David Lammy faces more questions about Iran

MPs press David Lammy over Iran

MPs have voted – by a narrow 23-vote margin – in favour of legalising assisted dying. Bizarrely, the 51.9 to 48.1 per cent breakdown is the exact same as the 2016 referendum result, although hopefully this issue doesn't divide the Labour party in the same way that Brexit did for the Tories.The whole process is far from ‘Parliament at its best', as it has often been claimed. Despite hours of passionate and emotional debate, key concerns about the drafting of the bill forced some who would naturally back assisted dying to oppose it. The overwhelming feeling is that a private member's bill was not the right forum for this kind of legislation.So what comes next? The bill will now pass to the House of Lords, after which comes the business of putting the measures into practice. This raises a multitude of problems for the Labour government, as it must now decide, for example, whether the responsibility will fall on the NHS or private doctors; who will pay for it; and what legal protections will be given to doctors and nurses. Other key questions remain: did Keir Starmer break a voting pact with David Lammy? And how could the decision to go against the party impact ambitious members of the shadow cabinet?Lucy Dunn, James Hale and Rajiv Shah, former adviser in No. 10, discuss.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Donald Trump's given Iran a "two-week" reprieve for negotiations and David Lammy has gone to Geneva for talks with the Iranian foreign minister. But can their diplomacy work?Ed Vaizey is joined by columnists Michael Binyon and Jane Merrick to unpack the politics of the day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Une nomination historique au Royaume-Uni. Blaise Metreweli devient la première femme à prendre la tête des services de renseignements extérieurs, le MI6. Après une longue carrière dans les services secrets, à des postes opérationnels ou à la direction, elle sort de l'anonymat et succèdera cet automne à Richard Moore, chef des renseignements depuis 2020. Regard bleu, cheveux blonds, boucles d'oreille en argent. Le portrait officiel publié par le gouvernement britannique est l'une des seules images qui circule de Blaise Metreweli. Elle est la future cheffe des services de renseignements du Royaume-Uni, que l'on connaît aussi sous le nom de code « C », l'équivalent du personnage de « M », interprété par l'actrice Judi Dench dans la saga James Bond. Blaise Metreweli est issue d'une famille originaire de l'Europe de l'Est, son patronyme est d'ailleurs le dérivé du nom géorgien Metreveli. Elle deviendra à l'automne la première femme à diriger le MI6 depuis sa création, en 1909.  Le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer a salué une nomination historique. « L'idée que le travail dans les renseignements est effectué par des sosies de Daniel Craig qui conduisent des voitures rapides et tirent sur des gens est fausse, mais elle a un impact réel sur les femmes qui voudraient faire carrière dans le renseignement, explique Dan Lomas, chercheur en relations internationales à l'université de Nottingham. Metreweli, fonctionnaire relativement jeune, très performante, je pense qu'il s'agit d'un signal fort. C'est la nomination d'une personne qui a été choisie sur la base de son CV. Mais cela dit aussi qu'il s'agit d'une personne qui est parvenue au sommet grâce à un travail acharné et qui peut potentiellement servir d'inspiration à la prochaine génération de femmes agentes », poursuit-il. Une longue carrière dans les renseignements  Si en théorie, le chef des renseignements extérieurs britanniques est le seul membre du MI6 à être connu du grand public, beaucoup d'informations sont accessibles sur la vie et la carrière de l'agente de 47 ans. « Elle a rejoint le MI6 en 1999. Elle est diplômée en anthropologie de l'université de Cambridge. Elle a servi à l'étranger, dans certaines parties du Moyen-Orient et de l'Europe. Elle a travaillé un temps pour le MI5, les renseignements intérieurs. Et elle est actuellement à la tête de la branche Q du MI6, c'est-à -dire directrice des services d'innovation technique du Service des renseignements extérieurs. Ils sont chargés de créer des gadgets pour communiquer avec les agents à l'étranger », explique Dan Lomas. La branche Q, qui, elle aussi, dira peut-être quelque chose aux fans des aventures de l'agent 007. En 2022, Blaise Metreweli a donné une interview dans le Financial Times sous couvert d'anonymat. « Ada », le nom d'emprunt qui lui permet de témoigner en tant qu'agente du MI6, y parle beaucoup de sa vie d'agent des renseignements en poste à l'étranger et de sa vie de mère. « Elle parle des problèmes liés au fait d'être à la fois enceinte et de travailler pour le MI6. On en apprend sur l'éducation de ses enfants, son engagement à travailler pour les services. Et sur l'amour qu'elle porte à son travail. Nous savons également qu'elle est assez athlétique », décrypte Dan Lomas de l'Université de Nottingham. On apprend dans la presse britannique que pendant ses études d'anthropologie, elle a fait partie de l'équipe d'aviron de Cambridge, et qu'elle s'est engagée pour que l'on recrute davantage de personnes neuro divergentes dans les services de renseignement.  Une geek autoproclamée  Dans l'interview qu'elle accorde en 2022 au Financial Times, Blaise Metreweli indique être une « geek autoproclamée ». Une compétence qui lui a sans aucun doute servi pour obtenir son nouveau poste. Pour le ministre britannique des Affaires étrangères, David Lammy, Blaise Metreweli était « une candidate idéale dans un contexte d'instabilité mondiale et de nouvelles menaces pour la sécurité de nos concitoyens ». La passion de la future cheffe du MI6 pour la technologie et l'IA est essentielle dans le contexte actuel. « Les auditeurs peuvent s'imaginer que lorsqu'on parle d'espions, on parle de personnes en trench-coat qui transmettent des documents avec un journal sous le bras, plaisante Dan Lomas. Ce type d'espionnage existe encore. Mais il y a certaines cibles qu'il est très, très difficile de rencontrer face à face. La Russie, l'Iran, la Chine... Comment communiquer avec eux ? L'habileté consiste aujourd'hui à utiliser des méthodes ancestrales, mais à les appuyer à l'aide des nouvelles technologies. C'est là que Metreweli entre en jeu. C'est une déclaration importante de la part du MI6 : il prend ses innovations technologiques au sérieux parce qu'il choisit de placer la directrice de la branche Q au poste le plus élevé ». Blaise Metreweli va être confrontée à des défis majeurs durant son mandat à la tête du MI6. Jusqu'alors, la priorité des services de renseignements était la lutte contre le terrorisme. Aujourd'hui, les évolutions géopolitiques changent la donne. Pour Dan Lomas, ce sont certains États qui représentent désormais une menace pour le Royaume-Uni. Il évoque aussi la possibilité pour tout un chacun de faire du renseignement sur Internet. Face à ces enjeux, le MI6 va devoir se réinventer. La nouvelle cheffe du MI6 sera intronisée après l'été. Si Blaise Metreweli suit les traces de son prédécesseur Richard Moore, elle devrait être une figure présente dans les médias. Le dernier chef du MI6 avait surpris les participants du festival du Financial Times en septembre dernier. Il y avait mené une conférence conjointe avec le directeur de la CIA.  À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: Blaise Metreweli devient la première femme à la tête du renseignement extérieur

On this episode – what advice is Keir Starmer getting over Britain's potential involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict?  There are reports that the Attorney General's legal advice to the PM is to limit what it does to protect its allies from attack - Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy discuss the implications of that.  Plus, we hear David Lammy will get a meeting with his Iranian counterpart as part of a diplomatic push to prevent war. Foreign ministers from Germany and France will join the meeting in Geneva. 

The Stories We Never Tell: Writing Black Leadership into ExistenceDr Barbara Banda shares her marathon writing session during lockdown, where she spent from 3am through the night crafting the first chapter of her groundbreaking book "The Model Black." This deeply personal chapter forced her to confront experiences she'd never spoken about openly, exploring what it means to "come out as Black" in professional environments. Barbara discusses her interviews with 30 Black British leaders, including David Lammy and Trevor Phillips, revealing the strategies they use to navigate predominantly white workplaces. The conversation explores the healing power of sharing untold stories, the unique challenges faced by Black leaders in Britain, and how authentic storytelling can bridge understanding across communities.Barbara's Longest Day started writing at 3am and continued through the night, as she was determined to complete her first chapter of "The Model Black". The book is based on interviews with 30 Black British leaders, from well-known figures to those quietly leading major organisations. It focuses specifically on the British context, resisting publisher pressure to make it international. The book explores strategies for navigating predominantly white workplaces rather than being a "how-to" success guide.Best Quote: "I can't find them anywhere. I don't find that those experiences are not written down. My experience is not captured anywhere... There was nothing that I could put my hand on to say actually, if you're coaching a Black leader, or if you're leading a team, and you've got Black people within it, here's something that just might be helpful to you."Resources "The Model Black: How Black British Leaders Succeed in Organisations and Why it Matters" by Dr Barbara Banda (published by Routledge) includes interviews with leaders including David Lammy (current Foreign Secretary) and Trevor Phillips: https://www.routledge.com/The-Model-Black-How-Black-British-Leaders-Succeed-in-Organisations-and-Why-It-Matters/Banda/p/book/9781032060545?srsltid=AfmBOoptMFvTOl8eHyVb2TX_u7R0OiUgpaAGmDFeVOph05bS5E5yARn9 Contact InformationFind Dr Barbara Banda here: Website: https://www.barbarabandaconsulting.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-banda-consulting/ Find Leah Brown FRSA here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-brown-frsa-b71b0844/ and @leahtalks_ on Instagram, TikTok and X.Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode by following The Longest Day Podcast here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelongestdaypodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/15QDqkhjZw/?mibextid=wwXIfr YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLongestDayPodcast-z1x X: @longestdaypod TikTok: @thelongestdaypodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongestdaypodcast Website: www.thelongestdaypodcast.com All previous episodes: https://pod.link/1684217939

David Lammy sets out the details of the Gibralta deal

Today's episode of Gibraltar Today was recorded live from Brussels, the heart of European politics, where top level meetings were about to take place to see if it's possible to do the deal. The Foreign Secretary David Lammy spent the morning in Gibraltar and held a meeting with cabinet ministers. This unannounced visit from David Lammy to Gibraltar increased speculation that a deal is imminent. The Foreign Secretary then boarded a private flight, together with the Chief Minister, to Brussels. At the time of recording, a high-profile meeting between Mr Lammy, Mr Picardo, Jose Manuel Albares and Maros Sefcovic was imminent. It would be the first top level meeting between the four of them in a year.Jonathan Scott, alongside GBC News Editor Christine Vasquez, speculated on how the day could unfold, as they wait for the arrival of Fabian Picardo and David Lammy at the European Commission HQ. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeremy Corbyn, independent MP for Islington North, today introduced a bill into UK parliament to secure a public inquiry into Britain's role in the genocide in Gaza. The former Labour leader is demanding transparency around UK military, economic and political cooperation with Israel, including weapons, intelligence and the use of RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus. He has received support from a range of independent, Labour, Green, SNP and other MPs. Corbyn says a cover-up is going on into British complicity and adds a Chilcot-style inquiry is the only way to get to the truth. He slams his former colleagues in the Labour Party including Keir Starmer, David Lammy and John Healey, saying they should be investigated for overseeing UK complicity.

The British government recently announced the suspension of free trade talks with Israel and imposed sanctions on three individuals and four entities involved in the settler movement. Foreign Secretary David Lammy also said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent actions were “wholly disproportionate” and “utterly counterproductive”. Are more countries losing patience with Israel over their handling of the war in Gaza? Lester Kiewit speaks to Daniel Levy, a political analyst and President of the US Middle East Project.

What can we say... Sadly, this pod isn't a laugh a minute, although Jemma does manage to squeeze in a little humour when discussing Marina's social algorithm which has taking scrolling to another level of doom. Jemma landed back from a few days away from the news to the harrowing events in Liverpool and the grim state of affairs that saw Merseyside police rush to declare the ethnicity of the suspect, yet seemingly this wasn't enough to placate the usual suspects who seemingly relish any opportunity to weaponize suffering for their own gain. Talk turns to the tragic events in Washington, where two Israelis were gunned down and Netanyahu's response which is a masterclass in gaslighting and responsibility shirking. The ladies discuss how the dehumanisation of Palestinians and devaluing of their lives has become so prevalent and share one powerful explanation by Israeli journalist, Gideon Levy.And while it was only last week that David Lammy declared suspended trade negotiations with Israel, just wait till you see what our UK trade envoy has been up to.

Reunited, Coco and Nish are finally back together in the studio to talk U turns, disability benefits, Brexit and… gimp masks? There's a lot of politics to catch up on including some big shifts from the Labour government.  First on Gaza - Keir Starmer and David Lammy changed tack with fierce criticism of the Israeli government. But critics argue that without an actual arms embargo talking tough with Israel is inadequate. So is it all too little, too late?  And in another change of direction, the Prime Minister has been listening to voters and his own disgruntled MPs on benefits. He signalled a rethink on one of Labour's most unpopular moves - cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners. But reforms of disability benefits are still on the cards so Nish heads to Westminster where disability activists gathered to lobby their MPs. With a major rebellion on the cards from Labour MPs, can Starmer be steered into a U-turn on this too? Employment minister Alison McGovern explains how she's going to get more young people into work and she has a message for Pod Save the UK's disillusioned Labour voters.  And did you think Brexit bollocks was in the rearview mirror? Well sorry - this week the Brexit undead returned with nonsense we thought was safely consigned to the dustbin of history.  Guests: Alison McGovern MP Ellie Chowns MP Nadia Whittome MP Meg Thomas, Disability Rights Campaigner  Audio Credits: Parliament TV BBC GB News Useful Links:  https://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/mass-lobby-against-benefit-cuts-21st-may-be-there Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

Did someone say U-turn? Ed Balls and George Osborne have been saying it for a while, actually, when it comes to the matter of the controversial winter fuel tax cut. Now that the government has walked it back, will it do the trick and soothe voters and ease tensions with Labour MPs? Ed thinks the approach is “politically and technically messy”. George, for his part, thinks it's nothing short of a damaging “fiasco” for Labour. Meanwhile, David Lammy announced this week the suspension of trade talks with Israel, in light of the escalating violence in Gaza. Does this signal a shift in the UK-Israel relations? And will it make much difference to the crisis if it does? George isn't so sure… Plus, the pair discuss the newly-minted, post-Brexit deal with the EU - did Britain make the right calls and the right concessions? And a trip down banking regulation memory lane: is it time to wind back bank ringfencing, an ongoing legacy from the Osborne era?And a reminder, we're doing our first Political Currency live show - we'll be taking to the stage on Thursday 5th June 2025 at SXSW London.

La semana pasada Israel lanzó una nueva ofensiva en Gaza para controlar toda la franja y obligar a Hamás a liberar a los rehenes. Esta última ofensiva forma parte de una mucho mayor que comenzó tras la ruptura de la tregua en marzo y, como consecuencia, la situación humanitaria en Gaza es de nuevo crítica. Esto se debe en buena medida al bloqueo israelí que limita la entrada de suministros, algo que podría derivar en hambruna. Netanyahu anunció que permitiría convoyes de ayuda humanitaria, pero a sus aliados de derecha religiosa no les parece bien, quieren que la guerra continúe hasta que Hamas se rinda por hambre. La determinación israelí ha generado alarma en Europa y EEUU, ya que dos millones de civiles en Gaza padecen escasez de alimentos, combustible, medicinas y agua potable. El conflicto, que empezó hace ya un año y siete meses, ha dejado aproximadamente 75.000 muertos palestinos y 2.000 israelíes, con Gaza devastada y sin avances en planes de paz. Los aliados de Israel, frustrados, presionan para que acabe la guerra. EEUU y los países europeos han pedido a Netanyahu que detenga ya el conflicto, pero esto le pone ante un dilema: finalizar la guerra podría costarle el Gobierno, mientras que si continua arriesga el apoyo internacional. El Reino Unido acaba de suspender la negociación de un acuerdo comercial y ha sancionado a varios asentamientos en Cisjordania. El ministro de exteriores británico, David Lammy ha llegado a calificar el bloqueo a Gaza como “cruel e indefendible”. Francia, Canadá y otros aliados también han pedido frenar la ofensiva terrestre y amenazan con sanciones. EEUU exige el fin inmediato del conflicto y la liberación de lo rehenes, algo que complica los planes de Netanyahu ya que depende por completo de su apoyo. Aunque su Gobierno ha permitido la entrada de un centenar camiones de ayuda humanitaria esta semana, la presión estadounidense y europea le obliga a recalcular su estrategia. Netanyahu argumenta que las sanciones benefician a Hamás recordando el ataque del 7 de octubre de 2023 que desencadenó la guerra. Pero en la Casa Blanca insisten en una solución rápida. El Gobierno de Netanyahu depende de una serie de partidos que se oponen a la ayuda humanitaria y que podrían sacarle del poder tan sólo con retirarle el apoyo parlamentario. Habría que convocar elecciones y las tendría perdidas. No se podrá librar de las de octubre del año próximo y para ellas se está preparando. Sabe que no puede presentarse si no ha conseguido antes el objetivo de liquidar a Hamas. Pero no es tan fácil como podría parecer. Hamás se reinfiltra en áreas ya despejadas por el ejército israelí y a eso hay que sumar la presión diplomática desde el exterior, el agotamiento de los reservistas y el hartazgo de la población israelí, que apoya un acuerdo negociado. La oposición, liderada por Yair Golan, critica a Netanyahu por dañar la reputación internacional de Israel y convertir al país en un “estado paria” similar a la Sudáfrica del Apartheid. Golan va ganando popularidad, y su partido podría ser una fuerza a tener en cuenta en las elecciones de 2026. La negativa de Netanyahu a apoyar una administración palestina en Gaza alimenta sospechas de que prolonga la guerra por motivos políticos y que busca una ocupación permanente, algo que muchos en Israel y el extranjero rechazan. Movimientos recientes de Trump como las posibles negociaciones con Irán y los hutíes, le dificultan aún más llevar a cabo sus planes. Sin apoyo en el Congreso estadounidense y con aliados europeos cada vez más críticos, Netanyahu se encuentra aislado y con un futuro político incierto.

PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, May 21: The humanitarian situation in Gaza is on most front pages today, many of them picking up on a UN report which suggested that 14,000 babies could die if aid does not get through. Israel seems to be losing the support of many of its allies. Also, a medical journal has found that teenagers today are facing an unprecedented health crisis. And, a local Chicago newspaper has published a summer reading list almost entirely made up of fake books. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is on most front pages today. The Independent's front page calls the Gaza hunger crisis “utterly intolerable". Although Israel said it would let in some aid, the BBC reports that although the Israeli government let 93 trucks into Gaza, no aid has been given out so far. The Times of Israel looks at a UN statement issued on Tuesday, which said that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza if aid does not get through quickly. The Jerusalem Post is reporting on the backlash faced by Israeli opposition politician Yair Golan after he said that "a sane country does not kill babies as a hobby”. La Croix meanwhile says that his comments might be the start of a critical reflection on Gaza.Israel is not only facing domestic criticism. The international community has been adding pressure on Israel recently. the Guardian's front page also quotes David Lammy's speech to the House of Commons, where the foreign secretary has since announced the suspension of talks with Israel and imposed sanctions on three individuals and four entities related to the settler movement. Le Monde says that the EU has agreed to re-examine “the EU-Israel Association Agreement”, which forms the basis of the bloc's trade ties with Israel. Meanwhile, the Times is reporting that Donald Trump is also growing increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu.A report published in The Lancet has found that adolescents and young children have never been unhealthier.

The British Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, has announced the suspension of negotiations with Israel on a new trade agreement - due to what he called its "intolerable" and "abominable" recent actions in Gaza. The World Health Organisation says two million people in Gaza are starving. As Israel allows some aid in after an eleven week blockade, the British government says it's nowhere near enough. Also on the programme: Tanzania detains two prominent human rights activists who had travelled to Dar es Salaam to observe an opposition leader's treason case. And we'll have an appreciation of a ballet maestro with an iron fist.(Photo: Britain's Foreign Minister David Lammy delivers a statement on the Israel and Hamas ceasefire deal, at the House of Commons, in London, Britain, January 16, 2025.

"Starmer Sunk: Labour Wrecked as Reform UK Surges" KeirStarmer #LabourParty #ReformUK #UKPolitics #NigelFarage Keir Starmer is under intense pressure after Labour's disastrous showing in the local elections and the Runcorn by-election. Rather than reconsider, he's doubling down on policies that are deeply unpopular across the UK.

UK calls Israel's blockade of aid delivery into Gaza 'horrendous' The British Foreign Secretary is once again raising alarms about Israel's ongoing blockade of aid into Gaza, describing the humanitarian crisis as devastating. David Lammy, speaking during a session of the International Relations and Defence Committee, called the blockade ""horrendous"" and emphasised just how dire the situation has become — from the sheer level of suffering to the massive need on the ground and the staggering loss of life. Lammy said he had spoken directly with Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar a few weeks ago, making it clear that Israel has responsibilities when it comes to humanitarian access. Israeli bombardment kills several Palestinians, wounds others in Gaza Israeli air strikes on northern Gaza have killed several Palestinians and left many others injured, according to local medical sources cited by WAFA news agency. The attacks targeted the town of Beit Hanoon. This latest escalation follows Israel's decision back on March 18 to unilaterally end the ceasefire in Gaza. Since then, the renewed bombardment has killed hundreds, including over 100 children. Health officials in Gaza report at least 2,308 people have died and nearly 6,000 more have been wounded in the weeks since the assault resumed. Rubio tells India to 'work with' Pakistan to de-escalate Kashmir tensions After a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir pushed tensions to the brink, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is urging India and Pakistan to take a step back and ease hostilities. Rubio spoke with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, expressing support for India's fight against extremism. But he also called on both sides to work together to investigate the attack that left more than two dozen people dead. In his call with Jaishankar, Rubio conveyed US solidarity but also urged caution. India has blamed Pakistan for backing the attack in Pahalgam, though it hasn't presented evidence so far. Pakistan, for its part, denies the allegations and is pushing for an international investigation. US, Ukraine sign 'historic' minerals deal The United States and Ukraine have signed what both are calling a ""historic"" economic partnership, giving Washington access to Ukraine's rare mineral resources after weeks of tough negotiations. Kiev says it has secured control over its own resources as part of the deal. The agreement comes amid pressure from US President Donald Trump, who's been calling on Ukraine to ""pay back"" the support Washington has provided in helping repel Russian aggression. India's next census will include caste status, marking a 'historic' shift India has announced it will include caste identification in its next official census — the first time since independence that the government will formally record such data. It's a landmark move in a country where caste remains deeply tied to social and economic status. While higher castes continue to benefit from cultural privilege, lower castes often face systemic discrimination. This change could reshape India's political and social landscape. Estimates suggest that more than two-thirds of India's 1.4 billion people fall into historically disadvantaged castes, making this new census a potentially transformative moment in the country's long struggle with inequality.

Then, a panel of party strategists digs deeper into Carney's road ahead.Plus, Carney could be Canada's shortest-serving prime minister ever, depending on how the next election unfolds. Historian J.D.M.

Trump #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #Trump2024 From Politician to King: The Rise of Trump and the Fall of Starmer.  Is Keir Starmer's leadership on the brink of collapse? Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to dominate the global stage! In just four weeks, Trump has made major diplomatic moves, nearly brokering a peace deal in Ukraine, presenting a solution for Gaza, and forcing Europe to pay for its own defence.  His America First policies have strengthened U.S. borders and solidified his unmatched leadership. After the high-stakes meeting between Trump and Keir Starmer in Washington, D.C., it was evident who the real leader was. Trump delivered a masterclass in diplomacy, leaving Starmer looking weak, lost, and ineffective.  As Trump's influence grows, Starmer struggles to keep control of his party and the UK's future.

The Chagos deal is all but dead as David Lammy admits if Trump says no, it's not happening. Starmer flies to Washington D.C. on damage limitation to stop Trump's infamous tariffs collapsing the British economy even more than Keir has managed himself.Wake up with Morning Glory in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Freeview 280, Fire TV, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

President Volodymyr Zelensky van Oekraïne sê dit sou 'n groot fout wees om Britse, Franse en ander geallieerde troepe te ontplooi om Oekraïne se veiligheid te waarborg sonder om die VSA te betrek. Hy sê so 'n stap sal "Rusland 'n voordeel gee". Hy sê Londen en ander Navo-lidlande moet nou hul weermagte versterk of die risiko loop om hulself in die Oekraïne se posisie te bevind. Hy het vergader met David Lammy, die Britse buitelandse sake minister. Lammy het hom verseker van Britse bystand.

C dans l'air du 5 février 2025 - Après le Canada, le canal du Panama, le Groenland... Trump veut Gaza !À l'occasion de la visite du Premier ministre israélien Benyamin Nétanyahu à Washington, Donald Trump a déclaré mardi soir que les États-Unis allaient "prendre le contrôle à long terme" de l'enclave palestinienne et la vider de ses habitants. "Tous", a réaffirmé Donald Trump. "Je veux dire, nous parlons probablement d'un million sept cent mille personnes, un million sept, peut-être un million huit. Mais je pense qu'ils devraient tous partir. Je pense qu'ils seront réinstallés dans des endroits où ils pourront mener une vie meilleure et ne plus avoir à craindre de mourir chaque jour". Le président américain qui s'est dit prêt à envoyer des soldats américains a assuré que la Jordanie et l'Egypte finiront par accepter d'accueillir des réfugiés palestiniens, malgré l'opposition de ces pays ainsi que des Palestiniens eux-mêmes. Reprenant ses habits de magnat de l'immobilier, Donald Trump s'est aussi engagé à faire de ce territoire la "Côte d'Azur du Moyen-Orient".Mais ce n'est pas tout. Questionné par la journaliste de NBC News Kelly O'Donnell, le président américain a déclaré qu'il envisageait également d'expulser les Palestiniens de la Cisjordanie et d'attribuer ce territoire à Israël. "Nous en discutons", a-t-il affirmé, au sujet de la volonté de Benyamin Nétanyahu et de ses alliés d'extrême droite de prendre le contrôle de la "Judée et Samarie" bibliques, qui incluent la Cisjordanie contrôlée par l'Autorité Palestinienne. "Les gens aiment cette idée", a-t-il ajouté, promettant une annonce "sur ce sujet très spécifique dans les quatre prochaines semaines". À ses côtés, le Premier ministre israélien a salué une proposition du président américain qui pourrait "changer l'Histoire".Des propos du nouveau locataire de la Maison-Blanche fustigés en masse à travers le monde ce mercredi. Le Hamas a dénoncé la "position raciste américaine" alignée sur "l'extrême droite israélienne" visant à "éradiquer la cause palestinienne". "Nous ne permettrons pas que soient bafoués les droits de notre peuple", a-t-il déclaré de son côté le président palestinien Mahmoud Abbas.Les déclarations de Donald Trump sont "probablement dangereuses pour la stabilité et pour le processus de paix" a affirmé la porte-parole du gouvernement Sophie Primas. "La France est opposée pleinement aux déplacements des populations", a-t-elle ajouté. L'avenir de Gaza passe par "un futur État palestinien" et non par le contrôle "d'un pays tiers", avait commenté plus tôt la diplomatie française, soulignant que le déplacement forcé de la population palestinienne de la bande de Gaza constituerait une "violation grave du droit international". Gaza "appartient aux Palestiniens", a appuyé pour sa part Berlin. Ils doivent pouvoir "vivre et prospérer" dans la bande de Gaza et en Cisjordanie, a estimé le chef de la diplomatie britannique, David Lammy.L'Arabie saoudite a redit, de son côté, qu'elle ne ferait pas la paix avec Israël sans la création d'un État palestinien et s'est opposée au déplacement de la population. Le sénateur américain Chris Van Hollen, démocrate membre de la commission des relations étrangères, s'est montré plus direct, qualifiant la proposition de Trump de "nettoyage ethnique sous un autre nom".Alors Donald Trump est-il sérieux ? Quel est son plan pour Gaza ? De l'enclave palestinienne à l'Iran, quels sont ses desseins au Moyen-Orient ? Enfin quels sont les contours du "deal" au parfum de terres rares en discussion entre Donald Trump et Volodymir Zelensky ? Et quelle est la situation sur le front ukrainien ?

A trigger warning for progressives: this episode contains explicit Trump content.Nish and Coco's nightmare begins with inauguration Trump meme coins, grinning tech bros and disputed Nazi salutes. Then comes the blizzard of executive orders targeting migrants and freeing rioters.  But this is not just a bad dream for our liberal hosts. This is the reality of Trump world. The groundwork of MAGA 2.0 has been laid.How should Britain react? The UK's very own “basket of deplorables” including Farage, Truss and Braverman donned their MAGA caps and descended on the US. But they didn't even scrape an invitation to the main event. Back home Keir Starmer and David Lammy opted for love-bombing the new President. But there is an alternative to a sucking up strategy. Pod Save the UK has spotted some green shoots of resistance.  While Trump has thrown the Paris Climate Agreement out the window - again - the UK has an opportunity to lead the way on the environment.

In this explosive video, I dive deep into the shocking revelations of UK politics under the Labour Party and Keir Starmer's leadership. Why does the UK reward terrorists and failures while the working-class suffer? I examine David Lammy's decision to give £50 million to HTS, an offshoot of Al-Qaeda that now controls Syria, and why this is a grave mistake for national security. Meanwhile, millions of UK pensioners are struggling, forced to choose between heating and eating as Starmer's government steals their Winter Fuel Allowance. The video also looks at the curious case of Gareth Southgate, the ex-England football manager who, despite his failures, has been knighted, while true national heroes like Nigel Farage are left unrecognized. We explore how political priorities are out of sync with the needs of ordinary people, as Labour seems to reward failure while neglecting the issues that matter most to everyday Brits. From issues like national security, taxpayer money misuse, and the political establishment's priorities, to free speech and the rise of controversial figures like David Lammy—this video tackles it all. Is the UK on the brink of a major political disaster under Keir Starmer's Labour? Watch now and get the full picture of what's really happening in UK politics today!

Recorded Live at the UK COP Pavilion and moderated by Tom, ‘From Call to Action: the Bridgetown Initiative and delivering Global Financial System Reform' is an inspiring conversation between Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley and Foreign Secretary, UK, David Lammy. Mia Mottley called the world to action when she released the initial Bridgetown Initiative at UNGA in 2022. Now in its third iteration, the Bridgetown Initiative brings together an ambitious and holistic set of calls for reforms to make the Global Financial System more inclusive, more shock-responsive, and better scaled to meet the financing challenges and needs for developing countries. The UK is ready to stand up to face those challenges head-on. As a G7 country with the largest sustainable financial centre in the world, a track-record of delivering financial innovations and influencing the global debate, a key voice in the governance of the System, the UK has a strong track-record and platform to deliver. And deliver we must: the global financial system needs to deliver a fairer deal for developing countries. This conversation is a frank discussion between two leading voices to understand the problems, identify solutions, and drive reforms to create a world free of poverty on a liveable planet.

It's happened. The scenario Labour politicians hoped would not come to pass is now a reality: Donald Trump is heading back to the White House. The official line from Labour is that everything is fine – they will work with whoever holds the office of president. However, privately there have long been nerves and concerns as to what a Trump comeback would mean for the Starmer government. Where are the fault lines likely to appear? And what does a second Trump term mean for foreign secretary David Lammy, considering his previous comments about the Donald? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and John McTernan. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

It's happened. The scenario Labour politicians hoped would not come to pass is now a reality: Donald Trump is heading back to the White House. The official line from Labour is that everything is fine – they will work with whoever hold the office of president. That was the message from Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions as he congratulated president-elect Trump, and made a point of mentioning they had recently had dinner together. However – Kemi Badenoch focused on David Lammy's past criticisms of Trump at PMQs. Is this a unique tension for the Labour government? James Heale discusses with Michael Gove and Katy Balls.

Ben is joined by guest host David Lammy, British MP and Shadow Foreign Secretary. They discuss the upcoming election in the UK on July 4th and how historic a Labour win by Keir Starmer would be, how to read into popular support for Nigel Farage and his far-right party, an election betting scandal from people within Rishi Sunak's inner circle, and the key domestic and economic issues on the line. They also talk about David's theory of “progressive realism” and how a Labour foreign policy would continue to advocate for unity on the war in Ukraine, pressure Hamas and Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire, and what it would mean for David to represent his country as Foreign Secretary. Then, Ben touches on the arrival of a Kenyan police force in Haiti, Julian Assange's release from prison, and speaks to New York Times reporter Edward Wong about his new book, “At the Edge of Empire: A Family's Reckoning with China”.Democracy or Else is OUT NOW!
