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 IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The library is more than just books, and our Books and Beyond series with Milwaukee Public Library showcases just that. We share resources, book recommendations, and some cool stuff you might not know about. For this edition of Books and Beyond, we're learning about an early literacy program called ABC Academy offered at the Central Library Branch. This program hopes to help fill Milwaukee's literacy gap. Since 2009, our public-school literacy rates have fallen, and just this year MPS launched a new plan to try to turn these rates around. The library's ABC Academy program is for young readers to help with kindergarten readiness. The program goes beyond your typical story time and focuses on different activities to help build on letter recognition.  To share more, Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski is joined by Central Library children's room librarian Erin Sloan and Milwaukee artist Wave Chapelle – who's here today as a dad helping his son learn to read.  

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.

When it comes to keeping our homes warm nearly all of us rely on just a handful of big energy suppliers. And during the winter, especially with the cold temperatures, we rely on those suppliers to do their job. When they don't customers can firstly complain to their supplier but, if they're still not happy, they can take their complaint to something called the Energy Ombudsman. It's a free, impartial service and gets thousands of complaints every year. In most cases, when the ombudsman makes a decision, that decision is followed to the letter, quickly, by suppliers. But in some cases that doesn't happen - we investigate one listener's battle over a £1,700 bill.HMRC has told MPs it's going to take more care in how it handles its effort to crack down on fraud and error, after a mistake which led to thousands of families wrongly losing their Child Benefit.It was the Scottish government's Budget this week and there were quite a few changes promised for people's pockets, we'll round up the details.And, there's a huge amount to think about when buying a home, from sorting the mortgage to getting quotes for removal companies, but one thing you might not be expecting is that your new home might come with rules telling you what you can and cannot do with it.

Alicia McCarthy reports as MPs confront the company which has left thousands of civil service pensioners without income.

Politics used to be a battle over competing ideas, but now it's become a very real fight “between identities”: that's according to Valentina Grippo, an Italian Member of Parliament and delegate to the UN-affiliated Inter-Parliamentary Union, or IPU, which met at UN Headquarters this week in New York.  A majority of MPs worldwide are facing threats and abuse from voters, according to a new IPU report which found that 71 per cent of surveyed lawmakers experienced violence from the public – whether offline, online or both. Speaking to Edouard de Bray of UN News Ms. Grippo stressed that rising polarisation and online disinformation are fuelling violence against politicians and undermining democratic debate worldwide.

Elizabeth Anderson, CEO of the Digital Poverty Alliance, discusses how the UK's move towards a digital‑first media landscape could affect viewers and listeners. We explore what is meant by digital poverty in the UK today, the startling numbers affected, and what the impact could be if traditional broadcast TV (including Freeview) is switched off around 2034 – and how that might affect radio too. What could this mean for access to news, information and entertainment?We examine the relationship between internet connectivity, affordability and basic digital skills – and how that shapes the debate on different options for funding the BBC, and its claim to be a universal public service broadcaster in an online‑only world. We also consider the role of MPs, government and industry in developing a serious digital inclusion strategy and ensuring people are not left behind.Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatch To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @beebwatch.bsky.social@BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Hosted on Acast.

DO MPs REALLY WORK FOR US – OR JUST THEMSELVES?  #PMQs #KeirStarmer #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  PMQs today wasn't politics — it was a slanging match in a circus. While millions are skint, scared, and angry, MPs were back in their natural habitat: shouting, sneering and doing absolutely nothing useful.  No serious focus on the cost-of-living crisis. No urgency on public safety. No answers people can actually use.  Instead, in the Commons, Kemi Badenoch accused the Prime Minister of "stuffing government with paedophile apologists" And what did the country get in response from Starmer? Evasion. Silence. Lawyer's answers to moral questions.  This is why trust in politics is dead. This is why people feel unrepresented. And this is why voters increasingly believe MPs are in it for themselves — not the people who pay their wages. Tonight we ask the question MPs hate: Do they work for us — or are they just feeding at the trough? Live. Interactive. No manners. No mercy.  #PMQs #KeirStarmer #KemiBadenoch #Labour #Conservatives #Westminster #UKPolitics #CostOfLivingCrisis #PublicSafety #PoliticalElites #SnoutsInTheTrough #MPs #BrokenPolitics #Establishment #Parliament #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV PMQs,  Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch, Labour, Conservatives, Westminster, UK politics, cost of living crisis, public safety, political elites, snouts in the trough, MPs, broken politics, establishment, Parliament, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.

Mark Levy has rejected calls for an inquiry into NSW Police conduct, arguing that officers deserve "unmitigated support" following Monday night’s clashes. Levy slammed "rebel" MPs for criticising the force, maintaining that the police showed restraint against an "angry mob" and that the right to protest does not grant a "right to anarchy."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings welcome Alexis Love to discuss her work in Career & Technical Education (CTE) at Minneapolis Public Schools and her vision for the future of public safety. Love shares how her background in law enforcement and ministry shaped her belief that public safety should center on servant leadership, empathy, and “noble character.” She outlines the wide range of CTE pathways available across MPS, from healthcare and public safety to skilled trades, IT, engineering, and media arts, preparing students for high-wage, high-skill, high-demand careers. The conversation also highlights student success stories, rising enrollment among girls, and how families can explore CTE programs that offer hands-on learning and even articulated college credit.

This wasn't leadership. This was pure self-preservation.  These morally bankrupt MPs weren't backing Starmer — they were backing their own snouts staying firmly in the trough. And while they clapped like trained seals, Starmer still hasn't delivered the documents he promised last week explaining how the vetting process cleared Mandelson. Who approved it? How? On what grounds? Silence. Now ministers are being warned not to "do a Wes Streeting" — no more cosy texts, no more receipts, no more evidence. Keep it quiet. Keep it buried. Nothing to see here. It stinks. And it stinks of a cover-up. By circling the wagons, they've sealed their own fate. The public won't forget — and they'll get the chance to say so very soon, starting with the Manchester by-election and rolling straight into the Spring council elections. Saved for now. Judged later. #Starmer #Labour #KeirStarmer #Mandelson #LabourParty #UKPolitics #PoliticalCoverUp #ByElection #Manchester #SpringElections #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #LivePolitics #YouTubeLive #BreakingPolitics  Starmer, Labour, Keir Starmer, Mandelson, Labour Party, UK politics, political cover up, by election, Manchester, spring elections, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, live, live politics, YouTube live, breaking politics,  This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Alicia McCarthy reports from Westminster as MPs demand answers about the UK's multi-million pound defence deal with the US tech giant, Palantir.

Today we'll be talking about a massive case involving 44 former MPs linked to violations of lese-majeste laws, student protests erupting over vote-count transparency issues, and a little later a whole slew of classic Thaiger tales of foreigners getting up to some crazy antics around Thailand.

The Prime Minister may have won himself a reprieve after the departure of two of his top advisers, but many MPs will be looking for a radical reset of his government in order to maintain their support. But the fallout continued as two Labour figures were suspended for their association not with Jeffrey Epstein, but with a different sex offender. Also on the programme: The founder of independent Russian news organisation Meduza on the impact of new restrictions on the messaging app Telegram.And we speak to one of the Danes covering up statues of naked women with knitwear.

Listen to what Labour ministers and MPs are saying about their colleagues in a week of chaos in Westminster. The prime minister thought it was all over for him this weekend, but a scrambled rearguard action has left him looking stronger than he has for some time. But to survive, Keir Starmer may now have no choice but to move leftwards. And there's much worse to come when the Mandelson files are released. Meanwhile, has Wes Streeting missed his moment to challenge the prime minister?

Today, Keir Starmer has addressed his MPs and seems to have rallied some support after Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar called for him to quit.In a press conference in Glasgow, Sarwar emphasised his concerns for Scotland ahead of the May elections, and told reporters “the leadership in Downing Street has to change". The move prompted statements supporting the prime minister from cabinet ministers and other key labour figures including potential rivals Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting.The PM has been facing mounting pressure in recent days with two of his top aides Tim Allen and Morgan McSweeney resigning following the aftermath of revelations about the appointment of former US ambassador Peter Mandelson. James and Alex are in for Adam to talk through what it all mean.You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Newscast”.

Sir Keir Starmer has told his MPs that he will not quit after the leader of his party in Scotland called on him to resign. We hear from two Labour backbenchers about the future of the party's leadership.Also on the programme: Buckingham Palace has released a statement saying it is ready to support the police as they consider allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. And we travel to a field in south-west London to kick off our series about how interacting with the natural world affects our mental health.

What would happen if Keir Starmer were incapacitated? Who would be acting prime minister - David Lammy, Lucy Powell, or someone else entirely? And how does scandals and replacing cabinet ministers work with no clear line of succession? Ed and George debate the uncertainties of the parliamentary system in this week's EMQs. They also look at the burgeoning crisis around student loan repayments, reflecting on their own roles in governments that helped get us here, and and on the consequences of successive governments ignoring an issue of such magnitude. A civil servant asks just what MPs mean when they talk about ‘civil service reform', and the reveal why ministers are always complaining about it. Finally, one of Ed's former students puts them to the test - why do new MPs not receive training on essential policy areas when they arrive in Westminster. They use the experience of new MP Jake Richards and compare it to their own from 20 years ago.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.

Electronic Collars are to be banned under new rules for the RSPCA's Assured scheme for dairy cows. The collars are used instead of fencing, and make noise and then deliver a small electric shock to the cow if she goes outside the prescribed area. In April the RSPCA is also introducing other changes: a requirement for more access to pasture, a minimum of 120 days a year; changes to rules around transport of pregnant cows; and use of RSPCA Assured slaughter houses. A new report published by the think tank The Resolution Foundation says the government's goal of 'net zero' across the UK, could force less proftable farms into debt, and lead to 3,500 farms losing money. It says progress to remove the carbon from farming has been slow and advises that policy makers should intervene to ensure costs are passed to the consumer.MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee are calling on the Government to have a ‘national conversation' on the new EU/UK agri-food trade agreement, so farmers don't end up disadvantaged. All this week, we've been talking about starting out in farming. The cost of land and the price of renting makes it difficult for those who're not from a farming family. One young couple have realised their dream by leaving behind their city lives in York and moving hundreds of miles to Scotland, to a croft in the Western Isles.We meet a farmer who has gone back to her family farming roots in Norfolk.

The sun is setting on Keir Starmer's worst week in No. 10 – but potentially Kemi's best. We go into the weekend with MPs publicly calling for his most senior aide, Morgan McSweeney, to step down because of his role in the botched vetting of Peter Mandelson, and with huge questions remaining about how much the Prime Minister knew about Mandelson's association with Epstein. All of this means that the upcoming by-election on the Labour party's patch in Gorton and Denton is poised very precariously.Meanwhile, Kemi has seized the opportunity to capitalise on Labour's woes – but are she cutting through enough? And with her position looking more assured, and fiscal responsibility as their rallying cry, could it nearly be over for her shadow chancellor, Mel Stride?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Keir Starmer's days as prime minister are numbered, Labour MPs have warned, after a week of fury over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador despite his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. While several MPs have said the prime minister's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, should take responsibility and resign, the mood surrounding No 10 has seemed ‘terminal', said an MP from the 2024 intake.

Who pays the highest price when respect is missing? That's the inadvertent theme for Hannah and Mick as they tackle this week's news. And it turns out there are plenty of people they'd both like to see with an unexploded WWI ordnance shoved where the sun don't shine, including a lot of men in the Epstein Files, and a fair few MPs and Lords keen to get a dangerously faulty car on the road without an MOT.

MPs are calling on the Government to have a ‘national conversation' on the new EU/UK agri-food trade agreement, so farmers don't end up disadvantaged. The new trade agreement is expected to come into place by 2027. But there are concerns the deal will bring the need for re-alignment of rules, as since Brexit the UK has diverged on things like animal welfare, gene editing and pesticide regulation. The Environment Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee is warning the Government must seek ‘carve outs' or exemptions on alignment to "avoid unnecessary burdens and undercutting of farmers".Human health scientists have been working with plant scientists to discover, for the first time, how a plant passes down information to the seeds it's developing. Researchers at the John Innes Centre and The Earlham Institute in Norwich, say 'mother' plants use hormonal messaging to prime their seeds for the climate and nutrient environment they're likely to face when they germinate. All week we're talking to people starting out in agriculture. Even if you grow up on a family farm, it can be a good idea to go and try working somewhere else, to broaden your skills. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

A protestor's speech, a scuffle, and a few scathing comments. The coalition leaders were heckled at Waitangi today as they made their election-year pitches - but it wasn't smooth-sailing for the opposition either. MPs were formally welcomed to the Treaty Grounds on the eve of the national day - the prime minister making his return after skipping last year. Craig McCulloch reports.

How could England be ruled when the king was just a baby? When Henry VI came to the throne at nine months old, the hunger for power among his Plantagenet uncles spilled into violence. 600 years ago, in February 1426, parliament even moved to Leicester to avoid mob violence in London. Even so, MPs armed themselves with wooden bats and clubs.
