#KeirStarmer #Trump #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #ChickenStarmer #StarmerInEgypt #TrumpPeaceDeal #hamas  Keir Starmer is a coward — a CHICKEN — not a leader.  Instead of staying in Britain to face real problems — from violent protests and China spying allegations to the Mandelson scandal — he's running to Egypt to pose at Donald Trump's peace signing. Starmer had nothing to do with this deal and even undermined it by recognising Palestine too early. Now he wants a photo-op with Macron and Trump while dodging scrutiny and avoiding Parliament.  Why is “Never-Here Keir” desperate for attention on the world stage? Why hasn't he faced questions on China spying, hate marches, or the Mandelson affair? Why does he keep hiding behind others instead of leading? This is not leadership — it's cowardice. Starmer is running from Britain's problems and betraying the public.  

It's time to find out what Smartest Man Alive thinks about the world and learn how liberalism plans to right the ship of society, or something like that. Also, you'll never guess what but the AI Nerds and the Labour Party are both At It again. Plus Jamie is back from holiday, if you even care.

#Starmer #GazaProtests #BritishValues #BrokenBritain #UKPolitics #RobertJenrick #Jon Gaunt #Students Keir Starmer calls student Gaza protests “un-British.” But what does *British* even mean in 2025 — and who gets to decide? As protests erupt on the anniversary of the October 7 massacre, many say it's deeply insensitive. Starmer calls it “un-British.” But in a Broken Britain, where division runs deep, what are British values now? Robert Jenrick's “no white faces in Handsworth” comment reignited the debate over identity, immigration, and integration. Are we living separate lives? Does that lead to terror attacks. Should Starmer have been tougher on the protests? Should they even have been allowed? And how do we find shared values when illegal immigration, cultural clashes, and political hypocrisy dominate the headlines? Join the live debate — no filters, no spin.

Feminist campaigner and founder of Sex Ed Matters, Laura Coryton discusses the power of sisterhood, the books which have inspired her campaigning and why sex education in schools still needs to evolve. In 2014, Laura led the petition ‘Stop Taxing Periods' to end tampon tax, which gained over 300,000 signatures and support from major political figures including Barack Obama. The campaign successfully lobbied the government to abolish the tax in 2021, before which they established the ‘Tampon Tax Fund', through which almost £100 million pounds was donated to female-focused charities. Laura is an Obama Foundation European Leader and stood in the 2024 parliamentary election as the Labour Party candidate in Richmond Park. Her first book Speak Up! was published in 2019 and aims to inspire the next generation of female voices. Laura regularly speaks at schools about the experience and challenges of being a female campaigner, to advise and empower girls who might want to start their own campaigns or get involved with politics. Laura's book choices are: ** Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson ** The Inseparables by Simone de Beauvoir ** The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath ** Bone Black by bell hooks ** Women and Power by Mary Beard Vick Hope, multi-award winning TV and BBC Radio 1 presenter, author and journalist, is the host of season eight of the Women's Prize's BookshelfiePodcast.

The Conservative Party Conference is underway in Manchester where the Tories are in turmoil, trailing badly in the polls and staring down electoral oblivion as they are squeezed between Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Keir Starmer's Labour Party.  Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride joins Cathy Newman on this episode  of The Fourcast to explain how the Conservatives plan to regain momentum and rebuild their reputation as the party of economic competence — but is it too little, too late?

In this episode, Joti Brar, chair of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist CPGB-ML), discusses the compassionless media coverage of the genocide in Gaza and the obfuscation of the horrors of the siege in Gaza, much less the fact that contrary to legacy media, the violence has gone on for far longer than two years. Similarly, workers of the world recognise the pervasiveness of similar propaganda within their own trade unions which are often complicit with the bourgeois propaganda of the ruling elite. As a result, workers today, Brar relates, feel powerless in the absence of strong leadership within their unions. Stressing the need for workers to start making demands of their unions and governments, Brar runs through a list of demands upon which we must all insist, from the breaking of links with the pseudo-leftist parties such as the Labour Party in the UK or the Democratic Party in the US, to refusing to allow the state to oversee the running and organisation of unions, and the building up of strike funds. Brar also notes how workers are increasingly disenfranchised and angry as governments promote culture wars and tribalism (eg. climate change, immigration, and gender ideology) in order to pivot workers against each other, while media and politicians collude with each other, promoting one side as wrong, the other as right, leading populations to bypass reason and to identify with the ruling class. Brar also chronicles the root problems of mass migration, a phenomenon primarily caused by wars and the follow-up looting process promoted by Western nations, all while the imperialist class benefits from paying the bare minimum in immigrant wages while driving a wedge between members of the domestic working class and the immigrant working class, creating an anti-migrant fear. Covering the positive influence of her father, Harpal Brar, on her political education, Brar historicises mid-twentieth century Marxist organisation within Britain in which both her father and mother participated.

In this week's episode we consider the Labour Party conference and what it all meant. We reflect on the odd goings on, like Labour Home Secretery Shabana Mahmood saying her political hero is Margaret Thatcher and we tackle Kier Starmer's conference speach. With Labour and Reform facing off on migration policy and plans for so called Brit Card compulsory ID Cards we look at what is motivating these policies and whether this is the type of country that you'd want to live in.We also ponder some interesting history that saw the archives of Scotland sink in a boat in the 17th century off the Northumbrian coast with no report very little knowledge or understanding of this event in Scottish consciousness.LinksEstonia The Baltic Tiger - YouTubeA Bleather O'Books  - TicketsSunday, November 2 · 10:30 - 11:30am (Doors at 10:15am)Robertson Room, Robert Burns Birthplace MuseumMurdoch's Lone Alloway KA7 4PQHow Cromwell and Edward I robbed Scotland of centuries of its historyhttps://www.thenational.scot/news/17300143.cromwell-edward-robbed-scotland-centuries-history/Lost to the Waveshttps://blog.historicenvironment.scot/2020/08/stormy-past/ ★ Support this podcast ★

The Ryder Cup turned into a geopolitical soap opera, with Rory McIlroy flying the flag, throwing shade, and still finding time to get soppy about his wife. Then it's on to the Labour Party conference, a rollercoaster of highs and lows and touch upon Starmer's interview with Laura Kuenssberg which was promptly chewed up and spat out by all the usual suspects to misquote him into oblivion.Meanwhile, Reform proved once again that when they're not playing victim which appears to be their new schtick, they're busy starring in their own corruption scandal. One of their ex-leaders has pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery. Eight.

The government has continued to grapple with the subject of immigration during the Labour Party conference - where a desire to fight Reform UK's rhetoric has come up against the political reality of public opinion.Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has openly called Reform UK's policies "racist" - at the same time as his new home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has highlighted the need to review the rules over indefinite leave to remain.Nowhere is this paradox more acute than in Glasgow, where an apparent rise in anti-immigrant sentiment is as much a worry for the SNP as it is for the Westminster government - with both struggling to counter the rise of Nigel Farage's party.Many are now more comfortable voicing legitimate concerns over housing and other social pressures, but are some people using the current debate as an excuse to stoke racial stereotypes and hatred?Niall is joined by Sky News' Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies in Glasgow - while political correspondent Rob Powell also speaks to the podcast from the Labour conference in Liverpool.Producers: Araminta Parker and Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill     

The Labour Party conference is in a febrile mood – there's much talk of leadership, and also of Farage. Can Starmer bring together those horrified by a Reform government?

This episode dives deep into the most explosive stories shaping America and beyond. From Michael Cohen revealing the potential crimes of James Comey and the murky grand jury process, to the rise of placeholder and possible conspiracy charges, we break down the politics, media spin, and unanswered questions surrounding the Russia investigation. Then, we shift across the Atlantic to the UK, where the Labour Party's “BritCard” digital ID threatens to dictate who can work, rent, or even buy a home—an Orwellian reality that could spread globally. We also explore the breakdown of law enforcement in Democrat-run cities, the rise of political violence, and the shocking collapse of “woke” corporate policies as S&P 500 companies return to merit-based hiring. From courtroom conspiracies to digital enslavement and political chaos on the streets, this episode exposes the forces reshaping power, justice, and freedom in the modern world.

A new policy in the UK is raising alarms worldwide: by 2029, every adult will need a government-issued “BritCard” digital ID to work, rent, buy a car, or even own a home. In this explosive episode, we break down the Orwellian details of the Labour Party's plan, how it tracks every move you make, and why critics are calling it a dystopian nightmare. From the UK to Switzerland, governments are racing to roll out centralized digital IDs—and the implications for privacy, freedom, and the future of the internet are staggering. Is this just another conspiracy theory, or is a global digital control grid already being built? We give you the facts, the headlines, and the warnings you need to hear.

The Labour Party conference gets under way in earnest this morning with speeches from the Chancellor as well as a diary full of events on business and the economy. Will Bain speaks to Catherine MacLeod, a former special adviser to the previous Labour chancellor, Alistair Darling, to talk through the challenges ahead.The government has stepped in to protect companies in Jaguar Land Rover's supply chain - we hear from someone close to them about how those businesses feel about it.Plus, new research suggests Oasis fans spent more than Taylor Swift's on their respective UK tours; Brian Cannon, the man behind the band's artwork, tells us what he thinks the appeal is.

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?

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has delivered her keynote speech to the Labour Party annual conference in Liverpool.   In an address where there were multiple standing ovations in the hall, she explained she won't take risks with the public finances and warned the UK will "face further tests, with the choices to come made all the harder by harsh global headwinds".   But were there any significant policy announcements? And does the speech signal the choices she will make in November, when her autumn budget is widely expected to include tax rises.   Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's economics editor Ed Conway to discuss the most important points from the address and what it can tell us about the economy's direction of travel.  Producer: Araminta Parker & Natalie Ktena Editor: Philly Beaumont

The prime minister has described the opposition to Reform UK as “the fight of our times”, but a new poll has also found that Starmer has become the most unpopular PM on record. Meanwhile the spectre of Andy Burnham's leadership bid will not rest. There's a lot for Starmer to prove over the next few days in Liverpool at the Labour Party conference.Anoosh Chakelian is joined by George Eaton and Ethan Croft.LISTEN AD-FREE:

✈️ Yesterday, George & Gayatri Galloway were detained at Gatwick Airport by UK counter-terrorism police under “hostile activity” legislation. Their phones and computers were seized. Tonight, George gives his full account of what happened, why it matters, and what it means for free speech, dissent, and democracy in Britain.Alongside this shocking story, we turn to Gaza, Palestine, and the war that grinds on. Netanyahu remains a curse on the region, Starmer is now the worst-rated PM ever as Labour's conference opens, Blair's name re-emerges in a Gaza “peace” deal, and Russia warns NATO as the Ukraine war escalates.

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.

Andy Burnham, Manchester's mayor and self-styled champion of the North, is openly flirting with a return to Westminster just days before the Labour Party conference. In a revealing interview, he outlined his 'Manchesterism' – a blend of business-friendly socialism and public control of essential services – though what that actually means remains unclear. Typically, he is full of inconsistencies, criticising Westminster and how it 'makes you look false', while openly seeking a route back. Does he see the irony? Meanwhile, Keir Starmer faces challenges on multiple fronts: his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, is embroiled in a controversy over nearly £740,000 of undisclosed donations to Labour Together, threatening to overshadow conference proceedings.Labour's conference promises to be anything but dull, but who will steal the headlines: Burnham or McSweeney? Lucy Dunn speaks to Isabel Hardman and Tim Shipman. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Douglas Murray, Manhattan Institute Fellow and author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to President Trump's speech at the UN, arguing that the United States has become somewhat of a lone voice in condemning Hamas terrorists within the body. Murray weighed in on the UK and France's recognition of Palestine as a state, which he said is a purely domestic political move with no intention of making it a reality. He also reacted to disturbing incidents in the UK, including a Jewish man threatened with arrest simply for his presence at a pro-Palestinian rally, and the arrest of Graham Linehan, which he called an example of the "left-wing enforcement ring." The conversation turned to the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which Murray sees as a revolt of ordinary Brits against the radical Labour Party. Benson and Murray also reflected on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, nearly two weeks after his assassination. Listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 9-17-2025 FIRST HOUR 9-915HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace, while Israel engages in difficult urban warfare in Gaza, and the US flexes naval power against Venezuela, all against a backdrop of potential regional miscalculations. Russia's Zapad 2025 includes tactical nuclear training with Belarus, as unidentified drones probe Polish territory. Israel faces six months of challenging urban combat in Gaza, learning from Fallujah. The USconducts naval exercises near Venezuela, potentially aimed at destabilizing Maduro. Regional flashpoints in Syria risk accidental escalation between Turkey and Israel. 1930 POLAND 915-930 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace,  930-945 HEADLINE: EU Schemes to Fund Ukraine with Frozen Russian Assets, While Oil Prices Fluctuate GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: The EU devises a "clever scheme" to fund Ukraine with Russia's frozen assets by converting cash into zero-interest bonds held by Euroclear, effectively confiscating the funds while navigating legal obstacles, as global oil markets remain volatile. The EU and G7 plan to use $170 billion of frozen Russian assets, largely held by Euroclear in Belgium, to fund Ukraine. This "confiscation" involves the European Union issuing zero-interest bonds to Euroclear, allowing cash to be transferred to Ukraine as an unpayable loan. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices fluctuate, influenced by sanctions and Trump's calls to stop buying Russian oil. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Challenging Prospect Theory: Increasing Sensitivity to Loss in Human Behavior GUEST NAME: Tim Kane SUMMARY: Professor Tim Kane questions Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, presenting experiments that suggest humans exhibit increasing sensitivity to loss, rather than diminishing, impacting our understanding of complex rationality beyond financial gambles. Professor Tim Kane challenges Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, arguing that while losses hurt more than gains, people show increasing sensitivity to successive losses, not diminishing sensitivity. His chocolate experiment demonstrated higher demands to part with each subsequent piece, suggesting a "complex rationality" that differs in non-financial contexts from pure monetary gambles. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Nepal's "Gen Z Revolution" Against Corruption and Inequality, Amidst Geopolitical Influence GUEST NAME: Kelly Currie SUMMARY: Nepal faces its biggest governance challenge in decades as disillusioned youth, frustrated by corrupt elites and deep inequality, ignite a "Gen Z revolution" marked by widespread protests, while China and India vie for influence in the poor, landlocked nation. Nepal is grappling with widespread "Gen Z" youth-led protests, marked by violence and targeting government institutions, driven by anger over corrupt elites and severe inequality. An interim government is forming to stabilize the country and organize elections. Meanwhile, Nepal, Asia's second poorest nation, is a growing battleground for influence between China and India. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: China's Deflationary Cycle: A Consequence of Overproduction and Centralized Control GUEST NAME: Anne Stevenson-Yang SUMMARY: China is mired in a fearful deflationary cycle driven by chronic overproduction and a government unable to shift from supply-side investment to stimulating consumption, perpetuating a "race to the bottom" under CCP leadership. China faces widespread deflation, causing consumer uncertainty and stemming from government-backed overproduction. The CCP leadership pours money into factories to meet GDP targets, despite overbuilt infrastructure and property. This "involution," or economy eating itself, continues due to a lack of innovative solutions and reluctance to cede economic control. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: China's Covert Strategic Support for Russia Fuels NATO Border Tensions GUEST NAME: Victoria Coates SUMMARY: China is actively supporting Russia's efforts to destabilize NATO's eastern flank, particularly through the Polish-Belarusian border, by pushing migrants and using proxies. This "partnership without limits," declared by Xi and Putin, aims to keep the United States entangled in European conflicts, preventing a focus on East Asia. Poland, however, remains resolute and is strengthening its defenses. China covertly aids Russia in destabilizing NATO via incidents on the Polish-Belarusian border, pushing migrants and using drones. This "partnership without limits" between Xi and Putin aims to keep the US preoccupied in Europe and the Middle East, preventing a focus on East Asia. Despite this, Poland, led by President Karol Nawrocki, remains resolute, strengthening its defenses and economy. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's EV Market Faces Global Headwinds and Domestic Overcapacity GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson SUMMARY: Despite innovation, China's electric vehicle market, led by BYD, is experiencing production drops, price wars, and significant international pushback due to quality, surveillance fears, and predatory trade practices, exposing a broader economic deflation. China's EV market leader BYD saw production drops amidst price wars and over 150 producers. Global markets, including the US, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, resist Chinese EVs due to surveillance concerns and predatory trade practices. Beijing maintains employment through municipal loans, but widespread overcapacity and deflation are significant challenges.

The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) revealed its first international operation, dismantling an Islamic State (ISIS) cell in West Africa. This cell, linked to the powerful ISWAP, was financing attacks in Europe and supporting ISIS operations in Iraq. This highlights Africa's growing importance as a hub for the global Islamic State network, amidst a complex regional jihadist landscape. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings GUEST NAME: Peter Berkowitz SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz analyzes Cass Sunstein's defense of liberalism "under siege," highlighting criticisms from both the new right and the woke left, and arguing that liberalism's own principles, when taken to extremes, contribute to its current pressures. Peter Berkowitz reviews Cass Sunstein's book On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom, where Sunstein argues liberalism is "under siege" from criticisms on the right (permissiveness, criminality) and left (too weak on inequality, racism). Berkowitz suggests Sunstein mischaracterizes liberalism by overemphasizing "experiments of living" over equal rights, and neglects how liberalism's vices contribute to its challenges. 1215-1230 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays GUEST NAME: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman ambitions are driving Turkey to increasingly confront Israel through vilifying rhetoric, alleged support for Hamas cells, and a growing military footprint across the Mediterranean and Africa, risking miscalculation and armed conflict in Syria. Erdogan is pursuing Neo-Ottomanism, escalating tensions with Israelthrough vilifying rhetoric and alleged MIT involvement in Hamas plots. Turkey's military expansion, including bases in Somalia and northern Cyprus, and advanced weaponry like drones and hypersonic missiles, positions it to dominate the Mediterranean and challenge Israel. Miscalculation in Syria poses a risk of armed conflict. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays
