Tim Shipman is joined by Isabel Hardman to discuss the domestic fallout from the conflict in Iran – from oil prices surging past $100 a barrel to renewed pressure on Britain's cost-of-living crisis.They examine how the rising price of energy could derail Labour's economic plans, why Rachel Reeves may face difficult choices on fuel duty and support for households, and whether Keir Starmer has the political authority to navigate another economic shock ahead of the May elections.They also debate the government's new ‘cohesion strategy' – including plans for an anti-Muslim hatred adviser and a broader crackdown on extremism – and ask whether Labour has found a coherent approach to integration, immigration and social cohesion, or whether the policy risks opening new divisions within the party.Produced by Megan McElroy and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

As the U.S. escalates military operations against Iran, questions arise about the loyalty of allies—especially the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially refused access to British bases for U.S. forces, delaying support just days before missile strikes. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump asserts U.S. dominance and questions the effectiveness of NATO and the UN, emphasizing that American-built bases and personnel are at risk. The episode breaks down the geopolitical stakes, European reluctance, and what this means for U.S. global strategy. Episode Summary U.S.-UK relations are under scrutiny as the Iran conflict unfolds. Sixteen days before the first U.S. missile strikes on Iran, President Donald Trump requested access to UK bases. Keir Starmer initially refused, sparking criticism from former leaders like Tony Blair and raising existential questions about the UK's role as an ally. The refusal, analysts suggest, may be politically motivated to appease Muslim immigrant voters in Britain—a key demographic for the Labour Party. Even after agreeing to allow access, Starmer addressed immigrant groups first, seemingly prioritizing domestic politics over strategic obligations. Operational challenges compounded the issue. British forces struggled to deploy the HMS Dragon to protect UK bases in Cyprus due to shipyard scheduling limits and RAF constraints, highlighting logistical hurdles. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio emphasizes the importance of loyal allies, contrasting the U.K.'s delays with the unwavering cooperation of other nations. Critics argue this underscores the risks of relying on European partners whose domestic politics may interfere with global security. From missiles striking bases to European hesitation, the episode paints a detailed picture of how U.S. strategy depends not just on military might, but on alliances—and how fragile those alliances can be when political considerations dominate. Key Takeaways UK initially refused U.S. access to bases for Iran operations, delaying strikes. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces criticism for prioritizing domestic politics over strategic needs. U.S.-built bases and personnel remain at risk from Iranian missile strikes. The incident raises questions about NATO, UN, and the reliability of European allies. Logistical issues, like deployment of the HMS Dragon and RAF limitations, delayed defense of British interests. Senator Marco Rubio stresses the value of true allies who support U.S. operations unconditionally.

From contested UK cooperation in the Iran conflict to explosive domestic terrorism and unresolved Epstein case mysteries, today's episode dissects the chaos at home and abroad. President Donald Trump navigates allies' delays, military strategy, and geopolitical risk, while law enforcement and media misreport ISIS-inspired attacks in New York City. Plus, shocking DOJ revelations from the Epstein case highlight systemic failure. Episode Summary The United States' Iran operation sparks global and domestic controversies. The UK initially refused U.S. requests to use military bases for attacks on Iran, creating a diplomatic firestorm. Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced heavy criticism from Tony Blair and British media, reportedly prioritizing political survival and immigrant voting blocs over allied cooperation. The HMS Dragon deployment and RAF response highlight logistical delays caused by strict labor rules, raising questions about NATO and allied reliability. On the ground, the U.S. and Israel maintain overwhelming air superiority against Iran. President Donald Trump praises the campaign's effectiveness, with thousands of Iranian military targets already struck and ground invasions deemed unnecessary. Energy markets spike, but experts assert the oil price increase is temporary. Domestically, New York City faced terror threats when self-radicalized ISIS supporters targeted protests near Gracie Mansion, using IEDs packed with the volatile “Mother of Satan” explosive. Misreporting by mainstream media initially mischaracterized the attackers and their motives, obscuring the severity of the incident. Legal and political commentary highlights the disconnect between narrative framing and reality. Meanwhile, new DOJ documents on the Jeffrey Epstein case reveal suspicious behavior and cash activity by prison staff before his death, raising further questions about accountability and transparency in federal institutions. Key Takeaways UK initially resisted U.S. requests to use military bases in Iran; Starmer faces criticism from Blair and the British media. HMS Dragon and RAF responses delayed due to labor regulations; NATO reliability questioned. U.S. and Israeli air forces dominate Iranian skies; ground invasion unnecessary. Oil prices spike temporarily; short-term disruptions tied to fear, not supply shortages. ISIS-inspired IED attacks in NYC misreported by media; attackers targeted ideological opponents. DOJ files on Epstein reveal suspicious cash deposits and questionable guard behavior, sparking renewed scrutiny.

This Matts ad hoc pod episode takes stock of the first days of Operation Epic Fury and wonders if this is the war when it's going well (as Donald Trump insists) what does it look like when it's going badly? Oil through the roof, stock market crashes, service personnel coming home in coffins, regional allies being drone-attacked and now a new Supreme Leader who hates America even more than his dad did. Also - can Keir Starmer take Tony Blair's rebuke and turn it into electoral advantage? And are we seeing the emergence of a Trump dynasty that will influence global politics for decades to come?

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur l'échange de prisonniers ukrainiens et russes, la fin des visas étudiants pour certains pays au Royaume-Uni et la nomination d'un nouveau Guide suprême en Iran. RDC : quels défis attendent James Swan, le nouveau chef de la Monusco ?   L'ONU a nommé l'Américain James Swan à la tête de la mission de maintien de la paix en RDC. Il succède à la Guinéenne Bintou Keita dans un contexte sécuritaire très tendu dans l'est du pays, marqué par la reprise des combats avec l'AFC/M23. Pourquoi avoir choisi un Américain pour diriger la Monusco ? Cette décision a-t-elle été influencée par Washington ? Au regard de son expérience et de son parcours de diplomate, James Swan peut-il vraiment faire respecter le cessez-le-feu dans l'est du pays et relancer l'action de la Monusco ? Avec Patient Ligodi, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.      Ukraine-Russie : comment expliquer la vague de libération des prisonniers de guerre ?   Au total, 1 000 prisonniers ont été libérés. L'Ukraine et la Russie ont échangé, chacune, 500 prisonniers de guerre grâce à la médiation des États-Unis et des Émirats Arabes Unis. Cet accord constitue l'un des rares gestes concrets entre Moscou et Kiev. Pourquoi cet accord intervient-il maintenant ? Que sait-on du profil des prisonniers libérés ? Comment les États-Unis et les Émirats Arabes Unis ont-ils permis ces échanges ? Avec Kseniya Zhornokley, journaliste spécialisée pour la rédaction ukrainienne de RFI.        Royaume-Uni : pourquoi Londres ferme ses portes aux étudiants de certains pays ?   La décision a été annoncée par la ministre de l'Intérieur Shabana Mahmood. À partir du 26 mars, les ressortissants afghans, camerounais, birmans et soudanais ne pourront plus obtenir de visa étudiant pour étudier en Grande-Bretagne. Le gouvernement travailliste de Keir Starmer durcit donc encore un peu plus sa politique migratoire. Pourquoi cette mesure est-elle adoptée maintenant ? Pourquoi les étudiants de ces quatre pays sont-ils visés en particulier ? Avec Sidonie Gaucher, correspondante à Londres de RFI.       Iran : le fils succède à son père, comment expliquer ce choix ?   Son nom circulait de longue date pour prendre le relais d'Ali Khamenei, mort sous les bombes américano-israéliennes au premier jour de la guerre. Mojtaba Khamenei a été choisi dimanche par l'Assemblée des experts, collège de 88 membres appartenant au clergé chiite, pour succéder à son père comme guide suprême. Comment expliquer ce choix ? Le fils bénéfice-t-il du soutien de tout le régime iranien ?  Avec Clément Therme, chercheur, professeur à l'Université Paul-Valery de Montpellier. Auteur de l'ouvrage « Téhéran/Washington, 1979 – 2025 : Le grand satan à l'épreuve de la révolution islamique » (éditions Hémisphères).   

This week on History's Greatest Idiots (Featuring Peter of In The Wheels), we explore two Scottish success stories: cyclist David Millar's fall from grace and redemption, and comic writer Mark Millar's controversial rise to Hollywood riches.Born 4th January 1977 in Malta, David Millar burst onto cycling's scene in 2000, winning the Tour de France prologue and wearing the yellow jersey. He won four Tour stages and became the first British rider to wear the leader's jersey in all three Grand Tours.On 23rd June 2004, whilst dining in Biarritz, French police arrested Millar. They found empty EPO phials and syringes. Millar confessed to doping in 2001 and 2003. He was banned for two years, stripped of his 2003 World Championship, and fired by Cofidis.Returning in 2006, Millar transformed into cycling's most vocal anti-doping advocate. He served on WADA's Athlete Committee, became peloton spokesperson during Operación Puerto, and proved he could win clean with stages in the Vuelta, Giro, and a 2012 Tour victory. He achieved almost identical results in both halves of his career, retiring in 2014.Born 24th December 1969 in Coatbridge, Mark Millar became one of comics' most successful and divisive figures. After The Authority and The Ultimates (Time's "comic book of the decade"), Millar created Millarworld, designing properties to sell to Hollywood. Wanted, Kick-Ass, and Kingsman became films before issues appeared. Netflix purchased Millarworld in 2017.Critical reception has been harsh. Old Man Logan was called "grotesque" and "without substance", Kick-Ass criticised for undermining its premise, Nemesis dismissed as shock value. When asked about using assaults as a plot device, Millar said: "The ultimate act that would be the taboo, to show how bad some villain is..."Politically, Millar supported Brexit as a path to Scottish independence, then resigned from Labour in 2025, calling Keir Starmer's government "nightmarish, totalitarian."Two Millars. One rebuilt his reputation through honesty. The other built a Hollywood empire on controversy.David Millar: From Yellow Jersey to Prison CellMark Millar: Comics, Controversy and Self-Promotion⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

As Iran names its new supreme leader oil prices skyrocket, sending shockwaves across the global economy – but how will the UK government deal with the issue?President Trump claims the surge is a “small price to pay” for peace - but as G7 finance leaders hold an emergency meeting later today can they find ways to limit the damage?Sam and Anne discuss the steps Keir Starmer can take to reassure the public, if the conflict could hit people's pockets and whether there is potential of world economies collapsing under the pressure.The pair also consider the increasingly turbulent “special relationship's”: is it just a one-way street?Plus, with the courts bill returning to the House of Commons tomorrow will we get a picture of how big a potential rebellion could be?

As Donald Trump dismisses soaring energy costs as a “very small price to pay”, the West is bracing for surging oil prices — and UK households are in the firing line, with higher prices for electricity, heating, petrol, airfare, and more.With disruption in the Strait of Hormuz (a critical route for roughly a fifth of the world's oil), some analysts warn crude could surge towards $150 a barrel, with extreme scenarios even higher if disruption is prolonged.Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Conservative MP and former Security Minister Tom Tugendhat, who argues all Keir Starmer has done is leave Britain less popular with our allies— while reports of a “humbling” call with Trump raise fresh questions about Labour's standing with Britain's biggest security partner. Tugendhat also warns the UK's hollowed-out military capability is now impossible to ignore, as questions swirl around the protection of the Cyprus base, the lack of a Royal Navy presence in the region, and the reality that moving even a single ship has become a Prime Minister-level decision because of our scarce resources.Plus, Julia speaks to Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israeli Foreign Ministry Special Envoy, on Iran's leadership, the threat posed by the regime and its proxies, and why she believes the West cannot treat this as “someone else's problem” even as families at home face higher bills.Also: the King's planned visit to the US, the fraying Trump–Starmer dynamic, and calls to ban a pro-Iran march in the UK amid renewed scrutiny of the IRGC.

Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump have spoken for the first time since the US president condemned the UK's response to the Iran conflict. Reports claim the two leaders discussed the situation in the Middle East and military cooperation between the UK and US. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says many details of the call are unknown, but it can't have been pleasant for Starmer. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VOV1 - Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và Thủ tướng Keir Starmer ngày 8/3 đã có cuộc điện đàm nhằm thảo luận về diễn biến mới nhất của cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông, trong bối cảnh chiến dịch không kích của Mỹ và Israel nhằm vào Iran bước sang tuần thứ hai.Theo tuyên bố, hai nhà lãnh đạo đã trao đổi về tình hình chiến sự cũng như các hình thức hợp tác quân sự giữa hai nước, bao gồm việc sử dụng các căn cứ của Không quân Hoàng gia Anh để hỗ trợ các hoạt động phòng thủ tập thể cho các đối tác trong khu vực.Thủ tướng Starmer cũng bày tỏ lời chia buồn sâu sắc tới ông Trump và người dân Mỹ sau khi sáu binh sĩ Mỹ thiệt mạng trong một cuộc tấn công nhằm vào một cơ sở quân sự của Mỹ tại Kuwait.Cuộc điện đàm diễn ra sau khi ông Trump công khai chỉ trích London vì không tham gia trực tiếp vào các cuộc không kích của Mỹ nhằm vào Iran. Tổng thống Mỹ trước đó cho rằng Washington không cần sự tham gia của các tàu sân bay Anh trong chiến dịch quân sự và cáo buộc Thủ tướng Starmer tìm cách “tham gia vào cuộc chiến sau khi đã giành chiến thắng”.Theo truyền thông Anh, tàu sân bay Hoàng từ xứ Wales đang được chuẩn bị để triển khai tới khu vực Vịnh Ba Tư, trong khi chính phủ Anh được cho là đã cân nhắc khả năng điều thêm các lực lượng hải quân tới khu vực.Sau những tranh cãi ban đầu, London đã cho phép Mỹ sử dụng căn cứ quân sự Diego Garcia để tiến hành các hoạt động quân sự. Ngoài ra, bốn máy bay ném bom B-1 của Mỹ cũng đã được triển khai tới căn cứ Fairford để hỗ trợ các hoạt động trong khu vực.Trong khi đó, ông Trump tiếp tục cảnh báo rằng Washington có thể mở rộng các mục tiêu tấn công tại Iran. Trong một bài đăng trên mạng xã hội, ông tuyên bố các lực lượng Mỹ đang xem xét việc tấn công thêm các khu vực và mục tiêu mới tại nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo này, đồng thời khẳng định Iran có thể phải đối mặt với những đòn tấn công mạnh mẽ hơn nếu căng thẳng tiếp tục leo thang.Quang Trung/VOV-WashingtonTổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và Thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer (ảnh: Reuters)

Today, we look at the extent to which the lessons learned from the Iraq war has shaped the UK's response to the war in Iran.Keir Starmer has taken a position somewhere between full support of Donald Trump's actions, and direct criticism of them.In a post on Truth Social, the US president criticised the UK for being less than 100% supportive, saying ‘we will remember' and "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"On Friday, former Labour Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair told a private event that the UK should have backed the strikes from the beginning.But is Keir Starmer's decision making being guided by some of the failures of the 2003 Iraq war, which Blair led the UK into?You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has come under mounting political pressure as renewed scrutiny surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files has reignited questions about the role of prominent political figures connected to the scandal. The controversy intensified following developments involving Peter Mandelson, whose past association with Epstein has resurfaced in newly discussed records and testimony circulating in the United States. Critics across the political spectrum have argued that the situation places Starmer in an uncomfortable position because Mandelson remains a powerful and influential figure within Labour circles despite the long-running controversy surrounding his links to Epstein. Opposition politicians and some voices within Starmer's own party have demanded greater clarity about Mandelson's relationship with Epstein and whether any additional information contained in the emerging files could further implicate figures tied to the British political establishment.The pressure on Starmer stems not only from Mandelson's history with Epstein but also from the broader political optics of appearing reluctant to distance the government from individuals connected to the disgraced financier. As new material from the Epstein files continues to circulate and international investigations expand, critics argue that Starmer must confront questions about Mandelson's role directly rather than allowing the issue to linger in the background. The controversy has created an awkward political dilemma for the prime minister: Mandelson is widely seen as a veteran strategist and influential voice within Labour's political orbit, yet his association with Epstein has repeatedly sparked public backlash. With the Epstein files continuing to generate headlines in both the United States and the United Kingdom, Starmer now faces intensifying calls from opponents and transparency advocates to address the issue head-on and clarify his government's stance on figures linked to the scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Trump Blasts Starmer — Is he a loser with no future? #Starmer #DonaldTrump #UKPolitics #Iran #TalkRadio #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live Let's be honest for a moment. When Donald Trump calls Keir Starmer "a loser who has no future," Westminster reacts with outrage — shock, horror, clutch the pearls. But here's the real question. Why are so many ordinary voters not shocked at all? Because look at what people are seeing. A world that's becoming more dangerous by the day. Serious tensions in the Middle East involving Iran. Major global uncertainty. And Britain — once a country that projected confidence and strength — now looks hesitant, cautious, almost afraid to speak plainly. Then you look at what's happening at home. People worried about the economy. Communities worried about crime and cohesion. Arguments raging about immigration, integration and free speech. And what does the government seem focused on? Another new "czar". Another official to monitor language and police attitudes. Now supporters say tackling anti-Muslim hatred is important — and of course discrimination should be challenged wherever it appears. But critics are asking a fair question: Is the government more interested in managing political sensitivities than confronting the deeper problems that are making communities anxious in the first place? That's the debate people want to have. And instead of engaging with it openly, too often the political class just tries to shut the conversation down. Well tonight we're not doing that. Tonight we're asking the uncomfortable question. Is Keir Starmer actually leading Britain with confidence… or does he increasingly look like a Prime Minister who's struggling to convince the country he knows where he's taking it? And if you think I'm wrong — tell me. Because this show is about debate, not silence.

Opposition politicians and some voices within Starmer's own party have demanded greater clarity about Mandelson's relationship with Epstein and whether any additional information contained in the emerging files could further implicate figures tied to the British political establishment.The pressure on Starmer stems not only from Mandelson's history with Epstein but also from the broader political optics of appearing reluctant to distance the government from individuals connected to the disgraced financier. As new material from the Epstein files continues to circulate and international investigations expand, critics argue that Starmer must confront questions about Mandelson's role directly rather than allowing the issue to linger in the background. The controversy has created an awkward political dilemma for the prime minister: Mandelson is widely seen as a veteran strategist and influential voice within Labour's political orbit, yet his association with Epstein has repeatedly sparked public backlash. With the Epstein files continuing to generate headlines in both the United States and the United Kingdom, Starmer now faces intensifying calls from opponents and transparency advocates to address the issue head-on and clarify his government's stance on figures linked to the scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The media warns the war with Iran is “spreading,” but the reality may be the opposite. Middle Eastern nations are lining up alongside the United States and Israel after Iranian attacks across the region. In this episode, Tara breaks down the surprising geopolitical shift: Gulf states offering bases, military coordination, and strategic support while some European allies hesitate. Plus, a deeper look at how the conflict is reshaping global alliances—and why past policies under Barack Obama may have helped Iran develop the missile capabilities now being destroyed by Donald Trump's strategy. Episode Summary: Media headlines claim the conflict with Iran is expanding across the Middle East—but Tara explains why the reality may actually strengthen America's position. As Iran lashes out militarily, several Gulf nations—including United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait—are quietly aligning with the United States and Israel. According to U.S. officials, Iran's attacks on multiple countries have pushed regional powers closer together, accelerating a strategic alliance that echoes the spirit of the Abraham Accords. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper say Iran has now attacked more than a dozen countries—prompting those nations to cooperate with American forces through basing, air defense, and intelligence support. At the same time, some European governments—including leaders like Keir Starmer in the United Kingdom—have faced criticism for initially restricting the use of military bases during the conflict. Tara argues the crisis is exposing a dramatic realignment in global alliances, forcing the world to reconsider who America's true partners are. The episode also teases an explosive historical clip suggesting how policies during the Barack Obama administration may have contributed to Iran's missile development—capabilities the U.S. is now targeting in the current conflict. Key Topics Covered: Media narrative vs. reality in the Iran conflict Gulf states aligning with the U.S. and Israel Regional cooperation after Iranian attacks Strategic impact of the Abraham Accords Military coordination with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain European hesitation and criticism of Keir Starmer's government Debate over past U.S. policy under Barack Obama Preview of upcoming revelations about Iran's missile program

A brutal DHS hearing ends a political career, Middle East alliances flip the global order, and the SAVE Act becomes the last stand against election fraud. Tara breaks down how media narratives, foreign policy shifts, and Republican infighting are colliding at once. EPISODE SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara dives into a stunning political collapse at the Department of Homeland Security after explosive testimony about an alleged affair with political operative Corey Lewandowski. The scandal erupts during a tense congressional hearing, raising questions about ethics, leadership, and the political damage done in the middle of major immigration enforcement efforts. Meanwhile, the geopolitical map is shifting fast. Following military strikes against Iran, several Gulf states—including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain—are quietly aligning with the United States and Israel, offering bases and operational support. Tara explains why this surprising coalition may actually simplify the conflict rather than expand it. At the same time, tension grows with traditional Western allies. Leaders like Keir Starmer face criticism as the United Kingdom and other European governments hesitate to support U.S. operations, sparking debate over whether old alliances are weakening while new ones form in the Middle East. Back in Washington, a political showdown is brewing over election integrity legislation. The SAVE Act could force states to provide voter roll data and require proof of citizenship to vote—potentially reshaping future elections. But Senate leadership battles, including figures like John Thune, John Cornyn, and Lindsey Graham, are threatening to stall it. Finally, Tara looks at rising frustration over judicial decisions in states like South Carolina, where critics say liberal judges are being repeatedly appointed by Republican legislatures despite controversial rulings—including a case where a stabbing suspect was released on minimal bond. It's a chaotic moment in American politics—scandals, shifting alliances, and battles for the future of elections—all colliding at once. SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS DHS Hearing Explosion A devastating congressional exchange puts DHS leadership under fire after questions about alleged personal misconduct involving Corey Lewandowski. Middle East Alliances Flip Gulf nations quietly move closer to the U.S. and Israel after Iranian attacks across the region. Europe vs. The U.S.? Debate grows as the UK and France hesitate on military cooperation. SAVE Act Power Struggle A major election integrity bill becomes the center of a fierce fight inside the Republican Party. South Carolina's Judicial Controversy Critics say the state's judicial selection system keeps producing soft-on-crime rulings. KEY TAKEAWAYS A DHS scandal erupts during a high-profile congressional hearing. Middle Eastern alliances are shifting in unexpected ways. Western allies face criticism for hesitation in regional conflicts. The SAVE Act could dramatically change U.S. election verification. Judicial appointment systems are facing renewed scrutiny.

For the last decade or so we've looked on as the United States has radically changed itself, but the UK has been changing too as it continues to struggle with economic stagnation and the fallout from Brexit.The British people, famous for their aversion to radical and emotional politics, have embarked on a course which was supposed to take them back to the comforting certainties of the past, but has instead, brought them into an uncertain new world.It began with the huge shock of Brexit, then the constant turnover of Prime Ministers including Liz Truss whose term in office was famous outlived by a head of lettuce.In 2025 British Labor won government in a massive landslide, which saw many hope things might settle down, but now Kier Starmer is hanging on by his fingernails.And for those looking to the monarchy for a sense of continuity and national unity, that's not going well either.So what on earth has happened to the land of toast and tea? Ian Dunt is a British political journalist and author of How Westminster Works and Why is Doesn't Ian is also a regular contributor to Late Night Live on Radio National.This episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake, the Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores British politics, Brexit, the financial crash, austerity, David Cameron, The Conservative Party, referendum, European Union, New Labor, populism, government services, the UK-US alliance, Christianity, Marxism, puberty, disillusioned, dogma, ideology, psychedelic, journalism, political discourse, British public school system, elites, power, Prime Ministers, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, immigration.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

A week into the Iran war and Sir Keir Starmer is scrambling to defend the UK's position on the conflict. Criticised by Donald Trump over blocking the US from using British military bases to launch initial strikes on Iran, and under pressure from allies such as Cyprus to do more to protect the region, the PM is also facing demands to participate in strikes from the British right. But polling suggests the UK public is broadly in line with his policy on the conflict. This week host Lucy Fisher is joined by the FT's chief political commentator Robert Shrimsley, deputy opinion editor Miranda Green and our economics editor, Sam Fleming, to discuss London's response to the war.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has come under mounting political pressure as renewed scrutiny surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files has reignited questions about the role of prominent political figures connected to the scandal. The controversy intensified following developments involving Peter Mandelson, whose past association with Epstein has resurfaced in newly discussed records and testimony circulating in the United States. Critics across the political spectrum have argued that the situation places Starmer in an uncomfortable position because Mandelson remains a powerful and influential figure within Labour circles despite the long-running controversy surrounding his links to Epstein. Opposition politicians and some voices within Starmer's own party have demanded greater clarity about Mandelson's relationship with Epstein and whether any additional information contained in the emerging files could further implicate figures tied to the British political establishment.The pressure on Starmer stems not only from Mandelson's history with Epstein but also from the broader political optics of appearing reluctant to distance the government from individuals connected to the disgraced financier. As new material from the Epstein files continues to circulate and international investigations expand, critics argue that Starmer must confront questions about Mandelson's role directly rather than allowing the issue to linger in the background. The controversy has created an awkward political dilemma for the prime minister: Mandelson is widely seen as a veteran strategist and influential voice within Labour's political orbit, yet his association with Epstein has repeatedly sparked public backlash. With the Epstein files continuing to generate headlines in both the United States and the United Kingdom, Starmer now faces intensifying calls from opponents and transparency advocates to address the issue head-on and clarify his government's stance on figures linked to the scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It's the seventh day of the US-Israeli war with Iran and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said America is about to dramatically increase the amount of firepower over the country as the military campaign moves into the next phase.On today's episode, Venetia takes a step back and looks at what has been achieved so far over one week of war. She is joined by Col. Simon Diggins, a former British Army Officer who has served in the Middle East, and Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute.They discuss how much progress America has made with its stated objectives, whether Iran is running out of missiles or holding them back, the Shahed drone problem, what's left of the Iranian navy and why regime change still seems a distant prospect for now.Plus, two arguments for and against the UK becoming militarily involved - is it Keir Starmer's moral duty or does Britain have nothing relevant to offer?Read Iran war, day seven: Everything you need to know: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/06/iran-war-day-seven-everything-you-need-to-know/Read Trump to use British bases for ‘surge' in Iran attacks: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/06/trump-to-use-british-bases-for-surge-in-iran-attacks/Producer: Sophie O'SullivanExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Keir Starmer has spent much of the week defending his decision not to join the US and Israel's offensive in Iran, saying that “any UK actions must always have a lawful basis'.In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to international legal expert Marko Milanovic, Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading. They discuss the legality of the US-Israeli intervention in Iran, if Starmer made the right call on behalf of Britain, and whether flouting international law can ever be justified on moral grounds.

As the conflict in the Middle East escalates, the British government continues to face questions about its response. Was the UK too slow to act, and if so – why? Tim Shipman reveals in the Spectator today that Keir Starmer was initially minded to approve American use of British bases but was persuaded not to by other figures, including Ed Miliband. How much damage has this done with the Americans and also wider European allies? Defence Secretary John Healey has landed in Cyprus today on a damage-limitation mission – or in a show of strength, depending on your viewpoint.

C dans l'air du 5 mars 2026 - Iran : la guerre s'étend encore... jusqu'où ?Au sixième jour de guerre au Moyen-Orient, les attaques sont de plus en plus nombreuses et violentes. Israël a intensifié ses frappes contre le Hezbollah au Liban, où 700 000 Libanais sont désormais appelés à évacuer le sud du pays. L'armée israélienne progresse désormais au sol, tout en continuant, avec les États-Unis, les bombardements intensifs sur l'Iran, et bien au-delà. Un sous-marin américain a coulé mercredi une frégate iranienne au large du Sri Lanka, dans l'océan Indien. Selon le secrétaire à la Défense américain, Pete Hegseth, le bâtiment iranien est le premier coulé par une torpille américaine depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Téhéran, de son côté, réplique par des salves de drones et de missiles contre Israël, des cibles américaines dans les pays du Golfe, mais aussi ce jeudi dans la région autonome du Kurdistan en Irak. Hier, la Maison-Blanche avait confirmé des discussions entre Donald Trump et « des dirigeants kurdes » sur la base américaine du nord de l'Irak, tout en démentant les informations de plusieurs médias américains selon lesquelles les États-Unis comptaient armer des milices kurdes contre l'Iran pour susciter un soulèvement. Les gardiens de la révolution ont également assuré dans la journée qu'un missile iranien avait « touché » un pétrolier américain dans « le nord du golfe Persique ».Face à ces risques, l'option d'escortes militaires pour les navires commerciaux est envisagée. Emmanuel Macron a proposé de bâtir une coalition pour sécuriser « les voies maritimes essentielles ». Le président de la République a ordonné le déploiement du porte-avions Charles-de-Gaulle en Méditerranée, ainsi que l'acheminement de systèmes antimissiles et antidrones avec « une frégate équipée » à Chypre, pays membre de l'UE qui dispose de deux bases militaires britanniques. L'une d'elles a été ciblée dimanche par des drones quelques heures après que Keir Starmer, le Premier ministre travailliste, eut annoncé qu'il avait autorisé les États-Unis à utiliser les bases britanniques dans sa guerre. Londres a assuré lundi que ses bases à Chypre ne seraient pas utilisées par les Américains. La présidence française a fait savoir, ce jeudi, que Paris, Rome et Athènes allaient « coordonner » l'envoi de moyens militaires pour défendre l'île.Alors pourquoi Chypre se retrouve-t-elle impliquée dans le conflit ? Drones, missiles… combien de temps le régime des mollahs peut-il tenir ? La guerre lancée par les Etats-Unis et Israël contre l'Iran a vu son périmètre s'élargir considérablement, allant de l'Irak au large du Sri Lanka en passant par la Turquie et l'Azerbaïdjan, jusqu'où le conflit peut-il s'étendre ? Quelle est la stratégie américaine ?

TRUMP IS RIGHT: STARMER THE LOSER — Appeasement, U-Turns & £40K for Illegal Migrants | LIVE #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #Trump #Starmer #UKPolitics #IllegalImmigration #BorderSecurity #DetainDeport #MigrationCrisis #UKGovernment #EdMiliband #ShabanaMahmood Donald Trump has called Keir Starmer a loser — and looking at today's events, it's hard to argue with him. Starmer and Shabana Mahmood now want to offer illegal migrants up to £40,000 to go home. Instead of throwing taxpayers' money at the problem, why not secure our borders and adopt the only policy that works: DETER, DETAIN AND DEPORT. With more than 15 policy U-turns, Starmer seems to have the Midas touch in reverse — everything he touches turns to shit. Trump's criticism comes after Starmer reportedly refused to allow UK bases to be used in action against Iran, a decision many believe he was pushed into by figures such as Ed Miliband. Starmer held a press conference today trying to reassure the country that everything is under control. Watching it, I came away thinking something very different: the asylum system is broken and the lunatics are running the asylum in Westminster. Tonight we break it all down. Is Trump right about Starmer?

If you would like to hear this week's episode in full, search 'Quite right!' wherever you are listening now.This week: Michael and Maddie debate the escalating crisis in Iran and ask whether Donald Trump truly has a strategy – and whether Keir Starmer has one at all.They examine what Trump's strikes are meant to achieve, whether regime change in Tehran is the real objective and why parts of the American right are uneasy about Israel's influence over US foreign policy.Turning to Westminster, they assess Britain's response. Has Starmer struck the right balance between caution and credibility – or has the crisis exposed the limits of Britain's military strength and global influence?Finally, they review Rachel Reeves's Spring Statement. With growth forecasts under scrutiny and public spending pressures mounting, is the Labour party sticking to a credible economic plan – or relying on economic crystal balls?Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

C dans l'air du 4 mars 2026 - Iran : la France entrainée dans la guerre ?Au cinquième jour de guerre au Moyen-Orient, l'armée israélienne poursuit ses tirs sur l'Iran et intensifie ses bombardements au Liban. Les États-Unis revendiquent, eux, des frappes « sur près de 2 000 » cibles depuis samedi. Mais la République islamique d'Iran résiste à la puissance de feu des États-Unis et d'Israël. Des drones frappent les ambassades américaines de la région, mais aussi les pays du Golfe, alliés de Washington, ainsi que des navires dans le détroit d'Ormuz. Les Gardiens de la révolution disent en avoir le contrôle total ce mercredi.Parallèlement, les autorités iraniennes ont annoncé le report de l'hommage national à Ali Khamenei, initialement prévu ce mercredi soir à Téhéran, alors que plusieurs frappes américaines et israéliennes ont eu lieu contre l'Assemblée des experts, chargée notamment d'élire un nouveau guide suprême.Alors, jusqu'à quand le régime des mollahs peut-il tenir ? La Turquie, qui avait exprimé ces derniers jours son inquiétude face aux attaques américano-israéliennes contre l'Iran, « déclenchées par des provocations du Premier ministre israélien Netanyahu », a mis en garde ce mercredi Téhéran après qu'un tir de missile balistique visant son espace aérien a été détruit par « les éléments de défense aérienne et antimissile de l'OTAN » déployés en Méditerranée orientale. La Turquie « n'était pas la cible du missile », a précisé en début d'après-midi un responsable turc à l'AFP. « Nous pensons qu'il visait une base militaire » à Chypre, « mais qu'il a dévié de sa course », a-t-il ajouté.La France, de son côté, a décidé de renforcer son dispositif militaire dans la région, alors que le rapatriement des ressortissants français a commencé. Le porte-avions Charles-de-Gaulle fait route vers la Méditerranée, a ainsi annoncé le chef de l'État mardi soir lors d'une allocation télévisée. Une frégate, le « Languedoc », est arrivée, elle, au large de Chypre dès hier soir, et des moyens de défense antiaérienne supplémentaires vont être envoyés pour sécuriser ce pays membre de l'Union européenne, « avec lequel nous venons de signer un partenariat stratégique », et où des drones iraniens ont visé une base britannique, a indiqué le président de la République. La première frappe avait suivi de peu l'annonce par le Premier ministre britannique, Keir Starmer, qu'il avait autorisé les États-Unis à utiliser les bases britanniques dans sa campagne militaire contre l'Iran.Alors, quelle est la situation au Moyen-Orient ?

Today, President Trump has publicly criticised Keir Starmer saying “This is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with”.The comments came during a press conference at the White House alongside the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. President Trump said he was “not happy with the UK” because of the initial refusal from London to let Washington use the British base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean during its first strikes on Iran.It comes as the UK government has announced it is sending “helicopters with counter drone capabilities” and a warship to the region, after attacks on it's base in Cyprus. Financial markets have also reacted to the uncertainty with oil and gas prices rising, and share prices down.

The fallout from America's audacious attack on Iran continues, and there are a whole host of questions for Keir Starmer.The prime minister has been accused of being slow to react, having initially confirmed that ‘the United Kingdom played no role in these strikes', Labour since agreed to allow the Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford bases to be used for ‘defensive' strikes on Iranian missiles sites. This came after Tehran began to hit back at Britain's regional allies. Is Britain about to be sucked into another costly war in the Middle East? Should the PM stand up to Donald Trump? And will America's attack result in regime change, or are things only going to get worse?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Stephens, Middle East expert.
