In a dramatic statement to MPs this morning, Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle revealed that he had felt "duty-bound" to report to the police what he had heard on a recent trip to the British Virgin Islands - that Peter Mandelson was due to head to the island. It was that tip off which led to Mandelson being arrested and questioned by the Met on Monday, and an allegation that has been called "baseless" by our former ambassador to the Washington.Why did Mandelson point the finger at a different parliamentarian for his arrest? Why did ugly scenes at PMQs follow? And is it undermining Labour's campaign in the Gorton and Denton by-election?Later, we speak to justice minister Sarah Sackman about the "courts blitz" announced by the government, that by-election, and Peter Mandelson.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Questions have been raised over whether adding politicians in Australia would improve law-making or just add bureaucracy. Australia's Labor Government is pushing to add 40 members to Parliament before the 2028 election. Nine News chief political editor Charles Croucher says electorates are so large that it's becoming harder for single MPs to represent them. But he says Australia also has layers of Government to consider. "We're already pretty over-governed over here, it's not just the federal Parliament you've got to think about, it's state Parliament."

Le nuove perizie volute dalla commissione d'inchiesta hanno rivelato che le lesioni al volto di Rossi non sarebbero riconducibili alla caduta, ma sarebbero compatibili con un' aggressione. Uno scenario che smentirebbe le sentenze che avevano chiuso il caso bollandolo come un suicidio. Ne parliamo con Gianluca Vinci, deputato di FdI e presidente della commissione parlamentare d'inchiesta sulla vicenda.

The House of Commons has long steered clear of debating the royal family - until today. MPs have been told they are free to discuss Prince Andrew, following his withdrawal from public royal duties, but what are the rules when it comes to debating a royal - and what, exactly, can they say?Hugo Rifkind unpacks the politics of the day with Sarah Ditum and Patrick Kidd Hosted on Acast.

Sean Curran reports as MPs call for the release of papers concerning Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's role as trade envoy.

Host Victor records a combined podcast episode (delayed by illness and heavy snow) covering multiple shows, with timestamps promised in show notes. He gives a spoiler-free endorsement of the Night of the Seven Kingdoms finale, praising its more humane, character-focused close and calling several scenes among the best in the Game of Thrones universe. Victor then delivers an in-depth recap of Industry season 4 episode 7 (“Points of Emphasis”), focusing on Yasmin and Henry's unraveling marriage and Henry's dependence on Yasmin to “mother” him. A letter from Whitney is framed as a strategic document meant to implicate Henry in Tender's crisis. Victor emphasizes the episode's themes of narrative as reality in finance and politics, comparing it to real-world corporate valuations and acquisitions, and arguing the economy often runs on belief and storytelling. He outlines Harper's strategy to attack Tender via press and political leaks, Yasmin's manipulation of tabloids and MPs to force a new audit, and internal government backstabbing within the ruling party. Whitney and Henry fly to New York to pitch an overpaying acquisition of PeerPoint to avoid scrutiny, but Whitney is threatened by Ferdinand over the value of Tender's data set. At the PeerPoint meeting, Whitney's claim that shell companies give him standing is later revealed as a lie; PeerPoint used Tender's bid to raise another offer. Whitney disappears, and Tender's stock collapses after the government imposes a full PricewaterhouseCoopers audit, implying Harper's short will pay off. The episode ends with a key Yasmin–Harper reconciliation, mutual admiration, and a club scene where they promise to “have each other's back” and share a nonsexual kiss. Victor is then joined by Alan, who discusses watching Night of the Seven Kingdoms weekly, contrasting it favorably with House of the Dragon. They praise the show's intimate scale, character focus, and finale highlights (Dunk and Arlan under the tree, recurring knighting motifs, Lionel's complexity, Baelor's reflections, Maekar's confession and request to protect his son, Egg's hair reveal, and the “Nine Kingdoms” joke). They note the penultimate episode's violence escalation, discuss criticisms such as “fridging,” and comment on the show's six short episodes and Warner Brothers' stated goal of annual seasons. They move to Paradise season 2 episodes 1–3. They recall Paradise season 1's surprise sci-fi twist and word-of-mouth success, noting the new official podcast. Episode 1 (“Graceland”) follows a new character, portrayed by Shailene Woodley in the present, with flashbacks to her youth and medical training; she lives at Graceland during the early apocalypse, meets Link and his group (who subvert expectations by not being predatory), has sex with Link, becomes pregnant, and hears discussion of a Colorado bunker and an instruction to kill “Alex.” She later sees a burning plane and rides out, leading into episode 2. Episode 2 centers on Xavier's post-bunker flight, crash, encounters with a group of children, and a violent confrontation with an armed adult; Victor and Alan like some flashback material (including Xavier meeting his wife) but find the “lost kids” plotline less compelling. Episode 3 returns to the bunker's politics: the new president proposes “summer” as a quality-of-life change, Sinatra interrogates Jane with a polygraph, and multiple characters experience nosebleeds and visions tied to “Project Alex,” quantum entanglement, and a newly introduced “Venus effect” threat. Alan criticizes implausible plot points, including a bar-room corporate signature transfer and the president's assassination staging, where Jane appears incompetent and relies on convenience to frame Sinatra. The episode ends with Cal's son detained and brought to a secured area connected to Project Alex, while Victor and Alan speculate the season may introduce time-travel elements. They plan to continue weekly discussions when Darren returns. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Show Packed Preamble 02:37 Industry Episode Setup 02:45 Yasmin and Henry Fallout 09:50 Faith Economy Digression 16:46 Whitney Pitch and PurePoint 22:13 Political Backstabbing Plot 30:34 New York Threats and Data 34:03 Deal Collapses and Aftermath 36:26 Yasmin Harper Bonding 40:14 Alan Joins and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'  49:02 Stakes and Spoilers 50:27 Pilot to Finale Shift 52:41 Budget and Battle Clarity 54:20 Fridging and Prequel Pitfalls 57:01 Finale Craft and Knighthood 01:04:10 George Martin Delays 01:08:09 Thrones Ending Debate 01:10:38 Finale Scene Highlights 01:15:00 Maekar Confession Scene 01:16:31 Spotting a Chameleon Actor 01:17:23 Egg's Hair Horror 01:18:08 Finale Tag Debate 01:20:35 Nine Kingdoms Math 01:23:00 Wrap Up and Switch Shows 01:23:30 Paradise Premise and Twist 01:26:26 Fogelman and This Is Us Tone 01:28:37 Pulpy Fun vs Prestige Drama 01:30:48 Eighty Songs Running Gag 01:31:50 Dewey Decimal Theory 01:33:20 Season Two Twist Speculation 01:34:48 Graceland Episode Breakdown 01:38:49 Apocalypse POV and Plot Holes 01:41:31 How Long Would You Survive 01:43:20 Prepping Books and Faraday Plans 01:45:15 Population Collapse Thought Experiment 01:46:29 Gail Dies and Link Arrives 01:47:11 Tactical Crew Subversion 01:48:56 One Night Pregnancy Debate 01:49:57 Messiah Parallel and Awkward Sex 01:52:22 Body Hair Realism and Hesitation 01:55:39 Burning Plane and Horse Return 01:58:21 Nosebleeds and Time Fugue 02:00:20 Xavier Crash and Lost Boys 02:03:54 Flashback Romance and Blindness 02:07:07 Swamp Fight and Kid Brutality 02:10:15 Back to Bunker Politics 02:12:54 Climate Control Logic 02:14:15 Diplomacy Fail Fallout 02:16:08 Venus Effect Escalation 02:18:19 Quantum Entanglement Talk 02:21:42 Billy Hitman Flashback 02:23:11 Barroom Paperwork Nitpick 02:26:16 Polygraph Loophole Bug 02:28:35 Nosebleeds and Visions 02:30:44 President Assassination Setup 02:34:54 Project Alex and Wrap Up

An unofficial select committee run by ten former MPs from across the political spectrum has found that last year's pay equity changes should be repealed. The People's Select Committee on Pay Equity heard nearly 1400 substantive submissions on the law changes which canned 33 pay equity claims. The findings were revealed at an event at the National Library in Wellington this morning. Nick James reports.

Marilyn Waring. Remember her? Once an activist always an activist. Marilyn took it upon herself to form her own select committee and she and a bunch of other MPs and interested parties opened their doors for submissions on pay equity and the changes the Government made that they didn't like. When doors like that get opened, people of like minds tend to wander through, and they sit around all agreeing with each other about how bad things are. The ensuing report, which has just been released, tells you exactly what you would think it would. The problem with pay equity is it's an unsolvable problem, unless you take on a North Korea/Cuba type view of the world and simply get the Government to make all the rules. The simple truth of it is different jobs have different values. Another truth is some women choose work that doesn't pay as much as other work. Men do as well, but not as much. Some of the work that doesn't pay as much is predominantly done by women. The most famous case involved a woman called Kristine Bartlett and the aged care sector. Rightly or wrongly jobs of compassion and care tend to be done by females. I would argue that's largely because they tend to be nicer people overall but that would probably lead to a charge of me being sexist, which I'm not. What I am is a realist and you can see the issue. Should age care workers be paid more? Probably. But if they were, who would foot the bill? The people paying the age care bills of course. Could we artificially boost their pay? Well, that is where we got into dreadful trouble. They ended up comparing age care workers with mechanics and got a massive pay rise. Trouble is it was always false. Mechanics are not age care workers any more than air stewards are. You can look for commonalities, twist logic all you want, but you either artificially mess with it, or you let the market be the market. Most jobs have a rationale as to why they pay what they do and at all times, all jobs are open to all people, depending on desire and skill. So essentially Marilyn and her mates have wasted their time. Logic wins. The market wins. If you want more money, do a job that pays more of it, male or female. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, the People's Select Committee of former MPs has reported back today and, completely unsurprisingly, has slammed the Government for scrapping the pay equity law last year. Which is fair enough in some ways, it was a shoddy process. The MPs say it offends the rule of law and they're probably right. It was done in a hurry to save last year's Budget, rushed through under urgency and changed the rules retrospectively. It's all really cynical stuff from a Government and too much of that sort of behaviour undermines confidence in the way the system works. But even though they make some fair points and mount some fair criticism of the way Nicola Willis and Brooke van Velden ran this thing out, I can't get past the next question I have, which is: so what? What do these former MPs think will happen as a result of this report? The pay equity scheme is not going to be brought back in the form it previously existed. It's far too expensive. The cost to the Government was estimated at $13 billion over four years. The cost to the entire economy would have been much, much higher. The former MPs want political parties to make it a bottom line to reintroduce the scheme after the election. No party can credibly commit to that. Where would they find $13 billion, other than by making the country's already worrying structural deficit even worse and adding to our already far-too-large debt? Chippy will make noises about bringing it back, but press him a little harder - ask him where he's going to find the money - and you don't get any sufficient answers. Ultimately, that's where the argument ends - where do you find the money? Yes, it was bad lawmaking. Yes, people were hurt by it. Yes, it's fair to criticise. But where do you get the money?

Early childhood education fees have soared, which could see more facilities closing their doors. Do we need the Government to intervene and help keep these facilities going? The People's Select Committee of former MPs has written a report criticising the Government for scrapping the pay equity law last year. Do we agree with this?

Findings claim the Government extinguishing pay-equity claims destroyed an earlier system that was fit for purpose. The People's Select Committee - a group of 10 former women MPs - has released its final report on the changes rushed through by the coalition under urgency last year. It held three months of hearings and almost 1400 submissions. Group chair and former National MP, Dame Marilyn Waring, raised questions about the 'urgency' that this legislation was rushed under. "This wasn't an emergency war regulation, it was an equal pay amendment. It's just quite unnecessary, you don't do that. And so, it was all done simply for the Budget."

On the four-year anniversary of Russia's illegal invasion into Ukraine, we need to give credit where it is due and say that this Government, or at the very least the National Party and NZ First, are saying the right things around the reality of Russia illegal actions in Ukraine and where NZ's support needs to beRyan Bridge is either a useful idiot, or maybe just an idiot, as he tried to trap Chippy again and again over the cost of a new harbour crossing in Auckland and untruths about Genisis Energy.A group of female ex-MPs from the left and right of politics have taken the Government to task over the way it hurried through changes to pay equity reforms last year. The People's Select Committee called it a 'flagrant and significant abuse of power', which amounted to 'orchestrated subterfuge'.++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/

Bridget Phillipson has unveiled Labour's long-awaited overhaul of the special educational needs and disabilities system – a £4 billion reform designed to rein in spiralling costs and bring order to what MPs across the House describe as a broken model. Ministers insist this is reform, not retrenchment – but with councils under intense financial pressure and families fearful of losing hard-won support, Labour backbenchers are watching closely. Is this a genuine attempt to fix an unsustainable system, or just a cost-cutting exercise?Tim Shipman speaks to Isabel Hardman.Produced by Megan McElroy and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

A third Conservative crosses the floor. Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre runs damage control after one of his MPs goes off script on the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. And Ottawa wins a “psychological victory” after the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Trump's emergency tariffs. Chris Selley and Lorne Gunter join Brian to discuss how, with all these developments and more, Prime Minister Mark Carney's mojo seems to just get better every day. Meanwhile, Conservatives can't seem to catch a break. With a snap election still extremely possible, and the NDP seeming only weaker and unlikelier to compete for Liberal votes, they discuss why Poilievre is facing a dangerous situation for his party, and his leadership.

Calls for former Prince Andrew—now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—to face a formal inquiry and cooperate with ongoing investigations have intensified across the UK amid fresh revelations tied to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Recently released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice have shown extensive correspondence between Andrew and Epstein from when Andrew served as the UK's trade envoy, prompting critics to argue that these communications raise serious questions about potential misconduct, including sharing sensitive information while in public office. The Director of Public Prosecutions stressed that “nobody is above the law,” and Thames Valley Police, along with other forces, is now assessing allegations of misconduct in public office, adding to demands from figures such as former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and ex-Business Secretary Vince Cable for a full police probe and parliamentary scrutiny of how Andrew's actions were handled. Anti-monarchy campaign groups have also staged protests calling for an inquiry that would extend to what senior royals knew about his links with Epstein.Alongside these UK pressures, there are domestic demands from MPs and public commentators that Andrew should be compelled to answer questions about his knowledge of Epstein's network and associated abuses, with calls for him to appear before both British authorities and, in some cases, US lawmakers. The combination of leaked files, growing media scrutiny, and vocal pressure from politicians and advocacy groups has kept the controversy in the spotlight, fuelling debate about accountability, transparency, and the role of UK institutions—including the monarchy—in addressing allegations linked to one of the most enduring scandals involving a member of the royal family.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Police under renewed pressure to investigate Andrew over Epstein ties after intervention from former minister | The Independent

Il Cda di Monte dei Paschi ha deciso la fusione per incorporazione di Mediobanca e il successivo delisting, mantenendola però operativa come società distinta con lo stesso brand e focalizzata su private e investment banking. La struttura scelta punta a preservare l identità di Mediobanca e a rassicurare la Bce sulla continuità del piano legato all Opas. Nella nuova architettura, le attività per la clientela di fascia alta confluiranno in una società non quotata interamente controllata da Mps, che manterrà anche la quota del 13,2% in Generali. Confermata la road map per sinergie stimate in 700 milioni. Avviati i lavori per riacquistare il restante 14% di Mediobanca ancora sul mercato. Maggiori dettagli sono attesi all investor day del 27 febbraio, prima del passaggio assembleare. Ne parliamo con Paolo Paronetto, RadiocorDecreto bollette in Cdm. Ultimi ritocchi: si lavora per bonus oltre i 115 euroIl decreto bollette, all esame del Consiglio dei ministri, vale circa 2,5-3 miliardi e punta a ridurre il costo dell elettricità per famiglie e imprese. Il bonus per i nuclei con Isee fino a 10mila euro, o 20mila con almeno quattro figli, potrebbe salire da 115 a 125 euro. Tra le misure allo studio: la vendita del gas stoccato durante la crisi del 2022 per ridurre il differenziale di prezzo tra Ttf e Psv, la rimodulazione degli incentivi alle rinnovabili e lo spostamento di alcuni oneri e costi Ets sulle bollette. Bruxelles potrebbe però considerare quest ultima misura un aiuto di Stato. Fitto ha smentito un suo coinvolgimento diretto nel dossier, mentre Salvini propone un contributo straordinario delle banche per finanziare il taglio delle bollette. La cronaca è affidata a Celestina Dominelli, Il Sole 24 Ore e il commento a Davide Tabarelli, presidente Nomisma EnergiaLegacoop-Prometeia, Pil Italia + 0,7% nel 2026, +0,6% nel 2027Il rapporto Legacoop-Prometeia prevede una crescita del Pil italiano moderata e in rallentamento: +0,7% nel 2026, +0,6% nel 2027 e +0,5% nel 2028. A sostenere l economia sono domanda interna, Pnrr e investimenti, mentre i consumi restano deboli per la prudenza delle famiglie. L inflazione si mantiene intorno al 2%. Il Pnrr avrà il picco di spesa nel 2026 con un impatto stimato dello 0,3% sul Pil. Restano rischi legati ai dazi Usa, con un effetto negativo sulla crescita di 0,3-0,4 punti nel biennio 2026-2027. Il debito pubblico cala lentamente e il progressivo ritiro della Bce aumenterà la quota di titoli da assorbire dal mercato privato, mantenendo elevata la pressione finanziaria.

Is it in the best interest of opposition leaders to see weak Prime Ministers resign? In this week's EMQs Ed and George debate whether it benefits the opposition to depose a vulnerable Prime Minister. What are the consequences if their successor is a better leader? What comes first for the Leader of the Opposition - the country, or the party? And - can just anyone become Prime Minister? Do party leaders need to be MPs or might Britain see its own Mark Carney emerge? The pair discuss historical examples in favour of and against this notion and how it could happen again. They then weigh up an even bigger question: has the podcast turned them into influencers? With so many high profile people in the political world tuning in, are they taking notes on what Ed and George say?Finally, Sky News political reporter Ben Bloch chimes in with a response to our question last week about what would happen in the event a PM was incapacitated. He consulted the Labour Party rule book, and it got him wondering if Britain should adopt a US style line of succession for government. Is it time to codify the unwritten rules?We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question.Thanks for listening.
