Trump has swamped the U.S. in corruption - Nick Cohen argues that the UK must act now to escape the same fate Nick Cohen delves into the history of past political donations as he argues that the UK must do all it can not to be plunged into the brazen corruption of Donald Trump's crooked White House.The controversial gift of £1 million to the Labour Party by former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone produced an exception to a tobacco-advertising ban for Formula One. Uniquely among Western democracies, Britain also lets money purchase a seat in the legislature through peerages; the odds that such honours were coincidental were once put at winning the lottery jackpot five times running. Because big money in politics was never cleaned up, Cohen says, we now live in an age of extreme wealth in which sums that are rounding errors to crypto billionaires can buy an entire party.CRYPTO-SLEAZE & REFORMNick says there is rightly deep concern over the unprecedented funds being showered on Reform by shadowy foreign-based: Christopher Harborne a main investor in the Tether stablecoin firm, has recently pledged £36 million, on top of an earlier £5 million personal gift to Farage, and earlier donations to Reform totalling £12million. The total amount to Reform and Farage would total a staggering £53 million! The Harborne £36 million is being matched by another crypto-billionaire, Ben Delo, co-founder and former chief executive of BitMEX. Delo pleaded guilty in 2023 to U.S. anti-corruption charges over failed anti-money-laundering controls and was later pardoned by Donald Trump. Farage, whom Nick Cohen calls Trump's acolyte, then lobbies the Bank of England against a digital pound that would compete with his patrons' products and presses for capital-gains-tax cuts on crypto. Both Harborne and Delo have indicated they will move back to the UK so their huge donations can be valid, and legally made under current UK electoral law.Labour, despite a huge Commons majority, is not closing the loophole that currently allows foreign based donors to move to the UK in order to make a donation because it too lives off big money. An insider account of the 2024 campaign records Angela Rayner's proposed ban on foreign donations being pulled after Labour's then-biggest donor, Lord Ali, objected. Nick finds a mere foreign-donor ban inadequate anyway: money has no smell, and a gift from Thailand or Hong Kong does not become virtuous if the donor moves to Britain. He wants a hard cap on donations regardless of source—even if that hurts trade unions—plus more public funding of parties, building on existing Short Money. If a Labour government will not do that, he asks, what is the point of it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ANDY: STOP SHARING THE PROBLEM — LOCK THEM UP OR CHUCK THEM OUT! #AndyBurnham #Piddington #AsylumCrisis #IllegalImmigration #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #DeterDetainDeport Piddington has roared—but is Andy Burnham listening? By 285 votes to just 26, residents delivered a devastating rejection of plans to dump a massive asylum centre on their doorstep. Yet Burnham's answer is that communities across Britain must "share" the problem. No, Andy. We don't want the problem shared. We want it stopped! Moving undocumented men from hotels into towns, villages and military camps across Britain does not solve the crisis. It merely spreads the risk, spreads the fear and spreads the anger. It is not racist to demand secure borders. It is not unreasonable to demand identification. And it is not "far right" to say that entering Britain illegally without documents or a verified identity must have serious consequences. Simply uttering the words "I am seeking asylum" cannot be treated as a magic password granting entry into Britain, years of taxpayer-funded accommodation and endless appeals. The solution is simple: DETER. DETAIN. DECIDE. DEPORT. Anyone arriving illegally without a verified identity should be placed in a secure, locked and properly controlled centre while we establish who they are and decide their claim. If the claim is accepted, they enter through the proper legal process. If it fails, they are deported—immediately. No hotel. No disappearing act. No endless legal merry-go-round. Britain's first duty is not to illegal arrivals, activist lawyers or Burnham's hand-wringing liberal friends. The first duty of any government is the safety and security of the British people. Piddington's vote may be symbolic, but the fury behind it is real. People are sick of being ignored, insulted and ordered to accept decisions imposed upon their communities without meaningful consent. Burnham needs to wake up. If politicians continue dismissing legitimate fears and forcing this failed policy upon unwilling communities, they will drive tensions through the roof. Stop spreading the problem. Stop the boats. Secure the camps. Decide the claims quickly—and chuck out everyone who has no right to remain. Join Jon Gaunt and tell me: Should everybody arriving illegally without verified identification be securely detained until their claim is decided? LIKE. COMMENT. SUBSCRIBE. It's time Britain fought back! #AndyBurnham #Piddington #PiddingtonVote #AsylumCrisis #IllegalImmigration #StopTheBoats #SecureBorders #DetainAndDeport #MigrantCamps #AsylumSeekers #UKBorders #BorderCrisis #ImmigrationDebate #BritishPolitics #LabourGovernment #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LiveDebate #DeterDetainDeport #FailedAsylumSeekers Andy Burnham, Piddington, Piddington vote, Piddington referendum, Principality of Piddington, Piddington asylum centre, Piddington migrant camp, asylum crisis, illegal immigration, illegal migrants, undocumented migrants, Stop the Boats, secure borders, migrant detention centres, asylum seeker accommodation, detain and deport, Deter Detain Decide Deport, failed asylum seekers, deportation, UK border crisis, immigration debate, Labour immigration policy, British politics, migrant hotels, military camps, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, live political debate, lock them up or chuck them out, 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.

In today's edition of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss the warning to the Prime Minister from Andy Haldane, a former Bank of England economist, not to raise taxes in his attempt to find an extra £10bn to fund next month's Budget.Jacob explains why he believes the triple lock is effectively dead, and why Andy Burnham should be taking notes from Sir Keir Starmer on how to handle Donald Trump before his first meeting with the US president next week.Plus Jacob addresses whether he is middle-class or not.You can get tickets to The Daily T On The Road Sunday Showdown at Labour conference with Bridget Phillipson at telegraph.co.uk/partyconferences.► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Investor Q&A: Garden Suites, Ontario Real Estate, Exit Plans & More Today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show is a full investor Q&A. Wayne and Gabby answer questions live from Canadian real estate investors about: How to eventually exit a real estate portfolio Capital gains and tax planning When to use a financial planner Ontario real estate investing Variable vs fixed mortgage rates Corporations and rental properties Saskatchewan real estate Garage door replacement costs Assignment deals Edmonton garden suites And how investors can use education to recognize opportunities faster The biggest theme throughout today's show is simple: Ask better questions, get better information, and keep moving forward. What Does an Exit Plan From Real Estate Look Like? Craig asks: What is a realistic exit plan when you're done investing in real estate? Or are you ever actually done? Wayne's answer depends heavily on what the investor wants next. Some investors may want to: Sell everything Convert the portfolio into cash Move into lower-maintenance investments Create retirement income Keep real estate but simplify Hand assets down to family Continue holding for cash flow If the plan is to fully liquidate, Wayne recommends building the plan with the right professionals before selling. That could include: An investor-focused accountant A qualified financial planner A wealth-planning professional A real estate coach who understands long-term portfolio planning The key is knowing what the money is supposed to do after the properties are sold. Don't Forget the Tax Bill Wayne emphasizes that investors should not assume every dollar from a property sale becomes spendable cash. There may be: Capital gains tax Capital cost allowance recapture Legal fees Realtor commissions Mortgage discharge costs Other closing costs If you sell several properties at once, those tax implications can become significant. Talk to an investor-focused accountant before liquidating so you know what your actual net proceeds will be. Selling Is Easy. Planning What Happens Next Is Harder. The mechanics of selling real estate are relatively straightforward. Hire the appropriate broker or realtor. List the properties. Sell them. The harder part is deciding what happens to the capital afterward. If somebody sells a portfolio and ends up with several million dollars, they need to know whether that money is intended to: Grow. Generate income. Preserve wealth. Fund retirement. Support family. Or move into another investment vehicle. The answer should be based on the investor's goals, not a generic product recommendation. Be Careful Who You Take Financial Advice From Wayne also warns investors to be cautious with titles like: "Wealth planner." "Investment strategist." "Financial expert." A title does not automatically mean somebody has real experience. Make sure the person has actual qualifications and understands what you are trying to accomplish. The goal should be building the right plan, not simply moving your money into whatever product that person happens to sell. Kyla and Fabian Complete Their First Assignment Deal Kyla shares a big win during the live show. She and Fabian recently completed their first wholesale assignment. The deal came through a lead-generation system they originally built to find properties for their own fix-and-flip business. Normally they would have purchased the property, renovated it, and sold it. Instead, they recognized a different opportunity. They assigned the contract to another investor for: $10,000. No renovation. No construction risk. No holding costs. No resale risk. Just fast cash. Wayne explains that this is exactly what happens when investors understand multiple strategies. As Barry McGuire says: "If you understand the strategies, you recognize the opportunities." Pivoting vs Giving Up Wayne also talks about why he generally dislikes the word "pivot." Too often, people use "pivot" to describe quitting when something gets difficult. They start moving toward one goal. Hit resistance. Then change direction. Hit resistance again. Change direction again. Eventually they never reach any destination. That is different from recognizing a genuinely better path. Kyla and Fabian were not abandoning their business. They recognized that assigning the contract produced a faster, easier return with less risk. That is not quitting. That is making a better business decision. Garage Door Replacement Costs A live viewer asks about the rough cost of replacing a garage door. Wayne estimates approximately: Single garage door supplied and installed: $2,000–$2,700 plus applicable tax Insulated double garage door supplied and installed: Approximately $2,700–$3,500 plus applicable tax Labour-only costs may vary significantly by contractor and location. These are rough estimates and should be confirmed locally. Would Wayne Invest in Ontario? Another listener asks: What do you think about Ontario real estate? Would you invest there? Wayne's short answer: He has researched it. But he does not personally want to operate a rental-property business there. The biggest issue is not necessarily the individual property. It is the regulatory environment. One of Wayne's core investment fundamentals is investing in a jurisdiction that supports the operation of the business. If the landlord and tenant laws create too much operational risk, that can be enough for Wayne to move on. Real Estate Is a Business Wayne explains the distinction again: He is not simply buying an asset and hoping it goes up in value. He is operating a rental business inside that asset. That means the laws governing the business matter. If the province limits: Rent increases Lease termination Enforcement Non-payment remedies Control over the asset Then that becomes a major part of the investment risk. Ontario Real Estate Is in an "Ice Age" Wayne describes much of Ontario's real estate market as being in an "ice age" right now. That does not mean every market in Ontario is identical. It means affordability has become severely disconnected from property values in many areas. After the pandemic, very low borrowing costs and pent-up demand caused prices to accelerate rapidly. Prices then moved beyond what many households could realistically afford. Now the market needs time to rebalance. Wayne believes the long-term opportunity may return, but affordability, borrowing costs and income all need to move back into a healthier relationship. Garden Suites Explained Another listener asks: How do garden suites work? A garden suite is an additional residential unit built on the same property as an existing house. It can be: Ground-level Above a garage A garage suite A duplex-style garden suite Multiple units, where municipal rules allow The exact rules depend on the municipality. Edmonton's Garden Suite Opportunity Wayne explains that Edmonton currently offers a very unusual opportunity because recent zoning changes allow multiple garden-suite units on certain lots. This allows investors to do something that is not currently possible in the same way in most Canadian cities. Instead of simply building one small backyard suite, investors may be able to create: Duplex garden suites Multiple ground-level suites Multi-unit garage suites Four-plex garden suites Wayne and his team recently completed their first four-plex garden-suite project. Why Wayne Built Edmonton Garden Suites Wayne explains that he began developing this strategy when he saw traditional investment opportunities becoming harder to find. He spent approximately two years working through: Design Zoning Permits Construction Builder selection Cost control Financing Appraisal strategy Rental projections The result became Edmonton Garden Suites. Four-Plex Garden Suites Wayne says the multi-unit model is where the investment economics become substantially more attractive. Rather than building one unit in the backyard, multiple units create much more rental income. Wayne says certain projects may be able to create approximately: $250,000 in equity upon completion with some projects potentially creating even more. He also discusses potential cash flow of more than: $1,500 per month when the right property, development model and financing are used. These results are project-specific and depend heavily on acquisition cost, construction cost, financing, appraisal, rents and execution. Edmonton Garden Suites Is a Limited Window Wayne believes this opportunity exists because of current City of Edmonton zoning rules. Those rules can change. If the city changes the rules in the future, the strategy may no longer be available in its current form. That is why Wayne sees the current period as a window of opportunity. For more information: www.edmontongardensuites.com Should Rental Properties Be Owned in a Corporation? A listener asks: How many rental properties should you own before creating a corporation? Wayne's answer: Zero. For passive rental properties, Wayne generally prefers personal ownership or joint ventures using personal ownership where possible. His view is that corporate ownership often creates less favourable tax treatment for passive rental income. He says corporate ownership can become relevant when an investor can no longer qualify personally or when the structure is required for another reason. Before making any ownership decision, investors should speak with a qualified accountant and lawyer about their specific situation. Variable or Fixed Rates? A listener asks whether they should move out of variable-rate mortgages. Wayne explains that he personally remains in variable mortgages. He does not present that as a recommendation for everyone. The correct financing decision depends on: Risk tolerance Cash flow Portfolio structure Time horizon Future purchases Mortgage terms Personal financial situation Tomorrow's Morning Show will feature investor-focused mortgage broker Keaton Kirkwood to discuss rising fixed rates and how investors can prepare their portfolios. What About Saskatchewan? Wayne says he likes Saskatchewan. He believes Regina and Saskatoon can offer strong real estate and rental fundamentals. But if he compared Saskatchewan with Alberta today, he would still choose Alberta. His reasoning is simple: If two markets are relatively close in quality, Wayne prefers investing in the market that currently produces the strongest overall result. He will continue investing there until that changes. Then he will move to the next market. Tomorrow: Rising Interest Rates Tomorrow's Morning Show will feature: Keaton Kirkwood of Kirkwood & Brennan Mortgage Group The conversation will focus on rising fixed mortgage rates and what real estate investors can do to: Protect cash flow Prepare for renewals Structure financing Continue buying Avoid letting higher borrowing costs derail the long-term plan REI Masters Mentorship Work directly with Wayne and Gabby on acquisitions, financing, market selection, joint ventures, wholesaling, property management, garden suites and building a profitable Canadian real estate portfolio. www.reimasters.ca Edmonton Garden Suites Learn more about Wayne's multi-unit Edmonton garden suite strategy: www.edmontongardensuites.com The 5% Rule™ Learn Wayne Hillier's rental-property cash-flow framework.

This Saturday, the National Epilepsy Conference will take place in Cork. One of its speakers is Labour TD for Cork North, Eoghan Kenny, who joins Seán to discuss his own experience of living with epilepsy.

National's deputy leader Nicola Willis has promised more than 2000 new nurses will be on the job by the end of the year. Labour has been critical of the government's record on hiring nurses. Labour's health spokesperson Ayesha Verrall spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

On today's episode Labour's Ayesha Verrall on state of health system; Pak'nSave Tauranga owner responds to National's new policy; Fiji govt declares national HIV emergency; Treaty law changes put government agenda under pressure; Electric Avenue line up announced.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Chris Clarke and Sarah Sparks.

And, are school-issued apps required on parents' phones all getting a bit much? Katrina Colombie thinks so. She's the managing director of Smartphone Free Childhood Aotearoa New Zealand. Finally, a one-armed mannequin is stealing the show at a South Taranaki Museum exhibition on the history of healthcare in the region.

God bless you as you listen to this life changing message preached at the Victory Secrets Service at the Poimen Church Gambia

This Saturday, the National Epilepsy Conference will take place in Cork. One of its speakers is Labour TD for Cork North, Eoghan Kenny, who joins Seán to discuss his own experience of living with epilepsy.

Here is a full episode of Free to Disagree, our new weekly show with Oliver Hartwich and Damien Grant. National has announced it would split Foodstuffs into separate Pak'nSave and New World chains, in the name of more competition. Oliver and Damien ask whether breaking up a family-owned cooperative is likely to persuade an Aldi or a Lidl to come here, or convince them to stay away for good. Next, Oliver watched every party leader speak at a recent conference, and came away wondering why the campaign is being fought on such small ground. And finally, plans to overhaul the 2028 census have fallen apart after Labour withdrew support, and they ask whether the country still needs one. Free to Disagree is a weekly conversation about New Zealand politics and economics with Oliver Hartwich and Damien Grant. Two friends on broadly the same side of politics who find plenty to disagree about anyway. Each week they discuss three big issues, leading up to the election.

Rather than building one unit in the backyard, multiple units create much more rental income. Wayne says certain projects may be able to create approximately: $250,000 in equity upon completion with some projects potentially creating even more. He also discusses potential cash flow of more than: $1,500 per month when the right property, development model and financing are used. These results are project-specific and depend heavily on acquisition cost, construction cost, financing, appraisal, rents and execution. Edmonton Garden Suites Is a Limited Window Wayne believes this opportunity exists because of current City of Edmonton zoning rules. Those rules can change. If the city changes the rules in the future, the strategy may no longer be available in its current form. That is why Wayne sees the current period as a window of opportunity. For more information: www.edmontongardensuites.com Should Rental Properties Be Owned in a Corporation? A listener asks: How many rental properties should you own before creating a corporation? Wayne's answer: Zero. For passive rental properties, Wayne generally prefers personal ownership or joint ventures using personal ownership where possible. His view is that corporate ownership often creates less favourable tax treatment for passive rental income. He says corporate ownership can become relevant when an investor can no longer qualify personally or when the structure is required for another reason. Before making any ownership decision, investors should speak with a qualified accountant and lawyer about their specific situation. Variable or Fixed Rates? A listener asks whether they should move out of variable-rate mortgages. Wayne explains that he personally remains in variable mortgages. He does not present that as a recommendation for everyone. The correct financing decision depends on: Risk tolerance Cash flow Portfolio structure Time horizon Future purchases Mortgage terms Personal financial situation Tomorrow's Morning Show will feature investor-focused mortgage broker Keaton Kirkwood to discuss rising fixed rates and how investors can prepare their portfolios. What About Saskatchewan? Wayne says he likes Saskatchewan. He believes Regina and Saskatoon can offer strong real estate and rental fundamentals. But if he compared Saskatchewan with Alberta today, he would still choose Alberta. His reasoning is simple: If two markets are relatively close in quality, Wayne prefers investing in the market that currently produces the strongest overall result. He will continue investing there until that changes. Then he will move to the next market. Tomorrow: Rising Interest Rates Tomorrow's Morning Show will feature: Keaton Kirkwood of Kirkwood & Brennan Mortgage Group The conversation will focus on rising fixed mortgage rates and what real estate investors can do to: Protect cash flow Prepare for renewals Structure financing Continue buying Avoid letting higher borrowing costs derail the long-term plan REI Masters Mentorship Work directly with Wayne and Gabby on acquisitions, financing, market selection, joint ventures, wholesaling, property management, garden suites and building a profitable Canadian real estate portfolio. www.reimasters.ca Edmonton Garden Suites Learn more about Wayne's multi-unit Edmonton garden suite strategy: www.edmontongardensuites.com The 5% Rule™ Learn Wayne Hillier's rental-property cash-flow framework.

Labour is facing growing criticism from rural Britain, with the Countryside Alliance calling for a ‘rural reset' between the government and the countryside.Noa Hoffman and James Heale are joined by Tory peer and Countryside Alliance chairman Nick Herbert to discuss why Labour has lost the trust of rural communities - from the family farm tax and trail hunting to plans to licence game shooting. They ask whether Labour's new approach under Andy Burnham can repair the relationship, and examine why politicians need to stop treating rural Britain as the enemy.Produced by Abigail Brierley.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In today's edition of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Tim McNally, the chairman of Piddington parish council, who explains why he is going for the “political jugular” by holding a symbolic referendum on the village leaving the UK.He says the Government's proposals to house more than 1,200 migrants in the Oxfordshire village has prompted residents to plan to take self-defence classes and install a CCTV and an emergency alert system. Plus, Jacob explains why he feels that some of the residents have brought this problem on themselves.Elsewhere, Camilla sits down with Lucy Letby's barrister, Mark McDonald, following the release of Lady Justice Thirlwall's Inquiry report into the safety failings at the Countess of Chester Hospital. He argues the inquiry was flawed from the start because it refused to question Letby's convictions, relied on prosecution narrative hypotheses, and denied Letby the opportunity to participate as a core witness.You can get tickets to The Daily T On The Road Sunday Showdown at Labour conference with Bridget Phillipson at telegraph.co.uk/partyconferences.► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

We're going to start today's show by talking about political polls and whether they're reliable. This election is looking really close - and polls are consistently showing both National and Labour below the 30 percent mark. That means polls could take on an added importance .. helping shape narratives .. but how do we know we can trust them? Our next guest has concerns about who gets polled, how the numbers are calculated and who pays for the research. Ben Gray is an Associate Professor at University of Otago - for the past twenty years he has convened a course that covers appraisal of evidence, research ethics, cultural competence and health law.

As the TUC Congress continues in Brighton, some of Labour's big beasts have been baring their teeth – with Angela Rayner using an after-dinner speech to land some blows on defence secretary Wes Streeting.Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy reveal what was said and whether it was all taken in good fun....Meanwhile, the economic picture looks bleak as John Healey prepares for his first budget. Sam has a scoop on how one economic forecast could make or break his spending plans.And Reform remains ‘100% confident' two of the biggest donations in British political history were legal. But will that position shift as ministers face growing questions over how a proposed retrospective change in the law would work in practice?

Reform UK received a record-breaking £72 million in donations over the weekend from two crypto billionaires – meaning the party has received almost twice as much in 24 hours as all political parties combined have received in donations this year.Noa Hoffman and James Heale discuss how Reform will spend the money, the government's plans to cap political donations from British expats, and what the public makes of the party's massive cash injection.They also examine Kemi Badenoch's plans to potentially abolish inheritance tax, and how the policy could help the Conservatives distinguish themselves from Reform. Plus, what does Labour's ambitious housing target mean for Angela Rayner and the party?Produced by Abigail Brierley.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

NIGEL FARAGE IS LIVING RENT-FREE IN BIG ANG'S HEAD! GIVE US AN ELECTION! #NigelFarage #AngelaRayner #ReformUK #TUC #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV Angela Rayner went to the TUC Congress today—but instead of explaining how Labour will fix broken Britain, she launched yet another attack on Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Rayner accused Reform of threatening workers' rights, branded Farage's donors his "sugar daddies" and sneered: "If Farage will do you a Cameo for £70, just ask yourself what he'd do for £70 million." Honestly, Nigel Farage is living rent-free in Big Ang's head! Labour appears obsessed with stopping Reform, attacking its donors and changing the political funding rules—rather than confronting why millions of working-class voters have abandoned Labour in the first place. If Rayner and Labour are so certain that Reform doesn't represent working people, there is one simple solution: MAN UP. CALL A GENERAL ELECTION. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. Stop hiding behind speeches, smears and parliamentary manoeuvres. Put Labour's record against Reform's policies and allow the British public to deliver the verdict.

Labour must confront the far right & its fascism head-on - with Rafel BehrIn this week's Lowdown podcast, Nick Cohen talks to author and leading Guardian columnist Rafael Behr about the interconnectedness of ultra-capitalism and reactionary right-wing forces in politics. They discuss how both radicalised elderly voters nostalgic for the past and wealthy tech billionaires like Elon Musk are supporting extreme right-wing movements, creating a more dangerous political landscape than the "cosy" narrative of just elderly voters being concerned about change. Rafael analyses the Labour Party's failure to adequately confront far-right threats, particularly noting how they treat extreme right-wing protests as legitimate political expression rather than addressing the underlying fascism. Raf and Nick discuss how figures like Nigel Farage have been able to manipulate both mainstream and extreme right-wing voters, and discuss the lack of strong pushback from both Labour and Conservative parties against far-right influences, including Russian interference and extreme positions on immigration. They conclude by discussing their concerns about the need for clearer red lines against fascism and whether Labour leader Andy Burnham would articulate a stronger response to these sinister aspects of an increasingly transnational radical right.

NIGEL'S IN THE MONEY! RAYNER'S THROWING HER TOYS OUT OF THE PRAM! #NigelFarage #AngelaRayner #ReformUK #GeorgeOrwell #1984 #LordAlli #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  NIGEL'S IN THE MONEY! RAYNER'S THROWING HER TOYS OUT OF THE PRAM! KERCHING! Nigel Farage and Reform UK have received a staggering £72 MILLION from two British British British businessmen—and Angela Rayner and the Labour Westminster establishment are having a complete MELTDOWN! Two enormous £36 million donations mean Reform finally has the financial firepower to take on Labour, the Tories and the entire cosy political establishment. And they absolutely HATE it!  Reform says the donations were made legally under the rules. But Rayner is now suggesting that proposed legislation could operate retrospectively and potentially force some of that money to be returned. RETROSPECTIVELY! In about it: Reform accepts donations under the rules that exist today—then the Government introduces new rules and reaches backwards to claw the money back. This is straight out of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four: "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." Orwell also wrote: "Nothing was illegal, since there were no longer any laws.  Nobody is claiming that these donors committed a criminal offence. But retrospective punishment—changing the financial consequences after the event—is a dangerous road for any democracy to travel down.  If Labour can't beat Nigel Farage at the ballot box, is it now trying to cripple Reform financially instead? And spare me the sanctimonious lectures about wealthy donors and political influence. This is the same Labour Party that became embroiled in rows over free clothes, luxury accommodation and Lord Alli. Apparently, rich donors are perfectly acceptable when they're bankrolling Labour—but when British businessmen put their money behind Reform, it suddenly becomes a "threat to democracy"! What a load of hypocritical cobblers! Join me, Jon Gaunt, LIVE at 6 PM, as I tear into Rayner's tantrum and ask the question Labour doesn't want answered: IS THIS ABOUT PROTECTING DEMOCRACY—OR PROTECTING LABOUR FROM NIGEL FARAGE? Should political donations be capped in future? Should Reform keep every penny? And should any British government be allowed to change the rules retrospectively because it doesn't like the political consequences? I want YOUR views—LIVE, LOUD and completely uncensored!

William Moore is joined by The Spectator's economics editor Michael Simmons, The Spectator's commissioning editor and writer at large Tali Fraser, and the Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party Alex Burghart MP.This week: has Labour stopped just stopping oil? Michael reveals that ministers are expected to approve the Jackdaw gas field within days, while Rosebank is held back until after the by-election in Keir Starmer's old seat – and asks whether a party whose last energy secretary called the project 'climate vandalism' has really changed its mind, or has just found a half measure it can live with.Also: is Britain about to get a new social order? Tali examines the socio-economic duty, a dormant clause of the Equality Act that Labour now plans to switch on, requiring public bodies to weigh social background in every decision they make. The panel discuss what that would mean for school admissions, NHS waiting lists and potholes. Is this equality of outcome by the back door – or simply a charter for lawyers?Plus: after 900 years, is the Bayeux Tapestry worth the wait?Produced by Henry Lloyd. Hosted on Acast.

HOSPITALITY TAX: FARAGE SAYS NO — WILL BURNHAM TAX PUBS & HOTELS TO DEATH? #HospitalityTax #TouristTax #NigelFarage #ReformUK #AndyBurnham #UKHospitality #JonGaunt Nigel Farage has drawn a line in the sand: Reform UK mayors will NOT impose the new tourist tax. So what will Andy Burnham and Labour mayors do? The Government is giving mayors the power to impose an overnight visitor levy on hotels, B&Bs and holiday accommodation — and there will be NO nationally imposed cap on the percentage they can charge. Supporters say the money can be pumped back into transport, high streets and local communities. But Britain's hospitality industry is already being hammered by VAT, business rates, employment costs, energy bills and customers struggling with the cost of living. So why on earth would you make a British holiday MORE expensive? And here's the real political dividing line. FARAGE SAYS NO. If Reform mayors refuse to impose the levy, will Labour mayors introduce it? And if they do, what happens when a hotel in one mayoral area effectively becomes more expensive than a hotel down the road in a Reform-controlled area? UKHospitality is warning that a 5% levy could put tens of thousands of jobs at risk. Instead, the industry wants hospitality VAT slashed to 10%. Now THAT'S the debate Britain should be having. MORE TAX — OR LOWER TAX? Which one actually creates jobs, fills hotels, saves pubs and gets our high streets moving again? Jon Gaunt wants YOUR views. Would you deliberately book your hotel or weekend away in an area WITHOUT the tourist tax? And could this become another major dividing line between Nigel Farage and Andy Burnham?

BURNHAM & MILIBAND ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH UK THEY'RE DANGEROUS!  #AndyBurnham #EdMiliband #Labour #UKPolitics #Israel #Gaza ##JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  What planet are Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband living on?!  Britain has a border crisis. People are furious about illegal migration. We have protests and growing anger over what's happening in places like Dover and Portsmouth. Families are still being hammered by the cost of living. So what do Burnham and Miliband apparently think Britain needs right now? A FIGHT WITH ISRAEL!  Instead of concentrating relentlessly on our borders, illegal migration, law and order and the cost of living, they want to make Israel another huge political battleground. How does THAT make your food cheaper? How does THAT bring your energy bills down? How does THAT control our borders? How does THAT stop the boats? And what could damaging relations with an important security partner ultimately do to Britain's own security?  This is exactly what drives ordinary working people mad about modern politics. PERFORMATIVE POLITICS. GESTURES. POSTURING. EVERYTHING EXCEPT DEALING WITH THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORRIED ABOUT. Instead, once again, Labour politicians appear more interested in satisfying pressure from their own political flank over Gaza and Israel. Meanwhile the boats keep coming and ordinary people keep paying the bill. GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT! Jon Gaunt asks: are Burnham and Miliband simply out of touch — or are their priorities now becoming dangerous for Britain?

The Irish boxer Katie Taylor sold out Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday night. More than eighty thousand people turned out to see Katie perform one last spectacular time before she retires. Katie is considered by many as Ireland's greatest athlete and one of the greatest female boxers of all time. Nuala McGovern discusses Katie's career with Ireland's first female world boxing champion Deidre Gogarty - now a coach - and an inspiration to Katie as a child, and the sports writer, broadcaster, and boxing pundit Steve Bunce.Baroness Margaret Hodge's memoir is called Battleaxe - reclaiming a label once used against her by critics. The Labour life peer looks back on her 50 years as an elected representative; and her life from being born in Alexandria to Jewish parents, to arriving in post war Britain stateless, becoming the first Children's Minister and the first woman to chair the Public Accounts Committee, to arguing with Jeremy Corbyn over antisemitism. Now aged 81 and a member of the House of Lords, Baroness Hodge argues that politics can still be a force for good.Woman's Hour has a new series about the impact of having an absent father. The phrase 'daddy issues' is often used as a soundbite, but the reality behind it can be deeply complex. What can it mean when a father is missing from a daughter's life? We asked you for your stories. Julie wanted to tell us about the secret she had to keep for many years. She met her dad only a handful of times. He became a mystery that has absorbed her for as long as she can remember. She speaks to reporter Jo Morris.Presented by Nuala McGovern Producer: Louise Corley

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has consistently talked about what he sees as the wrong direction the country has been taken over the last 40 years.So as the new Chancellor John Healey prepares a speech for tomorrow setting out his plans for growth, we look at whether this government will be as different as it is being presented as.The new Conservative shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith is also trying to distance himself from the past. We compare the two approaches.And after more difficult questions for Reform UK and Nigel Farage over money, we ask where he goes from here and whether can recover from the damage they've caused.You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
