This past Friday marked a special date that changed the future of Britain, Europe and countless other nations. On June 6, 1944, the D-Day landings of Allied troops on Normandy's beaches turned the tide of World War 2. Both the Germans and the British and Americans and other allies had known this day was coming. But when it came, it came suddenly and dramatically. At the start of what Field Marshall Rommel called the Longest Day, the Nazi Third Reich looked invincible. By the end of the day, although much fighting lay ahead, its destruction was assured.   D-Day for the launch of the Christian church happened 2000 years ago on the Day of Pentecost which we celebrate this Pentecost Sunday. It took place in Jerusalem which was packed with visitors from all over the world to celebrate the Jewish festival known as the Feast of Harvest or the Feast of Weeks. Within a few moments a small group of followers of Jesus were born into a new dimension of supernatural power and authority. The disciples who had previously been full of fear became fearless ambassadors of Christ.    In one day, a small group of 120 disciples grew to a church of thousands. On this day and after this day they became an unstoppable force. Within weeks the whole of Jerusalem knew all about Jesus and within one generation, despite much hostility and persecution Christianity had spread throughout the Roman Empire.   Today there are more than two billion Christians in the world and well over half a billion of them would describe themselves as Charismatic or Pentecostal. Pentecostalism has been labelled the third great force in Christianity alongside Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. But now all branches of the Christian church are experiencing a new work of the Holy Spirit. Pentecostals/Charismatics are found in 9,000 ethnolinguistic cultures, speaking 8,000 languages covering 95 per cent of the world's total population.   Although the coming of the Holy Spirit had been promised centuries before by the prophet Joel, the events of the day of Pentecost, ten days after the return of Jesus to heaven, were sudden and dramatic.   Acts 2:1-4 says: ‘When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.' We see some simple lessons about the Day of Pentecost: 1. The day of Pentecost was a day of great Power (Acts 2:4; 10:45-46; 4:31-33; 5:12) 2. The day of Pentecost was a day of great purpose (2 Peter 1:3; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:17) 3. The day of Pentecost was a day of blessing for all people (Acts 2:17-18,38-39; Luke 11:11-13) Apply  1. The day of Pentecost was a day of great Power. D Day was an awesome display of military power. D Day for the church, however, was an awesome display of the power of God. It was supernatural power: When the Holy Spirit came there was a sound which came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. Everybody was aware of an awesome power they had never known before. It was not of earthly origin. It was undeniable power. There were signs that God was at work, including the blowing of a violent wind, tongues of fire resting on the disciples which were visible to all and speaking in languages that they had never learnt (Acts 2:4). The gift of speaking in tongues was also present when Peter went to the Gentiles (Acts 10:45-46). The Holy Spirit literally loosened people tongues, to talk in languages they had never spoken before. It was revolutionary power. From the moment the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, they shared the good news of Jesus with great boldness. They no longer were intimidated by anything or anyone even the authorities who tried to stop them (Acts 4:31-33). What's more the disciples worked supernatural healings and miracles in Jesus' name (Acts 5:12). Even the building that they were meeting in was shaken after they prayed (Acts 4:31). What the day of Pentecost clearly shows us is that the greatest power in all the world is not political power or military power or financial power; it is the power of God. Today, it is only this supernatural demonstration of God's power that is going to bring about fundamental change in the church and to our society. It is only when we realise that God alone is our greatest need and we seriously seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit, that this change begins. It doesn't take many people for a new movement of the Holy Spirit to gather momentum. The world transformative movement of Methodism began when the Holy Spirit came on John Wesley and 60 others on Jan 1, 1739. One participant said ‘About three in the morning, as we were continuing instant in prayer, the power of God came mightily upon us, insomuch that many cried out for exceeding joy, and many fell to the ground.' The fires of the Holy Spirit spread rapidly. In February 1739, George Whitefield started preaching to the Kingswood coal miners in the open fields near Bristol. He preached outside because many churches opposed him, accusing him and other evangelicals of “enthusiasm.” When he started the meetings in February, about 200 attended. By March, 20,000 attended. Christians through the ages have recognised the need for the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives and ministries (see C.H. Spurgeon and Dr D. Martyn Lloyd- Jones). We must be confident that God has this power today and we must begin to plead and yearn for it.  2. The day of Pentecost was a day of great purpose. D Day had a supreme goal; the liberation of Europe from the evil rule of the Nazis. France would be liberated; the occupied countries of Europe would be liberated. The survivors of the Holocaust in Belsen and other concentration camps would be liberated. So too the coming of the Holy Spirit liberates us from the captivity of the kingdom of darkness and enables us to live as free born sons and daughters in the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit can free you from sin, self-centredness and evil powers. You can live free from fears and addictions, freed up to live the way God wants us to live (2 Peter 1:3). You can be freed up to extend the Kingdom of God everywhere (Acts 1:8). When you know the power and presence of the Holy Spirit you will be freed up to worship the Lord without religious inhibitions or personal hangups (2 Corinthians 3:17). So Pentecost means you will receive power and you will live in great freedom. 3. The day of Pentecost was a day of blessing for all people. Huge numbers of people were involved in the events of D Day and even more were affected by them. In time hundreds of millions of people felt the impact of D Day. So too the Holy Spirit wants to affect people everywhere (Acts 2:17-18). The prophecy of Joel includes young people: sons and daughters. Your children too also need to experience God in a supernatural way. Old people: you're not too old to have a new encounter from God and to receive new dreams Men: the Holy Spirit wants to help and equip you. Women: you can be greatly used by God. All ethnic groups; Jews and non-Jews. And this promise of the Holy Spirit is still open for every generation and for you also (Acts 2:38-39). Others have been blessed. Now you can you be too. God is interested in you. God wants to help you. God is for you. You may not have a church background. You may be new to all this but if you are hungry for God He will meet you. The Holy Spirit will change you. The Holy Spirit will comfort you. The Holy Spirit will guide you. The Holy Spirit will give you all the authority you need to conquer in every situation. You can be filled with the Holy Spirit just as happened to ALL the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. Today you can pray this ancient and simple prayer of the Christian church: ‘Come Holy Spirit.'  If you want to be filled with the Spirit then repent of sin and wrong doing. Have you grieved the Holy Spirit by your words, attitudes, actions and relationships? Have you quenched the Spirit by not obeying Him when you should and despising His gifts and His people? Repent and be baptised. Then you need to hunger and ask for the Holy Spirit and you will receive Him (Luke 11:11-13). 

Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.Fergus Linacre of Kingswood takes us behind the scenes of their epic 112-show Australian tour and the raw, unflinching documentary that captured it all. After the pandemic silenced stages across the country, Kingswood made a bold decision to reconnect with audiences everywhere—especially in regional areas starved for live music.When logistical challenges made traditional touring impossible, they bought their own bus, named her Peggy, and embarked on a six-month journey that would test their endurance, creativity, and relationships. Meanwhile, filmmaker Darcy Newton documented every moment, creating what would become the award-winning documentary "ClapTrap."What makes this documentary unique is Kingswood's commitment to authenticity. Inspired by Nick Cave's willingness to be vulnerable on camera, they surrendered creative control, allowing Darcy to film everything without interference. "We're quite honest about where we're at," Fergus explains. "It's not a puff piece for the band." The result is a psychological exploration of life on the road—the highs, lows, and everything in between.The conversation reveals fascinating insights into the band's formation at Melbourne Grammar School, their musical influences (from Aerosmith to Queen), and how they balanced academic pursuits with their passion for music. Fergus shares stories about supporting ACDC and Aerosmith, including a memorable backstage encounter with Steven Tyler.Looking ahead, Kingswood announces fresh music releases beginning with their Tom Petty cover "You Wreck Me," an upcoming album, and tour dates across Australia and Europe. For fans ready to experience their powerful live performances, tickets for their upcoming shows at Port Lincoln and Whyalla will be available at kingswoodband.com.Don't miss the rare theatrical screening of "ClapTrap" at the Regal Theatre in Kensington Park on April 9—your chance to witness the untold story behind one of Australia's most ambitious musical journeys.What has Fergus Linacre and Alex Laska of Kingswood been up to lately?  Let's find out!!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

Aussie band Kingswood are rock royalty, having played shows with AC/DC and The Hives, tearing down the rooves of Aussie venues in equal measure with their unique brand of raucous rock. In 2024, the band undertook a record-setting road trip across Australia with the Hometowns Tour, the longest ever music tour, encompassing 112 shows over six months, with everywhere from the outer regions of Western Australia to the sticky floors of Sydney getting a taste of their guitar licks and long hair. Knowing what a historical moment this would be for the band, Kingswood tapped emerging director Darcy Newton on the shoulder to shoot social media footage and share their journey on the road. That notion quickly fell by the wayside when Darcy realised there was something more at play here, with his trusty camera able to capture the highs and the lows of the bands journey, ultimately bringing forth the feature documentary CLAPTRAP.In the following interview, recorded ahead of the films roll out in Australian cinemas which kicks off with a premiere event at The Astor Theatre Melbourne on Friday 4 April, and culminates with a Q&A screening at The Ritz Sydney on Friday 11 April, Darcy and producer Luca Catalano talk about how they came on board to shoot the film, what life was like on the bus with the band, and how Darcy captured some of CLAPTRAP's more impactful moments, like a late night boozy chat with a regional music icon or a deep and meaningful chat between bandmates about the meaning of one of their songs.CLAPTRAP AUSTRALIAN SCREENINGS** KINGSWOOD attending Friday 4 April Astor Theatre Melbourne **PREMIERE EVENTTicketsSaturday 5 April Thornbury Picture House Melbourne **SCREENING, Q&A EVENTTicketsSunday 6 April Pivotonian Cinema GeelongSCREENING, Q&A EVENT Wednesday 9 April Regal Theatre Adelaide SA SCREENINGWednesday 9 April Byron Bay Palace Byron Bay NSW **SCREENING, Q&A EVENT Thursday 10 April New Farm Cinema Brisbane ** SCREENING, Q&A EVENT TicketsFriday 11 April The Ritz Sydney **SCREENING, Q&A EVENT Hosted on Acast.

A spat has erupted between two top schools in Makhanda, Graeme College and Kingswood College, following accusations that Kingswood College had implemented an “aggressive” recruitment policy that is severely impacting on Graeme College and also other schools. Graeme College headmaster, Kevin Watson and SGB chairperson, Cameron McConnachie, signed the letter to parents and guardians, in which they also cut all sporting and other ties until this matter is resolved. “Reports indicate that Kingswood offers reduced fees to Graeme College learners, matching their current school fees, to encourage them to transfer. “During this time, a large number of our learners have to Kingswood, with many more being approached, often discreetly,” Watson said in the letter. He said the Graeme learners targeted for recruitment are typically high achievers in academics and sport, as well as children of families who consistently contribute to the success of Graeme College.“This recruitment strategy is not only disruptive to the school’s operations but also deeply demoralizing for the Graeme community. “While not unlawful, the active recruitment of Graeme learners undermines the relationship between our institutions and threatens the stability of the school,” said WatsonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Find your nearest ⁠⁠J⁠ohn Deere dealer⁠⁠⁠⁠ at ⁠⁠⁠deere.com.au⁠⁠⁠  Glenn Stuart is Director of Courses at one of Australia's best golf facilities, Peninsula Kingswood, or PK as it's affectionately known. Glenn was around good golf courses from a young age as you'll hear including the well regarded, regional Victorian, Leongatha Golf Club. When it came to getting full time work at the age of 17, Glenn put himself forward to a number of golf clubs, and as it would turn out, landed a job at the now former Kingswood Golf Club, which in recent years became one half of today's Peninsula Kingswood. Glenn was mentored by some of the greenkeeping industries brightest minds at a young age which would set him up to become a Superintendent himself for the first time at a young age at another well known Sandbelt golf course! Glenn continued his career as Superintendent throughout a number of Melbourne's best golf courses including preparing for some of the biggest tournaments held in Australia. Then came a new opportunity to take on a new role and the new Peninsula Kingswood, a merger of both Peninsula and Kingswood golf club's which entailed a rebirthing and redesign of Peninsula's 36 hole facility to create the new PK. As you'll hear, this redesign was one enormous task that evolved during the process, and Glenn's insight into just what was involved to bring PK to life and how it is being maintained since, needs to be heard to understand another reason why I believe PK should be considered as one of the best golf facilities in Australia. You are going to enjoy this interview, you are going to get a great deal out of this interview, you will consider your thoughts about PK after this interview, and you will be looking for a way to play PK after this interview! Join me for one final ride in 2024 as we dive deep with Glenn into his incredible greenkeeping career and learn about PK like never before!

The longest episode we've ever done! There was a lot to discuss... The keenly anticipated chat on one of the most dramatic, and visually striking courses in the land. Following on from Scott's whirlwind trip to Melbourne a fortnight back, we do a deep dive on PK North. More than a good looker, this course is a gem in every way. Playable and strategically engaging with artful hazards, and intricate greens. No wonder this is a crowd favourite - we're happy to finally discuss PK North with you. It's a high quality, fun and memorable layout. Scott & Matt talk about all facets of the course - routing, greens, vegetation, mix of holes, topography, turf and conditioning (which was remarkable considering the deluge that fell the day before we played!).  Where does it sit in relation to other high-end Australian courses?  What are the standouts and what really left a mark with us? We hope you like the discussion - feel free to leave a comment if there's something you disagree with, or want more detail on when we next record.

You Promised Dragons and Gave Us Chattering Hens This Week on the Podcast, Brian and Darryl get around to reviewing the last 3 episodes of season 2 of House of the Dragon. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Deadpool 3 Box Office: 10:05 Dragon Stuff Season 2: 17:03 House of the Dragon (Season 2) Season 2 Out of 10 Inconsistent Starts and Stops Darryl: 7/10 Brain: 6.78/10 Episode 6 Episode Title: “Smallfolk” Written by: Eileen Shim Directed by: Andrij Parekh Air Date: July 21, 2024 Summary: Jason Lannister leads his army to the Golden Tooth. Aemond refuses vassal Humfrey Lefford’s request to fly there and provide support. Aemond wants Tyland Lannister to ally with the Triarchy to break the Velaryon blockade. Aemond orders Criston to march on Harrenhal and dismisses Alicent from the Small Council. Ser Steffon Darklyn, a distant Targaryen descendant, attempts to claim Seasmoke and is incinerated. Daemon continues having disturbing dreams and irrationally believes he is being poisoned. Aemond orders Larys to summon Otto Hightower to court. Aegon, slowly recovering, tells Aemond he remembers nothing about the battle. Gwayne Hightower assures Alicent that her youngest son, Daeron, is kind, unlike his brothers. Corlys appoints his illegitimate son, Alyn of Hull, his flagship’s first mate. Meanwhile, Alyn’s brother, Addam, is pursued by Seasmoke. Mysaria’s spies spread rumors that the royals regularly feast while smallfolk starve. Mysaria sends food-laden Targaryen boats to King’s Landing. The grateful citizens fight over limited supplies, causing a riot that Alicent and Helaena barely survive. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra that her father sexually abused her and why she is loyal. They passionately kiss. Upon hearing Seasmoke has a new rider, Rhaenyra leaves on Syrax to confront them. Episode 7 Episode Title: “The Red Sowing” Written by: David Hancock Directed by: Loni Perstere Air Date: July 28, 2024 Summary: Rhaenyra confronts Addam of Hull, Seasmoke’s new rider, who pledges fealty to her. Dismayed at being removed from the Small Council, Alicent retreats to the Kingswood. Larys pushes Grand Maester Orwyle to accelerate Aegon’s recovery. While departing the Eyrie with the young princes, Rhaena leaves to find the wild dragon. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra to search for Targaryen dragonseeds (bastards with Valyrian blood) in King’s Landing as potential dragonriders. The new Lord Paramount, Oscar Tully, offers Daemon allegiance but denounces his nefarious behavior. He demands Daemon’s contrition and to mete out justice for allowing war atrocities; Daemon then executes Willem Blackwood for slaughtering the Brackens. Daemon has another vision of Viserys, who asks if he truly wants the crown and its burden. Jace confronts Rhaenyra, arguing that bastard dragonriders could challenge the Targaryens’ power and threaten the succession due to his illegitimate birth. At Rhaenyra’s command, Elinda and Alyn deliver the dragonseeds to Dragonstone, Hugh, and Ulf among them. Vermithor kills many dragonseeds until Hugh claims him; meanwhile, Ulf claims Silverwing and flies over King’s Landing. Aemond pursues him on Vhagar but nearing Dragonstone, he quickly retreats upon seeing Rhaenyra with Syrax, Vermithor, and Silverwing. Episode 8 Episode Title: “The Queen Who Ever Was” Written by: Sara Hess Directed by: Greeta Vasant Patel Air Date: August 4, 2024 Summary: Tyland Lannister allies with the Triarchy, but must first defeat Admiral Sharako Lohar in mud-wrestling; he wins, impressing her. Larys urges Aegon to exile themselves in Braavos where Harrenhal’s gold is stashed, then reclaim the throne following the war. After a long search, Rhaena finds the wild dragon. Gwayne challenges Criston, who regrets the war. A rage-fueled Aemond destroys Sharp Point with Vhagar. Rhaenyra, who hoped to have more dragonriders would deter conflict, declares war. Ulf’s boorish behavior angers Jace. Alyn rebuffs Corlys’s attempts at reconciliation. Rhaenyra and Addam fly to Harrenhal after Simon Strong sends a warning that Daemon may be traitorous. Alys leads Daemon to a weirwood tree where he foresees a future including a White Walker and Daenerys Targaryen; seeing himself as part of a larger story, he swears fealty to Rhaenyra. Helaena refuses Aemond’s demand to fly Dreamfyre into battle and foresees that he will die in the war. Alicent secretly travels to Dragonstone, offering to surrender King’s Landing to Rhaenyra in exchange for her and her family’s safety; Rhaenyra insists Aegon must die to ensure the transition.

This time on the Silent Sisters', covering the penultimate episode of the season "The Red Sowing", LIttleWolfBird and Blue_Lemons are joined by returning guest and lovable devil's advocate, Pat Sponaugle, and first timer and drink-mixer extraordinair, Sean Pink! In a shocking and unplanned start to the episode, Pat and Sean stage a coup, take over the show, and drive your High Heretics headfirst into a Criston Cole discussion. We learn that it's all Otto's fault, oh and did you know he was a feminist? Alicent takes a much needed vacation to the Kingswood with one of the last remaining King's Guar knights and we all want to join her. Aemond dismisses Aegon's bff's, sending them to the wall while Larys and Jasper consult each other on whether to give the Prince Consort some perhaps dubiously sourced and potentially unreliable information. Sean blows our minds about Larys encouraging Maester Orwyle in gaming the system plus, perhaps Targaryan's have magical healing powers, question mark? LittleWolfBird once again goes on to question Addam's parantage based on Corlys' behavior this episode however, she concedes that it doesn't have to be Laenor and everyone agrees: this dragon claiming plan wasn't well ... well planned. Pat teaches us how claiming a dragon is not unlike coming upon a bear in the woods and Sean declares that Targaryan's have steaks in their pockets. And LWB concludes the episode with a lesson on the timeline...again. 0:00:00 Intro & Criston Cole 0:16:20 Summaries 0:24:29 Dragon Western & Poor Planning 0:45:15 Alicent 0:49:30 Aemond & the Smaller Council 1:13:21 Aegon's PT 1:31:26 The Call for Dragon Seeds 2:10:31 The Red Sowing & Aemond 2:18:56 Rabbit Holes & Hyperfixations 2:43:36 Conclusion The Silent Sisters Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TheBlueLemonTree: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AO3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Recording, editing, and mixing were done by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LittleWolfBird⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by Mattstagraham⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Profile Art by Mondongo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Credit to George R.

The dragon rider recruitment continues for Team Black, while Set Oscar Tully pays Daemon a visit, Alicent visits the Kingswood to find purpose, and Rhaena ventures off on her own. Both sides deal with the tragic aftermath of Jaehaerys death, with 's side getting the brunt of the bad PR. Otto is removed as hand of the king. Daemon flies away. Cole continues to empower himself.

In today's podcast we will be finding out just how much we still have to do as nation and as a planet to hit our net zero carbon emission targets and really start to reverse the clearly catastrophic impacts of a changing climate.My guest today is the Rt Hon Chris Skidmore, former MP for Kingswood in South Gloucestershire and the man who, as interim Minister of State for Energy and Clean Growth in 2019, signed into law the UK's legally binding target of hitting net zero emissions by 2050. He has held a number of government roles in his parliamentary career – notably Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation and then for Health under Boris Johnson, but returned to the backbenches in 2020.It was from there that he authored the well-thumbed Mission Zero review of government's net-zero strategy – a hard hitting tome that it's fair to say wasn't entirely well received by those in charge of the strategy.Chris resigned as an MP earlier this year in protest at the government's stance on new offshore petroleum licensing. Nowadays he's very busy championing the net-zero cause and missing few opportunities to get that vital message across ResourcesMission Zero reportBetter Earth' initiative launched in EdieMission Zero CoalitionBuilding the Future, Lessons for a Buildings Breakthrough report

Does the murder of Alexei Navalny signal the end or a new beginning of anti Putin activism in Russia? Is it also a wake up call for those of us in the West who have taken our eyes off the developments in Russia, Ukraine, and the destabilization of the region?Despite the row over accusations of antisemitic statements by prospective Parliamentary candidates the Labour Party romped to two outstanding victories in the Kingswood and Wellingborough by-elections. We examine Rishi Sunak's response to these losses and ask if he might call a snap election. If he is still Tory leader.Meanwhile Scottish Labour held its annual conference with a significant focus on Anas Sarwar as leader. Sarwar was quite willing to state his willingness to stand up to Starmer. Will this show of independence stretch to his two Scottish MPs following the Scottish Labour conference position and voting with the SNP on its motion calling for an immediate Gaza ceasefire?In response to Scottish Labour's plans for a windfall tax on oil profits, more than 800 oil ,engineering, and business executives have raised concerns that this could lead to massive job losses in the North East. The SNP is even more committed to phasing out of oil and gas production in an independent Scotland. We ask where stands the Just Transition and the development of local industry and training?All this plus the origins and consequences of the Right to Buy policy and the thorny question of Ullapool and its train station.If you want to see Lesley's Denmark movie check out this linkhttps://lesleyriddoch.com/events ★ Support this podcast ★

Nick Cohen gets The Lowdown  from Professor Tim Bale of the Queen Mary University of London, who is widely looked on as the UK's keenest academic observer of the Conservative Party.The Tories have been left reeling and predictably even more mutinous by their  catastrophic defeats in last week's two by-elections in their hitherto safe seats of Kingswood in south Gloucestershire and Wellingborough in north Northamptonshire.Not only did they lose Kingswood with a 16.4 % swing, where Labour only needed a relatively modest 11-point swing. They also lost Wellingborough, where the swing was 28.5% - the second highest swing from Conservative to Labour in any post-war by-election.Tim - @ProfTimBale - discusses the shatteringly few options now left open to an incompetent populist governing party that is becoming more and more loathed by voters.  Seemingly, all they have left to clutch are the meagre straws of their deranged Rwanda policy and the tattered flag of a failed Brexit project. So, will delaying Rishi Sunak's inevitable day of judgement only make a terrible situation even worse?Tim's latest book The Conservative Party after Brexit  (published by Polity) charts the Party's dizzying descent into populist and radical hard right Brexit populism. Support the showListen to The Lowdown from Nick Cohen for in-depth analysis of the issues and events that shape our lives and futures. From Ukraine to Brexit, from Trump to the Tories - we hope to keep you informed - and sane! @NickCohen4

And if so, what does this tell us about British politics today? Cindy Yu talks to James Heale and author and former cabinet minister, Nadine Dorries. Produced by Cindy Yu and Patrick Gibbons.

A double by-election battering for the government has made this a very bad week for Rishi Sunak. The loss of Kingswood and Wellingborough to Labour followed the news that the UK has fallen into recession. Conservative backbenchers are restless. And the polls are showing no signs shifting. Chris Cook of the Financial Times joins the podcast team to explore just how much trouble the prime minister is in – and what he can do to turn things around as a general election approaches. While the week ended on a high for Keir Starmer, it has not been a happy time for the Labour leader. Far from it. The selection - and then slow rejection - of Labour's candidate in the Rochdale by-election has put Starmer under pressure – and left Labour without a candidate. So who is to blame for this clumsy handling of an increasingly embarrassing situation? Gemma Tetlow presents with Catherine Haddon and Giles Wilkes. Produced by Candice McKenzie.

What's at stake in the next general election for UK climate policy? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Rt. Hon. Chris Skidmore MP, former Minister and Chair of the UK Net Zero Review, about why it's critical that the UK maintain its international climate leadership; what should the UK do about domestic oil and gas production in another energy security crisis; and how the UK can respond to the US and EU clean energy stimulus programmes. The Right Honourable Chris Skidmore is the Conservative Member of Parliament for Kingswood. He was the UK's former Energy and Clean Growth Minister attending cabinet who signed the UK's net zero commitment into law in June 2019, and also served as Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation twice between 2018 and 2020. In September 2022 he was appointed Chair of the Net Zero Review, an independent review into the delivery of UK net zero climate commitments. The report of the review, Mission Zero, was published in January 2023.

Episode 338: Since 2001, Debra Ross has been publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, America's online resource for families who want to know about all of the opportunities for kids in their local area, and (since 2016) of BeyondTheNest.com, for grownups who want to know about arts, culture, and recreation where they live. This web network has regional sites in 45 cities in the US and Canada, with (as of Feb 2023) 15 million visitors per year (85% parents, 15% grandparents, 82% women) and 750,000 recipients of a free weekly e-newsletter telling recipients what's happening locally for kids, teens, and families. Debra's expertise is in community visibility and cheerleading, data analytics, and information resource management. She is Co-Chair of the American Astronomical Society's Solar Eclipse Task Force for the 2023 annular and 2024 solar eclipses and Chair of the Rochester Eclipse Task Force 2024. Named after the iconic Angela Davis, Angela Speck likes bright colors, is a nerd at heart, and has wanted to be an astronaut since she was five years old. Originally from Yorkshire (England), she went to college in London, where she was able to pursue her childhood dreams by majoring in astrophysics. After a brief stint as an r&d technician in a Lancashire company run by crazy new-age hippies, she returned to London and completed a Ph.D. in astronomy. After a postdoc at the University of Illinois and 17 years on the faculty at the University of Missouri, she is now the Chair of the Physics & Astronomy Department at UT San Antonio. She has also been the co-chair of a national task force on solar eclipses since 2014. Throughout her career, she has pursued research and teaching of astrophysics and continues to share her passion for all things extra-terrestrial. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Angela Speck and Debra Ross about how they are preparing for the 2024 solar eclipse. We discuss how destination marketers can share information about eclipse events locally and nationally, and we cover lessons learned from the 2017 eclipse visitor data.   What You Will Learn in this Episode: How the upcoming eclipse can help create a sense of unity and connection within a community Key marketing lessons learned from the 2017 eclipse and what DMOs can do differently in 2024 What communities can do to maximize the experience for locals and visitors The importance of targeted outreach and educating people about the significance of the eclipse path, which is much more populated in 2024 than it was in 2017 How DMOs can leverage pre-existing stories and experiences to communicate the value of participating in the 2024 eclipse   Sharing Your Community Values During her interview on the Destination on the Left podcast, Debra Ross shared a powerful anecdote about the town of Kingswood and their approach to the solar eclipse. With a strong sense of community, the town sent teenagers on bicycles to distribute eclipse glasses to residents and visitors, ensuring everyone could safely experience the event. This initiative showcased their commitment to inclusivity and creating a shared experience. This highlighted how communities can demonstrate their true essence and foster a stronger sense of unity through how they present themselves to visitors. Debra is looking to convey a similar sense of unity and connection within her own community and has since been involved in helping other communities make their messaging fun, clever, and authentic in preparation for the 2024 eclipse. Telling the Eclipse Story in 2024 On the podcast, Angela emphasizes the importance of targeted outreach and educating people about the significance of the eclipse path. So many people missed out on being within the path of the 2017 eclipse, and the upcoming 2024 eclipse is already a hot topic of conversation amongst the general population, not just the scientific community. To help engage as many people as possible, DMOs should build upon pre-existing stories and experiences. By reinforcing the message that they are not starting from scratch, marketers can more effectively communicate the importance of being within the eclipse path and ensure that people understand the value of participating in the 2024 eclipse.

This was a time of persecution against dissenters from the English church and his father was, you may recall, often hunted and jailed during this time. And Emmanuel, even as a boy, supported his father's work. A story is told of him acting as a watchman for his father as he preached out of doors to the Kingswood coal miners. He was only 7 at the time and because it was so cold his coat froze to the ground and he could not properly warn the meeting.
