HS2 was conceived at a cost of £37.5 billion and originally supposed to link London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. It will now connect only two stations outside London and Birmingham at a projected cost of more than £100 billion, and perhaps won't even be ‘high speed'. To discuss what this failure tells us about Britain's capacity to build things and the consequences for our everyday lives, James is joined by Gillian Plimmer, the FT's infrastructure correspondent, and Matthew Lawrence, director of Common Wealth. They discuss the unique features of the UK's ‘outsourcing state', beset by bloated projects weighed down by the increasing costs of private capital, and the long, corrosive impact of the failure of David Cameron's government to invest in infrastructure when borrowing was cheap.

Richie is joined by Staurt Waiton. Stuart is an author, columnist and Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology at Abertay University. He is well-known across the UK as a fierce defender of free speech. He is a regular writer for The Spectator and The Critic. On today's show, Stuart discusses the UK government's decision to ban under-16's from social media sites, societal rage - what's causing it? the attack on activist Young Bob in Manchester and Stuart's work with Justice For Innocent Men Scotland. As many as one thousand men may have been wrongfully convicted of sexual offences because judges ruled that potentially exculpatory evidence was inadmissible. https://www.jimsscotland.org/https://www.facebook.com/stuart.waiton/https://scottishunionforeducation.substack.com/about

Adam Montgomery had twenty-one criminal cases in New Hampshire alone when a Massachusetts juvenile court judge decided he was fit to raise a child. The Harmony Montgomery case began the moment Judge Mark Newman awarded sole custody of a five-year-old girl to a man whose record included a stabbing, a suspected homicide, and shooting another man in the face. The court moved so fast it didn't wait for the required home study to be completed. Ten months after that ruling, Harmony was dead.Now the New Hampshire Supreme Court has reversed Montgomery's murder conviction on procedural grounds — the latest in a chain of institutional failures that stretches across two states and seven years. The court found that trying the murder charge alongside a separate assault charge in one trial denied Montgomery a fair proceeding. The assault evidence was airtight. The murder evidence depended on a single witness with credibility problems. The strong case dragged the weak one across the finish line, and the Supreme Court sent it back.But the system failures started long before the courtroom. DCYF caseworker Demetrios Tsaros was assigned to investigate reports that Harmony was being harmed — despite having served as Adam Montgomery's youth counselor fifteen years earlier. He visited the home, found it filthy, saw bruising around Harmony's eye, never spoke to the girl, and emailed police that everything looked fine. Manchester police responded to the Montgomery residence sixteen times in a single year. Nobody pulled Harmony out.Tony Brueski breaks down how two states failed one child — from the custody decision to the killing to the conviction that was supposed to hold and didn't. Montgomery still faces decades in prison. Harmony still has no grave.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors made Adam Montgomery an offer at sentencing in the Harmony Montgomery case: reveal where you put your daughter's remains, and we'll recommend a lighter sentence. He sat in the courtroom and said nothing. He walked into his own jury selection smiling. He refused to attend most of his trial. And he has never once told anyone where Harmony is.That silence now sits alongside a unanimous New Hampshire Supreme Court decision reversing Montgomery's second-degree murder conviction on procedural grounds. The court ruled that trying the killing charge and a separate assault charge together in one trial prejudiced the jury. The assault evidence was strong — multiple witnesses, no dispute. The murder evidence depended almost entirely on Kayla Montgomery's testimony, and the court found the jury may not have convicted without the assault case propping it up.The state intends to retry the murder charge. Montgomery remains behind bars on assault, evidence tampering, witness tampering, and what he did to Harmony's remains — hiding her in a duffel bag, a car trunk, a ceiling vent at a homeless shelter, and a walk-in freezer at the pizza shop where he worked. He used lime on his own daughter's body. He rented a U-Haul and drove her remains to a disposal site somewhere between Manchester and Massachusetts. None of those convictions have been disturbed.Tony Brueski traces the full timeline: Montgomery's twenty-one-entry criminal history, the Massachusetts custody decision that put Harmony in his care, the DCYF caseworker who saw bruises and emailed police that everything was fine, and the procedural failure that cracked the one conviction that was supposed to speak for a five-year-old girl who cannot speak for herself.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nadine Merabi is a British-Lebanese clothes designer. She is the founder of the brand which shares her name and is based in Manchester. She is mother to two little girls aged 4 and 5.Nadine says at the heart of the brand is a desire to instil confidence in young women and make them feel great about themselves. Nadine played hockey for England for 10 years and always felt she struggled to fit in. She says it took until the age of 29 to stop worrying about what everyone thought about her.Post-hockey, Nadine explored other career options and I loved her story about how she reframed a lowly bar job as a glass collector, as being a chance to network. She taught herself how to sew by watching YouTube tutorial videos, and built the Merabi clothes business because she couldn't find anything to wear. Her brand is now over 10 years old, and in 2025 she won the Entrepreneur of the Year award at the World Retail Congress.She loves it when her daughters see ‘one of mummy's dresses' on Strictly. They are certainly part of my go-to touring wardrobe too. They are fun, they make me feel supported, and often - the icing on the cake! - they have pockets!!

In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Nachi Gordon sits down with Rabbi Shmuel Diamond for an unforgettable conversation about one of the most dramatic transformations you'll ever hear. Rabbi Diamond grew up completely secular in North London, in a world where the very idea of God was treated as ridiculous, and didn't learn the Aleph Beis until he was 21. He takes us back through his years of searching, traveling through India, chasing photography, and sinking deeper and deeper into drugs, until he hit a point so low he knew something had to change. Then came the small, almost absurd moment in a Manchester shop that he still points to as the night his teshuva truly began.   From there, the conversation follows his climb back, his move to Israel, and his journey to becoming religious. Rabbi Diamond shares how discovering Rabbi Manis Friedman's teachings on Tanya completely changed his approach to Yiddishkeit, taking him from a Yid who looked the part to someone who finally felt genuinely connected.   He also shares the story behind his "Journey to a Blessed Life" course, which is helping thousands rebuild their relationship with themselves, with others, and with Hashem.

Nesta entrevista ao Alta Definição, longe dos relvados, João Cancelo revela a Daniel Oliveira momentos profundamente marcantes da sua vida pessoal, num testemunho raro de um dos futebolistas portugueses mais reconhecidos internacionalmente. O lateral, atualmente com 32 anos, partilhou com abertura pouco habitual o trauma que moldou a sua vida e carreira: o acidente de viação que vitimou a sua mãe quando tinha apenas 17 anos. Com uma narrativa que oscilou entre a serenidade de quem já fez as pazes com o passado e a emoção de quem ainda carrega essa perda, Cancelo descreveu os instantes imediatamente após o acidente com uma clareza perturbadora. “Lembro-me do último grito da minha mãe. Lembro-me do meu irmão a chorar. Eu tentei levantar o carro para tirar a minha mãe debaixo do carro e não consegui”, confessou. Para além do relato do trágico acidente, a conversa percorreu outros episódios igualmente reveladores de uma vida pautada pela adversidade e resiliência, desde a infância humilde no Barreiro, com um pai emigrante na Suíça e uma mãe que acumulava três empregos por dia, até ao assalto violento que sofreu em Manchester. O futebolista falou ainda da morte súbita do seu colega Diogo Jota, com quem partilhava o balneário da seleção nacional, e da forma como essa perda reavivou a sua própria dor. Mas foi ao refletir sobre o legado familiar que Cancelo mostrou a sua convicção mais profunda: “Houve uma vida antes da minha mãe falecer e depois da minha mãe falecer. Completamente diferente, porque comecei a ver a vida de outra maneira. Tive que crescer muito rápido”.

W/C 8th June 2026Because this week is a bit of an 'on location' episode I didn't get around to mentioning a few other things.Firstly, the parking notice appeared for APCOA who handle the parking at Manchester Airport, a cool £100 fine for genuinely forgetting to pay the £5 charge. As it turns out I was in the parking zone for 2 minutes and thirty-five seconds. I may well still share my thoughts on this further down the road...Secondly, and before heading off, it was Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit in Manchester at Bridgewater Hall. Everything about it was sublime, the venue, the setlist, the band and the man himself.He played a few 'band versions' of songs from his latest release, a solo acoustic album called Foxes in the Snow, and I can't think of a better way to name this week's episode than to share one of those songs. Especially as I don't recall a pertinent song about overhead lockers of very big barges.Stay safe.Crimson and Clay - Jason Isbell (Solo Version)Crimson and Clay - Jason Isbell (Band Version)Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

CrowdScience listener Haruka has been making origami cranes out of paper since she was a child. Creating one out of a cloth napkin, however, was a next-level challenge. It gave her a new appreciation of paper's excellent foldability, and made her wonder: what is it about paper's structure that means it remembers its creases? We set out to unfold her question as we peer into paper's secrets. First stop: Frogmore, the world's first mechanised paper mill. Here, Dr Steven Mann is on hand to explain the papermaking process, the chemistry of paper, and why that makes for a foldable sheet. Host Caroline Steel tries to make a paper crane, assisted by both listener Haruka and origami teacher Toshiko Kurata, who also introduces us to an array of paper types. Each type folds differently, and, with the help of a trusty microscope, Professor Bill Sampson from the University of Manchester reveals why. Finally, we see just how complex paper folding can get, meeting Professor Tomohiro Tachi from the University of Tokyo, and his invention, The Origamizer.

She describes Starmer as a "wounded dog limping towards the exit door," concluding simply that "he's not a leader."Mark Borkowski highlights the internal party despair, noting insiders have long since "given up on Keir."Looking ahead, Moxham predicts Manchester's Andy Burnham will secure a slim win at the Makerfield election and ultimately "end up in number 10."Elon Musk and the Illusion of ValueThe panel then tackles Elon Musk's trajectory toward becoming the world's first trillionaire. Borkowski holds nothing back, blasting Musk for "interfering with British politics from the other side of the world with some really disgusting and inciting language." He strongly challenges the cultural idolization of "mega tech bros," asking if they should be viewed as examples for humanity: "I argue you're not."Moxham balances this critique with a critical lesson for comms professionals, noting Musk has "absolutely managed the art of perception to drive value in his businesses." For any CEO doubting PR's bottom-line impact, Moxham argues Musk is the ultimate proof of its power—even if he completely rewrites the rules of public accountability.The World Cup Paradox: Unity vs. GeopoliticsFinally, the conversation shifts to the upcoming North American World Cup. Moxham underscores the immense emotional and cultural stakes of the beautiful game, sharing a striking quote: "The World Cup is the only event on earth where a billion people cry at the same time. The question is... whether those are tears of joy or tears of hatred."While Borkowski notes that toxic global politics is already seeping into the tournament, he remains optimistic that great football will ultimately win out and rescue everyone from politicians to brands.Master the Future: PR in AI MasterclassAs technology and perception continue to redefine the global corporate landscape, staying ahead of the curve is non-negotiable. Head over to the PRmoment homepage to grab your tickets for the PR in AI Masterclass. Tickets are flying out the door for both the face-to-face and virtual sessions—don't miss out on learning from an absolutely amazing lineup of industry experts!

The third episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded in Nottingham, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Martin Fitzgerald to discuss the local pub scene, Indian restaurants, students, and more... The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland. Well, sort of. It's equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it's as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves. The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true' pub. Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob's mates), we'll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers. The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham. Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don't need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help... Follow @pubcrawlerspod for more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In 1998, eight months into Tony Blair's government, seven gay and bisexual working-class men from Bolton were convicted at Crown Court of buggery and gross indecency for having consensual sex together in a private home. No victim. No complaint. Some went to prison. All were placed on the sex offenders register. The laws used against them dated back to 1895, and in one case to 1533. Greater Manchester Police, the same force that prosecuted Alan Turing, pursued this case with a fervour no other police force in the country was matching at the time. Almost nobody knows this happened. Hugh Sheehan is the writer and audio producer behind Criminally Queer: The Bolton 7, the five-part BBC Sounds documentary series that spent years in the making and is referenced in Russell T Davies' Channel 4 drama Tip Toe, starring Alan Cumming as a gay bar owner in Manchester's Gay Village. Davies made Tip Toe because, in his words, the fight is back on. He's right. And the Bolton Seven are a significant part of why. In this episode of Outcast World, Graeme and Hugh cover the full story: the centuries-old laws that remained quietly on the books after partial decriminalisation in 1967, the two-man rule that made consensual group sex a criminal act regardless of what straight people were doing, the class dimension that meant working-class men from Bolton had no legal defences that a wealthier man in a privately owned home might have had, and the Chief Constable whose fundamentalist homophobia had shaped Greater Manchester Police for over a decade before the Bolton Seven were ever arrested. Criminally Queer: The Bolton 7 is available on BBC Sounds, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

We're at a pivotal moment in world geopolitics. Increasingly the masks and the gloves are both off - but it's not a binary choice any more between two sets of suits in slightly different coloured ties: now we have the right showing its true colours  - and a chance for the progressive majority in this country to find its feet and lead us towards a genuinely thoughtful, emotionally literate, high-bandwidth politics that ditches the toxic tribalism and instead lays the ground for a future that could actually work. We're joined this week by Neal Lawson, co-founder and Executive Director of the progressive pressure group, Compass; and Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project. Neal is a member of the Labour Party, and Rupert of the Green party and we came together to discuss the forthcoming by-election in Makerfield, where Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester is standing as a candidate, with a view to standing for leadership of the Labour Party if he wins.  His main challenger is the Reform party led by Nigel Farage.  The Greens are newly invigorated after their recent win in the Gorton and Denton by-election in Manchester, so there has been a lot of conversation in progressive circles as to whether the Greens should step away to give Burnham a clear run. This seemed a good moment to have a vigorous conversation - to explore the possibilities and potential and the routes forward should Burnham win.

From the hallowed ranks of the FC Nordsjælland academy to the bright lights of Old Trafford, Patrick Dorgu's rise has been nothing short of meteoric. The versatile Danish international has rapidly evolved from a promising young talent into one of the most exciting, multi-positional weapons in Ruben Amorim's tactical revolution.In this episode, we break down Dorgu's sensational 2025–26 campaign and analyze how a player drawing comparisons to a young Gareth Bale became United's ultimate big-game clutch performer:Recapping his massive goals on the grandest stages—including his clinical strike away at Arsenal, a poetic Boxing Day winner against Newcastle, and that unforgettable goal in the 2-0 Manchester derby triumph over City.Dissecting his unique ability to seamlessly transition between full-back, wing-back, and winger on both flanks, providing United with rare tactical flexibility.Evaluating his highly efficient return of 4 goals and 4 assists across 26 appearances, and how his creative intelligence allows him to consistently outperform his expected metrics.We also dive into his international exploits with Denmark—including scoring just 42 seconds into his senior debut—and discuss why this dynamic talent is quickly building an incredible legacy in Manchester red.

We're doing an event this Friday! Join us + Second Hand Cindy this Friday for a BUZZBALL event at 5880 Manchester, aka the 7/11 by LAX. We'll be there from 3-5pm and Cindy will be signing your Buzzballz and doing a dramatic reading of her finest Buzzball memories. It will be one of the weirder things you do this summer, so how can you say no?? We heard your stories of times you won, then lost. Spencer Pratt thought he won 2nd place in the Mayoral race, but has since learned he lost the lead. This led to stories about failed jackpots, un-winning new cars & more. Jake interviewed people on the streets of LA asking them what advice they have for the many international tourists about to flood the streets for the World Cup. It gave us one of our favorite new catchphrases. Tourists: LA love you. We also heard another round of Vanessa being drunk at pride and it was quite possibly even better than yesterday's. Booobieeesss!!

Carl, Stelios, and Connor discuss the latest brutal attack in Northern Ireland, the government doubling-down on their two-tier system, and Andy Burnham's record on the grooming gangs in Manchester.

[00:30] The American Spectacle (18 minutes) The NBA Finals game last night was a spectacle of American division. [18:30] A Chain of Bloody Crimes (37 minutes) A Somali migrant in Northern Ireland tried to behead a man in the street. A schoolgirl was arrested for stabbing three people at a Manchester academy. In the Israel-Iran war, Iran is the knife-wielding terrorist, and Israel is the victim being criticized for defending itself. The Bible prophesies that in the end time, our nations will be “full of bloody crimes.” But it also shows how to have real joy in these dangerous times.

Reclaiming Colonial Architecture (Routledge, 2024) explores the built inheritance of colonialism and considers how architects, heritage practitioners, students, communities, and activists might narrate, care for, transform, or challenge them today.

This interview was conducted by Matthew Wells, Senior Lecturer in Architectural History at the University of Manchester. His research explores nineteenth-century European architecture, focusing on artistic techniques, technology, and political economy. Wells is the author of Modelling the Metropolis: The Architectural Model in Victorian London (2023). Learn more about your ad choices.
