In the magazine this week, James Heale writes that Kemi Badenoch was in an upbeat mood when she addressed her troops last week. ‘This time last year,' she told the 1922 Committee, ‘people said Jenrick was taking over the party, Starmer was steady and Farage would be the next prime minister. A year later, Rob is under police investigation, Starmer has resigned and Farage is not even an MP.'It is a reminder of how quickly the wheel of politics can turn. So what is Badenoch's grand plan for taking on Burnham?Also today, No. 10 North is officially open for business – but has anyone really thought it through?Noa Hoffman speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.

Nigel Farage launched a “people versus establishment” by-election in Clacton – but which side is he REALLY on? The Reform leader claims to speak for ordinary people but the privately-educated former banker has pocketed over £2 million in outside earnings since becoming an MP, accepted a £5m gift from a crypto mega-donor and has taken more cash from “Posh” George Cottrell – a convicted fraudster. If that's not the establishment, what is? Political scientist and lecturer at the University of Oxford Dr Vladimir Bortun joins Zoë Grünewald to decipher which side Farage is on. • Back us on PatreonWritten and presented by Zoë Grünewald.

Speaking during his inauguration speech on Monday, new UK prime minister – the seventh in the last 10 years, if you're keeping score – Andy Burnham spoke of his mission to "bring back hope" and to make Britain "believe again". Good luck to him. Burnham knows the job ahead is unlikely to be an easy one, but he's put the work in to get here, from emerging as a fresh-faced MP at the turn of the century to failed attempts to take over the Labour leadership in 2010 and 2015, to finally ascending to the lofty halls of No 10 Downing Street. But is Burnham inheriting a poisoned chalice, given the increasingly fractured nature of present-day British politics? How did he go from "King of the North" in Manchester to the top job in London? And can he handle Donald Trump any better than Keir Starmer did? On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Daniel Boffey, Chief Reporter with The Guardian, to discuss the new UK PM's rise to power and why he's likely to call a general election sooner rather than later.

A partir de 13 de julho, uma nova greve dos caminhoneiros teve início, mobilizada por vários motoristas em todo o cenário nacional. A paralisação foi confirmada pelo presidente da Associação Brasileira dos Condutores de Veículos Automotores (Abrava), Wallace Landim. O principal alvo dos protestos é o Senado Federal, com críticas diretas sendo direcionadas ao presidente da Casa, Davi Alcolumbre (União). A insatisfação da categoria decorre da demora na votação da Medida Provisória 1.343, conhecida popularmente como "MP do Frete". Diante deste cenário de urgência, o fantasma da paralisação de 2018 volta a assombrar o país. Há alguns anos, uma greve de 11 dias gerou um efeito cascata que culminou em desabastecimento generalizado, com falta de combustível nos aeroportos, frotas de ônibus reduzidas, prateleiras vazias nos supermercados e um prejuízo que ultrapassou a marca de 15 bilhões de reais para a economia brasileira. Assista ao vídeo completo para compreender as consequências logísticas da paralisação atual, os entraves políticos e o real risco de faltar insumos básicos no Brasil.

No episódio desta semana, analisamos os principais acontecimentos que podem impactar a economia, o agronegócio e os mercados nos próximos meses.

The New Labour old boy was at one time a front runner to lead his Party. But after a scandalous resignation from Gordon Brown's Cabinet, it seemed his political career was over…until now. James Purnell grew up between France and Guildford. Spending his teenage years at the fee-paying Royal Grammar School, he was known for his distinctive Parisian style and ‘Rupert the Bear' trousers. A fan of the theatre, golf, and student politics, he began establishing a network that would prove fruitful for a high-flying career. This continued at Oxford - where he studied Politics, Philosophy, and Economics - and spent summers interning with up-and-coming Labour politician, Tony Blair. His career took off early - serving as a councillor in Islingon, Head of Corporate Planning at the BBC, and then Special Advisor to the prime minister all in his 20s. In 2001, he was elected MP for the northern seat of Stalybridge and Hyde, and soon climbed the ranks of government, serving as a minister in Gordon Brown's government. Purnell weathered storms and scrutiny, before generating a scandal of his own: a failed coup against the prime minister, resigning from the cabinet in 2009. Now, after decades out of Westminster - with top jobs at the BBC, University of the Arts London, and a corporate advisory and lobbying firm under his belt - he's back. Andy Burnham, James Purnell's former flatmate and football buddy, will become prime minister on Monday. And he's invited his old friend back as his Chief of Staff. What will the so-called ‘Ant and Dec of New Labour' do when they take the reigns of government next week?Production: Presenter: Becky Milligan Producers: Tom Gillett, Ellie House Production Coordinator: Maria Ogundele, Siobhan Reed Sound: Neil Churchill Editor: Justine LangArchive: FA TV

O pré-candidato à Presidência da República Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) se posicionou sobre a decisão dos Estados Unidos de impor o novo tarifaço ao Brasil. Caiado afirmou que a declaração de Marco Rúbio para justificar o tarifaço foi “infeliz” e que ele age como cabo eleitoral de Lula. O Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (Bndes) pediu ao ministério da Fazenda a liberação de R$ 7,25 bilhões para reforçar os recursos do programa Brasil Soberano que tem como objetivo prestar socorro às empresas impactadas pelo tarifaço. Reportagem: André Anelli.

Andy Burnham is hurtling towards Number 10 on Monday, and there are serious concerns that the country doesn't know what it is getting itself into with him steering the ship. Cabinet predictions are coming in thick and fast, with concerns that Ed Miliband will become the chancellor as the worst-case scenario, and the foreign secretary in the best case. There are also talks of Shabana Mahmood taking on the purse strings, despite critics saying she doesn't have the CV for it. Jeremy also talks Royals and the tragedy that was the World Cup England v Argentina game. The guest lineup for today includes: Formal special advisor to the Conservatives, Charlie Rowley, independent MP for Hull East, Karl Turner, Talk's International editor, Isabel Oakeshott, political commentator, Benedict Spence, TalkSPORT reporter, Max Scott, and royal biographer, Angela Levin.

In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Jeremy Harte — folklorist, winner of the Catherine Briggs Folklore Award, curator of Bourne Hall Museum in Surrey, and author of Cloven Country: The Devil in the English Landscape and Travelers Through Time: A Gypsy History — to discuss his remarkable new book Treasures on Earth: Buried Wealth in the English Landscape, published by Reaktion Books. Jeremy has spent his career chasing the uncanny side of the English landscape, and in this book he has gathered hundreds of treasure legends together for the first time — organizing them not by region or date but by emotion: memory, ruin, strife, terror, failure, and longing. The result is one of the most original and quietly brilliant books on English folklore in years, and the conversation it generates is irresistible: Why did people surround buried gold with dragons, black hens, and demons? What does the moment a laborer on the River Ribble accidentally uncovered a Viking army's war chest have in common with Oak Island? Why is the folklore always cruelest at the very last minute? What is the real fantasy underneath the search for treasure — not gold, but escape, freedom, and the dream of never having to work again? And what does the figure of Mackenzie Crook's Detectorists, swinging their machines over Essex fields and dreaming of Saxon gold, tell us about the ancient human urge that these legends have always mapped? Links Treasures on Earth by Jeremy Harte (Reaktion Books) Cloven Country: The Devil in the English Landscape by Jeremy Harte Travelers Through Time: A Gypsy History by Jeremy Harte Bourne Hall Museum, Ewell, Surrey The Cuerdale Hoard The Rillaton Cup Detectorists — Mackenzie Crook (BBC/AcornTV) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways Treasure legends are not really about gold. They are, as Jeremy Harte argues throughout, about the emotions that surround gold — longing, memory, failure, terror, and the fantasy of transformation. The stories survived because of what they did to the people who told and heard them, not because of any actual buried wealth. The Cuerdale Hoard — the largest Viking silver hoard ever found in Britain, unearthed by laborers straightening the River Ribble in the 1840s — is one of the most powerful examples of how real treasure finds retrospectively generate legends. Almost all treasure "traditions" that seem to predict a find are only recorded after the find is made. The classic Anglo-Saxon image of the dragon sitting on a barrow of gold — doing nothing but guarding it forever, sacrificing whatever life a dragon might have — is, Jeremy argues, an early cultural articulation of what happens when treasure takes over a human life. The same psychology drives Oak Island today. Treasure guardians shift with the centuries — dragons and giants give way to fairies, then to demons, then to ghosts — not randomly but in response to what each era finds believable. A legend must sit in the zone between "obviously true" and "obviously made up" to function: too real and it's history, too fantastic and it's a fairy tale. The dissolution of the monasteries did not immediately generate treasure legends. It took fifty to a hundred years for the trauma to work its way into folklore — appearing in ghost monks, ruined abbey atmosphere, and stories of gold thrown into ponds or bricked up in tunnels. Society, like individuals, needs time to process collective shock before it becomes story. Mary Parrish, a "brandy-loving London cunning woman," and Goodwin Wharton, the gullible aristocrat she led on a years-long quest for fairy gold — documented entirely from Wharton's own obsessive diary — are perhaps the most human pair in the book. Wharton was simultaneously a reasonably successful MP, raised money from syndicates, and organized diving bells off the Scottish coast for Armada treasure. Jeremy describes their relationship as "a con, but also a love story." The folk cruelty of treasure legends — the fortune always snatched away by one tiny mistake, a single word spoken, one black hair on a white ox — is not random. These stories circulated among communities who had not done well for themselves. The unkindness of fate felt true to their experience. The treasure was always just out of reach because that was always true. The real fantasy of treasure, Jeremy argues, is not wealth but escape — to become a gentleman, meaning someone visibly unencumbered by the need to work. The problem for many of the poor communities generating these legends was that even if they found a single coin, they could not spend it without someone asking where it came from. Less than 10% of records are digital — a parallel to archaeology, where the vast majority of objects are still in the ground. Metal detectorists and archaeologists have more in common than either entirely admits: both are animated by the same desire to find something and to validate themselves through the finding. The difference is in what they're willing to record and share. The book closes with the gardener at Wallingford who dug for buried treasure in his spare time until one day they found a fresh hole, his spade and gloves beside it, and the man himself was never seen again. Jeremy chose this image deliberately: "It was almost like, if I'd been giving a talk, it would have been time for me to wave bye-bye and disappear behind a curtain." Soundbites "Treasure is so potent it doesn't have to exist to destabilize human life. Most of the hordes in the book will never be found because they were never there." — Jeremy on the central argument of the book. "You find an Iron Age gold coin and it was — if it had been anything else, it would have been archaeology. It was the gold that made that different emotive feeling. And I thought I ought to be exploring that a bit." — Jeremy on the moment in the dried-out lake that started it all. "Think about the Anglo-Saxon dragon. He does nothing but guard gold, and sacrifices whatever a dragon life would be to just sit there forever in the darkness on the treasure. I thought, yeah, there is a common theme here." — Jeremy on why Oak Island and the dragon barrow are the same story. "It has to be the kind of thing you can announce in the pub and there will be a lively discussion with people banging down their pints and going, well bits of it could be true. It has to sit in that zone — too real and it's just history, too fantastic and it's a fairy tale." — Jeremy on what makes a legend work. "Mary Parrish — we have an entirely one-sided record. Goodwin Wharton was the literary half of the partnership. He even organized diving bells to try to dig up the treasure of the Armada off the coast of Scotland. And at the same time he is a fairly successful MP making his way up in government. Leading me to wonder what secrets might possibly lie in the diaries of some of our present members." — Jeremy on the Mary Parrish and Goodwin Wharton story. "People telling stories about lost treasure — the poorer the community, the more likely they are to be doing it. There's a sense of the unkindness of fate. People who had mastered fate and done quite well for themselves were sitting in the other corner and not contacting the gentleman with the story." — Jeremy on why treasure legends cluster around poverty. "The dissolution of the monasteries is recorded historically, basically day by day. What happened to the stuff is pretty well recorded. But it's not until well into the seventeenth century that you get the tropes of the monastic ghost, the buried treasures, the ghost monks. It took fifty to a hundred years for the trauma to work its way into folklore." — Jeremy on how collective trauma becomes legend. "The fantasy is to become a gentleman. Gentlemen are conspicuously visible in the countryside as people who wander around having no apparent need to work at anything whatsoever. Which of course is why they can go around collecting folk tales." — Jeremy on the real dream underneath treasure hunting. "When I actually go on site, my skepticism rolls away after about five miles walking. And I'm like, ooh, let's just have a quick look underneath here. There's a patch of dirt here. Let's just check. And I thought it'd be terribly embarrassing if I did actually find a hoard of gold. It's like — yeah, publicity exercise." — Jeremy's most English answer to whether he believes any treasure is really out there. "He'd disappeared and it was almost like, if I'd been giving a talk, it would have been time for me to wave bye-bye and disappear behind a curtain and go out the back." — Jeremy on why he ended the book with the vanishing gardener of Wallingford.

Nigel Farage is under fire over his £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire – but does British politics have a wider money problem? MPs earn a salary of just shy of £100,000 but for many that's just a sliver of the total pay packet. Side hustles, political gifts and personal donations can add millions more a year. So how does it all work – and where's the line?

The murder of firebrand politician Ann Widdecombe has sent shockwaves through the British establishment, prompting fresh debate around the safety of public figures. An unapologetic straight-talking stateswoman, Widdecombe served as an MP for 23 years, and was famed for controversial outspoken views on abortion, gay rights and women's issues. Despite her divisive nature, Widdecombe managed to win fans away from the political arena thanks to a memorable run on Strictly Come Dancing and other unlikely forays into reality TV. Now, as the investigation into her murder evolves into a terrorism probe, serious questions are being asked of the authorities in Britain, not least by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who called attention to the need for more money to be spent on security for public figures just days before Widdecombe's death. On Tuesday evening, counter-terrorism police in the UK stated that the murder of Ann Widdecombe is officially recognised as a “targeted attack” while noting that it has “not been declared as a terrorist incident”. Fionnán Sheahan is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady to discuss the latest on the investigation, and to look at the sometimes contradictory life of Ann Widdecombe and an increasingly threatening climate for politicians.

Confira no Morning Show desta terça-feira (14): O ministro do Supremo Alexandre de Moraes emitiu uma decisão suspendendo por 90 dias as visitas do senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) e seu pai, o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. A medida foi tomada após a divulgação de uma carta de Jair por Flávio, manifestando-se politicamente em favor do filho mais velho. Jair estava proíbido de utilizar redes sociais, inclusive através de terceiros. Agora, Flávio só poderá se reunir novamente com o pai após o primeiro turno. A senadora Damares Alves (PL) defendeu a ex-primeira dama Michelle Bolsonaro (PL) durante discurso no Senado Federal e tentou apaziguar a situação entre os membros da família Bolsonaro. Em sua fala, a senadora questionou: “quem está por trás dessa campanha difamatória contra os soldados da direita”. Edinho Silva (PT), presidente nacional do PT, orientou os militantes do partido a pressionarem o Senado Federal para aprovar o projeto que prevê o fim da escala 6x1 antes do recesso parlamentar de meio de ano. Após o recesso, as chances de votação de projetos importantes caem, pois grande parte dos parlamentares volta para suas bases eleitorais para focar nas eleições de outubro. A classe dos caminhoneiros está pressionando o presidente do Senado Federal, Davi Alcolumbre, para que a Medida Provisória “MP do Frete” seja pautada. O texto determina que parte do valor do frete seja pago antes da entrega e outros benefícios para quem trabalha na área, além da suspensão de multas para quem participou das paralisações de estradas após a derrota de Jair Bolsonaro (PL) em 2022. A Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro está investigando a realização de um baile funk com presença de dezenas de homens armados com fuzis em Vigário Geral. A festa, que contou com apresentações do MC Chefin e do grupo Tá na Mente, seria em comemoração aos 19 anos de domínio da facção Terceiro Comando Puro na comunidade, parte do Complexo de Israel. Um homem foi flagrado roubando uma caixa de ofertas de uma igreja em Carmo do Rio Claro, sul de Minas Gerais. O suspeito, que fingia estar ajoelhado rezando ao furtar a urna, está foragido e a paróquia não conseguiu estipular quanto dinheiro o homem teria levado. Dados da Secretaria de Segurança Pública de SP revelam que casos de violência contra a mulher aumentaram na Grande São Paulo na primeira metade do ano. Em comparação com o mesmo período em 2025, as ocorrências de lesão corporal subiram de 12.298 para 13.685 (alta de 11%). Já as anotações por ameaça foram de 15.886 para 18.471 (alta de 16%) e episódios de violência psicológica saltaram de 574 para 684 (alta de 19%). A psicóloga Lara D`Almeida lança o livro “Tudo Que Você Precisa Saber Sobre TDAH” e explica como o transtorno se manifesta na vida adulta. É importante separar sintomas e comportamentos típicos do TDAH que já apareciam desde a infância dos que surgem apenas na maturidade e evitar auto diagnósticos. Uma jornalista de um programa de fofoca espanhol disse se sentir humilhada após um companheiro de bancada fazer um sinal com a mão pedindo para ela esperar para falar. A apresentadora desabafou ao vivo e abandonou o programa. A psicologa Lara D'Almeida analisa o caso. O ministro do Supremo Flávio Dino emitiu uma decisão ordenando que diversos órgãos apresentem explicações sobre a destinação de emendas parlamentares voltadas para a saúde por agentes políticos que não possuem mandato, como o ex-presidente da Câmara Eduardo Cunha (PRD) e Valdemar Costa Neto (PL). Dino classificou como “totalmente anômalo” que ex-parlamentares tenham gerência sobre esses valores. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Paul Henry's promising his desire to instigate change is genuine, and he won't be wasting any time if he makes it into Parliament. The former broadcaster's running as a list MP for the ACT party this election and has expressed his desire to become a minister. Henry told Mike Hosking he knows the work is hard, and not always fun. The 65-year-old says maybe he should have thought more about it, but he has considered the commitment overall. Paul Henry says he'd like to give at least six years to his political career.

In this episode of the PRmoment Podcast's weekly news review, Ben Smith is joined by Angie Moxon and Mark Borkowski for a wide‑ranging discussion spanning British politics, football, FIFA's reputation, and Wimbledon.The conversation opens with what Angie has dubbed “the politics of farce”, focusing on Nigel Farage, the Reform party, Count Binface, and the Clacton by‑election. Angie predicts Count Binface could “trash” Farage and laments that, despite the historic struggle to win the vote, British politics has descended into something comical and depressing. Public disillusionment, she argues, is understandable given the corruption and behaviour of politicians.Mark acknowledges Farage's skill as a communicator and campaigner, noting how effectively he has handled tough questions about a £5 million donation from Christopher Harborne. However, he suggests that Farage has “crossed the line” regarding rules on political funding and now faces appropriate scrutiny, potentially including police investigation. Mark argues that Farage's strengths as a campaigner do not necessarily translate into being a capable constituency MP, and suggests many Reform supporters may worry about his actual ability to represent them.The trio then discuss the strategic move by other major parties to unite against Farage by refusing to play his “let the people decide” by‑election game. Mark sees this as a rare moment of unity against political outliers that, if repeated more often, might strengthen parliamentary democracy. Angie reflects on the demographic profile of Clacton – likely older voters – and suggests this still favours Farage, though national mood and protest votes could yet shape the result. Ben points out that Reform typically struggle to exceed 30–35% of the vote, making them vulnerable if they face a single unity candidate.The discussion shifts to sport, starting with the World Cup and Kylian Mbappé's handling of a racist remarks from a Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla. Mark praises the transformation in elite footballer behaviour, contrasting today's professionalism with the troubles of past stars such as Gazza and Wayne Rooney. Top players like Mbappé, Ronaldo, Bellingham, and Kane are portrayed as heavily media‑trained, acutely aware of their social‑media power, and highly responsible communicators who understand their status as global icons. Angie adds a personal perspective, recalling the open racism she heard on football terraces as a child and highlighting how far, despite serious remaining problems, things have improved.From there, the panel turns to FIFA's communications and governance. Mark brands FIFA's PR an “absolute disaster” and is scathing about Gianni Infantino's ego and political manoeuvring, including the rescinding of a controversial red card and the theatrical awarding of a “peace prize” to Donald Trump. Angie broadens the critique to the systemic corruption and “jobs for the boys” culture she sees in male‑dominated sports administration and corporate leadership, arguing this erodes credibility and is terrible public relations.Finally, the conversation moves to Wimbledon. Ben notes that, in a World Cup year with a depleted British tennis contingent, organisers must have been worried about interest – until Arthur Ferry's unexpected run to the semi‑finals. Angie welcomes him as a much‑needed “Great British hope” whose success can lift viewing figures. Ben closes by observing that the power of sport to capture attention and provide a temporary escape from a troubled world is as strong as ever.“We're now in a season of political farce – and that's a tragedy for a country where people fought so hard to win the vote.” Angie Moxon [00:00:49]–[00:01:20]“Farage is a remarkable communicator – but he's never been a man who embraces rules, and this time he's crossed the line.” Mark Borkowski [00:01:29]–[00:02:15]“If you woke up from a 40‑year sleep and saw the last two weeks' headlines, you'd ask: what on earth has happened to this country?” Mark Borkowski00:02:56]–[00:03:18]“Count Binface's best strategy might be to stay quiet – and let Farage's circus speak for itself.” Angie Moxon  [00:05:04]–[00:05:35]“Today's superstars – Mbappé, Bellingham, Kane, Ronaldo – are not just great players; they're some of the sharpest communicators in global sport.” Mark Borkowski[00:06:17]–[00:08:06]“I grew up hearing vile racism on the terraces as a little girl – so when modern players call it out, it really matters.” Angie Moxon[00:08:25]–[00:09:10]“FIFA's PR has been an absolute disaster; Infantino's ego is centre‑stage while the credibility of the organisation collapses.” Mark Borkowski[00:09:10]–[00:10:18]“This is a classic ‘jobs for the boys' structure – male, closed, and corrupt – and it's terrible PR for football.” Angie Moxon[00:10:51]–[00:11:22]“Despite all the scandals, the World Cup still pulls in more than half the planet – that's the scale of spectacle we're talking about.” Mark Borkowski [00:11:43]–[00:12:37]“Arthur Ferry turning up in a Wimbledon semi‑final is exactly the kind of underdog story broadcasters dream of in a World Cup year.” Ben Smith (with context from Angie)[00:12:46]–[00:13:17]

ANN WIDDECOMBE MURDERED: HAS THE LEFT LOST ITS HUMANITY?  #AnnWiddecombe #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #UKPolitics #PoliticalViolence #FreedomOfSpeech #NigelFarage Britain is in shock. Ann Widdecombe has been murdered. A suspect has been arrested, and the police are investigating. They have urged everyone not to speculate about the motive—and neither will I. But another question must be asked. Why, within hours of Ann's death, were some on the Left unable to show even the most basic human decency? Peter Tatchell described Ann Widdecombe as a "bigot" before later deleting his post and apologising. Adam Boulton also apologised after describing the murdered Ann as "a spinster" and "an old maid". Imagine if those comments had been made about a murdered Labour politician. Would the reaction have been the same? This isn't about claiming those remarks had anything to do with the crime. There is no evidence of that. It is about asking whether our political culture has become so tribal that opponents are no longer treated as fellow human beings. This is also the third serving or former MP to be murdered in roughly the last decade. Jo Cox. Sir David Amess. Now Ann Widdecombe. Nigel Farage has recently warned about the security of politicians and the threats they face. Is Britain becoming a more dangerous place for anyone prepared to stand up in public life? Today I'll examine the facts, challenge the double standards, and ask whether Britain has crossed a dangerous line where political hatred is replacing political debate. Join me and have your say in the comments.

Climate Change, sadly, has become increasingly polarised in the UK over the last couple of years. And MPs consistently underestimate public support for climate action – they read the same skewed media that we do, and the minority who oppose more ambitious, or indeed any, action, often have the loudest voices. If you've ever wondered whether it's really worth getting in touch with your MP, or how best to engage with them, this episode is a must listen. Rebecca Willis is a Professor in Energy & Climate Governance at the University of Manchester, where she leads the Climate Citizens  research group, looking into the role of public engagement in energy and climate governance. She is an expert advisor to the Climate Change Committee – the independent body that advises the government on tackling and preparing for climate change. And in 2019-2020, she was an Expert Lead to Climate Assembly UK, the first national Citizens' Assembly on Climate Change, which is something we dive into in the podcast.  Becky is also the author of Too Hot to Handle – the democratic challenge of climate change.USEFUL LINKS:Rebecca Willis- Website- Linked In- Climate citizens research groupNational Emergency BriefingParents for the FutureClimate Assembly UKClimate BarometerHope for the FutureClimate Conversations – Larger UsRound Our WayMothers Climate Action NetworkWI Climate Ambassadors Scheme Previous episodes:Everyday influencers with Sam HamptonThe National Emergency Briefing with Nick OldridgeAccelerating climate action through sport - with Katie CrossIf you enjoyed this episode, please do leave a rating and/or a review wherever you get your podcasts

Today, Andy Burnham's Labour leadership bid has been backed by 322 Labour MPs.If no one else enters the contest, as expected, Burnham will be declared Labour leader next week before taking office as prime minister on 20 July. Burnham is currently just one short of securing 323 nominations, which is when it is mathematically impossible for a rival to reach the 81-MP threshold needed to run against him. Adam and Chris discuss.An interim review of Personal Independence Payments (Pip) in England and Wales had found it to be "not fit for purpose". Last year, the UK government asked Sir Stephen Timms to review whether Pip was "fair and fit for the future".

Nominations openned today for the next Labour leader and – spoiler alert – it looks as though Andy Burnham might clinch it. We strongly suspect he will be the only person to put his name forward, after Al Carns pulled out and rowed in behind the MP for Makerfield.In the background, Burnham's preparations for government are continuing, including a surprise intervention on foreign affairs and an email to the PLP setting out how he hopes to restore hope and a sense of togetherness to the Labour party. One key part of that plan is to soften the whips' office into something resembling an HR department, under which MPs would be free to vote against the government if they wished.

After resigning as MP for Clacton to trigger a by-election, Farage has tried to turn questions over his finances into a referendum on the establishment. Tim explains why the move may already have backfired, with the main parties refusing to stand against him and leaving him to spend the summer ‘arguing with a bin'. But he also argues that Farage is returning to what he does best: insurgency, grievance and campaigning against the political class. Has he reclaimed the narrative – or retreated from the idea of becoming prime minister?Also: can Andy Burnham export the Manchester model to the rest of Britain?

Today Nigel Farage resigns as an MP, triggering a by-election in Clacton which he says he plans to stand in. He is currently facing an ongoing parliamentary standards investigation into whether he should have declared a £5 million gift he received from the cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne.Making the announcement in a statement streamed online, Farage said that he had done “nothing wrong” and that he needed the money to pay for security. He accused Sky News of harassing his family and said that standards regulations had been weaponised by the “establishment.” Calling the by-election “people versus the establishment”, Mr Farage said “the people of Clacton should be the judges of my actions.”Adam, Alex and Chris unpack what the move might mean.

Former MP Theo Clarke joins Giovanna this week to share the story of how the birth of her daughter led her to become a campaigner for better maternity care.Theo talks about navigating pregnancy while working in politics, including the challenges of having no statutory maternity leave as an MP and the pressure of being on duty during a period of major political upheaval.She also opens up about her traumatic birth experience and the lack of adequate postnatal support she received afterwards, experiences that led her to launch the first UK parliamentary debate on birth trauma. Since then, she has continued campaigning alongside Louise Thompson for the introduction of an independent maternity commissioner.UPDATE: Since recording this episode, the government has announced the appointment of the UK's first-ever Maternity and Neonatal Commissioner, as part of efforts to improve maternity and neonatal care across England.

Nigel Farage has announced his resignation as the MP for Clacton, triggering a byelection in which he intends to stand as a candidate. The Reform UK leader is under scrutiny over his finances, with two investigations by the parliamentary standards watchdog over undeclared gifts. During a 15-minute press conference, he accused the media of a ‘pile-on' over his personal finances, and harassment of his family. He said his decision was part of ‘sticking two fingers up at the establishment' and would prove the public want him to stay on as an MP.

Nigel Farage has resigned as an MP to force a by-election in Clacton, where he intends to stand again.It comes as scrutiny mounts over Reform UK's funding, the £5 million gift Farage received from the businessman Christopher Harborne and his association with the convicted criminal George Cottrell. So rather than wait for a ruling from the parliamentary standards commissioner, Farage will be out on the doorsteps in Clacton, fighting what he is branding a ‘people vs the establishment' referendum. It is a risky strategy, but one that plays to Farage's strengths as a campaigner. Will Labour and the Tories call his bluff and leave him with egg on his face? Or should we prepare for the by-election of the ages?Noa Hoffman discusses the story with James Heale and William Atkinson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Two boys, who had initially avoided custody, were re-sentenced to four years' detention.     Whilst the decision marked an important step towards accountability, Jazmine's parents explain in detail why it is still not enough and what needs to change– including a personal plea to Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr.     Laura shares her analysis of the 52-page Judgement from the Court of Appeal and Judge Rowland's Sentencing Remarks in the context of the Sentencing Guidelines and increasing male violence to girls and women.    In this episode, Laura, and Jazmine's parents discuss:  The severe psychological impact and harm to Jazmine; How evidence of the victim's trauma was overlooked by Judge Rowland in favour of his impression;  How expert opinion about a sharp implement being used to cut victim C2's clothing was overlooked in favour of Judge Rowland's impression;  Judge Rowland's treatment of the boys vs the girls;  The over focus on the boys so-called vulnerabilities whilst ignoring the girls;  The sentencing guidelines – what needs to change;  Lack of training and accountability for Judges and why this must change;  The foundation established by Jazmine and her family to support victims and create lasting change.  The courage shown by Jazmine and her family in speaking publicly helps shine a light on the realities of sexual violence and the urgent need for judicial accountability and reform.  More from Jazmine's Family:  Stronger Than Silence Foundation  Support the Foundation    If you have not already listened, Laura previously analysed the broader Hampshire serial gang rape case, the offenders' histories, the warning signs, escalating behaviours, and the systemic failures that allowed dangerous patterns to go unchecked. Listen here:  https://www.crime-analyst.com/convicted-serial-rapists-walk-free-with-ps26-fine/  https://www.crime-analyst.com/ep-347-analysing-judge-rowlands-sentencing-remarks-in-the-hampshire-gang-rape-case-part-2/    Laura also discusses the petition calling for Judge Nicholas Rowland to be investigated and for the introduction of an independent Judicial Accountability Framework.    ACT NOW:  Sign the petition  Write to your MP  Write to Justice Secretary David Lammy  Write to Prime Minister Keir Starmer  Write to Attorney General Richard Hermer    Letter Templates Enough is enough.
