What's going on inside Labour? After the prime minister's recent u-turn on winter fuel allowance, a previously fixed policy, and hints of more u-turns to come, it's becoming less and less clear what Labour are offering.A leaked memo implying divisions and unhappiness at the direction of travel means some in the party may be looking at deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, as credible opposition to Keir Starmer. She might also be better placed to take on Nigel Farage. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

UK Economic Stagnation AnalysisNick Cohen @NickCohen4 talks to Simon Nixon @Simon_Nixon discussed the UK's economic stagnation since 2008, highlighting the impact of financial sector reliance, austerity policies, and Brexit. They analysed Keir Starmer's recent EU trade deal, noting modest improvements but emphasising its limited impact on addressing broader economic challenges. Simon suggested that deeper EU integration could yield greater economic benefits, while Andrew questioned whether rejoining the EU would be politically feasible.Businesses Navigate Political Party ChallengesNick Cohen & Simon Nixon discuss the challenges businesses face in aligning with political parties, particularly the Conservative Party, due to its current opposition to policies beneficial for business, such as the Brexit deal and trade agreements with India. They noted that businesses may seek alternatives to advance their agendas, given the presence of multiple parties in the political landscape. Simon highlighted the economic impact of the recent National Insurance rise, which was implemented to fund social care but has been met with skepticism and uncertainty about its long-term effects on employment and inflation.Economic Policy Challenges and SolutionsSimon and Nick discussed the challenges of economic policy, particularly the reliance on low tax rates and central banks to stimulate growth. They agreed that raising taxes is necessary to reduce debt and ease pressure on central banks, as seen in both the UK and US.Economic Challenges in UK and USThe discussion focused on the economic challenges facing both the UK and the US, with Simon Nixon highlighting how Liz Truss's fiscal policies have left limited room for manoeuver before requiring tax increases or spending cuts. Nixon compared the US situation under Donald Trump, noting that while Trump's tax cuts were temporary, his administration is now pushing through a budget that would increase the deficit by $3.3 trillion over the next decade, primarily to prevent tax rates from rising.Global Economic Challenges and ReformsSimon discussed the global economic challenges facing various countries, including Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, emphasising that no country has a perfect solution. He highlighted the impact of technology, particularly AI, on employment and the need for bold administrative reforms to improve state management. Simon also touched on the Labour Party's sudden rise to power and the lack of comprehensive plans upon taking office, noting the difficulty of implementing significant reforms while in government.Read all about!Simon Nixon's Substack column Wealth of Nations is one of the best and most insightful reads on economics and finance.

Tá sé fógartha ag ceannaire gnóthaí daonnúla na Náisiún Aontaithe, Stephen Fletcher, go bhféadfadh 14,000 páiste bás a fháil mura gcuirtear bia ar fáil dóibh láithreach. In ainneoin cáineadh forleathan ón bpobal idirnáisiúnta, níor cheadaigh Iosrael ach naoi leoraí cúnaimh isteach i nGaza, cé go bhfuil níos mó ná 2.3 milliún duine ocrach le beagnach trí mhí. I dteachtaireacht físe ar na meáin shóisialta, dúirt Príomh-aire Iosrael, Benjamin Netanyahu, go bhfuil Iosrael chun smacht a fháil ar Gaza ar fad. Mar gheall ar an ngéarchéim atá ag dul in olcas, cháin Príomh-aire na Ríochta Aontaithe, Keir Starmer, Iosrael agus é ag labhairt os comhair na parlaiminte níos luaithe sa tseachtain. Bíodh sin mar atá, sheachain sé úsáid a bhaint as na focail ‘glanadh eitneach' nó ‘cinedhíothú', agus níor gheall sé ach oiread go stopfadh sé ag díol arm le hIosrael.Tá fáilte curtha ag Gaeilgeoirí i dTuaisceart na hÉireann roimh an gcinneadh tuairim is 100 comhartha dhátheangacha a chur suas i gContae an Dúin agus i gContae Ard Mhacha.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open the show with Donald Trump's Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, where the US President accused his guest of genocide against white farmers. Was this an open display of racism in the White House? And why has the public reaction to this been so muted? Rudyard and Janice agree that Trump - right out of an authoritarian playbook - has created a permissive structure that allows for the breakdown of societal norms and civility. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to Canada where Mark Carney released a statement with Keir Starmer and Emanuel Macron criticizing Israel's withholding humanitarian aid to Gaza and threatening consequences should Israel not change course. Most notable here is that the statement did not align with US policy, showing that Canada is moving away from America and building stronger relationships with European allies. And finally, Janice and Rudyard wonder: How are changing demographics within these countries - Canada, France, and the UK - informing policy towards Israel, Gaza, and Palestinian statehood?

After sustained speculation and a local elections drubbing, Keir Starmer announced today at PMQs that the government will be softening their policy on winter fuel. Whilst it won't come into effect for some time, they have agreed to ensure that ‘more pensioners are eligible for winter fuel payment.'  This comes hours after a memo was mysteriously leaked to the Telegraph. It contains an extensive list of recommendations from Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner to the Treasury, including a set of eight tax rises such as reinstating the pensions lifetime allowance and altering dividend taxes. This amounts to a direct challenge to Rachel Reeves's fiscal approach and preference for spending cuts. The bigger story, of course, is what this says about feelings within Labour – it's clearly not a happy family. Sources suggest that Angela Rayner is uneasy with the direction of travel in the Treasury and speaks for a silent majority in the Labour party who are fed up with defending controversial measures such as winter fuel. So who leaked this memo? Could Rayner be leading a mutiny? And will the U-turn on winter fuel placate the rebels?  Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman.

There's widespread alarm over the terms of the ‘reset' deal with the European Union and the huge concessions that he made. At a press conference alongside European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer says he is ‘moving on' from ‘Brexit battles', and that this deal will put Britain ‘back on the world stage'.

"Lucy Connolly: Political Prisoner or Racist?" LucyConnolly #PoliticalPrisoner #FreeSpeech #KeirStarmer #SouthportMurders Lucy Connolly lost her appeal today. She's now serving a 31-month sentence for a single offensive tweet—a tweet she deleted just three hours after posting it, during the emotional fallout of the Southport murders. Her defence argued she was traumatised, both by the brutal incident and by the loss of her own child. The controversial tweet allegedly incited anger and contributed to riots near a migrant hotel. With limited legal support, Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty, advised by a duty lawyer to accept a lesser sentence. But was justice really served? Many now claim she was used as a political example—a warning to others. Meanwhile, it's been revealed that Keir Starmer may have withheld information about Axel Rudakubana, the man behind the Southport killings—information that could have helped prevent the riots. In a time when the UK faces a prison overcrowding crisis, and more dangerous offenders are being released early, the case raises serious questions: • Is Lucy Connolly a political prisoner or simply being held accountable? • Is there a two-tier justice system in Britain? • Who should police public speech—the courts, or the police?

La Mesa Internacional con Susana Mangana, Leo Harari y Gonzalo Pérez del Castillo. *** Desde la salida oficial del Reino Unido de la Unión Europea (UE), en 2020, las relaciones entre ambas partes han estado marcadas por la incertidumbre, los desacuerdos y una lenta reconstrucción de la confianza mutua. Sin embargo, este lunes 19 de mayo la primera cumbre bilateral post-Brexit concluyó con un acuerdo importante que abarca áreas clave como la pesca, el comercio, la defensa y la movilidad juvenil. En un contexto geopolítico cada vez más complejo, el texto busca respuestas a desafíos comunes, desde la seguridad europea hasta el desarrollo económico. Este nuevo entendimiento no solo procura reducir tensiones acumuladas durante años, sino también abrir una etapa de cooperación más estable y pragmática. Eso fue lo que destacó el primer ministro británico, Keir Starmer, anfitrión de la runión… "Esta es la primera cumbre entre el Reino Unido y la Unión Europea, y marca el inicio de una nueva era en nuestra relación. Los documentos que tenemos hoy ante nosotros representan un paquete sólido que beneficiará a todos nuestros pueblos". Starmer descartó que el Reino Unido vuelva a formar parte de la unión aduanera y el mercado único de la UE pero resaltó que está de acuerdo en alinearse con la UE en materia de alimentos y productos agrícolas. ¿Qué implica este acuerdo? ¿Cómo puede repercutir en un contexto de alerta por conflictos como el de Ucrania y Rusia?

As EU leaders arrive in London for a summit hosted by Keir Starmer, there has been an announcement that the UK and EU have reached a deal. The UK has extended its agreement on EU fishing boats in British waters, while in return fewer checks on British food exports are expected. There have also been discussions about a defence pact, reduced tuition fees for EU students and access to electronic passport gates for British holiday-makers.  While we await further details, deputy political editor James Heale and director of the Centre for European Reform Charles Grant join Lucy Dunn to unpack what we know so far. Will the deal be an easy sell, or does it risk being seen as a ‘brexit betrayal'? And, does it lack ambition or is it an important first step in restoring trust between two allies? Charles points out that there are important implications: on a future US trade deal; for Northern Ireland; and, in setting precedent; while James highlights the tight-rope Labour have to walk in constructing a narrative around the deal – particularly around avoiding being seen as selling out the ‘somewheres' in favour of the ‘anywheres'.

Starmer's Brexit Surrender: No Cap, No Control, Just Open Borders for 80 Million. KeirStarmer #BrexitBetrayal #UKPolitics #ImmigrationUK #OpenBorders UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing to sign a Brexit surrender deal with the EU — a so-called “youth mobility scheme” that opens Britain's doors to millions of EU citizens. Unlike Australia's system, which caps entries at 40,000, Starmer refuses to set any limit. With over 80 million eligible young Europeans, this could be the stealth return of freedom of movement — and a betrayal of the 17 million who voted for Brexit. He says it's a "reset." Critics say it's no cap, no control, and open borders by the back door. After Labour's election spanking, Starmer claimed he “got it” on immigration. Turns out, it was all an act — another Farage impression, nothing more. Watch now as the betrayal begins.
