"Fire the bureaucrats and close the agencies!" The Telegraph's Steven Edginton sits down with Kevin to discuss the state of conservatism in America, President Biden, the Blob, and the urgency of courageous leadership. Will the U.S. elect a president with the tenacity needed to “punch the nose” of the deep state? “We believe at Heritage that a conservative, whether it's President Trump or someone else in the field, will replace President Biden, thank goodness, and it isn't enough for whoever that is to govern [as a] conservative. Tactically they have to wake up every day and say, what part of the American administrative state am I going to destroy today? Not reform, not modify, not tweak, destroy; fire the bureaucrats, close agencies, end, as is my pet project, the U.S. Department of Education. “If [Republicans] don't have the backbone like Lady Thatcher, like President Reagan, to stand up to the Blob and to destroy it, we will lose America. Every tactic has to be oriented around that goal.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lady Margaret Thatcher—along with her great ally, President Reagan—fought and won a crucial battle of ideas in the 1970s and 1980s. Ten years after her death, it now falls to a new generation in the Western world to fight a new raft of ideological battles which will determine whether the cherished values of freedom and democracy will continue to thrive in the 21st century. Reducing the size of the state and rejecting leftist orthodoxy are also crucial to delivering the prosperity that will ensure the forces of freedom can prevail against authoritarian regimes. These are the themes that former British Prime Minister Liz Truss will take up as she delivers the 2023 Margaret Thatcher Freedom Lecture.The Freedom Lecture honors the principles, ideals, vision, and legacy of Lady Thatcher. Previous lecturers have included Ambassador Nikki Haley, Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, conservative authors and commentators Charles Krauthammer and Victor Davis Hanson, and foreign statesmen including former Australian Prime Minister John Howard and former UK International Trade Secretary Liam Fox MP.The Rt Hon Liz Truss MP: Liz Truss served as the 56th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and is a long-standing advocate for limited government, low taxes, and freedom, both at home in the UK and around the world. Continuously holding ministerial office between 2012 and 2022, she served three different prime ministers in six different roles around the cabinet table before her own tenure in 10 Downing Street, including Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Secretary of State for International Trade, and Foreign Secretary, as well as Minister for Women and Equalities.

We discuss the reign of Elizabeth II and how a continually strong monarchy under King Charles may be helpful to American national security.

In the latest Hard Truth, David and ilana tackle the staggering decline of the quality of female political leaders. From the UK's Iron Lady the great Maggie Thatcher to Finland's pouting Party Girl Sanna Marin, why has it all gone so badly wrong? Ilana captured the essence of Lady Thatcher years ago when she observed that Thatcher was an individualist, not a feminist. By contrast Sanna Marin is a feminist not an individualist. David argues that feminism has destroyed any merit in female political leaders and more than a few XY ones! ilana and David both agree that it is unfortunate that women ever got the vote as the feminisation of politics and ilana bravely agreed to give up her vote if the whole thing could be undone! As a final topic, the role of Donald Trump is going along with the lockdowns was discussed and ilana and David agreed that Republican need to stop being so uncritical about his role in the destruction of the economy back then.   DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it. Having been in front-line politics as Deputy Leader of the UK Unionist Party for some years, he was delighted to oppose the anti-democratic Belfast Agreement and the Clintonian-Blair forces behind that. He even wrote a book about it all called “Unionism Decayed” (2008). David has been a successful businessman for decades and prides himself on his independence.

Lady Thatcher, and other heroes.  www.dailynotes.co.uk  

In 1997, Margaret Thatcher asked Sir Charles Moore (also known as Lord Baron Moore of Etchingham) to write her biography, under two conditions: that she would never read the manuscript and that the work would appear only after her death. Twenty-four years later, Moore has just published the third and final volume of Herself Alone: The Authorized Biography. In this conversation, Peter Robinson and Moore discuss Thatcher’s final years as prime minister and her life out of office. They delve into Thatcher’s relationships with the world leaders of her era, including Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. They also discuss her image now, seven years after her passing, including her portrayal in Netflix’s The Queen. Moore points out that while the show gets many personal details about Thatcher correct, it takes massive liberties when depicting her relationship with Queen Elizabeth and her stewardship of many important events that occurred during her tenure as prime minister, including the Falklands War and the coal miners' strike.

Having already invoked thoughts of Lady Thatcher and Sir Winston Churchill, Johnson looked across the Atlantic to find a way to galvanize the country to follow his lead in backing large infrastructure projects. He is planning to launch a New Deal that will evoke the ideas of the U.S. recovery from the great depression which was the last time the world found itself so close to the edge in peacetime."

BBC political correspondent Chris Mason examines the changing accents of politics and politics of accents, with help from politicians, language experts and an impersonator. The programme examines the ways that stereotypes and prejudices can be loaded onto accents, how the voting public responds to different voices, and what politicians can do and have done about it all. With the help of the archive, the former Labour leader Neil Kinnock and former Conservative minister Edwina Currie reflect on the political soundtrack of their lifetimes. How have their voices, those of their contemporaries and the sound of the national political conversation changed? How is it possible and when it is sensible to change your accent? Chris is joined by Steve Nallon, who impersonated Lady Thatcher on Spitting Image, to listen back to her as a new backbencher and later as Prime Minister. And what about the sound of political reporting? The archive allows the former Today Programme presenter Jack Di Manio to give Chris (a son of the Yorkshire dales) a lesson in speaking 'properly'. So are we really becoming more open minded about this aspect of political communication? The programme hears from two MPs who say they still struggle to be understood in the Commons today. Producer: Joey D'Urso.

Margaret Thatcher would not have voted for Brexit, her former private secretary has said. Caroline Slocock, who worked for the former Tory Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street from 1989 to 1991, said she would have preferred to stay in the European Union and fight to reform it. Leave supporters have sometimes used Baroness Thatcher’s euroscepticism in the later years of her premiership and in her retirement to suggest she would have voted to leave the European Union. However, speaking to Chopper’s Brexit Podcast, Ms Slocock said that she would not have voted to leave the EU. The comments echo those of Lord Powell of Bayswater, Lady Thatcher’s most trusted foreign adviser in Number 10, who said the former PM would have voted to stay in the EU in September 2016. Ms Slocock said: “My view is that she wouldn’t and I share this view with Charles Powell who advised her on foreign affairs as private secretary when I was there. “My justification for that is she would not have got into this mess in the first place. She had form and the form was to stay in and fight. “On the rebate she fought for five years to get the right deal – and I just think that David Cameron walked away far too early from those discussions with the EU. “She would have done a much better job and we probably would not have had a referendum at all. “She was very much against the idea of the European super state. She said in her famous Bruges speech that she had not rolled back the frontiers of state in Britain to see them rolling forward in Europe. “She was angry about it but the fundamental thing is that she was fighting her corner, she wasn’t walking away and she valued immensely the trading relationship that we have with the EU. “She – who regarded the single market as her greatest achievement in Europe – would just be non-plussed to be finding us walking away from trading relationships with effectively 70 per cent of our trade is with Europe or through European trade agreements – doing that speculatively in the hope that we will get better trading agreements elsewhere. “The mistake of the government was to sign article 50 – now it has got no real negotiating strength - if you are inside the EU threatening to leave you have got a much better negotiating position.” Also on Chopper’s Brexit Podcast, from 6am on Friday morning, Jake Berry MP, the Northern Powerhouse minister, supported calls for Donald Trump to visit the north of England when he visits the UK later this summer. Pointing out that Ben Houchen, the Tory mayor for Tees Valley, has invited Mr Trump to visit his region, Mr Berry said it was important that the UK sought a better trading relationship with the US “whatever people’s views of Donald Trump”. Mr Berry added: “I would be delighted if Donald Trump visits the north of England. He would be probably welcomed in manufacturing areas who want to build that very close trading relationship  and we shouldn’t let our personal views whatever they may be about his politics stand in the way of having a successful visit for our closest ally and that visit must be focused on creating a close trading relationship between the manufacturers of the north and the manufacturers of the United States.” Other guests include George Freeman MP, ex-chairman of the Conservative policy board, Jeremy Warner, the Telegraph’s Assistant Editor and Ed Malnick, the Telegraph’s Whitehall Editor. The podcast also features the first #BrexitPoems which were submitted by Twitter.

Swinging 80s here we come with our milestone 20th episode taking an in-depth look at For Your Eyes Only. For your ears only, everything gets explored from the Fearing Effect to the Kuleshov Effect but thankfully not a teenage ice-skater's body. Our special edition of "Is It Rape or Not?" concludes that Bond does have a line he won't cross; the world of espionage is murky enough as it is without paedophilic entanglements. Jonathan is less than happy with the appearance of Lady Thatcher while Richard has even more complex feelings about how they wrap up Blofeld, not mentioned by name for copyright reasons. Seriously. Now that this is all typed out, this movie does sound strange.

Lady Thatcher (1925-2013), who has just passed away in London, made a particular point of attending the central event of the Australia Week celebrations in 2000. It is said of Lady Thatcher, that she of all politicians was known for exactly what she believed in and that moreover that she unswervingly followed those beliefs. Her attendance indicated her strong belief and appreciation of our country, our traditions, our values, our institutions and our successes, as well as our great contributions to the Commonwealth, the English speaking countries and indeed, to freedom itself. This is short anecdote concerning the event relayed to 2GB's Alan Jones.
