Podcasts about Labour Party Conference

Happy Super Bowl weekend to those who celebrate (which is a LOT of you). Super Bowl LIX is expected to be watched by almost 200m humans (plus a visiting space warrior and Elon Musk). What makes it so popular? Is there anything to learn from its impressive marketing? Politics isn't afraid to borrow a bit of popular culture from time to time... so can we expect to see Kendrick Lamar rapping about democracy at next year's Labour Party Conference... or let's be realistic... Lemar. (American listeners feel free to Google 'Lemar' or 'democracy')Sharing everything he knows about the Super Bowl is legendary American journalist Iron Mike Carlson. He shares why the Super Bowl became the top day in the US sporting calendar, what the players really think about the Half Time Show and pitches a new adults-only version of Ceefax. And THAT'S why this is the greatest podcast on your planet. Go Eagles / Go Chiefs (note to producer - delete one of these on Monday) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final Politics Wednesday of 2024, Labour's Ginny Andersen and National's Mark Mitchell joined Mike Hosking to dig into this week's biggest political stories. With just one sitting session left for the year, Parliament has shifted its focus to examining Government agencies for this year's Scrutiny Week. Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking that it's important to hold people accountable – if people are saying things that aren't true, then they need to front up and explain where they got the numbers from. Mark Mitchell agrees the week is a good idea. He told Hosking that it's another way of having scrutiny and transparency around what agencies are doing. Mitchell says we've got one of the most transparent systems, and we should keep improving it. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christopher Luxon finally appeared on Q&A over the weekend and we saw his usual behaviour of blaming Labour, not answering questions and CEO speak. One thing that was incredibly interesting from the interview is how much responsibility Christopher Luxon has, versus how much should be laid at the feet of David Seymour...it was shocking. Stuff and Three News release what they are calling "shocking" result from a recent survey asking New Zealanders about the Treaty Principles Bill. Chippy is joining us LIVE later in the week but tonight we'll take a quick look at what was promised ta the weekend's conference in Christchurch ================================= Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠⁠#BHN⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ ================================= Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter. @patbrittenden @Chewie_NZ

A belief Labour missed out on opportunities when announcing its position on AUKUS. The party has promised not to sign up to the international security pact – a partnership between Australia, Britain, and the United States. Former Labour leader Andrew Little told Mike Hosking he wants more of an indication on how those relationships would be managed in the future. “So if we're not signing up to that, we still have to have a relationship with them – or we're going to – and still need new defence kit.” But Little is confident relationships will remain strong, believing the nuclear part will likely collapse. He says the other part was joining with our traditional partners on developing technology of use to New Zealand, like remote maritime patrolling. The current Government's exploring options for the non-nuclear aspect of the pact. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins believes AUKUS is not in New Zealand's best interest. His party has ruled out joining the transnational pact between Australia, the UK, and the US. The current Government's considering joining pillar two of the agreement - with non-nuclear aspects. Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking we should continue to have good, strategic relationships – and recognise some other partners are not happy with AUKUS. “If you look at the way it's perceived internationally, including in our region, it's perceived as part of the polarisation of geopolitics in our region.” Meanwhile, the idea or a capital gains tax was also talked about. Hipkins says we're closer to seeing public appetite for reform. “When we started talking about this 15 years ago as the Labour Party, we were the only people talking about it. Now everybody's saying actually New Zealand's tax system needs reform.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An ex-Labour Party high-flyer is confident Chris Hipkins will continue to lead the party. Labour's conference over the weekend came with a vow not to join security conference AUKUS. The party's also spoken about a potential tax shake-up should it come into power at the next election. Former Labour MP Stuart Nash told Ryan Bridge he has no doubt Chris Hipkins will be leader. “If he wants to be the leader, and I assuming he does, because he's engaged, he's passionate.” Wairarapa-based list MP Kieran McAnulty has been announced as Labour's 2026 campaign chair.

Politicians from across the political spectrum are remembering former National MP Nikki Kaye. Kaye died aged 44 on Saturday after a cancer battle. National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking she was an amazing lady. He said that she was in the midst of her treatment when he was wanting to become a Minister, and she was sending him a full strategy on what he needed to do. Kaye served as the Auckland Central MP from 2008 until 2020, a seat Mitchell said she won through hard work and guts – a combination she lived her life by. Labour's Ginny Andersen told Hosking she will remember her energy. She said it was amazing to see a young woman who was so passionate and driven, but who wasn't afraid to laugh at herself. Andersen said she'll always be thankful for the stance she took on mining on Great Barrier Island, saying she has huge admiration for that strength.

A capital gains tax is a no-brainer, according to a former Labour Party leader. The topic is understood to be on the agenda at the party's conference in Christchurch this weekend, with members deciding whether to continue work on the proposal. David Cunliffe told Mike Hosking he believes most in the party would be keen on the tax. When it comes to voters, he says that capital gains taxes have actually polled really well in the last couple of elections, and one could say that its polled better than the Labour Party. Cunliffe says that it's unlikely to be a net vote loser. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of *Mid Atlantic* brings together voices from both sides of the Atlantic to dissect political developments in the U.S. and the U.K. Host **Roifield Brown**, broadcasting from a rainy Birmingham, UK, leads a panel discussion with guests from Nevada, London, Los Angeles, and Liverpool. **Tonye Alltrade** shares her recent visit to the birthplace of democracy in Athens, reflecting on its enduring relevance. The conversation quickly pivots to U.S. politics, with an analysis of Kamala Harris's recent economic push, and a lively discussion of Trump's policies and the upcoming Waltz vs. Vance debate. Mike Donahue critiques Trump's economic misunderstanding, while Z Cohen Sanchez highlights how Harris is struggling to wrestle the narrative away from Trump's populist rhetoric.The conversation then turns to the U.K., where **Steve O'Neill** provides insight into the Labour Party Conference, and how Keir Starmer's campaign, with its message of competence over hope, contrasts with Harris's style. They also discuss the recent announcement on winter fuel payments, which sparked significant debate. Steve explains the Labour government's decision to reduce the payments, arguing that the triple lock on pensions still protects the poorest. However, **Tonye Alltrade** and others express concerns about how the policy has been received, especially its impact on pensioners who are already struggling with rising living costs. Mike Donahue adds that the political handling of the issue has been clumsy, giving the opposition an easy line of attack.The episode wraps up with a deep dive into the Windrush scandal and the slow compensation process for its victims, with **Roifield Brown** voicing his frustration over the government's lack of accountability.**Quotes:**1. "We need to make sure we have an educated populace to keep democracy going." – **Tonye Alltrade**2. "It's just when will this national nightmare [Trump] come to an end?" – **Mike Donahue**3. "Labour's campaign is all about rolling up sleeves, not hope." – **Steve O'Neill**4. "We deliberately slow-rolled this. It makes me disgusted to be British." – **Roifield Brown** on the Windrush scandal.5. "Young people can't buy homes, and one in five pensioners are millionaires. Something has to give." – **Tonye Alltrade****Further Reading:**- [Windrush scandal report overview](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/windrush-scandal-report)- [Labour Party Conference analysis](https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/labour-conference)- [Winter fuel payment policy](https://www.bbc.com/news/politics-winter-fuel-payments) Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the IEA Podcast, host Reem Ibrahim is joined by Matthew Lesh and Tom Clougherty to discuss the recent Labour Party Conference, the growing issue of long-term sickness benefits in the UK, and the influential "Foundations: Why Britain has Stagnated" report. The conversation kicks off with insights into the Labour Party's current positioning and challenges as they prepare for a potential return to power, including the party's struggle to articulate a clear vision for governance beyond simply not being the Conservatives. The discussion then shifts to the concerning trend of increasing long-term sickness benefit claims, particularly among young people and men. The panel explores the potential causes behind this surge, including changes in the benefits system, mental health issues, and the broader economic implications. They debate the balance between providing necessary support and creating incentives for work, touching on both the fiscal and moral dimensions of the issue. Finally, the podcast delves into the "Foundations" report, which argues that the UK's economic stagnation is largely due to self-imposed barriers to investment and growth. The panel examines the report's key points, including how relaxing planning restrictions and improving infrastructure could rapidly boost the UK's economic performance. They also discuss the report's optimistic outlook and its potential impact on future policy discussions. We bring you a public affairs podcast with a difference.

The Labour Party conference is underway in Liverpool. Last week we heard from the Liberal Democrats and next week we'll report on the Conservative Party conference. Agriculture is a devolved issue, so the budget and how it's spent is up to governments in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Steve Reed spoke at the Labour conference. He told us a land use framework will be published before Christmas, but details of funding for farmers will have to waiting until the chancellor's autumn budget.All week we're hearing how plans for new infrastructure are affecting farmers and their land. A row over whether farm land in North Yorkshire should be turned into a solar farm is going before a public inquiry. The tenant farmers at Eden Farm, Old Malton say a solar farm would make their business unviable. The developer says it's listened to feedback, and reduced the solar farm's size by a third.The number of cases of bluetongue disease in cattle and sheep has risen to 97. As a result the restriction zone has been redrawn and now covers all Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, all Greater London, Surrey and West Sussex.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question, live from the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, are the Technology and Culture Minister Sir Chris Bryant, the University and College Union General Secretary Jo Grady and the newly-elected Labour MP Calvin Bailey.

Sir Keir Starmer has made his speech on the penultimate day of the Labour Party Conference, and his first as prime minister. He's pledged “national renewal”, homes for all veterans who need them, and defended the unpopular cut to winter fuel payments.  At the centre of his speech was “change” that Labour will bring, but are we any clearer on what that vision is? What was the speech really about? Will it change the course of the government and how people think about the Labour Party? And did it touch on what people were really looking for from the first Labour prime minister in 14 years?  Joining Cathy Newman from the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool is Leader of the House of Lords, Angela Smith, General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, Nicola Ranger, and, Chief UK Political Commentator for the Financial Times, Robert Shrimsley.    Produced by Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Shaheen Sattar, Sarah Beale, Rob Thomson.  

The IfG team is up in Liverpool for Labour's first party conference since winning the general election - and the party's first in government since 2009.    So, what's the mood? Has Keir Starmer managed to shift the narrative away from freebies and falling-outs? Does the annual party get together tell us anything about how government is working? And what should we be looking out for as the Conservatives prepare to meet in Birmingham?   The Sunday Times' Gabriel Pogrund, Bloomberg's Ailbhe Rea and UK in a Changing Europe's Anand Menon join Cath Haddon and Alex Thomas for a special live recording of Inside Briefing.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Rachel Reeves has just delivered her Labour conference speech as the UK's first female chancellor, defending the “hard but fair” choices that Labour will have to make. She called Labour the party of “economic responsibility”, but there remains much discontent over winter fuel allowance cuts to pensioners, and then there's a donation scandal that's dressed much of the conversation at this year's conference.  With a speech focused on business, there was one line that came up again and again: “that's the Britain we're building”. But how do you deliver change and growth if the railways aren't working? And public services aren't working? Where will the £16bn come from if taxes aren't being raised?  To talk about all of this on day 2 of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool with Krishnan Guru-Murthy is Channel 4 News' Political Editor, Gary Gibbon, and Economics Correspondent for Channel 4 News, Helia Ebrahimi.  Produced by Calum Fraser, Silvia Maresca, Shaheen Sattar, and Rob Thomson

Rachel Reeves took to the stage at the Labour Party Conference in a wet and gloomy Liverpool, hoping to brighten her party's fortunes. After a tumultuous few weeks for the new government with rows over ‘Keir's gear', Sue Gray and the Winter Fuel Payment, the new chancellor hoped to prove that after 14 years of the Tories, Labour were all set to deliver a bright new future. But it was a speech that was heavy on rhetoric, light on policy and disrupted by a pro-Palestine protestor. Has she done enough to shake off accusations that she's the next ‘austerity chancellor'? Ed Balls and George Osborne pick over her speech and ask whether she's managed to convince voters they've made the right choice… Our next episode of EMQs will be a Labour Party Conference special - Political Currency Gold subscribers get first dibs on questions.

Economist-turned-Labour MP Torsten Bell knows all too well that things have not been going great for Britain - but is optimistic that a different future is possible. The UK's economy has been making the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the last few years: wages are flatlining, taxes are on the rise, and public services are on the brink of collapse. The younger generation can't afford to buy a home, the old aren't receiving the social care they need and an increasing number of people are reliant on food banks. So what's at the root of all these problems - and crucially, how do you fix it? In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Torsten Bell, the Labour politician and former Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, talks to Krishnan Guru Murthy about Britain's “catch up potential” to turn things around and build a more equal and better off country.   Produced by Silvia Maresca.  

THIS IS THE CORRECT AUDIO, PLEASE IGNORE EARLIER VERSION OF EPISODE 39 In this episode we discuss The Fall and Rise of the British Left (Verso, 2019) by Andrew Murray. We originally intended this episode to coincide with the UK General Election in July 2024, seeing this as a good moment to reflect on the electoral turn of the left in Britain in the 2010s. While this scheduling didn't quite work out, we still felt this work, written by an advisor to Jeremy Corbyn at the peak of expectations for a left-wing Labour victory, would make for an interesting and (somewhat) timely discussion.  ---------------------------------------------------------------- The first ABC Edition Pamphlet, Danny's translation of Víctor García: ‘José Xena Torrent: A Contribution to a Necessary Biography,' is now available to buy for cost price of £2 + postage.  For UK listeners, the easiest way to place a single order is to send £3.35 via PayPal to abcwithdannyandjim@gmail.com, and put your postal address in the comments.
