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.

It's official: Canada has a new prime minister. Former central banker Mark Carney has been sworn in as Canada's new leader and will immediately take on the challenge of U.S. President Donald Trump and his tariffs. To do so, he's got a new, slimmed-down cabinet. Housing Minister Nathaniel Erskine-Smith joins the show to discuss the new crew, and Carney's move to scrap the consumer carbon tax. 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. Stewart lays out how long Carney needs to hold on before he crosses the “Tupper line” and looks back at what other short-timers have accomplished in office.Finally, in a Canadian exclusive interview, Catherine Cullen talks to U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy about Trump's attacks on Canadian sovereignty and why the British response has comparatively muted.This episode features the voices of:Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Minister of HousingMarci Surkes, Liberal strategistShakir Chambers, Conservative strategistGeorge Soule, NDP strategistJ.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.

Like a patient on the operating table with no pulse, the UK economy is barely growing. Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are desperately banging on the chest of the patient trying to revive it, but they don’t know how to bring it back to life. December figures show that the economy barely grew by just 0.1%. They talk of growth, but where is it going to come from? 10,000 millionaires have quit the UK in the last six months! China’s economy grew by 5% last year. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/FgXuoDMFE3c Retail sales were down in December! I’ve never heard of retail sales falling over Christmas. More inflation is expected as UK borrowing costs and bond yields have risen sharply. The country’s additional borrowing costs will run to £12 billion per annum. Paid by us, taxpayers of course. Governments screw up, we foot the bill. This could mean higher interest rates and higher mortgage costs for all of us at a time, and the Bank of England should be cutting rates. The market has lost confidence in the UK chancellor Rachel Reeves. She is out of her depth and reminds me the person that talks a good game and job interview but in reality hasn’t got a clue when they’ve got the job. Labour have got off to the worst start and any government I’ve never known. They want to give away the Chagos islands to Mauritius, and then lease it back at a cost of £9 billion! I’ve heard of sale and leaseback, but not “give” and leaseback. This will surely be remembered as the Prime Minister’s “Gordon Brown” moment. Gordon Brown was the Labour chancellor who sold off the U.K.’s gold reserves to China at rock bottom prices. Gold has risen by at least 10 times since the ill-fated sell-off. They inexplicably cut the small winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, taxed private school fees, and raised national insurance costs for employers, taxed our farmers and borrowed an additional £145 billion, all of which have made them hugely unpopular. And yet, the FT 100 index, reached a record level today! Apparently they expect interest rates to be cut by 0.25% when the Bank of England meet next month Will the Bank of England hold or cut rates next month? The implications are huge for the country and for the 700,000 borrowers who will come off fixed interest rates this year, as well as the first-time buyers who want to go on the property ladder. Buy to let property investment has become almost unviable, unless you have a large deposit or buying cheap properties up in the north-east. Some good news could be on the horizon for first time buyers as regulators are expected to relax lending rules. However, could this lead to another boom and bust? The massive building firm Taylor Wimpey has reported good profits of over £400 million last year and they built almost 10,000 new homes. Perhaps labours plan to relax planning rules will bring more homes onto the housing market. China What is going on between Labour and China? Why did Rachel Reeves desert her post at the time of the bond crisis last week? What are they given away for China to buy UK bonds? The Chinese government does not give anything without expecting something in return, and they normally bargain very hard. Foreign Secretary, David Lammy is expected to approve a new super embassy for China on the site of the old Royal Mint. Why does any country need a super embassy with hundreds of “diplomats”? Donald Trump could turn the US economy around, but will we get a decent trade deal after labour have alienating themselves from the new president elect? David Lammy, with his personal attacks, labour sending 100 people to America to canvas for Joe Biden during the US elections and now rushing to sign a deal with Mauritius before the presidential inauguration on January 20. Now it appears Labour are getting closer to China. The previous government cooled relations with China over Chinese technology, tensions over Hong Kong and Taiwan, the South China Sea, cyber security and allegations of spying. In summary, the lunatics have taken over the asylum! What does this mean for you? What can we do to cope on a personal level? If you believe we are entering choppy waters and stormy weather, now is the time to batten down the hatches and tighten your belts. This is not the time to purchase an £80,000 car on a lease or buy a fast-food franchise and open up yet another burger bar on the High Street. I’ve seen at least two or three new fast-food outlets or restaurants popping up on the High Street in the last couple of months. They are occupying premises that previous owners of similar businesses who went bust. I’ve talked to some of the business owners, and they are struggling. I walk past their restaurants and see the empty tables. I talk to a lady who opened up to bubble tea outlets and lost all her savings within six months. Her sign is still above the empty shop, which means the landlord has not been able to let the property again. Manage your money and control your spending. Invest wisely. If you’re nearing retirement, I would check with your financial advisor as to where your pension funds are invested. If you are young, I would learn more about AI. AI will kill 300 million jobs worldwide according to a recent report. People already been laid off in the City of London and Wall Street due to the impact of AI. A massive rise in employer national insurance contributions will hardly encourage employers to take on more staff. Worse still, it could lead to redundancies. Could be an easier time for homebuyers, if interest rates fall and the regulators ease the stringent restrictions on mortgage lending. Expect the best but prepare for the worst.

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. Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer joins the pod to explain how clever cross party collaboration and campaigning could push through the new Climate and Nature Bill.And Jon Favreau, host of ‘Pod Save America' and ‘Offline', joins Nish and Coco from across the pond to find out what's in store for the US, UK and the world.Useful LinksWrite to your MP about the Climate and Nature Billhttps://action.zerohour.uk/https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/GuestsJon FavreauCarla Denyer MPAudio CreditsX / Lawrence FoxChannel 4 NewsSky NewsBBCPod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukInsta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK

Every January, I like to make some predictions about the year ahead. Then, in my final post of the year, which this will probably be, I go back and review them. That's what we are doing today.Before I begin, just a couple of things:* In case you missed it, check out Friday's piece on North American tax loss selling. It has 9 ideas for short-term trades, which could come good by February.* And there is now a video version of "The Chainsaw and the Swamp: A Tale of Two Economies" for your Sunday morning viewing pleasure.Right. Here we go …Predictions are funny things. The more outlandish the prediction, the more entertaining the copy, but the less likely it is to actually happen. What is more important: getting lots of eyeballs or being right?I like this exercise because it demonstrates just how much perspective can change over time. While we can change strategy as events develop, what I wrote a year ago does not, so when you look back at stuff you got wrong, you can look foolish, even if you changed tack in real time. On the other hand, if you got stuff right, people go - well that was obvious.So the rules of my little game are this: I score two points for a direct hit, one for a good call, zero for a miss, and minus one for a "David Lammy on Mastermind" fail.I made 15 predictions. Here they are:1. The Great Decline goes on.I was pleased with this one, even if it was rather negative.“Everywhere the state's tentacles reach remains a drain on productivity. Our once-great institutions continue to fall apart, like zombie meth addicts, stumbling towards dysfunction... The ordinary worker desperately trying to improve his lot is bled dry by taxes, inflation, housing costs, and the voracious state monster. Fiat loses yet more of its purchasing power. The South Africanisation of everything continues.”Gosh, it's depressing and negative. Things may be changing on the other side of the pond, but they are not in Europe. Two points.2. Gold breaks out to new highs and goes to $2,400. And some. $2,790 was the high. We're now at $2,620. Two points.3. Bitcoin goes to new highs as well.Yup. We are at $98,000 as I write. $108,000 was the high. Two points.4. For reasons I don't understand, ethereum outperforms bitcoin.Ethereum always seems to move later in the cycle and by more, hence the prediction. But in 2024 bitcoin outperformed. Zero points.5. The US dollar trends sideways.It didn't. The US Dollar Index began the year at 100 and ended about 8% higher around 108. Another big fat zero.6. Sterling has problems.Cable began the year at around $1.27 and it's now at $1.25, having been as high as $1.34. So it's down a bit. But the eight-year cycle low that I am looking for has not materialized. I'm sure it's coming, but zero points.7. The Tories are eviscerated.Pleased with this one.They had their chance and they blew it. Come the General Election this year, the voters are unforgiving. … The SNP is similarly annihilated. The shortcomings of our political system are there for all to see. But nothing that needs to change does. Roughly 80% of the country did not vote Labour, yet they got 63% of the seats. Incredible. And they call it democracy. Two points.8. Uranium to hit $125/lb.Nope. The highest it got was $105/lb, and that was in January. It spent the rest of the year declining; it's now at $73. Minus one. Totally wrong.9. Fast and processed food companies have problems.I think I am early to this. Let's see what RFK does. But, by way of proxy, McDonald's is flat on the year; Burger King (Restaurant Brands International) is down 14%; KFC is off about 10%.Good call. Two points.Seed oils are losing.10. Good year for the Japanese yen. It has to go up sometime right? It's so cheap.Nope. It went down. Minus one.11. The S&P500 has a good year.I'll say. It's up 25%. Way above expectation. Two points.12. Small caps outperform.Apart from a brief spell in summer, they didn't. It feels like they are starting to, but nope. Zero points.13. UK house prices. Atrophy and stagnation, but no meltdownThat feels about right. About 50% of stuff on the market isn't selling, apparently. I'm not surprised; the cost of moving is so high. Two points.14. Silver. Can it stage a meaningful rally above $30?Nope, I said. It went to $34 in October. Now it's $29. Was that rally meaningful? Well, it did better than I thought it would. Zero points.15. Liverpool win the league; Sheffield United, Burnley, and Luton are relegated.Got the losers right but not the winners. 1 point.All in all, not a great showing. 13 points.Oddly enough, whenever I score low on the predictions, I have a much better year in the portfolio. That was the case this year, where we have had some real winners in the Flying Frisby: bitcoin and MicroStrategy, obviously, but also Lightbridge and Novavax too. Meanwhile, the low-risk Dolce Far Niente portfolio is rocking it.Happy Christmas everyone.

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. Huge thanks goes to UK COP Pavilion for allowing us to use their audio recording of this conversation.

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.
People are fed up of immigration, fed up of the cost of living and sick to the back teeth of this woke culture BS. Donald Trump talks their language and has the charisma and drive to deal with these problems head on and he doesn't care who he has to upset to achieve those aims. He wants and will make America great again. Thats why the Establishment hate him and are always trying to destroy or imprison him. The legacy media are in bed with the politicians and also subscribe to this woke agenda. They all think we are GARBAGE! Last night Trump not only defeated the Democrats he also destroyed he legacy media and that's why they cant cope with fallout. Now we in the UK need a leader like Trump to change our politics too. I want to make Britain Great again don't you? Let's start by sacking David Lammy. Please support me here www.buymeacoffee.com/jongaunt

In this special weekend edition of the podcast, hosts Tom, Christiana, and Paul catch up with The Rt Hon David Lammy, the UK's new Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Office. In a fascinating conversation, they delve into his decision to place climate change at the heart of his first major speech as Foreign Secretary and discuss why he sees the climate emergency as a national security issue. The Foreign Secretary expresses his outrage at recent trends which have seen climate change used as a political ping pong issue and shares insights into how we might build consensus across parties on the climate and nature agenda. The hosts also take a moment to congratulate him on the appointment of friend of the podcast, Rachel Kyte, as the UK's new Climate Envoy. Tune in to hear the full conversation and discover why the Foreign Secretary's answers convince the hosts that the UK is once again a global leader in climate action.Make sure to tune in Thursday October 3rd to our brand new five-part series called How To Live a Good Life in a Climate Crisis.

This weekend we had another twist in the story involving Labour donor Lord Alli, who was caught up in a 'cash for access' scandal a couple of weeks back. It now seems he has forked out the thick end of 20k on clothes and glasses for Keir Starmer and his wife. Foreign sec David Lammy was on the Sunday media round and gave a less than convincing defence of the prime minister and Lady Victoria. Has the PM broken the rules already? Also today, Keir Starmer is in Rome meeting Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni today where they will be discussing boat crossings and Italy's deal with Albania. It's a timely first engagement for Starmer's new border security commander Martin Hewitt. Will he succeed in 'smashing the gangs'? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Fraser Nelson. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
Today, at least eight people have died whilst trying to cross the Channel from France to England. Foreign secretary David Lammy spoke to Laura, with Keir Starmer's upcoming trip to Italy where immigration has also been a key issue for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Laura and Paddy, joined by Newsnight's Nick Watt, also react to Lammy speaking about the Western allies stance on allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia and his views on former US President Donald Trump and the misinformation he shared during the Presidential debate this week about migrants.Plus, there's chat about UEFA warning the government that England could be kicked out of Euro 2028 over the independent football regulator and Victoria Starmer's clothes shopping being paid for by Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli.You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Isabel Hardman presents highlights from Sunday morning's political shows. The foreign secretary talks up support for Ukraine, but won't comment on whether they will be granted long-range missiles. David Lammy and James Cleverly disagree over the severity of Keir Starmer's potential rule breaking. Cleverly calls Labour ‘arrogant and inexperienced'. And Ed Davey defends his party's ability to effectively criticise the government. Produced by Joe Bedell-Brill.
Keir Starmer and David Lammy are in the Washington for a planned foreign policy summit with Joe Biden. They will principally be talking about a new deal regarding the use of UK long range missiles in Russia, a move which Putin has warned would constitute an escalation of the war and the formalisation of NATO's involvement. Also up for discussion is support for Israel after the foreign secretary announced a partial embargo on arms. Is the UK diverging from the US on foreign policy? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Keir Giles, fellow at Chatham House and author of Who Will Defend Europe? Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
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!
