Headaches for political parties this week as high profile members voice their opinions. Whether it was Lee Anderson losing the Conservative whip for his comments on "Islamists" controlling London Mayor Sadiq Khan, former Prime Minister Liz Truss voicing thoughts on the "deep state" alongside presidential hopeful Donald Trump's former chief advisor, or the SNP's Fergus Ewing calling his own party "authoritarian" after being suspended, the team discuss the fallout this week from some strong words. Also, First Minister Humza Yousaf considers a public inquiry into the murder of Emma Caldwell, following the conviction of her killer 19 years after the murder and what he described as "systemic failings" in the case, and the Scottish Budget passes in Holyrood.

With pro-Palestinian marches in the spotlight, the prime minister saying mob rule is replacing democratic rule and the government announcing more money to protect MPs whose homes are being targeted, this week Amol and Nick explore where the line stands on legitimate protest.And they look at why Lee Anderson - the MP who lost the Conservative whip after accusing London Mayor Sadiq Khan of being ‘controlled' by Islamists – still holds power over the Conservative party. Amol and Nick speak to veteran gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell about why he thinks movements have to push boundaries and engage in direct action to effect change.And they also hear from Dave Rich, director of policy at the Community Security Trust, which protects British Jews from antisemitism, on why he thinks many of the pro-Palestinian protesters are going too far.Episodes of The Today Podcast land every Thursday and watch out for bonus episodes.

Laiba, Dev and Jani are just some of the Young Food Ambassadors for the Food Foundation who report from the front line of food insecurity and campaign for the right to food for every child in the UK. The Sheila McKechnie (SMK) Foundation awarded the YFAs second place in the ‘Young Campaigner Award' category for our Feed the Future campaign. It recognises how much they have achieved during the campaign, which calls on the Government to extend school meals eligibility in response to evidence that 800,000 children living in poverty in England don't get a Free School Meal. The Young Food Ambassadors helped to plan our ‘Superpowers of Free School Meals' event in Westminster for MPs, performing a spoken word piece to an audience of over 200 people. They also worked with The Food Foundation to design a social media campaign and wrote to their MPs. This campaign contributed to London Mayor Sadiq Khan's commitment to extend Free School Meals to an additional 270,000 children for one year from September 2023 in London. While the campaign continues as so many children in poverty are still miss out on Free School Meals, we're grateful to the Sheila McKechnie Foundation for recognising the Young Food Ambassadors hard work and all they have achieved so far.Here Laiba, Dev and Jani look back on the year, remembering the residential where they planned the Feed the Future campaign and Laiba's lunch with Holly Lynch MP.Click here for the Food Foundation Manifesto.

This week's episode is with Charlie Mullins OBE, the founder of Pimlico Plumbing and the self-styled ‘most famous plumber in the world'.Charlie was born in 1952 in north London to a working class family. In his own words, they were very poor, and he remembers going to school with holes in his clothes. He began working from the age of 8 or 9, and that work ethic stuck. He started his company when he was still in his twenties, and sold it two years ago for £147m.He was awarded an OBE in 2015 for services to business, and has been an advisor to a handful of prime ministers and governments.We talk about a lot of topics, including his upbringing, what kind of father and husband he thinks he was, his recent ban from Twitter - having, in his words, stepped over the line when speaking about London Mayor Sadiq Khan, and how that is likely to impact his own Mayoral ambitions, how he thinks he wouldn't have said those things was he in better health at the time, the new business he's creating that will rival Pimlico Plumbing - and how he doesn't care that they're upset about his new venture, and much, much more.Charlie says some things, both in this conversation and outside of it, which I don't necessarily agree with. I think it's important to be able to sit across a table and have conversations with people we might not always agree with, in good faith.I think all too often, in 2023, we are seemingly, collectively, almost foaming at the mouth in our want for people to be punished and cancelled. I think that's a dangerous game to play, and a sure way to ensure that the question isn't if something we've done or said comes back to bite us on the backside, but when. I'm sure there's a phrase about throwing stones and glass houses that applies, and I would sooner have a conversation than maintain this polarisation. At the best, opinions shift. At the worst, opinions don't change and each of you are only more staunch in your belief, which is no bad thing.About The Starting Line PodcastFrom a turbulent childhood marred by domestic violence, addiction and crime to being named the #1 most influential PR person, my journey has been anything but conventional.At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time, and left the chaos of my family council house, determined to rewrite my story and break the cycle so many understandably struggle to.By 30, I was a successful agency owner with a #1 best-selling book. We were working with some of the UK's leading brands, entrepreneurs and celebrities, building, shaping and protecting reputations, using my influence to raise more than a million pounds for sick children.Hosted by me, Rich Leigh, The Starting Line Podcast is your weekly dose of inspiration, featuring powerful interviews with entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes, philanthropists and more.

Cometh the day, cometh the Ulez as London Mayor Sadiq Khan's flagship scheme to fight pollution in the capital goes live.It means drivers crossing the boundary into outer London will have to pay a £12.50 fee if their cars don't meet exhaust emissions requirements.There have been protests against the expanded Ultra low emissions zone, now boundaried by the North Circular and South Circular, while vandals also targeted enforcement cameras.Supporters say it's crucial for improving Londoners' respiratory health but critics call it an anti-car tax, saying the scheme will hit the poorest, hard-working Londoners who rely on a daily runabout vehicle. The Leader podcast's joined by the Standard's local democracy reporter covering City Hall, Noah Vickers, along with Karina Fernandez, a mother of two young sons and a campaigner for clean air group Mums for Lungs, plus Brian Mooney, spokesman for the Alliance of British Drivers in London. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

London is about to have the world's largest pollution charging area, as the capital's outer suburbs are added to the inner city Ultra Low Emission Zone - ULEZ. Drivers of vehicles that don't meet emissions standards will be charged £12.50 a day – with motorists facing the threat of a £180 fine if they don't comply. ULEZ expansion was widely regarded as a key factor in the Conservatives holding onto Boris Johnson's old Uxbridge seat in a recent by election; and unlike in other English cities the government is refusing to fund a scrappage scheme for non compliant cars. That's led to claims by London Mayor Sadiq Khan that they are weaponising air pollution.Adrian Goldberg hears from mum of two Parisa Wright from Bromley, the founder of the charity Greener and Cleaner; and Oli Lord, Head of Strategy at Clean Cities Campaign UK.Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says the capital's tourist economy is “roaring back” to life after Covid - but is it, and who's paying a fortune for those inflated entry ticket, food and drink prices?Research released by City Hall shows two million more international visitors are forecast to arrive in London in 2023, compared with last year, which is projected to produce an extra £674 million in revenue.It comes after London's music and film industry enjoyed a bumper July, with more than one million people attending live music shows or boosting cinemas' busiest weekend in four years with the release of the Barbie and Oppenheimer films-.Some of the biggest events to come this summer include Notting Hill Carnival, All Points East festival in Victoria Park featuring the likes of Stormzy and The Strokes, plus London Fashion Week.And what about getting all these extra passengers around the capital?

The Marcus Lipton Youth Club is the last dedicated youth center still standing in its pocket of south London. 馬可斯．利普頓青年俱樂部是倫敦南部最後一個專門的青年中心，至今仍屹立。 But it is teetering. Nearly half of London's youth centers have closed in the past decade as Britain has cut money for youth services, as well as for welfare, schools and drug and alcohol treatment, according to the most recent available data. Marcus Lipton used to count on hundreds of thousands of pounds a year in government funding. Now, it gets nearly zero. 但它正搖搖欲墜。根據最新數據，由於英國削減青年服務，以及福利、學校和毒品與酒精治療的資金，過去十年倫敦有將近一半青年中心關閉。馬可斯．利普頓過去仰賴政府每年數十萬英鎊補助，如今幾乎為零。 “Just look around you,” said Ira Campbell, 55, the manager of the club, which offers counseling, warm meals and sports for young people. “This place is a safe haven.” 該俱樂部為青年提供諮詢、熱騰騰餐點跟運動，55歲經理坎伯說：「看看你周圍，這是一個安全避風港。」 Marcus Lipton lies in the shadow of the Loughborough Estate public housing project, where two of the Conservative government's longtime priorities — fighting crime and trying to reduce the budget deficit — collide. 馬可斯．利普頓俱樂部正籠罩在拉夫堡莊園公共住宅計畫的陰影下，保守黨政府長期兩大優先施政項目—打擊犯罪跟試圖減少預算赤字，在該計畫有所衝突。 Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is building new prisons and recruiting more police officers as part of his party's pledge to be tough on crime. He has also proposed a budget that would make deep spending reductions in the coming years, forcing officials to find savings in programs that have already been whittled to the bone during a decade of austerity. 英國首相蘇納克正建造新的監獄，並招募更多警察，這是他的政黨嚴厲打擊犯罪承諾的部分行動。他還提出一項預算計畫，未來幾年將大幅削減支出，迫使官員們在十年撙節政策期間已被嚴重削減的項目再設法省錢。 Budget cuts during that decade, instituted in response to the global financial crisis of 2008, hit the poorest neighborhoods of Britain's capital particularly hard, according to the Institute for Government, an independent research group in London. Those neighborhoods are also where serious youth violence, like homicide, has risen or remained disproportionately high after austerity, data from the office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan shows. 倫敦獨立研究機構政府研究所指出，為因應2008年全球金融危機，這十年間實施的預算刪減對英國首都最窮困社區的打擊尤為嚴重。根據倫敦市長卡恩辦公室的數據，這些社區也是在撙節開支政策實施後，凶殺案之類嚴重青年暴力事件有所上升或依舊居高不下的地方。 Annual knife violence involving teenage victims in the city increased by nearly 40% to 5,332 in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic began, from 3,809 in 2012, according to police figures obtained by The New York Times. (There was later a dip in serious youth violence during virus-related lockdowns, most likely because of reduced social contact.) 紐約時報從警方獲得的數據顯示，在新冠病毒大流行開始前的2019年，倫敦市涉及受害者為青少年的持刀暴力事件，從2012年的3809件增加近40%至5332件。（後來在與病毒有關的防疫封鎖期間，嚴重青年暴力事件有所減少，很可能是因為社會接觸減少。） Residents of the Loughborough Estate, already frustrated by sharply rising utility bills and food costs, say that the government would rather pay to lock up young people than spend money on projects that might provide them with positive activities or help their parents to make ends meet. 已對急劇上漲水電費與食物價格感到沮喪的拉夫堡莊園居民們說，政府寧願花錢把年輕人關起來，也不願資助可為他們提供正面活動的計畫，或幫助他們的父母維持生計。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/6978804 Powered by Firstory Hosting
