Podcasts about Keir Starmer

It's been a week that's seen Ukraine brace for a fourth winter of war as President Zelensky shores up support amid reports of a secret 28-point peace plan involving territorial concessions and military cuts — a proposal blasted by European allies — while rolling blackouts, relentless strikes, and a corruption scandal trigger calls for a no-confidence vote. In Washington, a defining moment in President Trump's second term saw a MAGA rebellion force through the release of all government and FBI files on the Epstein investigation, prompting a visibly irritable President to sign it into law while insisting it marked a victory for transparency. And in Britain, Labour unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the asylum system, with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood championing a Danish-style crackdown on so-called pull factors as critics within her own party condemned the plan as performative cruelty.

The Cabinet Office Minister, Nick Thomas-Symonds, has written several political biographies. The most recent was on Harold Wilson. What are the differences between being in power now compared with previous Labour governments? How did Wilson deal with leadership threats of the type Keir Starmer faces now? He's also responsible for the Brexit 'reset', so does he want to move closer to the EU? And what about the single market?

Ken Clarke is perhaps the archetypal political Big Beast. Elected to parliament 55 years ago, he held cabinet roles under Margaret Thatcher, John Major and David Cameron - tipped many times for No 10, and yet never quite hardline enough on Europe to convince his Tory peers that he should be their leader. Ahead of what looks certain to be an existential Budget for Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer, Lewis went to Lord Clarke's Nottingham home - to discuss the hard choices ahead, the future of this Government, Brexit, populism, and much else besidesThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

The home secretary is going hard on immigration and she's taking a lot of people with her, not least Kemi Badenoch and the Reform party.Shabana Mahmood is using her identity – as a British Asian Muslim – to prove why she understands the migration problem in the country better than most.So how extreme are her new policies, modelled on the Danish system? Can she persuade the whole Labour party that they're not going too far, when they've spent years calling Tory policies "racist"?And as a tough, plain speaking and passionate politician, is she the new Margaret Thatcher? And could she pose a threat to Keir Starmer now the Labour Party is looking beyond him as leader?Plus – Harriet thinks the chancellor will scrap the two child benefit cap entirely at next week's budget – but is that actually popular with the party? Or are Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves bending to the demands of their backbenchers?Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.

At May's UK-EU summit, Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled a new Common Understanding between the EU and the UK. The government hailed a new “deal” with the EU which included an agreement on fisheries and a joint commitment to negotiate a ‘youth experience scheme', as well as new arrangements for agriculture, emissions trading,  energy cooperation and defence.  Many of these changes will involve the UK accepting dynamic alignment, with its potential role in “decision-shaping” to be defined. Six months on, how much progress has been made? Have new stumbling blocks emerged? And now the government has started to highlight the economic consequences of Brexit, will it start to seek an even closer relationship?  To explore these questions and more, we were joined by our expert panel: Baroness Ashton, former High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and member of House of Lords and European Affairs Committee Professor Anand Menon, Director of UK in a Changing Europe Calum Miller MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Foreign Affairs) Sir Ivan Rogers, former UK Permanent Representative to the EU The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.

Nigel Farage vs Keir Starmer: Who's Public Enemy No. 1? #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #Jon Gaunt #Guardian #FaragePM #ReformUK #Jon Gaunt Nigel Farage is back in the spotlight — and under fire. After new attacks from The Guardian and Keir Starmer over comments he allegedly made at just 13 years old, the question is louder than ever: Is Farage really Public Enemy No. 1, or is he becoming the people's number one choice for Prime Minister? In today's episode, we break down:

Straitjacketed by a manifesto that promised not to raise income tax, National Insurance or VAT on “working people” – and stymied by an exodus of people wealthy enough to seek financial safety elsewhere – the Labour party is scrambling to raise enough revenue to fill a £20bn fiscal black hole.As the 2025 autumn Budget draws ever closer, there is increasing apprehension as to whether Chancellor Rachel Reeves is going to employ a “mansion tax” to help balance the books.In today's Daily T, Tim is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg and Allister Heath to preview what's set to be an “horrendous” upcoming Budget, why time is running out for both Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves and how the right needs to unite ahead of a possible early general election in 2027.Producer: Hugo Verelst-WayAdditonial production from Mikey OlympitisSenior Producer: John CadiganVideo Producer: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanSocial Producer: Nada AggourEditor: Camilla Tominey Hosted on Acast.

Join Julia Hartley-Brewer as she tears into the stories the establishment doesn't want you to think about too hard. Keir Starmer's 28-point Ukraine “peace plan” – is this surrender dressed up as diplomacy, or just another photo-op for the global elite while British taxpayers foot the bill? Putin's spy ship lurking off the British coast – why are we only hearing about it now, and what exactly is it listening to? Migrants arriving on benefits: the shocking new figures showing how the welfare state is being used as a pull factor – and why no one in government wants to admit it. Hosted on Acast.

Over in the UK, some Labour MPs claim they've got the necessary numbers to roll Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer's popularity has been declining and Reform remains a consistent threat in the polls - and there's clear mood for change. UK correspondent Enda Brady explained further.

On this week's mid-week show we look at THAT absolutely bat-shit, opposite-world press conference where Donald Trump, President Of The United States, once again sides with the murderous dictator over his own intelligence services. ALSO: what is going on with Labour? Where is this Asylum policy actually going to land Keir Starmer and more importantly the Labour Govt? AND: how have the Church responded to the woman who has exposed them for not giving a shit about and/or failing to feed a starving baby? Here are some links i really hope you click: Patreon

Neither Kemi Badenoch nor Keir Starmer performed very well at Prime Minister's Questions: both fluffed their lines early on. Badenoch managed to suggest the Budget had already happened, while Starmer got lost during an attack on Tory economic policy. But while Badenoch was back to the kind of poor delivery that had previously upset so many of her Conservative colleagues, Starmer still came off worse.The most interesting exchange was with Reform Chief Whip Lee Anderson, who goaded Starmer to ‘be a man' and ensure that all the cancelled local elections go ahead next year. This facilitated an exchange about recent allegations regarding Nigel Farage's behaviour when he was a schoolboy. Is this one going to follow the Reform leader around? And how do you actually pronounce ‘Farage'?Lucy Dunn speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

El gobierno laborista de Keir Starmer presentó este lunes la reforma más dura de la política de asilo desde la posguerra. Entre las medidas que contempla son deportaciones más rápidas, alargar de cinco a veinte años el plazo para obtener la residencia permanente, establecer un cupo anual máximo de refugiados, revisar periódicamente la seguridad de los países de origen y confiscar dinero y joyas a los solicitantes para sufragar su alojamiento y los trámites burocráticos. Además de eso, Starmer amenaza con restringir visados a países, sobre todo africanos, que se nieguen a aceptar repatriaciones. La reforma llega cuando las entradas ilegales en la Unión Europea han caído casi un 25% en el último año, pero en el Reino Unido las solicitudes de asilo superaron las 100.000 en 2024, muchas de ellas cruzando el Canal de la Mancha en pequeñas embarcaciones. El coste de alojar a unos 30.000 solicitantes en hoteles alcanzó los 2.000 millones de libras el año pasado, un gasto que ha disparado el rechazo ciudadano y el ascenso de Reform UK, el partido de Nigel Farage. Dentro del Partido Laborista la propuesta ha desatado una tormenta. Decenas de diputados de izquierda amenazan con votar en contra y esto podría provocar una gran crisis interna dentro del laborismo. El anuncio británico se inscribe en una ola de endurecimiento de la política de asilo que recorre toda Europa, y que pone en cuestión el sistema internacional de asilo tal y como se concibió en 1951. Aquel régimen nació para proteger a disidentes del bloque soviético y como respuesta moral al rechazo a los judíos en los años treinta. Setenta y cinco años después, con 1.000 millones de personas deseando emigrar y viajes muy asequibles, la figura del refugio político se utiliza como coartada para la inmigración económica. La mayoría de solicitudes se rechazan, pero los procesos duran años y permiten permanecer en el país mientras se resuelven. Los críticos señalan que acoger a los refugiados a miles de kilómetros de sus países resulta carísimo, sirve sólo a los más jóvenes y genera rechazo entre los ciudadanos del país de acogida. La historia demuestra que los desplazados por un conflicto que se refugian en países vecinos con cultura y lengua similares regresan antes cuando se acaban los problemas en su país. Un refugiado en un país vecino es mucho más barato de sostener que en Europa o Estados Unidos donde los Gobiernos tienen que asignarles viviendas sociales y subsidios. Cada vez más voces piden replantearse el modelo desde cero. Reforzar la ayuda a ACNUR y a los países de primera acogida, procesar las solicitudes en terceros países seguros (como propone Giorgia Meloni con Albania) y separar con claridad el asilo político genuino de la inmigración laboral. Europa necesita mano de obra por el envejecimiento de su población, pero debe poder decidir cuánta, de dónde y con qué perfil. Eso con el sistema actual es imposible ya que se emplea como puerta trasera para la inmigración irregular. Con el plan de Starmer y los que se están adoptando en otras partes de Europa, el debate ya no es si el actual régimen de asilo está agotado, sino cómo sustituirlo.

Wes Streeting zou zo maar eens de opvolger van Keir Starmer kunnen worden. Hij hoefde zelf niet eens zijn interesse kenbaar te maken. Het team van Starmer lekte naar de pers dat de premier iedere aanval op zijn positie door gezondheidsminister Streeting af zou slaan. En dat de avond voor Streeting, gepland, een rondje ontbijttelevisie deed. Daar kon hij met speels gemakt ontkennen dat hij er iets vanaf wist, en zich veel charismatischer en gevatter tonen dan zijn leider. Zo hadden ze het niet bedacht in 10 Downing Street. Ze wilde in één soepele beweging een tegenstander van Starmer onschadelijk maken, de positie van de premier verstevigen en de morrende backbenchers de mond snoeren. Maar het tegenovergestelde gebeurde. Starmer slaat er slechter op dan ooit, Ook in deze aflevering Het Britse gevangissysteem staat er niet goed op. Honderden veroordeelden worden onterecht vervroeg vrijgelaten. Ze terughalen levert bijzondere uitdagingen op.

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.

Backbench Labour MP Clive Lewis took to a TV studio to offer up his own Norwich seat to allow Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham a path back into Parliament and make a bid for No 10. He said his party felt "in checkmate" and that it was time to put "country before party, party before personal ambition".Is a change of leadership now a “when not if “question? Is Lewis a lone wolf? Or are the vultures now circling? Has the Labour Party started to imagine life beyond Starmer? Later, what is the corruption scandal now engulfing Ukraine - and can Zelenskyy survive it? His moves to curb the powers of the anti-corruption agency have worried EU powers.

#Starmer #Labour #UKPolitics #MigrationCrisis #Asylum #JonGaunt #LiveShow #deport  Britain is facing a political and social crisis — from the asylum and immigration system to pressure on housing and public services.  The Home Secretary's latest speech has ignited a fierce backlash, with Labour MPs describing parts of the Government's approach as "cruel" and "inhumane". A rebellion is now openly brewing inside the party. And yet… where is the Prime Minister? In tonight's live show, we ask the questions millions are wondering:  

The US president has said he plans to sue the BBC, even after getting an apology for a misleading Panorama edit of his 6 January speech. But how could he do that national broadcaster of America's greatest ally? And will the BBC cave? To find out, Jason is joined again by returning cohost, Mark Lobel. They discuss the BBC's next moves and whether Trump's lawsuit actually has any merit. Plus: they dissect a tumultuous week for Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeve's budgetary reversals, Wes Streeting's ‘leadership challenge' and what this all means for actuality of centrist leadership. And as they look to Order the Disorder, they discuss the issue of wealth inequality as today's greatest global challenge, and why radical transparency and generosity might be what's needed to fix it.

Det mullrar i den brittiska inrikespolitiken. Problemen hopar sig för Labour och partiet gör nu en skarp gir i migrationspolitiken. 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. Vad ligger bakom den snabba förändringen av den brittiska spelplanen och kommer premiärminister Keir Starmer kunna behålla greppet om regeringsmakten? 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.

Keir Starmer has announced plans for a new digital ID scheme to combat illegal working and make it easier for people to use vital government services like applying for a driving licence and accessing tax records. The government has said that digital ID will be mandatory for right to work checks by the end of this parliament. But critics argue that government has not made a clear case for digital ID, and warn that building a secure, reliable and trusted form of digital identity will be a monumental challenge to implement. So what problem – and for whom – would digital ID solve? Are the government's ambitions realistic? Is the right data and security infrastructure in place? And what could this mean for digitally excluded groups? To discuss these questions and more, we will be joined by an expert panel including: Rachel Coldicutt, Founder and Executive Director of Careful Industries Matthew Feeney, Advocacy Manager at Big Brother Watch David Normington, former Permanent Secretary at the Home Office Morgan Wild, Chief Policy Adviser at Labour Together and author of “Britcard: a progressive digital identity for Britain” The event will be chaired by Tim Durrant, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

"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. I've had enough have you? Scrap the BBC and STOP all illegal immigration.

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.

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. No filters. Live debate. Let's talk about what's really happening. #JonGaunt #DenmarkModel #UKImmigration #MigrantCrisis #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #DeterDetainDeport #MigrationDebate #AsylumSystem #ChannelCrossings #UKPoliticsLive #EuropeMigration #BorderControl #MigrantHotels Jon Gaunt, Denmark model, UK immigration, migrant crisis, Keir Starmer, Shabana Mahmood, deter detain deport, asylum system, Channel crossings, UK politics live, migration debate, border control, migrant hotels, Danish migration policy, UK government immigration This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

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). In another tricky week, growth is down and unemployment is up...I think we all know how this movie ends. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Today, there has been extensive speculation about the extent to which Sir Keir Starmer was aware of the anonymous briefings attacking potential leadership challengers in his own party. Sir Keir Starmer has insisted he has "never authorised" attacks on his cabinet ministers, calling briefings against them "unacceptable".Adam and Chris are joined by Alex Forsyth to discuss why this could be a sign of deeper problems for the Labour government, rather than just Westminster bubble gossip.Plus Adam and Alex give an update on Donald Trump's threat of legal action against the BBC, after Ed Davey questioned Keir Starmer on the matter at PMQs.

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.
