There have been violent scenes outside schools across France as a dispute over learning conditions continues. The French government has accused left-wing party La France Insoumise of stoking up the disturbances. One of the party's MPs tells us that the accusation is “absurd” and reflects the government's disdain for young people. Also on the programme: we hear from the lawyer of Renee Good's family as they file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over her killing during a Minneapolis immigration crackdown; and the Beatles album Rubber Soul is re-released with previously unheard studio tracks.(Picture: A protest over conditions in the education system in Montpellier, 02 October 2026.

Net Zero was once a radical idea. Now it's both an accepted global target, and an increasingly toxic political faultline.This week, Tom is back from the UN General Assembly and New York Climate week, where António Guterres used his last speech as UN Secretary-General to call for every country to set a timeline for quitting fossil fuels. But around the world, politicians are turning against the very idea. In Britain, a committee of MPs now wants the government to stop saying "net zero" altogether. Should the climate movement let the phrase go, or will its opponents simply come for whatever replaces it?Christiana Figueres and Paul chat to Professor Phil Taylor, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bath and a member of the government's Net Zero Innovation Board. Phil grew up in a North East England still living with the fallout of its last industrial transition. He warns that the cheapest, easiest progress has already been made. And so far the households gaining the most from the energy transition are the ones who can afford the shift. So, with energy bills set to rise again, what happens when a shift sold as painless starts to hurt? And can politicians be honest about the costs and still win?Outrage + Optimism will be live at Bath Abbey on 14 October, after this summer's extreme heat forced the original event to be cancelled.

In these clips, we turned our noses up at food, there was a lot of partying going on, and we were mesmerised by an MPs 'do.

Labour conference is over and the opposition parties are already on the attack – despite a ringing endorsement from Oasis' Liam Gallagher. As the Conservatives head to Birmingham, Kemi Badenoch has branded the Prime Minister's plans as “Corbynism with better packaging.” Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy ask whether the Tories are embracing a more aggressive style of politics – in stark contrast to Burnham's call for a more consensual approach. Elsewhere, Europe is back at the centre of the debate, but what are they realistic options on the table? Plus, is the PM starting to wind up MPs outside mayoral regions with his targeted plans?

My guest today is Taj Uppal, an animal rights activist and lawyer. We recorded this conversation while Taj was facing two felony charges and more than six years in prison for rescuing two baby goats from an industrial dairy farm in California. Since recording, a judge has reduced those charges to misdemeanours. The case is not over, but the most serious threat discussed in the episode has now been removed, which is great news. Nonetheless the consequences for Taj have been substantial, including losing a job offer at a major law firm and potentially putting his legal career at risk. In this episode, we have a pretty personal and reflective conversation about civil disobedience and open rescue and the role these tactics have in helping animals. Taj explains why he no longer sees direct action as a silver bullet, but still believes that the sacrifice it involves can generate dialogue, give activists credibility and be a deeply transformative, even spiritual, experience.We also discuss when civil disobedience is most likely to work, why it should often come after other campaigning methods have been exhausted and the legal, practical and community infrastructure needed to support people taking these risks. We even reverse the interview for a while, with Taj asking me about my own experiences with Extinction Rebellion and Animal Rebellion. This is a topic very close to my background, so I really enjoyed having this conversation with Taj, and thought it was a pretty interesting and even coverage of some of the benefits and risks of taking more high-risk action.A quick plug, unrelated to this great conversation with Taj: A group I volunteer with, UK Voters for Animals, is hosting a mass lobby day on the 10th of November, where we're bringing over 100 people to Parliament to meet their MPs about ending frankenchickens, which is a cruel fast-growing breed of chicken. We had over 100 people come last year, with 30 meetings with MPs, which was a huge success for the first-ever mass lobby day for animals. This year, we want it to be even bigger, so if you're in the UK and want to come along, you can sign up here.Chapters:(00:00:00) Introduction(00:08:24) Facing trial for open rescue(00:10:19) The other personal impacts of rescue(00:17:39) Why this farm?

The centre-right bloc is at odds over voting strategies. Christopher Luxon and former leader John Key implored voters at National's campaign launch to simply party vote National and ignore any call for strategic voting. The strategy is aimed at creating an overhang and maximising the number of aligned MPs in Parliament. Key told Kerre Woodham for the Coalition, it would result in a lot more ACT and NZ First ministers, trading talented National ministers like Nicola Willis, Chris Bishop, or Paul Goldsmith for people voters have potentially never heard of and don't want. He says if you broadly want a National Government, then vote for what you want instead of potentially ending up with buyer's remorse.

National is facing an internal battle over how best to return a centre-right government under MMP. Former Cabinet Minister Maurice Williamson argues that with National polling around 30% while holding a large number of electorate seats, extra party votes for National will not produce extra MPs. He suggests National voters strategically give their party vote to ACT or New Zealand First to maximize the right-wing seat count. However, party heavyweights John Key and Chris Bishop reject the strategy, urging voters to stick to two ticks for National to ensure a stable government. Meanwhile, polling scenarios from the Sensible Sentencing Trust suggest a small 3% shift in party votes could materially alter the election outcome. Duncan Garner breaks down the parliamentary arithmetic, evaluates Labour and National's campaign launches, and sits down with Maurice Williamson to debate the numbers.

Last weekend, India hosted the 20th iteration of the BRICS summit with the theme being 'Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability'. Producer Ella Hosty-Snelgrove gives us the rundown for what this summit entails, particularly with rising global tensions. Following our endangered swift parrots from last week, we talk to MP for Drummoyne Stephanie Di Pasqua to see what local MPs are doing to preserve our local wildlife and what the future rezoning might look like. Ever saw a world record and thought "I could do that"? Well, we hear it directly from local band Fathom as they attempt the world record for most gigs played in 12 hours - and for a good cause. Finally, AI. Yeah, it's everywhere and now UNSW and USYD have revealed major partnerships with AI groups. Producer Euan Kelly exactly why this is making headlines and the impact is has had on university staff. This episode of Backchat was hosted by Pongyada Sootthipong and James de Fraine-Murphy. Produced by Ella Hosty-Snelgrove, Birdie Rinaldi, Euan Kielly and Maya Sathi. Aired 19 September 2026 on Gadigal land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Grand Court jury is expected to hear allegations of payroll fraud involving the Department of Environmental Health; The National Coalition for Cayman's Administration hopes MPs will support moves to modernise and bolster the 2015 Whistleblower Protection Act;  the new chair of the Human Rights Commission says the country needs a new prison.

The defence in the manslaughter trial of Dr Paul Taiganides has received support from a medical expert who says the patient at the centre of the case could not have survived his injuries; Changes are on the way for the Cayman Islands Development Bank; and it's a slammed agenda when MPs meet on September 30th.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 25 Settembre 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali e internazionali.Fisco e Manovra: il nodo della concentrazione dell'IRPEFTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / la Repubblica / Domani / Il MessaggeroIl dato fiscale più significativo riguarda la forte concentrazione del gettito IRPEF.Secondo Il Sole 24 Ore, circa il 30% dei contribuenti versa quasi il 79% dell'IRPEF.Il Corriere della Sera, utilizzando una diversa aggregazione statistica, evidenzia invece che circa 25 milioni di italiani non versano IRPEF e che il 19% dei contribuenti sostiene circa il 65% dell'imposta.La Stampa completa il quadro indicando che circa la metà dei contribuenti paga appena il 5% dell'IRPEF.Le percentuali fanno riferimento a platee e fasce differenti, ma convergono nell'indicare una base imponibile effettiva fortemente concentrata.Sul tavolo della manovra prende forma l'ipotesi di ridurre al 33% l'aliquota per i redditi fino a 60.000 euro, insieme a una possibile flat tax sugli incrementi retributivi dei giovani.Tra le altre misure allo studio figura una cedolare secca per le locazioni dei negozi e ulteriori interventi rivolti al ceto medio.Si tratta ancora di ipotesi e non di norme definitive.La Ragioneria dello Stato avrebbe inoltre frenato sulle nuove ipotesi di pensionamento anticipato a causa del problema delle coperture.Lo spazio disponibile per la manovra rimane quindi limitato: qualsiasi riduzione strutturale delle entrate deve confrontarsi con la rigidità della spesa pubblica.Redditi ed evasione: il problema dell'equilibrio fiscaleTestate: la Repubblica / principali testate economicheNel dibattito fiscale entra anche il tema dell'impatto dell'evasione sulle generazioni più giovani.Repubblica richiama l'attenzione sulle differenze di trattamento tra lavoro dipendente e alcune categorie di lavoro autonomo.La questione assume una dimensione economica più ampia: un sistema fiscale percepito come squilibrato può incidere negativamente sugli incentivi al lavoro, sulla crescita delle retribuzioni e sulla mobilità professionale.Un eventuale pacchetto fiscale concentrato sulla riduzione del cuneo e sull'aumento dei redditi disponibili potrebbe invece sostenere consumi, risparmio e domanda interna.La variabile decisiva rimane però la sostenibilità delle coperture finanziarie.Diesel e logistica: un nuovo rischio inflazionisticoTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Milano Finanza / Financial Times / la RepubblicaUna possibile restrizione delle esportazioni statunitensi di diesel rappresenta uno dei principali rischi energetici della giornata.Il diesel proveniente dagli Stati Uniti può coprire circa il 10% del fabbisogno europeo.Un'interruzione o una riduzione significativa delle forniture avrebbe quindi conseguenze immediate sui prezzi, sulla raffinazione e sulla logistica europea.Anche il Financial Times segnala le pressioni dell'industria petrolifera americana contro eventuali limitazioni alle esportazioni.Gli effetti cominciano già a emergere a valle: in alcune filiere il costo necessario per portare i prodotti alimentari sugli scaffali sarebbe aumentato fino al 15%.È un passaggio particolarmente importante perché mostra il meccanismo attraverso cui uno shock energetico può trasformarsi in inflazione dei beni tramite l'aumento dei costi di trasporto.Rimane inoltre la vulnerabilità italiana rispetto allo Stretto di Hormuz e, più in generale, alla concentrazione geografica delle fonti di approvvigionamento.Diversificazione delle forniture, infrastrutture energetiche, efficienza e nuova capacità produttiva assumono quindi un valore contemporaneamente strategico e industriale.Banche: il risiko europeo entra in una fase più concretaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / Corriere della Sera / la Repubblica / La Stampa / Italia Oggi / QNSul fronte UniCredit-Commerzbank, Bettina Orlopp apre alla possibilità di un confronto, pur ribadendo l'obiettivo dell'indipendenza di Commerzbank.Tra le ipotesi discusse compare una fusione inversa tra HVB e Commerzbank, che consentirebbe di utilizzare la controllata tedesca di UniCredit come veicolo dell'operazione.La stampa italiana descrive però la trattativa ancora in una “fase zero”, quindi lontana da un accordo definito.Parallelamente continua il riassetto del sistema bancario italiano.Gli azionisti di MPS sono chiamati a esprimersi sulle operazioni che coinvolgono Mediobanca.Viene inoltre segnalata l'ipotesi di una possibile iniziativa congiunta UniCredit-Crédit Agricole su Banco BPM.Mediobanca procede intanto con una cartolarizzazione da 650 milioni di euro, segnale di una gestione attiva del capitale e degli attivi bancari.Frodi digitali e tokenizzazione: cambia il rischio bancarioTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / Italia OggiAccanto al consolidamento bancario cresce il peso della sicurezza digitale.Le frodi digitali considerate nell'analisi del settore vengono quantificate in 269 milioni di euro.Il Corriere racconta inoltre una sofisticata frode attraverso un falso WhatsApp che avrebbe provocato un ammanco di 36 milioni di euro, collegato all'ex vertice di Fideuram.Nel Regno Unito alcune banche stanno contemporaneamente sperimentando lo scambio di depositi tokenizzati.In Europa aumenta anche l'attenzione sul quadro normativo delle cripto-attività e sull'applicazione del regolamento MiCA.Cybersecurity, identità digitale, tokenizzazione e fiducia del cliente diventano quindi elementi sempre più rilevanti anche dal punto di vista economico, e non soltanto tecnologico.Bond e tassi: il 5% torna al centro dei mercatiTestate: Milano Finanza / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Financial Times / Il Sole 24 OreLa pressione sui titoli di Stato rimane elevata.Il rendimento del Treasury USA decennale raggiunge il 5,12%.Piazza Affari chiude contemporaneamente in calo di circa 0,8%, in una seduta condizionata da petrolio, geopolitica e aumento dei rendimenti.Anche i BTP registrano nuove pressioni sui rendimenti.Per gli investitori obbligazionari lo scenario presenta due effetti opposti: l'aumento dei tassi penalizza le quotazioni dei titoli a lunga duration già presenti in portafoglio, ma rende progressivamente più interessante l'impiego di nuova liquidità a rendimenti nominali superiori.La BCE vede inoltre l'inflazione significativamente sopra il 2% fino alla metà del 2027, riducendo le aspettative di un rapido ritorno a tassi molto bassi.Negli Stati Uniti i mutui trentennali superano il 7%, con conseguenze potenziali sull'immobiliare residenziale, sui consumi e sulla capacità di rifinanziamento delle famiglie.A Francoforte si apre anche un tema di governance: Isabel Schnabel lascia la BCE per il Fondo Monetario Internazionale, mentre comincia il dibattito sulla futura successione di Christine Lagarde.Imprese italiane: fintech, welfare e nuovi capitaliTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere Torino / Milano Finanza / MediaKey / FocusMO / Il BielleseDal welfare aziendale arriva uno dei segnali più interessanti della giornata.La fintech italiana Tundr ha chiuso un Series A da 11,6 milioni di euro, con investitori tra cui CDP Venture Capital, 360 Capital e Azimut.La società dichiara una crescita di circa +200% annuo per tre anni.Tundr gestisce attualmente i benefit di circa 2.000 aziende e oltre 100.000 dipendenti.Nel capitale figurano anche Crédit Agricole Italia, Kairos Partners e Sella Direct Ventures.L'operazione mostra una crescente integrazione tra welfare aziendale, payroll, banche, assicurazioni e piattaforme digitali.Sul fronte del social housing, il FEI investe inoltre 50 milioni di euro nel fondo Pitagora.

BAFTA winning writer, and pop culture afficionado, Jack Rooke joins Annie to discuss the week in music.

In this episode, we discuss how the summer-long fuel shortages could impact Iraq's political scene following this week's disastrous performance by the Minister of Oil in parliament where he failed to provide a convincing explanation for why oil-rich Iraq experienced a fuel crisis. We examine how mismanagement and poor strategic planning contributed to the crisis and why MPs may now be emboldened to pursue a no-confidence motion against the minister. We also consider how such a move could further complicate ongoing negotiations to fill the remaining vacant cabinet seats.

Ed Sheeran is crying on stage after the backlash over Macklemore being dropped from his tour, while Macklemore remains remarkably clear that this isn't about him, or Ed. Marina and Jemma get into the row, the strange spectacle of a global superstar discovering the politics of Palestine in real time, and why having “FU money” might occasionally mean having the courage to say - no.Then there's the rather extraordinary case of former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joining Palantir, the controversial US data company with major contracts across the British state. From fighting phone hacking and defending democracy to working for a company critics have accused of undermining it: what on earth happened there?We also get into the eternal question of who should pay for a country that needs more money: capital gains, wealth, land and the extraordinary phenomenon of people with hundreds of millions still insisting they're being squeezed.Plus: the MPs apparently tackling the national emergency of our Eurovision entries, the wonderful late Bonnie Greer, Nigel Farage getting exactly the interview he deserves, and Andrew Tate discovering that prison guards may not be his biggest fans.And, as ever, some pudding to see you into the weekend.Join The Trawl's Facebook BRAND NEW Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61590931382660Get your tickets for The Trawl Live from https://thetrawl.tix.to/ticketsThank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Lindsay explains that protein recommendations swing widely and argues intake should be based on context: goals, resistance training, body composition, and whether someone is eating at maintenance or in a calorie deficit. She emphasizes that calorie restriction can suppress muscle protein synthesis, making higher protein and resistance training especially important during fat loss phases, citing recommendations for lean, trained individuals in aggressive cuts and explaining why protein targets may rise as deficits become more severe.Topics discussed:(00:00) - Protein Debate Begins (01:51) - RDA vs Training Goals (03:44) - Protein for Aging Strong (05:13) - ISSN Guidelines and Context (06:23) - Where 0.7 Comes From (07:44) - Why Some Need More (09:41) - High Protein at Maintenance (10:33) - Mindful Eating App Plug (12:54) - Deficit Changes Everything (14:43) - Muscle Biology in a Cut (17:33) - Higher Targets for Lean Lifters (21:03) - Practical Protein Examples (23:34) - Lifestyle and Cut Cycles (26:16) - Wrap Up and Takeaways Connect With LindsayInstagram: @liftinglindsayJoin the BeStrong Community for science based training, nutrition education, coaching, live calls, and a supportive community of women who want to get stronger, build muscle, and improve their health.Learn more at liftinglindsay.comReady To Train With Us?If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to experience this style of training for yourself, it's not too late to join us inside the BeStrong app.Our newest hypertrophy phase has already begun, but you're absolutely not behind.This training block focuses on:✔ Lengthened position training✔ Strategic pauses and isometrics✔ Improving muscle tension✔ Building strength and muscle with intentional execution✔ Learning how to make the target muscle do more of the workYou'll get access to the complete training program, exercise video demonstrations, nutrition guidance, live coaching calls, and a community of women committed to getting stronger together.Join us HEREStudies & ReferencesMorton RW, et al.

1642 HOUSES DURING CHARLES IRoyal Arrest Attempt Triggers English WarJonathan Healey, Part Two: On January 4, 1642, King Charles I attempted to arrest five MPs and Lord Mandeville for treason. Pushed by Queen Henrietta Maria, Charles personally entered the House of Commons with armed cavaliers. However, Lady Carlisle had leaked the plot, enabling the members to escape by boat down the Thames into London. Hostile crowds surrounded Charles's coach, throwing pamphlets with the biblical call "To your tents, O Israel." Fearing for their safety, Charles and Henrietta Maria fled Whitehall for Hampton Court. The Queen departed for continental Europe to raise funds and troops, while Charles established a royalist court in York. Parliament passed the radical Militia Ordinance without royal assent, claiming sovereign control over the military. When the governor of Hull barred Charles from accessing his armory, both sides began mobilizing armed forces, plunging England into civil war. (2)

Parliament returns today from summer recess, amid ongoing economic uncertainty and an unresolved trade war with the U.S. Prime Minister Mark Carney told MPs on Friday that this will be "a crucial session of the House of Commons" and vowed to introduce "some of the most consequential legislation not just of this government, but in decades." CBC's Chief Political Correspondent Rosie Barton joins us to talk about what we can expect in this session of Parliament, and Carney's balancing act for his ambitious agenda.

He was the doctor who almost got Joe Rogan cancelled. The controversy he roiled on Rogan brought the show some its highest ever ratings. So you might have been among the 40 million who caught Dr. Peter McCullough on Rogan where he spoke out against the COVID vaccine near the start of the pandemic. He was accused of undermining public health efforts and spreading misinformation.And last week Dr. McCullough was on Parliament Hill. But chances are you didn't hear about that appearance. Most of the mainstream media, and nearly all the nation's MPs, took a pass on attending the Allison Inquiry into injuries sustained by Canadians from the vaccine.Dr. McCullough joins us today. But he's not here to debate his opinion on the science of vaccines.  Instead we wanted to discuss his experience at the centre of the Rogan controversy. We wanted to ask him whether people should be getting medical advice from shows like Rogan's.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Caribbean people know all too well that the story of migration doesn't end at the border. Dr. Tyesha Maddox, Associate Professor at Fordham University, joins us for a conversation about the history of Caribbean mutual aid societies and benevolent associations that help communities upon their arrival in the US. We dig into what mutual aid actually means in Caribbean migration history: not charity, not a top-down savior model, but an egalitarian system where members build solutions together. Dr. Maddox connects Caribbean American mutual aid societies in New York to earlier Caribbean friendly societies after emancipation and to West African traditions of collective care. We talk burial and funeral funds as a dignified corrective to slavery's violence, support during illness and injury that looks like early workers' comp, and even maternity benefits that were well ahead of their time. We also get into susu and padna style rotating savings, and why trust is the real currency behind these networks.Then we zoom out to the social and political power of these groups. They throw parties, organize trips, teach culture to children through auxiliaries, and help people become Caribbean in the diaspora, sometimes for the first time. We also place these organizations inside the New York landscape of Harlem, Garveyism, and Black political organizing, where Caribbean immigrants help shape the world many of us now take for granted. If you care about Caribbean diaspora community, Black history, New York history, or mutual aid today, this conversation offers a blueprint worth revisiting.

Her book, A Home Away from Home: Mutual Aid, Political Activism, and Caribbean American Identity (Penn Press, 2024) examines the significance of early twentieth century Anglophone Caribbean immigrant mutual aid societies and benevolent associations in New York City.

Farmers have been assessing the damage done by the summer's severe drought, but it's not just low crop yields they've had to face. Woodlands have also suffered, especially younger trees which haven't had time to get fully established, which can take up to five years. In 2024-25 just over 10 million individual trees were planted in England. How many of those have died? And what can farmers do if they've planted trees using grant money but now have thousands of dead saplings on their land? We speak to The Woodland Trust.The government's holding a wildfire summit next month - and MPs have been questioning ministers about how they handled wildfires over the summer and whether England was fully prepared to tackle them. On the day that the first Scottish Licences for burning moorland were open for applications, the Environment Food and Rural Affairs committee also discussed reducing fuel load on hillsides in England.We all like to get a bargain, and it's often the case that the bigger you are as a buyer, the more likely you are to find one. It's the same for farmers, and many have joined buying groups to source everything from seed, fertiliser, fuel and chemicals right down to mobile phones and stationery. All week we're looking at agricultural cooperatives, today it's a big one in Lincolnshire.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Today, MPs have voted against a fresh move to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales. The bill would have allowed adults with fewer than six months to live to apply to be given help to end their life.It followed hours of debate and the result was close with 286 against and 270 in favour. Adam is joined by Ailbhe Rea, Political Editor of the New Statesman and Lara Spirit, Deputy Political editor of the Sunday Times to unpack the politics of the result and to reflect on the other big events in Westminster this week.

Alicia McCarthy reports as MPs question the Transport Minister about recent flight disruption.

Keir Starmer resigns as MP, bringing an extraordinary political career to a rather abrupt close. After becoming Labour leader in 2020, winning a huge Commons majority in the 2024 UK general election, becoming Prime Minister and then leaving Downing Street in July 2026, Sir Keir has now decided to leave Parliament as well. So the question rather writes itself: was Keir Starmer Britain's worst ever Prime Minister?That is the deliberately provocative question Mark and Pete tackle in this episode. Starmer was spectacularly successful at getting Labour into power. He took a party flattened in 2019 and, five years later, put it back in government with 411 MPs. You cannot really call that political incompetence. Yet that 411-seat victory came on only about 34 per cent of the national vote, an enormous parliamentary majority resting on a rather less enormous popular mandate.What happened afterwards, though, is rather more awkward. A premiership of barely two years, collapsing public enthusiasm, internal Labour rebellions, difficult economic choices and, eventually, Andy Burnham taking over as Prime Minister.And then there were the U-turns. Oh, the U-turns.Winter fuel payments. Welfare reform. The grooming gangs inquiry. Digital ID. Earlier promises on tuition fees and green investment. Positions announced firmly, defended firmly and, sometimes with impressive speed, replaced by another firm position. Starmer's critics came to argue that the problem was not simply that he changed his mind. Governments have to do that occasionally. It was that voters increasingly struggled to work out what the underlying Starmer position actually was.Now comes perhaps the neatest turn of all. After indicating that he intended to remain in Parliament until the next general election, Starmer has resigned as MP for Holborn and St Pancras. The seat he first won in 2015 will now face a by-election, with Green leader Zack Polanski already saying he intends to stand.So what exactly is the Starmer legacy? A highly effective Leader of the Opposition who turned out to be a poor Prime Minister? A decent man trapped by events and impossible expectations? Or the political embodiment of managerial Britain, endlessly reviewing, consulting, recalibrating and then discovering that somebody else has acquired the keys to Number 10?Mark and Pete react to Starmer's resignation, revisit some of his most memorable political reversals, assess Labour under Andy Burnham, and ask where Sir Keir sits among Britain's shortest and least successful premierships.Was he really Britain's worst ever Prime Minister?Liz Truss may reasonably request the right of reply.Politics, power, promises and the peculiar speed with which yesterday's landslide can become today's footnote. Psalm 146 offers an older warning: “Put not your trust in princes.” Westminster continues to provide the illustrations.

Today, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has told Parliament the UK would ban the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.In the speech, he said the UK government "agrees" there is ethnic cleansing in areas of the West Bank, and that the Israeli government is turning a “blind eye”. Israel has responded by closing the British consulate in Jerusalem and banning 11 left-wing MPs from entering the country.How much is this a change in UK policy toward Israel? Adam and Chris discuss with BBC international editor Jeremy Bowen.Plus, a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan say the couple were surprised to see a letter sent on behalf of King Charles clarifying they remained non-working royals after moving back to the UK.
