In this episode, we talk to political journalist Seb Whale about his new book The Usual Channels, which reveals the hidden world of Westminster's whips. Seb charts how party discipline has evolved – from the stormy politics of the 1970s and the Maastricht battles of the 1990s to the legendary “black book,” the Brexit showdowns and the short-lived Liz Truss premiership. He explains how the whips' office has adapted to a modern Parliament—especially with the influx of women MPs—and why, even today, whips still wield decisive influence over MPs' careers and remain indispensable despite the pressures of contemporary politics.___ Please help us improve Parliament Matters by completing our Listener Survey. It will only take a few minutes.Go to: https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/QxigqshS Political journalist Seb Whale's new book, The Usual Channels: Inside the Mysterious World of Political Whips, takes us inside the famously secretive world of Westminster's whips. It lifts the lid on how these behind-the-scenes powerbrokers have shaped British politics for decades.Seb shares how he interviewed dozens of current and former whips to piece together the real story – tracking their evolution from the days of Humphrey Atkins, Walter Harrison and Jack Weatherill in the stormy 1974–79 Parliament, through the Maastricht battles of the 1990s, the Brexit upheavals under Theresa May and Boris Johnson, and the dramatic downfall of Liz Truss.We explore how the arrival of many more women MPs under New Labour, the rise of social media, and a more independently minded generation of backbenchers have forced whips to adapt their tactics – without losing their grip on ministerial careers or party discipline. Seb also reveals the truth behind the legendary “black book” of MPs' secrets and the enduring mix of “carrot and stick”.The conversation highlights why the relationship between the Government whips' office and Number 10 has been decisive – from Margaret Thatcher's exit to Liz Truss's collapse – and looks ahead to the whips' future in a Commons marked by high turnover, a commanding majority and ever-fractious politics. Despite these pressures, Seb argues, the whips remain the unseen grease that keeps the machinery of Parliament running.

La chancelière de l'Échiquier, Rachel Reeves, présentera le budget britannique fin novembre 2025. Endettement record, croissance atone et pressions sociales : le gouvernement cherche l'équilibre entre rigueur et relance. Depuis plusieurs trimestres, l'économie britannique piétine, avec une croissance autour de 1%. Dans le même temps, les taux d'intérêt restent très élevés, ce qui renchérit fortement le coût de la dette. Lorsqu'il emprunte sur trente ans, l'État doit désormais payer 5,7% d'intérêts, un niveau inédit depuis la fin des années 1990. Résultat : la charge de la dette dépasse les 100 milliards de livres par an, soit l'équivalent de deux fois le budget militaire du pays. Des engagements budgétaires difficiles à tenir Rachel Reeves s'est fixée deux règles : financer les dépenses courantes grâce aux recettes fiscales et réduire la dette publique en proportion du PIB d'ici 2029-2030. Mais la faiblesse de la croissance, une inflation persistante et la hausse des dépenses sociales creusent le déficit. Les instituts indépendants estiment qu'un « trou noir » budgétaire de 40 à 50 milliards de livres par an pourrait apparaître. Pour y faire face, la ministre exclut toute hausse des grands impôts pesant sur les ménages, ce qui alimente le scepticisme des investisseurs. Entre rigueur et relance, une équation politique délicate Le gouvernement explore plusieurs pistes : hausse ciblée de certaines taxes (propriété, capitaux, secteur bancaire, jeux), lutte contre l'évasion fiscale, adaptation des barèmes et surtout réformes structurelles pour stimuler la productivité. Mais le défi est immense: vieillissement de la population, hausse des dépenses de santé et de retraites, pouvoir d'achat en berne et consommation en recul. En attendant, Rachel Reeves retarde la présentation du budget pour éviter un faux pas, et l'ombre de l'échec de Liz Truss en 2022 plane toujours sur Downing Street.

We'll be back next week with more Merryn Talks Money interviews, but for now we bring you an interesting conversation from the Odd Lots team. These days, everyone is talking about high interest rates across the rich, developed world, while warning of eventual fiscal disaster. But we may have gotten an early glimpse of this anxiety in October 2022, when then-UK Prime Minister Liz Truss unveiled her mini-budget that spooked the gilt market. Well today, rates at the long end of the British yield curve are even higher. So what's going on? Why all this angst now about UK fiscal sustainability and the economy itself? In this episode, we speak with Liz Truss about what she learned during her brief time as the PM. She talks about the political reality of fiscal consolidation, and how difficult it is on both the tax and spending side. And we also discuss what her economic vision was really all about, had she not been forced from the position so quickly. In addition, we talk about the general state of politics, the media, and free speech in the UK.

De obligatiemarkten roeren zich, de rente is in korte tijd wereldwijd flink gestegen. De belangrijkste reden voor die onrust is Frankrijk. Daar kondigde premier François Bayrou vorige maand een vertrouwensstemming aan in het parlement. Die vindt maandag plaats. Kort en simpel: de Fransen moeten de broekriem een gaatje aantrekken en dat willen ze niet. Het zou gezond zijn als de overheid een paar pondjes verliest, maar de Fransen zien dat uiteraard anders. Als de regering valt, betekent dat opnieuw verkiezingen en verder uitstel van de broodnodige bezuinigingen. Meer dan de helft stemt extreemrechts of extreemlinks, op partijen die allemaal leuke beloften doen. En natuurlijk gaan de kiezers achteraf klagen dat de regering niets voor elkaar heeft gekregen. Maar ja, dat is wel waarvoor diezelfde klagende kiezers hebben gestemd. In Nederland is het niet anders.Door deze politieke onzekerheid schiet de Franse rente omhoog. Let wel, als het land niet in de euro zat, had die zomaar op een procent of 6 gestaan, in plaats van de huidige 3,5%.Dit keer bieden de Duitse overheidsfinanciën geen houvast. Duitsland gaat flink investeren in defensie en infrastructuur, wat nodig is, en goed voor de economie. Maar het moet wel ergens van gefinancierd worden. Dat geld wordt geleend, waardoor het aanbod aan obligaties flink toeneemt. Ook dat duwt de rente omhoog. Ook aan de andere kant van de Noordzee is er een financieringscrisis. De rente is daar nu zelfs hoger dan ten tijde van het beruchte Liz Truss-moment, de Britse premier die in 2022 met haar begroting de obligatiemarkt in beroering bracht. En wanneer de rente in het VK stijgt, heeft dat een opwaarts effect op de rente bij ons. Verder is er het effect van de hervorming van het Nederlandse pensioenstelsel. Pensioenfondsen hoeven minder in langlopende obligaties te beleggen, wat eveneens voor meer aanbod van dergelijk schuldpapier zorgt. Al deze krachten duwen de obligatierente dezelfde kant op. En dan gaat het hard. Had u begin 2024 in veilige 30-jarige Duitse staatsobligaties belegd, dan stond u nu op een verlies van bijna 20%. Dat veilige imago heeft dan ook alleen betrekking op de kwaliteit van de debiteur, niet op de tussentijdse koersschommelingen. Het is een klein, maar duidelijk signaal van Mr. Market dat er een einde komt aan het ongebreideld laten oplopen van staatsschulden. Bedenk dat de dotcombubbel in 2000 onder andere werd doorgeprikt doordat techbedrijven niet meer aan hun financieringslasten konden voldoen. De kredietcrisis in 2008 werd veroorzaakt doordat Amerikaanse consumenten te veel schuld hadden.En nu geeft de markt een klein signaal dat, zonder begrotingsdiscipline, de volgende kredietcrisis er een van de overheden zal zijn. Als kiezer en als politicus zou ik toch eens luisteren wat Mr. Market te zeggen heeft. Corné van Zeijl is analist en strateeg bij Cardano en belegt ook privé. Reageer via c.zeijl@cardano.com.

Send us a text◆ Record Gilt and hot sterling bonds give the lie to ‘UK crisis' chatter ◆ Emerging market bonds bask in rampant demand ◆ Qualms creep into public sector bonds as investors get choosyIn a week of sharp contrasts, parts of the bond market are enjoying exceptional conditions for issuance, while others are feeling uneasy. Sometimes both interpretations are given of the same market — like sterling bonds, which have been hammered in the press this week as about to spiral into another ‘Liz Truss moment'.To sterling bond professionals, the media doom-mongering is like a lurid dream — it has scant connection with reality.On the very day that caused most alarm, when the 30 year Gilt yield spiked to a 27 year high, the UK calmly issued its largest ever Gilt — and plenty of corporate and bank issuers made hay in the market too.In the emerging markets of central and eastern Europe and the Middle East (CEEMEA), investor demand is red-blooded, and issuers are responding with waves of deals. The market is on course to break records, but borrowers can still trip up if they price too aggressively.Supranational, sovereign and agency bonds are flecked with light and shadow. While deals like the UK's and Italy's have blown out and set new highs, the odd issuer amid the throng has found the market surprisingly hard going. The mood has cooled since August — what will happen next week when the French government is likely to fall?

On these issues and many more relating to the global economy, financial markets, economic security, and US-China geoeconomic rivalry, there is no-one whose expertise and judgment Darren respects more than that of Brad Setser, today's guest. In a conversation recorded on 1 September, three big themes are canvassed: (i) tariffs, (ii) China, and (iii) Australia's position in a fraying economic order. As the hosts of the “Odd Lots” podcast would say, Brad is the ‘perfect' guest, and Darren could not be more thrilled. What is motivating Trump, and what could constrain him? Which country has negotiated the best deal? Is China's export-driven economic model locked in? Could other countries rein in Beijing's overcapacity? Is the rules-based economic order finished? Brad Setser is the Whitney Shepardson senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. His expertise includes global trade and capital flows, financial vulnerability analysis, and sovereign debt restructuring.

Now Provost of Queen's College, Oxford, (as well as a Times columnist) having stepped down from the IFS this summer after a decade and a half of leading the independent think tank, Johnson offers his verdict on the British economy, what he makes of some of the choices facing Starmer's Labour government (including the possibility of a change to property taxes), his views on some of the decisions they've made so far (including Chancellor Rachel Reeves's raising of employer National Insurance contributions), how much credibility he gives to fears of an IMF bailout, the levels of taxation in the country, the financial policies of Reform UK and the Greens, comparisons between the cost of borrowing under Reevs and Liz Truss, and what he'd do if he were a benign dictator.

This week is the sixth and final episode in our series over Parliament's summer recess, speaking to experts and looking at how Labour have performed in their first year in office in some of the big policy areas, and the biggest has been saved until last; the economy.Fixing the country's finances was their number one priority when Keir Starmer came into office last year, promising to kickstart economic growth after a decade of stagnation and austerity, followed by post-pandemic inflation and the chaotic fallout from the Liz Truss ‘mini-Budget'.But after announcing there was a so-called £22billion ‘black hole' in the country's finances once she arrived in the Treasury, Rachel Reeves announced £40billion of tax increases in her first Budget as Chancellor, and despite saying it would be a ‘one off', this year's sluggish growth figures mean she finds herself in a similarly difficult position as she heads towards her second Budget this autumn.So joining host Alain Tolhurst to discuss how well the government has managed the economy after being handed an undoubtedly difficult inheritance, and whether they will chart a path towards economic growth this parliament, is Helen Miller, the new director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the UK's most-respected economic think tank.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

What if one forgotten law changed the course of history — and we ignored its lesson? In this explosive interview, Matthew Syed – bestselling author, Times columnist, BBC broadcaster and former Olympian – joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to uncover the shocking truth about cousin marriage, tribalism, immigration, and the hidden ban that built Britain. From the 6th-century ban on cousin marriage that forced people to look beyond their tribe, to today's siloed communities in places like Rochdale and Bradford, Syed argues that ignoring these lessons has left Britain vulnerable. We dive into immigration policy, Labour's failures, the rise of cultural relativism, and why banning cousin marriage may be the only answer left.

It's been a year since the shocking Southport attacks and the controversial social media crackdown that followed. Gordon Rayner speaks to Simon Pearson, a teacher who lost his job after criticising ‘two-tier justice' in the case of Lucy Connolly who was jailed last year after posting about the summer riots on her X account. In a post on social media, Pearson, who taught adults at Preston College, said Connolly's online comments were “obviously wrong” but she “should not have been jailed”. We hear how Pearson has struggled to find another job after he was sacked and why he is taking legal action. Meanwhile, Tory infighting erupts as Kemi Badenoch and Liz Truss go head-to-head in public. In a Telegraph column, Badenoch blamed Truss's 2022 mini-budget for wrecking the Conservative economic legacy, while Truss accessed Badenoch of repeating “spurious narratives” to deflect from her own party's failures. Tim and Cleo discuss what is really behind this clash and what it means for the party.Producers: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells Hosted on Acast.

featured Wiki of the Day

fWotD Episode 3004: Liz Truss Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 26 July 2025, is Liz Truss.Mary Elizabeth Truss (born 26 July 1975) is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from September to October 2022. On her fiftieth day in office, she stepped down amid a government crisis, making her the shortest-serving prime minister in British history. The member of Parliament (MP) for South West Norfolk from 2010 to 2024, Truss held various Cabinet positions under three prime ministers—David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson—lastly as foreign secretary from 2021 to 2022.Truss studied philosophy, politics and economics at Merton College, Oxford, and was the president of the Oxford University Liberal Democrats. In 1996, she joined the Conservative Party. She worked at Royal Dutch Shell and Cable & Wireless, and was the deputy director of the think tank Reform. After two unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the House of Commons, she became the MP for South West Norfolk at the 2010 general election. As a backbencher she called for reform in several policy areas including the economy, childcare and mathematics in education. Truss co-founded the Free Enterprise Group of Conservative MPs and wrote or co-wrote a number of papers and books, including After the Coalition and Britannia Unchained.Truss was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Childcare and Education from 2012 to 2014 before Cameron appointed her Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in a cabinet reshuffle. Although she campaigned for Britain to remain in the European Union, Truss supported Brexit following the outcome of the 2016 referendum. Following Cameron's resignation in 2016 his successor, Theresa May, appointed her Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, making Truss the first woman to serve as Lord Chancellor in the office's thousand-year history; in the aftermath of the 2017 general election she was demoted to Chief Secretary to the Treasury. After May announced her resignation in May 2019 Truss supported Johnson's successful bid to become Conservative leader and prime minister. He appointed Truss Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade in July and subsequently to the additional role of Minister for Women and Equalities in September. Johnson promoted Truss to foreign secretary in the 2021 cabinet reshuffle; during her time in the position, she led negotiations on the Northern Ireland Protocol and the British response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.In September 2022, Truss defeated Rishi Sunak in a leadership election to succeed Johnson, who had resigned because of an earlier government crisis, and was appointed prime minister by Queen Elizabeth II two days before the monarch's death; the government's business was subsequently suspended during a national mourning period of ten days. In response to the rising cost of living and increased energy prices, Truss's ministry announced the Energy Price Guarantee. The government then announced large-scale tax cuts and borrowing, which led to financial instability and were largely reversed. Facing mounting criticism and loss of confidence in her leadership, Truss announced her resignation as leader of the Conservative Party on 20 October. Sunak was elected unopposed as her successor, and appointed prime minister on 25 October. After spending the duration of Sunak's premiership on the backbenches, Truss lost her seat at the 2024 general election.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Saturday, 26 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Liz Truss on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

After Britain's government capitulated to a backbench rebellion over welfare benefits earlier this month, bond vigilantes bared their teeth and the prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, had to scramble to assure markets that he would not swap his chancellor for someone more spendy. Fears over the public finances had also struck in January, October and, most alarmingly, in 2022, when Liz Truss was in office. This week the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), a fiscal watchdog, warned that, as Britain becomes less able to deal with future shocks, it will face “daunting” risks. 知识点:panic n. /ˈpænɪk/ a sudden strong feeling of fear or nervousness. 恐慌 e.g. The news of the earthquake caused panic among the residents. 地震的消息在居民中引发了恐慌。 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记,请关注微信公众号「早安英文」,回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你! 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》,带你精读最新外刊,了解国际最热事件:分析语法结构,拆解长难句,最接地气的翻译,还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻,想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达,有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者(如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等) 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程,拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解,系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记,包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等,帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Steve, an MP for 14 years and a minister under Theresa May, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, tells James about the different rebellions he was a part of (from Brexit to Covid), explains how to organise a successful one and reveals how he has lost close friends when he has made the decision to compromise.He also blames Labour's problems on their ‘bombs not benefits' approach, explains why the current welfare rebellion demonstrates that ‘the facts of life are Conservative' and argues that it has been a mistake for the Conservatives not the support Labour's original approach to reducing the winter fuel allowance.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Megan McElroy.

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride delivered a speech today where he attempted to banish the ghost of Liz Truss and improve the Conservatives' reputation over fiscal credibility. And he compared leader Kemi Badenoch to Thatcher, saying she too struggled at first and will 'get better' at the dispatch box. LBC broadcaster Iain Dale and the Spectator's economics editor Michael Simmons join deputy political editor James Heale to unpack Stride's speech, talk about Labour's latest policy announcement over free school meals and discuss why both the main parties are struggling with fiscal credibility.Plus, Iain talks about his new book Margaret Thatcher and the myths he seeks to dispel. Why does he think the former PM still endures 35 years after she left office?Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Liz Truss, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, says she wants to be part of the “second American revolution” — “Trump-style.” With “Britian heading for bankruptcy,” “grooming gangs,” unchecked immigration, and the rising threat of Islamism, is it too late to Make Europe Great Again? Despite an unhinged deep state and free-speech crackdowns, Liz Truss still has hope, which is why she is working on a new media venture to rival the BBC. She exposes how the Bank of England “turned on her” and then marvels at the incompetence of Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney before offering a chilling warning: “If we do not turn this around within 10 years, the West is finished.”           GLENN'S SPONSORS          Relief Factor          Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!
