Hace dos días Anas Sarwar, líder del laborismo escocés pidió la dimisión de Keir Starmer tras unos días difíciles en los que habían dimitido su jefe de gabinete, Morgan McSweeney y su jefe de prensa, Tim Allan. Por ahora la marea ha llegado hasta ahí, pero es posible que otros barones del partido se sumen a Sarwar y exijan un relevo en el 10 de Downing Street. Seguramente si no lo han hecho aún es porque todavía no ha surgido un candidato con posibilidades de hacerse con una quinta parte del grupo parlamentario, que es lo que se necesita para cambiar de líder del partido y de primer ministro. El origen de esta crisis, la enésima que sufre Starmer, hay que ir a buscarlo a Peter Mandelson, embajador en Estados Unidos hasta septiembre del año pasado, cuando Starmer decidió cesarle tras revelarse que había tenido una relación muy cercana con Jeffrey Epstein. Le había nombrado solo seis meses antes por indicación de McSweeney. Pero el asunto Mandelson es solo una piedra más en el saco de piedras que carga Keir Starmer a la espalda. Es el primer ministro más impopular de la historia del país, al menos desde que la popularidad se mide. No es del todo extraño. Nada ha mejorado en el país a lo largo del último año y medio, que es el tiempo que Starmer lleva en el poder. Heredó un país que atravesaba varias crisis encadenadas entre sí y se ha demostrado incapaz de encarrilar una solución para ninguna de ellas. También ha fallado a sus promesas. En campaña, por ejemplo, prometió no subir los impuestos a los trabajadores, pero esa promesa no podía permitírsela con el déficit y la deuda pública que el Reino Unido tiene en estos momentos. Ha hecho justo lo contrario, ir elevando la carga fiscal hasta ponerla en máximos históricos. Su amplísima mayoría parlamentaria no le ha servido realmente de nada porque buena parte de su partido quiere que la política del gobierno sea aún más izquierdista de lo que ya lo es. Eso le impide tomar las decisiones necesariamente impopulares que la economía y, especialmente, el Tesoro británico necesitan. Esas decisiones Starmer o las aplazado o las ha revertido tan pronto como ha empezado a sentir daño político. Su gestión interna es también errática. En 19 meses han pasado por Downing street dos jefes de gabinete, cuatro jefes de prensa y once ministros. Sin un proyecto coherente ni unas ideas claras sobre las que apoyarse, Starmer sobrevive a merced de los acontecimientos que, en ocasiones, derivan en escándalos. Las elecciones aún están lejos, pero si se celebrasen mañana las perdería por mucho para entregar el poder a Nigel Farage, líder de Reform UK, un partido que crece como la espuma a expensas de los conservadores. Lo más probable es que Starmer trate de aguantar todo lo que pueda mientras va entregando más y más poder al ala izquierda del partido para mantener el apoyo de sus diputados. No hay garantía de que eso funcione. En mayo se celebrarán elecciones locales y las regionales en Escocia y Gales. Las cosas no pintan bien para los laboristas en las encuestas. Quizá de ahí ya no pueda pasar. Pues bien, para echar un vistazo sobre esta nueva crisis que azota al Gobierno británico, una especialmente virulenta, nos acompaña Andrea que, como bien saben los contraescuchas, tiene auténtica devoción por la caótica política británica. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

What makes a good New Yorker cartoon? More to the point, who makes a good New Yorker cartoon? In our latest episode of As Told To: The Ghostwriting Podcast, we visit with the magazine's self-described "toonsome twosome," the cartooning team of Bizzy Coy and Lia Strasser, and discover what it takes to tap the talents of a like-minded soul to help you discover your best creative self.  "It was out of frustration that I reached out to Bizzy," reflects Lia, the illustrator of this dynamic duo. "I was struggling in the sense that I'd had these ideas that I thought were great and these drawings that I'd thought were great and I'd been submitting to the New Yorker for about a year and nothing was hitting, and a friend of mine suggested I find a writing partner, and of course my ego felt a little dented by that." "I think it took us maybe even a year to even establish, 'What is our creative dynamic?'" recalls Bizzy Coy, the humor writer of the pair. "And it's constantly changing." Lia is a cartoonist, graphic designer, and visual essayist whose work explores narrative illustration at the intersection of politics, culture, and personal history. She is also a kick-ass barista in Sullivan County, N.Y., where her latte foam art is much in demand. Bizzy is an advertising and marketing copywriter who has contributed humor writing to the New Yorker and McSweeney's.  Her short humor collection, Personal Space, is a compilation of her favorite pieces, which originally appeared in the above-mentioned publications, and in Splitsider, Points in Case, The Belladonna, and The Establishment. Join us as these two friends and collaborators talk toons, reflect on how they've come together as artists, and share their thoughts on what New Yorker readers find funny.

As this show predicted at the end of 2025, Jeffrey Epstein has become the Disorderer-in-Chief of 2026 – with Keir Starmer's credibility and ability to govern the latest victims of the document release. So how could there possibly be any Order emerging from this Disorder? It is only possible if McSweeney is ejected from Number 10. That is the only answer and the longer Starmer keeps him on, the weaker he will become relative to the Labour backbench. This week, Jason and Jane look at the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files on British high politics and why we need more transparent and more courageous leaders. Plus: the duo investigate the rise of women in leadership roles within the UN, examine upcoming US negotiations on both Russia/Ukraine and Iran/Nuclear, present Jason's observations about the depoliticisation of Trump's America, and answer questions from members of our Mega Orderers Club. Finally, as they Order the Disorder, they imagine a world with new institutions that could actually track what diplomats (current and former) do with state secrets and their privileged access to power.

Morgan McSweeney resigned yesterday as Keir Starmer's chief of staff and – while it was not a surprise, given his role in appointing Peter Mandelson – the news that the Prime Minister has now lost his closest aide and political fire blanket is a huge shock. The repercussions are numerous: Starmer loses the man widely regarded to have won him his large majority and someone who was popular in No. 10; he has recruited two new deputies to fulfil a role considered insurmountable for one person; and it sets a precedent that anyone who allowed Mandelson to become US ambassador is liable for the chop.For a Prime Minister without a political philosophy, McSweeney was the man with the plan – where does Labour go from here?

Morgan McSweeney and - we now discover - Peter Mandelson shaped the Starmer leadership in the run up to the election and beyond. Now they are both gone. Inevitably this will lead to change and the first meaningful ‘reset' in a government of resets. But will it be under Starmer or his successor?

Morgan McSweeney has resigned as Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff and said he takes "full responsibilty" for having advised the Prime Minister to appoint Lord Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US last year. In a statement, Mr McSweeney said the decision had been "wrong". Also: The BBC's seen evidence that suggests Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein when he was working as UK trade envoy. And: Hundreds of flood warnings and alerts are in place across Britain, following days of non-stop rain in some areas

STARMER SHOULD HE STAY OR GO? McSWEENEY RESIGNS! #Starmer #UKPolitics #PatMcFadden #MorganMcSweeney #Resignation #PeterMandelson #Epstein #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #JonGauntTV BREAKING: Morgan McSweeney has resigned. Another senior figure gone. Another fall guy exits the stage. And once again, the same question refuses to go away: how many people have to walk before the buck finally stops with the boss? Earlier today Pat McFadden was out defending the Prime Minister, urging calm and insisting this is all being overblown. But tonight, that defence looks weaker by the hour. Because Keir Starmer didn't just inherit these problems — he made the appointments, he trusted the judgement, and he signed off the decisions. Now one of his closest operators has gone. So let's be honest: If advisers fall on their sword… If senior figures resign… If reputations are sacrificed… Surely the buck stops with Starmer. Let's also restate the uncomfortable fact everyone keeps dancing around: Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender. That is not opinion. That is public record. So why were associations waved through? Why were warning signs ignored? And why are we still being told this is all about how difficult Donald Trump is to deal with? That excuse is wearing thin. And one final question the media still won't touch: should the three months' salary taken after being fired be paid back — or do the rules simply not apply at the top? This isn't gossip. It's about judgement. It's about standards. And it's about leadership. Tonight, you decide.

Morgan McSweeney has resigned as Keir Starmer's chief of staff. With Number 10 in survival mode, can the prime minister find a new strategy, and how long will potential leadership challengers wait?Hugo, Danny and Polly respond to the emergency podcast bell and react to the news.

The Ordinary Elite is a Scottish podcast brought to you from Glasgow by John McGovern and Mike Dailly. Both are Solicitor Advocates - John a criminal defence lawyer and Mike a civil litigation practitioner and social justice campaigner. In episode 3 of Season 5 we discuss Paul Holden's new book. The Fraud shows how Keir Starmer has been the frontman for a ruthless, right-wing political project headed by Morgan McSweeney, now chief of staff in Number 10 and arguably the most powerful man in Britain. McSweeney guided Starmer to the Labour leadership on a platform that Starmer, once in office, almost instantly betrayed. Having conquered the party on false pretences, McSweeney and his allies set about purging opponents, marginalising the membership, and dragging party policy to the right. This is a sordid tale that includes hacked emails, anonymous smears, dodgy dossiers, cynical stitch-ups, and staggering hypocrisy. Paul's book is available to buy here.

Amazon franchit un cap stratégique en Europe. Ce jeudi 15 janvier, Amazon Web Services lance officiellement son AWS European Sovereign Cloud, une infrastructure pensée pour répondre aux exigences les plus strictes en matière de souveraineté numérique. La première région ouvre en Allemagne, dans le Brandebourg, avec déjà des extensions prévues en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas et au Portugal via des « Local Zones ». L'investissement est à la hauteur de l'ambition : 7,8 milliards d'euros engagés outre-Rhin pour redessiner le paysage du cloud européen.La promesse est simple, presque radicale : ce cloud peut fonctionner en totale autonomie, même en cas de coupure complète avec le reste du réseau mondial d'AWS. Aucune dépendance technique ou opérationnelle hors de l'Union européenne. Les données, métadonnées, factures et comptes clients restent confinés sur le sol européen. L'exploitation est assurée par des équipes locales, sans lien fonctionnel avec les États-Unis, et une copie complète du code source est accessible aux responsables européens en cas d'urgence. Une concession rare de la part d'un hyperscaler américain, conçue pour répondre frontalement aux inquiétudes liées à l'extraterritorialité du droit américain. Cette offre vise clairement les secteurs les plus sensibles : administrations, défense, finance, santé, énergie ou télécoms. Pour ces acteurs, longtemps réticents à migrer vers le cloud public, AWS promet désormais « le meilleur des deux mondes » : la puissance industrielle d'un géant mondial, sans abandon du contrôle juridique et opérationnel. Reste que certains sceptiques continueront de douter de l'étanchéité réelle du dispositif face à une éventuelle pression judiciaire venue de Washington.Pour crédibiliser son discours, Amazon a mis en place une architecture juridique inédite. Une société mère allemande chapeaute trois filiales de droit local, toutes dirigées par des citoyens européens. À leur tête, l'Allemand Stefan Hoechbauer, épaulé par le Français Stéphane Israël, ancien patron d'Arianespace. Un conseil consultatif complète le dispositif, avec notamment le général Philippe Lavigne et l'Irlandaise Sinéad McSweeney. Dès son lancement, plus de 90 services sont disponibles, de l'IA au stockage en passant par la cybersécurité. Des acteurs comme EWE AG, l'université Lausitz Carl Thiem ou Sanoma Learning ont déjà signé. Les partenaires historiques d'AWS — Accenture, SAP, Capgemini, Deloitte ou Mistral AI — suivent le mouvement. Pour l'Allemagne, l'enjeu est économique autant que stratégique : 2 800 emplois créés chaque année et un impact estimé à 17,2 milliards d'euros sur le PIB. Un signal fort envoyé à toute l'Europe.

Writer, humorist, previvor, survivor, and breast cancer prevention advocate Gila Pfeffer joins Leah for a thoughtful, funny, and deeply honest conversation about loss, resilience, and finding humor in the most unlikely situations.Gila talks about her memoir, Nearly Departed: Adventures in Loss, Cancer, and Other Inconveniences, how humor can be a survival tool during cancer treatment, and her cheeky Feel It on the First campaign that raises awareness of breast cancer screenings and risk reduction.

Diverse Voices Book Review guest host Amran Gowani interviewed Dennard Dayle, author of the Civil War satire HOW TO DODGE A CANNONBALL. The story follows Anders, a White teenage flag twirler whose madcap journey finds him fighting for both armies, claiming to be an octoroon, escaping certain death far too many times, and examining the unresolved hypocrisies at the heart of America's foundation. During the interview, Dayle discussed why he chose to satirize the Civil War, the historical parallels between the 1860s and present-day America, and his love for CATCH-22, a novel which has heavily influenced his creative work. Dennard Dayle is a Jamaican American novelist, satirist, and prankster who lives in Brooklyn, New York. His short fiction has appeared in the New Yorker, Clarkesworld, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency, and his short story collection EVERYTHING ABRIDGED was published in 2022. Dennard is a graduate of Princeton University and received his MFA at Columbia University, where he teaches as an adjunct professor.Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewEmail: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.com

This morning Kemi Badenoch has staged a presser setting out the terms for a new (alternative) national grooming gangs inquiry – a move that has reopened wounds for many survivors and intensified criticism of Labour's handling of the existing process. What will this mean for the government, for survivors, and for the political fight ahead?Meanwhile in Scotland, the defection of former Scotland Office minister Lord Offord to Reform UK has sent shockwaves through the Scottish Conservatives – and raised fresh questions about the balance of power ahead of the Holyrood elections. Could Reform genuinely challenge Labour for second place? And how worried should Scottish Labour be as scandals continue to mount?Plus, Labour Together – the McSweeney-linked think tank which basically put Keir in power – has turned on the PM and is reportedly canvassing members on who they'd prefer as an alternative to Keir Starmer. Is he now in more danger than Kemi?James Heale is joined by Lucy Dunn and Tim Shipman to discuss a tumultuous week in Westminster and beyond.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElory.

This month on the Deerfield Public Library Podcast, we are very happy to welcome writer and artist Annah Feinberg to talk about her hilarious and moving debut full-length graphic novel, Goodbye, Dolly! Narrated from beyond the grave by Dolly, the famous cloned sheep born in 1996, Goodbye, Dolly! tells the story of her six disaffected children (or as Annah calls them, "nepo lambs") as they search the Scottish countryside for their identity after their mother's death.  Annah Feinberg has written many comics and humor pieces for publications like The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Bon Appétit, and Awry, which often skewer the indignities of life ("The Utter Humiliation of Being a Body") and a Millennial combination of high self-regard and economic precarity ("Millennials Are the First Generation in History to Inspire Think Pieces About Millennials"). We discuss how these themes also shine through the very anxious sheep of Goodbye, Dolly! You'll also hear how Feinberg's unique art style, which features stock image backgrounds, brilliantly inhabits the exhausted detritus of our culture. Feinberg also grew up here in Deerfield, and we are thrilled we get to celebrate her work as her hometown library! Listen for a fun—and funny—conversation about existential crises through the perhaps unlikely characters of cartoon sheep.  Annah Feinberg writes and draws, often at the very same time. Her previous comics and humor writing have been featured in The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Bon Appétit, Awry, Mutha Magazine, The Hairpin, the collection Notes from the Bathroom Line, and in her zines The Shapelies, Food Source, and Me Myselves And.  Annah has developed adult animated shows for Showtime and AMC, wrote and produced short films Fetus Monster and The Workplace, and is currently developing another adult animated show, writing two live-action features and working on another graphic novel. Formerly a playwright, dramaturg, and Hollywood assistant, Annah has an MFA in Dramaturgy from Columbia University and was a founding member of theater activist group The Kilroys. Before that, she was a child who wrote and drew, often at the very same time.  You can check out Goodbye, Dolly! and other titles by Annah Feinberg here in our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show. Find out more about Annah at her website or on her Instagram @annahfeinberg. We hope you enjoy our 69th interview episode! ​​Each month (or so), we release an episode featuring a conversation with an author, artist, or other notable guests from Chicagoland or around the world.
