Whilst a certain noisy northern mayor has positioned himself as the problem child of conference 2025, The Spectator finds another Labour politician far more interesting. All around Liverpool the newsstands are decorated by the image of the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, dubbed the ‘Terminator' by Tim Shipman in the most recent issue of The Spectator. As one strategist notes: ‘Shabana is not afraid to use power. That's what we need.'In this special edition of Coffee House Shots we present a wide-ranging in-conversation between Shabana Mahmood and Spectator editor Michael Gove. Listen for: how to tackle the ‘Boriswave', whether the Home Office is fit for purpose, Shabana's compelling case for digital ID cards and her response to Keir Starmer's claim that Reform are ‘racist'.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElroy.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Labour party conference has kicked off in Liverpool, and the Chancellor has just delivered her keynote speech.‘Security, security, security' was the message from Rachel Reeves as she addressed the Labour party faithful. The Labour government, she said, will create an economy that puts the British worker above all else. Aside from setting out her economic vision, she made time for a few jabs in Manchester mayor Andy Burnham's direction and gave a nod to shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson (should we take that as an endorsement?). Has she been taking notes from Gordon Brown?Elsewhere, the mood in the bars is much more buoyant than it was last year – although that has a lot to do with the absence of Sue Gray. Starmer's change of tack and taking the fight to reform on indefinite leave to remain, as well as the announcement of some juicy bits of policy, seems to have placated many. But is conference just a holiday from reality?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The chancellor used her speech to define the Labour party in opposition to Reform and the Conservatives, and Shabana Mahmood the home secretary aimed to redefine patriotism in her speech, in hopes of clawing back voters lost to Farage's party.Meanwhile, Andy Burnham has been making headlines on the fringes.LISTEN AD-FREE:

#NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourConference #UKPolitics #ReformUK #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE #Starmerout The Labour Conference is turning into the Farage Show! Keir Starmer can't stop talking about Nigel Farage — branding him “racist” and “grubby” over his call to reform right-to-remain rules. Now Rachel Reeves and David Lammy have joined in the attacks. But the reality? Farage is living rent-free in Labour's head. Latest polls show if there were an election today, Nigel Farage would be heading for Number 10. Meanwhile, Starmer risks alienating millions of voters by smearing everyone concerned about mass immigration as “racist.” To make things even messier, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is now proposing immigration rules almost identical to Farage's. So… is she a “racist” too? Join Jon Gaunt as he breaks down the chaos, the polls, and why Farage has become the unexpected star of Labour's big event. #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourConference #UKPolitics #ReformUK #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE #Starmerout #ImmigrationDebate #SmallBoatsCrisis #RachelReeves #DavidLammy #HomeSecretary #MassImmigration #LabourParty #ConservativeParty #BritishPoliticsLive #FaragevsStarmer #FarageSpeech #LabourConference #UKPolls #UKImmigrationCrisis #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Labour Conference, Starmer Out, UK Politics, Reform UK, Jon Gaunt, Shabana Mahmood, Live, Immigration Debate, Small Boats Crisis, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Home Secretary, Mass Immigration, Labour Party, Conservative Party, British Politics Live, Farage vs Starmer, Farage Speech, Labour Conference, UK Polls, UK Immigration Crisis, Jon Gaunt, Shabana Mahmood, LIVE This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

In the early years of Blair's premiership, his supporters liked to refer to Britain as ‘Cool Britannia', in a play on the title of the song ‘Rule Britannia'. Last week, we talked about some of the cooler things the Blair government did at this time, including the breakthrough in the Northern Irish peace process, specifically the Good Friday Agreement.This week, we look at some of the distinctly uncool aspects of its rule and, funnily enough, we'll focus for much of the episode on Northern Ireland again. This time, though, we'll talk about what happened to the person who, perhaps more than any other, made sure the Agreement was reached, Mo Mowlam. And her treatment might well be regarded as far from cool.One of the uncool parts of it was that she was replaced by Peter Mandelson. He's been in the news again in our time, forced to resign for the third time from a political appointment, this time as ambassador to the US. But the first time he was forced to resign, over a financial scandal which was uncool enough, it was just ten months before he came back into government, taking over from Mowlam, which made it uncooler still.Just as uncool was the Ecclestone scandal, where Blair tried to help out the boss of Formula 1 racing, who'd made a large contribution to the Labour Party. What made that particularly uncool was that Blair denied that he'd made the decision to help Ecclestone very quickly, before handing back his donation, and the truth only came out thanks to a Freedom of Information request. And though he introduced the Freedom of Information Act, he later kicked himself for doing it, which was even more uncool.Plenty that wasn't cool, then, in Cool Britannia. For the passage on Northern Ireland, and specifically on Mo Mowlam, from the video of Blair's speech to the 1998 Labour Conference, take a look at:https://www.c-span.org/program/international-telecasts/labour-party-conference/118168Illustration: A photo taken shortly before the bomb blast in Omagh.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces increasing pressure over his leadership of the Labour Party as Reform UK leads opinion polls.

Today, the prime minister warned that Reform UK “will tear this country apart” ahead of the Labour party conference. Sir Keir Starmer said the conference would be an opportunity to show Labour's alternative to the "toxic divide and decline" offered by Nigel Farage's party.

Laura and Paddy are joined by former pollster to Clinton, Blair and Mandela, Stan Greenberg, to discuss Starmer's strategy.He also explains in what direction he thinks the Democrat party should head.

Decarbonising power by 2030 is one of the flagship policies for Keir Starmer's government. Whether this is achievable and how we go about the green transition will impact ten of thousands of jobs and everybody's energy bills. So just how do they plan on reaching this ambitious target? Gary Smith, general secretary of the GMB, argues that there is a fundamental dishonesty about the route to net zero, with communities being hollowed out and the working class left behind. All of this has resulted in fertile ground for the far right.   The Spectator's editor Fraser Nelson sat down with Gary Smith at Labour conference last week, to give an alternative take on the net zero debate.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question, live from the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, are the Paymaster General Nick Thomas-Symonds, the Communication Workers Union's General Secretary Dave Ward and the newly-elected Labour MP Mike Tapp.

Sir Keir Starmer was surely hoping Labour's conference would be a celebration of his landslide election victory - but with bitter briefings against his chief of staff Sue Gray coming from within No 10, more stories of ministers taking freebie gifts and a potential union rebellion over the winter fuel allowance - the new prime minister could face a very different reception in Liverpool. And on top of all these domestic issues, the war in the Middle East is on the brink of spilling over into a wider war - with many delegates at conference demanding a stronger position from this government on trying to bring about peace. On this special edition of the Political Fourcast from Labour Conference in Liverpool, Krishna Guru-Murthy is joined by Labour's Emily Thornberry, who has held several shadow cabinet roles over the years and has just become chair of the influential Foreign Affairs Select Committee, and Katy Balls - the political editor of The Spectator.  Produced by Calum Fraser, Shaheen Sattar, Silvia Maresca, Rob Thomson
