George Galloway has won victory in the traditionally safe Labour seat of Rochdale by election, after standing on a platform opposing Keir Starmer's stance on Gaza. Does Gallwoway's victory - as he suggests - reflect a shift in the tectonic plates of British politics?

As the Tories are trounced in two by elections is there any way back for Rishi Sunak?Labour overturned Peter Bone's 18,000 majority in the Northamptonshire seat of Wellingborough – a “catastrophically bad” defeat according to Gavin Barwell, an ex Conservative MP and Theresa May's former chief of staff.Labour also overcame an 11,000 majority in Kingswood in South Gloucesteshire.This is obviously great news for Keir Starmer; but Reform UK, the party that grew from the ashes of UKIP came third in both by elections offering a threat to the Tories on the right.Adrian Goldberg talks to Byline Times political editor Adam Bienkov and Jon Tonge, professor of politics at Liverpool University.Funded by subscriptions to the Byline Times.

The trade in opium formed a backdrop to Amitav Ghosh's best-selling novels, The Ibis Trilogy. In his latest work of non-fiction, Smoke and Ashes, he investigates the impact of that trade on Britain, India and China, and follows the money that was made by some of America's most powerful and well-respected families. He reveals how the poppy plant enabled the financial survival of Empire and proved catastrophic for Indian farmers and Chinese users. In the 21st century Afghanistan became the biggest grower of poppies, producing more than 80% of the world's opium. The former soldier, Richard Brittan, set up the company Alcis, to provide an accurate picture of what's going on on the ground in Afghanistan by using satellite imagery. As well as tracking the workings of the drugs trade, he explains the impact of the Taliban ban on poppy cultivation in 2023.Professor Fiona Measham, Chair in Criminology at Liverpool University, explains that one of the effects of the disruption to the opium trade has been a large increase in the number of synthetic opiates – fentanyl and nitazenes – filling the vacuum. China has become the centre for the wider development of synthetic drugs that emulate plant-based street drugs, but are much stronger and potentially lethal. The charity The Loop, set up by Measham, is instrumental in checking drugs to better understand what is being sold on the streets.Producer: Katy Hickman

A remarkable set of papyrus scrolls reveals the life of Roman Egypt's very own David Brent, preparing for a a visit from the fearsome Emperor Diocletian.Infuriated by hopeless staff and venal local politicians and continuously harassed by his superiors, Apolinarius of Panopolis becomes increasingly desperate as Diocletian approaches and the tension cranks up. Mary Beard follows Apolinarius's story to reveal the messy realities of Roman administration.Producer: Alasdair CrossExpert Contributors: Colin Adams, Liverpool University and Margaret MountfordCast: Apolinarius played by Josh Bryant-JonesSpecial thanks to Jill Unkell and the Chester Beatty collection, Dublin

On the 16th October 2023, I met with Claire Launchbury and Charles Forsdick to discuss the recent publication of Transnational French Studies (Liverpool UP, 2023), a collection of essays that draws attention to the diverse objects of study and methodologies that can be brought to bear on French cultural production. This is the latest in the “Transnational Modern Languages” series published by Liverpool University press. The series furnishes frameworks and concrete examples of how to study languages and cultures through their interactions, rather than as isolated national traditions. It is especially of note that Transnational French Studies has been conceived as a handbook for students of French (at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels). The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities - both material and non-material - that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book is divided into four sections: Languages, Spaces, Temporalities and Subjectivities. These follow a detailed introduction written by the editors that comprehensively explains and situates “transnationalism” and its reception within contemporary French Studies. The collection moves smoothly from literature to sociolinguistics to videogames and comics. In addition to its diverse subject matter, the edition makes a major contribution to French Studies by drawing attention to the complex ways that monolingualism can become conflated with monoculturalism in our discipline. Forsdick and Launchbury in their introduction stress that the “nation is a keyword that all students of France must interrogate in its historic and semantic complexity”. The collection's historical breadth expands social scientific definitions of “transnationalism” and historicizes both “Frenchness” and the French language's (and cultures') evolutions. Individual essays explore histories of migration, flows of ideas and goods to demonstrate that “transnationalism” is not a contemporary phenomenon but a cultural disposition that extends back centuries.

Should a business be able to choose its customers? If a bank doesn't support your politics, should they be able to de-bank you? Nigel Farage's closed account has seen the resignations of the heads of NatWest and Coutts, but will it also see a change in the rules to prevent discrimination on grounds of political opinion?

Amanda Blanc is the group CEO of the insurance company Aviva. She is one of a handful of women at the top of FTSE 100 companies and has spoken out against the sexism and misogyny many – including herself - have encountered during their careers. In 2022 she called out disparaging comments made to her by some of the male shareholders at her company's own AGM. Her published riposte received some 1.6m views in the space of a few days. Amanda was born in Treherbert, a former mining village in the Rhondda Valley. Both her grandfathers worked down the mines and she says the miners' strike of 1984 left a lasting impression on her and taught her the value of community. After studying modern history at Liverpool University, Amanda joined a graduate training scheme at Commercial Union. By the age of 29 she was the company's youngest and first female branch manager when she took up the post in Leicester. She joined Aviva in 2020 and the following year she was appointed Women in Finance Charter Champion by HM Treasury. She was named the Sunday Times Business Person of the Year for 2022. Amanda is married to Ken Blanc, who also worked in insurance but gave up his job to support her career. They have two daughters and live in Hampshire.

This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!In Part 1 we talked about how Novo Nordisk got suspended from The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry for their shady marketing practices. Today, we're going to talk about an investigation by The Observer that found what so many of us have been saying for a looooong time - that Novo Nordisk had paid millions to prominent ob*sity “charities,” NHS trusts, universities and other bodies as well healthcare professionals who publicly praised the drug (typically without disclosure of their funding) and who advised NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) on their reviewing of Novo's weight loss drug to decide whether or not it should be made available.The Observer article by Shanti Das and Jon Ungoes-Thomas “‘Orchestrated PR campaign': how skinny jab drug firm sought to shape ob*sity debate” (Note: per my policy I'm not linking to it because it still comes from a place of weight stigma) found that in three years, Novo Nordisk had shelled out £21,700,000 (about $26,415,301.50 USD) over 3,500 transactions which were separate from their research and development spending.The Observer found:“The payments include donations, event sponsorship, grants and other fees to prominent ob*sity charities, NHS trusts, royal colleges, GP surgeries, healthcare education providers and universities - on top of £28m spent by the company on research and development. A further £4m in payments such as consulting and lecture fees went to health professionals, including experts on ob*sity. The business has also provided financial support for the running of the all-party parliamentary group on ob*sity - a cross party group of MPs and members of the Lords that lobbies the government on health policy.”I've written before about how major papers like the New York Times are writing articles that are, essentially, lobbying for Novo Nordisk's priorities where every expert quoted is on Novo's payroll with no disclosure. One question I get asked a lot is “how is that legal?” First I'll point out that legal and ethical are two different things. Beyond that, there is a tendency to believe that doctors and academics are somehow immune to industry influence (or to the ways that their promotion of the weight loss paradigm will support their careers) such that reporters and others (including those on the pharma industry's payroll) claim that disclosing these conflicts of interest isn't important.An excellent example of the ways in which those who are seen as “impartial” experts in academia are, in fact, on the payroll of these companies and actively shilling for them is Professor John Wilding. Professor Wilding is at Liverpool University, where he leads clinical research on “ob*sity.” He also serves as president of the “World Ob*sity Federation” (an astroturf organization similar to the Ob*sity Action Coalition) which took more than £4.3M over three years, per The Observer. Somehow, this did not make its way onto his conflicts of interest statement. Meanwhile, he was quoted extensively in the media recommending Novo's drug Wegovy. Jason Halford, who is the Head of the School of Psychology at the University of Leeds, told an audience of millions on BBC that Wegovy is “one of the most powerful pharmaceutical tools” for treating “ob*sity.” He did not disclose that he is also the president of the European Association for the Study of Ob*sity (EASO), another astroturf organization (which is to say, an organization that claims to advocate for marginalized people but, in reality, is predominantly funded by and acting as a lobbying arm of, the pharmaceutical/weight loss surgery industry.) The Observer found that the EASO received more than three-quarters of its income (more than £3.65m) from Novo Nordisk. He was also a previous member of Novo Nordisk's UK advisory board.I'm glad Novo Nordisk's lack of ethics are getting wider coverage (though, as I pointed out in part 1, people in fat liberation and weight-neutral health advocates like Mikey Mercedes, Louise Adams, Asher Larmie, myself and others have been talking about this for some time,) but I don't expect it to stop them until we can put enough pressure on them to force them to stop. This is a company that orchestrated aggressive price gouging on insulin, proving beyond a doubt that they will kill people for money. And as pressure in the US is forcing Novo to lower the price of insulin, they seem to have a lot of eggs in the Wegovy basket. Prior to launch, they promised their shareholders the “fastest ever” post FDA-approval launch and that they would double their “ob*sity” sales by 2025. In fact, The Observer found that Novo Nordisk's sales on their new “ob*sity treatments” rose 84% in 2022 to $2.4B – a figure Novo projects will “grow significantly” in 2023.And what will they do to grow this figure significantly this year? I think their behavior makes it clear – absolutely anything they can get away with.Did you find this post helpful?

In honor of International Women's Day, we are re-airing our interview with Dr. Averil Mansfield, Pioneering Vascular Surgeon and the UK's first female professor of surgery. She recently published her autobiography, Life in Her Hands. From a young age, Averil Mansfield wanted to become a doctor. But it was the early 1950s, and women were not expected to pursue a career in medicine. Against all expectations, Dr. Mansfield forged ahead and became a Vascular surgeon in the UK. In addition to her illustrious career, she has worked to support and encourage other women to enter the field of surgery. Dr. Mansfield was voted one of "100 Women Who Have Changed the World" and founded Women in Surgery, a Royal College of Surgeons initiative to encourage more women to enter the field.   Links and Resources: Life in Her Hands: The Inspiring Story of a Pioneering Female Surgeon About our Guest: Dr. Averil Mansfield is a retired Vascular Surgeon. She was born into a working-class family and was educated at her local primary and grammar schools in Blackpool and then at Liverpool University graduating M.B.Ch.B in 1960. She plays the piano and music has been a prominent feature throughout her life. She learned to play the cello in retirement. After graduation, she trained in surgery in Liverpool and in addition spent two years in the USA. At the age of 34 she became a consultant general surgeon first in Liverpool and later moved to London. In London she practiced as a vascular surgeon and later [1993] became Professor of Vascular Surgery at Imperial College and Director of the Academic Surgical Unit at St Mary's Hospital. She was the first woman in the UK to become a professor of surgery and to head up an academic surgical unit. Her research interests centered on thrombosis and on arterial diseases along with their surgical treatment.  Teaching and passing on skills have always been her passion and she hopes to inspire the next generation to achieve to the maximum of their capabilities. She has been President of The Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland [the first woman], President of The Vascular Surgical Society [the first woman], and the section of Surgery of the RSM. She was Vice President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and chaired a number of its boards and the Court of Examiners and in 2009 became President of the BMA. She was recently a member of the working party looking at Diversity in Surgery under the chairmanship of Baroness Helena Kennedy. In retirement, she chaired the Council of the Stroke Association, the Board of Science of the BMA, and two medical charities. Charitable commitments and ambassadorial roles eg for Liverpool University are a continuing and important feature of her life. In 2019 she was awarded the Aneurin Bevan Lifetime achievement award at the celebration to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS. In 2020 she was a castaway on Desert Island Discs.

My guest this week is international best-selling author Dr. Caroline Cauchi. Caroline has written 9 novels, including the modern day fairy tale "The Drowning of Arthur Braxton," which was subsequently made into a feature film that won Best UK feature at the Raindance Film Festival. She is also head of book editing at BubbleCow and is currently the Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Liverpool University. Caroline's latest novel, Mrs. Van Gogh, is the story of twenty-eight year old Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, sister-in-law to artist Vincent Van Gogh. It's through her eyes that we meet the Van Gogh brothers: charming Theo and unstable, drug-addled, starving artist Vincent. What became of Vincent's art after their deaths is thanks, in large part, to Johanna, and yet we know so little about her. In our conversation, Caroline explains what drew her to Johanna, what new insights she learned into Vincent, the photograph that inspired it all, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from “Mrs. Van Gogh.” https://carolinesmailes.co.ukhttps://twitter.com/caroline_shttps://www.instagram.com/caroline_smailes/?hl=en Join our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

House of the Dragon was inspired by a medieval period known as The Anarchy. What do the real historical conflicts tell us about power, succession, class, and the status of women in medieval times, and why are fantasy writers so drawn to them? New Generation Thinker Sarah Peverley is Professor English Literature at Liverpool University. She is joined by Professor Carolyne Larrington of St John's College Oxford, and Danielle Park, lecturer in Late Medieval History at the University of York. A 12th century war of succession between Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, and her cousin Stephen of Blois which caused widespread breakdown in law and order in England and Normandy inspired the premise of House of the Dragon, with King Viserys Targaryen I lobbying for his eldest daughter Rhaenyra to be his heir whilst his nobles prefer his son Aegon II. And the warring dynastic families of the Starks and Lannisters in Game of Thrones are based on the 15th century Houses of York and Lancaster who battled for the throne of England throughout of the Wars of the Roses.

This week on inside science Marnie Chesterton is looking at how companies measure and account for their use of renewable energy, how politics is impacting science funding in the UK and the technology behind the Queen's holographic stand in at jubilee celebrations. Dr Anders Bjorn from Concordia university in Montreal talks us through ‘Renewable Energy Certificates' explaining how they can sometimes be disconnected from real-life reductions in emissions. As he explains in a paper in Nature Climate Change this week, this is a problem, with businesses buying renewable energy certificates that may, even with the best of intentions, mean that corporate estimates of how much they have transferred to renewable energy could be out by as much as two-thirds. For example, in Poland, where much of the grid is powered by fossil fuels, a company can buy RECs from energy producers in Norway, where so much of the grid is de-carbonised and users feel no need to purchase such a certificate. As negotiations on the New Greenhouse Gas Protocol get underway, and delegates in Bonn discuss COP 26 progress, yet more food for thought. In the UK, some long term collaborations and research structures are under threat as the ratification of UK membership of Horizon Europe continues to be delayed. This has led to some researchers running out of funds, some having to relinquish membership, and others moving to different institutions in Member Countries. Professor Nicky Clayton at the university of Cambridge has for many years run a “Corvid Palace” where she keeps very clever birds and examines their thinking. It is threatened with closure, and she is searching for funding to keep the research going, even setting up an open letter from academics around the world in support of this globally renowned facility. Carsten Welsh, a physicist at Liverpool University has also been impacted, facing a difficult decision about whether to give up leadership of his newly funded project or leave the country to pursue it. EU Horizon is one of the most ambitious and well-funded research and international collaboration schemes in science and with every EU nation signed up and countries like Canada and Japan keen to join too, it's no wonder the UK wants to take part. Martin Smith, head of policy lab at the Wellcome Trust explains what's getting in our way and what might happen next for British scientists who rely on Horizon to fund their research. And finally, celebrations last weekend for the celebration of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee were seemingly led by a holographic queen riding in the Golden State Coach at the head of the pageant in London. At least, that was how it was reported. But was it really? BBC Inside Science managed to track down the leader of the team that made it – whatever it was – happen, and in a generous world exclusive, Willie Williams, head of Treatment Studio, kindly spills the magic beans on quite how you make a Royal Hologram.

What now for Chelsea FC? After the UK government imposed sanctions on Russian owner Roman Abramovich, the club has been denied access to the funds that enabled investment in some of the world's best players and helped it become one of the biggest clubs in European football. No income, either, from ticket or merchandise sales can be made by the club, throwing its short term future into doubt. It's unclear whether Chelsea can even pay its squad and staff next month, such is the punishing nature of the sanctions put upon Mr Abramovich over his ties to the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. So how will this play out on and off the pitch? We speak to Kieran Maguire who lectures in football finance at the Liverpool University; Justine Walker, an anti-money-laundering compliance specialist based in the UK; Jai McIntosh, a sports writer and Chelsea fan and former Chelsea player Pat Nevin. The programme is presented by Ed Butler and is produced by Elizabeth Hotson and Russell Newlove. Picture: Chelsea FC's crest Credit:PA
