himself on the media round, confidently declaring he was a ‘faithful' and he also joked that he doesn't know the whereabouts of Shergar and believes the moon landings are real. There is only one clear winner from this whole debacle: Wes Streeting. Are the knives now out for the Prime Minister?Produced by Megan McElroy and Oscar Edmondson.

Starmer's allies are pointing the finger at two of his top ministers, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “leadership manoeuvres”. But Streeting flat out denied he had any such plans during his media rounds, saying he was ‘a Faithful' in reference to the BBC series The Traitors.Camilla and Tim are joined by our Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to ‘uncloak' the rumours, the rivalries and the truth behind Labour's latest psychodrama.We want to hear from you!
