MPs have collectively earned millions of pounds from side hustles in the last few years. From the ‘cash for access' scandal to the resignation of Owen Paterson, the public is fascinated by extra work carried out by politicians. But how much does this impact their day jobs?  Marie Le Conte sits down with Dr. Simon Weschle, assistant professor in the political science department at Syracuse University, to find out if second jobs truly are the scourge of British politics.  “Having a second job means MPs are more likely to attend the commons.”  “An MP working as a dentist doesn't change their voting behaviour.“ "If an MP has a city job they spend more time in London but they're less often in their constituency."  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Marie Le Conte.

How much does your MP earn, on top of their salary, and where does the money come from?For years, many stories have come out of Westminster that have seen MPs wrestling with money - the expenses scandal, cash for questions, the Owen Paterson saga - and time after time, politicians have promised to make changes.But a Sky News investigation with Tortoise Media has pulled together the details of the money that is still flowing around politics, with MPs making £17.1m on top of their salaries in this parliament (i.e. since 2019). Around two-thirds of that money has gone to just 20 MPs.On this edition of the Sophy Ridge on Sunday podcast, our deputy political editor Sam Coates joins Sophy and show editor Scott Beasley to talk through the Westminster Accounts project, and why it matters.Elsewhere, with Labour continuing to hold a lead in the polls, the party's leader Sir Keir Starmer sits down with Sophy for his first big interview of 2023, outlining his plans for the country, should he win the next election.Plus, both he and Health Minister, Maria Caulfield, give their first responses to the Westminster Accounts project.You can search The Westminster Accounts for your MP by clicking here.Producer: David ChipakupakuEditor: Paul Stanworth

Simon and Matt welcome the former Whitehall Editor of the FT (now Director of the Think Tank, Onward), Sebastian Payne, to discuss his book 'The Fall Of Boris Johnson' We recorded this one quite late at night in a bar, so you'll also get to enjoy some thumpin' tunes in the background too, mixed in with a bit of Simon's cough, A delightful cacophony we think you'll agree!Sebastian talks about the 'three Ps' in his book (Patterson, Pincher and Partygate). as well as how well respected Johnson is in Ukraine, his obsession with Churchill and what he had to leave out of the book. We also have some of your correspondence and book reviews. (remember, you can get in touch at any time: booksoftheyear@yahoo.com) Here comes the science bit:The Fall of Boris Johnson is the explosive inside account of how a prime minister lost his hold on power.Boris Johnson was touted as the saviour of the country and the Conservative Party, obtaining a huge commons majority and finally getting Brexit done. But within three short years, he was deposed in disgrace, leaving the country in crisis.Sebastian Payne, Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times, tells the essential behind-the-scenes story, charting the series of scandals that felled Johnson: from the blocked suspension of Owen Paterson to partygate, and, then the final death blow: the Chris Pincher allegations. This is the full narrative of the betrayals, rivalries and resignations that resulted in the dramatic Conservative coup and set in motion events that saw the party sink to catastrophic new lows.With unparalleled access to those who were in the room when key decisions were made, Payne tells of the miscalculations and mistakes that led to Boris's downfall. This is a gripping and timely look at how power is gained, wielded and lost in Britain today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Après le Brexit, le Boxit. Jeudi 7 juillet, le Premier ministre britannique Boris Johnson a annoncé sa démission. Pressé par les affaires et les départs en cascade de ministres, de secrétaires d'État et de membres de son cabinet (soixante-cinq départs en deux jours), acculé par les appels à la démission par les ministres qui restaient à leur poste, BoJo a donc cédé. Mais il reste pour l'instant Premier ministre jusqu'à ce que, dit-il, le processus de sélection de son successeur par le camp conservateur soit terminé. Les deux ans et demi de Boris Johnson à la tête du gouvernement ont été émaillés de très nombreux scandales: le «Partygate», en référence à ces fêtes organisées au 10 Downing Street pendant le confinement, le soutien à son ami Owen Paterson, lobbyiste à l'éthique douteuse, les 100.000 livres de travaux au 11 Downing Street, ses vacances gratuites sur l'île Moustique, dans les Caraïbes, et enfin la nomination de Chris Pincher au poste de Whip en chef adjoint, c'est-à-dire à la direction des députés conservateurs –le problème étant que Pincher est accusé de nombreuses agressions sexuelles, ce que BoJo n'ignorait pas, malgré ses démentis quand le scandale éclata. Mais les affaires ne sont qu'une partie des causes de la colère des Britanniques, car le pays connaît sa pire crise économique depuis les années 1950, avec une inflation record. Beaucoup semblent regretter ce Brexit dans lequel l'ancien maire de Londres les a entraînés. Un gâchis pour le Parti conservateur, qui avait remporté les élections générales haut la main en décembre 2019. Qu'est-ce qui a précipité la chute de ce Johnson qui semblait résister à tout? Et qui va le remplacer?

We look back on a tumultuous year in politics, from the Owen Paterson debacle to the endless Christmas party scandals, from the shame of Afghanistan to Lord Frost melting away. Has Boris Johnson's approach of muddling through at the last minute run out of road? And will he try to reassert control by amping up conflict with the EU? Plus what's coming in 2022, from the Levelling Up White Paper, to elections across the UK and especially Northern Ireland, to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. “In a matter of weeks Boris Johnson went from looking like nothing could stop him to a journalist asking if everything was OK.” – CATH HADDON “I wonder if the Christmas party stories would have been so big if the narrative hadn't already started to move against Johnson.” – ALEX THOMAS “Johnson has clearly alienated a huge tranche of his backbenchers… Johnson looks like a prisoner of his own party.” – JILL RUTTER “This is the end for the moment of the Johnson playbook of ‘never apologise, never explain'.” – ALEX THOMAS “We've seen repeated questioning of No.10's ability to handle crises – or just escalated them and make them worse than they ever were.” – CATH HADDON “If Johnson keeps asking his backbenchers to vote for things he himself then fails to support, that creates real focused anger on the backbenches.” – ALEX THOMAS Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon, Jill Rutter and Alex Thomas. Audio production by Alex Rees.

Peter Bone, Conservative MP for Wellingborough says if the U.K. government wants more Covid-19 curbs, it must make the case to MPs and let Parliament decide. But there is confidence in Boris Johnson. He tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Yuan Potts that losing the seat in North Shropshire was a reaction to the Owen Paterson scandal. Plus Dr. Louise Blair from Airfinity health analytics discusses omicron. And Bloomberg's James Woolcock explains the latest on 'partygate' and Liz Truss's new Brexit brief.

The Conservatives have lost the North Shropshire seat they held for nearly 200 years to the Liberal Democrats in a by-election triggered by the resignation of Owen Paterson. The former cabinet minister resigned in November after being found to have breached lobbying guidelines. Liberal Democrat Helen Morgan overturned his majority of almost 23,000 to win nearly six thousand votes more than the Conservative candidate. Conservative MPs Sir Roger Gale and Sir Charles Walker reflect on the party's loss with Today's Nick Robinson. Also on the programme was Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden.

SHORT SHARP SHROP: Christmas comes early as Johnson's Tories are utterly humiliated in the North Shropshire by-election, with the ignominious loss of a 23,000-vote majority in a Tory heartland – and the biggest swing to the Lib Dems since 1993. What brought about this debacle: sleaze, scandal, Christmas parties, Johnson selling out farmers, Owen Paterson's arrogance, or Johnson's own repellent personality? And did Labour play it right by not campaigning too hard? Ros, Naomi and Dorian gather for a nice hot glass of mulled schadenfreude. “This shows there isn't yet huge appetite for a Starmer government. What there is, is disgust at the Conservative government.” – Ros Taylor “Unlike Chesham and Amersham this wasn't Remainers' Revenge. This was very much a verdict on Johnson.” – Naomi Smith “The Paterson affair shows Johnson's fatal flaw: hubris. This will be his downfall.” – Ros Taylor Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ros Taylor. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Robin Leeburn.

Welcome to the special Christmas episode of The Edition!  In this episode, we look at five major topics that dominated the news this year and the pages of The Spectator.  First up a review of the year in politics with our resident Coffee House Shot's team James Forsyth, Katy Balls and Isabel Hardman. We discuss how Boris seemed to make such a strong start to the year through the vaccine rollout, but squandered this goodwill with several own goals. We also touch on some of the big political moments of the year: Partygate, the Owen Paterson affair and of course Matt Hancock. (00:39) Next, we go global and look at three of the major powerhouses that took headlines this year. The EU, who ends the year in a panic over Russia, extreme Covid measures, and upcoming elections. The US started with an insurrection and ended with President Biden's plummeting poll numbers. Finally, China, who if you ask them say they are doing just fine. Lara Prendergast is joined by Jonathan Miller, Douglas Murray, and Cindy Yu to discuss the state of the world. (22:34) Then, a subject we all hoped to be leaving in the rearview mirror. Covid. With so much misinformation out there, the one important thing to have is good data, which is why we built The Spectator's Covid data hub, and William Moore is joined on the podcast by three people who spend an ungodly amount of time going through those figures. The Spectator editor Fraser Nelson, Michael Simmons (who puts the data hub together and is making his podcast debut), and our economics editor Kate Andrews. (40:52) We chose our penultimate segment by looking back at all the most read articles of the year and chose the subject that appeared the most. The Royal Family won by a landslide, and it has been a big year for them. To break down the year's big Royal moments and try and figure out why we are so obsessed with this family, Lara Prendergast and William Moore sat down with Freddy Gray and Patrick Jephson. (59:37) And finally, The Edition's producer has given William Moore an early Christmas present. The Church of England is one of his favourite things to talk about, because of how important he thinks it is for our society, but also because of the many issues he has with how it is run. Will gets stuck into it with four amazing priests – Marcus Walker, Daniel French, Nicholas Cranfield, and Steve Morris – who see out the year by telling us their favourite Christmas carols.

This year, 30 thousand seasonal workers were allowed to the UK under a pilot scheme to pick fruit and veg. The National Farmers Union wants the scheme to be made permanent and the number of visas raised to at least 55,700. Meanwhile a Home Office Minister has told the EFRA Committee the Seasonal Workers Pilot scheme will be turned into a 3 year scheme with 30,000 visas available for next year and the year after, decreasing to 28,000 in the third year. He confirmed it would include visas for work in non-edible horticulture. North Shropshire has had Conservative MPs for the best part of 200 years - but the manner of Owen Paterson's recent departure means the outcome of tomorrow's by election for his replacement, is less than certain. We hear what the hot topics will be in this rural constituency. And legally, terms like milk, cheese, cream and yogurt are protected so they can only be used for the associated dairy products and not to describe non-dairy produce. We hear about a vegan alternative to cheese made from cashews. Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

SCANDALES, OMICRON, BREXIT... LA CHUTE DE BOJO ? – 14/12/21 Invités PHILIPPE DESSERTINE Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance AGNÈS-CATHERINE POIRIER Correspondante en Grande-Bretagne - « L'Express » FLORENTIN COLLOMP Journaliste - « Le Figaro » Spécialiste Europe, ex-correspondant à Londres CATHERINE NORRIS-TRENT Journaliste britannique Grand reporter en charge des questions internationales – « France 24 » Les événements s'accélèrent pour Boris Johnson. Alors que la rapidité avec laquelle le variant Omicron s'est diffusé outre-Manche semble avoir pris de court le Premier ministre britannique qui dit redouter l'arrivée d'un « raz de marée » au Royaume-Uni, lui-même accumule les déboires ces derniers semaines et la question de son avenir politique est désormais posée par ses opposants politiques mais aussi dans son propre camp conservateur. Englué dans un scandale à rallonge sur la tenue, ou non, de plusieurs fêtes de Noël à Downing Street, l'année dernière, en pleine période de confinement, le dirigeant sur qui les affaires glissaient jusqu'alors sans trop de dommages est désormais pressé de s'expliquer. Et la pression monte alors que le rythme des révélations s'est encore accéléré ces derniers jours. Ainsi la diffusion d'une vidéo montrant sa porte-parole Allegra Stratton se moquer des règles de confinement durant ce fameux Noël 2020 n'a pas arrangé les choses. Boris Johnson a dû présenter ses excuses mais depuis il sombre chaque jour un peu plus dans les sondages. Dans la tourmente, le Premier ministre a décidé de jouer son va-tout, donnant l'image d'un chef en guerre contre l'ennemi Omicron. Mercredi dernier, après avoir été malmené à la Chambre des Communes, il a convoqué une conférence de presse où il a annoncé la mise en place quasi immédiate de son « plan B » contre la cinquième vague : retour du télétravail, port du masque dans les transports, théâtre et cinémas et obligation de présenter un passe sanitaire dans les boîtes de nuit et rassemblements de plus de 500 personnes. Puis dimanche dans une nouvelle intervention, il a décidé d'accélérer la campagne de rappel pour tous les adultes et pris de nouvelles mesures pour contrer la propagation du nouveau variant. Mais ces annonces passent mal auprès de dizaines de députés de la majorité conservatrice, soucieux de leur impact économique et déjà échaudés par des précédents scandales entourant le gouvernement, en matière de lobbying notamment. Certains de ces élus estiment aussi que le mauvais exemple donné par le pouvoir est susceptible de mettre à mal le respect des restrictions par la population et envisagent de voter contre ce mardi. La semaine qui s'ouvre pourrait être d'autant plus complexe pour Boris Johnson que jeudi va se dérouler l'élection partielle dans le nord du Shropshire, où il s'agira de remplacer Owen Paterson, cet élu dont le Premier ministre a tenté de minimiser le mois dernier les activités de lobbying, mais qui a fini par démissionner. La circonscription est aux mains des tories depuis quarante ans, mais cette fois, les démocrates libéraux croient en leurs chances de victoire. Ce scrutin sera donc un véritable test en « grandeur réelle » de l'impact sur l'électorat des affaires mais aussi des premières conséquences du Brexit, notamment des nombreuses pénuries de main-d'œuvre et de matières premières qui impactent la vie des Britanniques depuis plusieurs mois. Mais le véritable danger pour Boris Johnson pourrait venir de son propre camp, les conservateurs n'hésitant pas à se séparer de leurs dirigeants quand ils ne sont plus considérés comme capables de leur faire gagner les élections. Alors est-ce le début de la fin pour Boris Johnson ? Quelle est la situation sanitaire au Royaume-Uni ? Comment est vécu le Brexit outre-Manche ? Enfin pourquoi la Manche est-elle devenue une route migratoire si importante ? Que prévoient les accords du Touquet ? DIFFUSION : du lundi au samedi à 17h45 FORMAT : 65 minutes PRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40 RÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard PRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal Productions Retrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux : INTERNET : francetv.fr FACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5 TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslair INSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

In this episode of the podcast Will is once again joined by William Kedjanyi, the Political Analyst and the Sporting Previewer for Star Sports, to discuss the upcoming North Shropshire by election to elect a new MP for Owen Paterson's former seat, the fall out of the various alleged Christmas Parties involving Downing Street, Boris Johnson's fall in the polls and Keir Starmer's rise in them, the US mid term elections next year and the possibility of Donald Trump becoming Speaker of the House. 

Isabel Hardman talks to Katy Balls and the New Statesman's Stephen Bush about the possibility of an upset next Thursday in the seat recently vacated by Owen Paterson. 

In this extended podcast Iain Martin speaks to Iain Dale about his new book The Presidents: 250 Years of American Political Leadership. Iain Martin hosts Press Review episode 14 where the team cover stories on fears over the next pandemic, central banks and growing fears of inflation, the migration crisis in Europe, why the supply chain bottlenecks are finally easing up and the ongoing fallout following the Owen Paterson scandal. Maggie Pagano hosts Press Review episode 15 on US stocks slide on news of new covid variant in South Africa, the English Channel tragedy, the flooding at The Smithsonian, how the internet has stopped us all being able to forget and the decline of the male novelist.

The Institute for Government was pleased to welcome the Rt Hon Angela Rayner MP, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow First Secretary of State, to deliver a keynote speech setting out how Labour would reform the systems that govern standards in public life. She was then in conversation with Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government. The row over Owen Paterson's paid lobbying and the wider debate it has stimulated about MPs' second jobs have again brought into the spotlight the systems designed to uphold ethical standards in public life. As well as the codes and institutions governing MPs, the rules about how ministers should behave and the processes that uphold these standards have been called into question. In her speech, Angela Rayner set out how Labour would redesign those rules, strengthen existing standards bodies and put new institutions in place to uphold standards in public life. Angela Rayner has been the MP for Ashton-under-Lyne since 2015. She holds a number of roles including: Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, Shadow Secretary of State for the Future of Work; Shadow Deputy Prime Minister; Shadow First Secretary of State and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

It has been a challenging week for Boris. Following the Peppa Pig speech, immediately after the Owen Paterson u-turn, the party may be starting to lose patience. This could have implications for the government's future, shown most recently by the rebellion on the social care bill. Many MPs did a ‘no show' and the government's majority fell from 77 to 26. 'When the majority looks under threat, the personal loyalty disappears quite quickly' - Isabel Hardman  Is the rebellion a reflection of Boris losing support from his party?

During the last general election campaign, Boris Johnson's persona as the improvisational, brash, comedian was endearing to many voters and those in his party. But with multiple weeks of own goals and bad press is this attitude beginning to look careless rather than amusing?  'People are now looking out for the next banana skin' - James Forsyth Isabel Hardman talks to James Forsyth and Katy Balls about the PM's position in the wake Owen Paterson affair and the current migrant crossings in the channel.  Subscribe to The Spectator's Evening Blend email, from Isabel Hardman and Katy Balls, for analysis of the day's political news and a summary of the best pieces from our website.

The announcement of the Integrated Rail Plan has left many, including a number of Conservative MPs, disappointed due to the proposed new routes and notable omissions. This comes at a bad time for Boris Johnson who is already in the dog house over his handling of the Owen Paterson affair.  'Boris Johnson is not in a good place with his party and it's not just over second jobs, it's over a number of things.' - Isabel Hardman Katy Balls talks to James Forsyth and Isabel Harman about the Prime Minister's popularity going off the rails.

The Standards Committee chair Chris Bryant joins Anoosh Chakelian, Stephen Bush and Ailbhe Rea to discuss the ongoing fallout from the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal. They talk about whether the UK is a corrupt country, how the scandal could affect the reputation of all MPs and why this moment feels similar to the run-up to the 1997 general election.

The Prime Minister has written to the Commons Speaker to propose new lobbying rules for MPs. While some may welcome the measure, like former PM Theresa May, who gave a blistering critique of the way the Owen Paterson affair was handled, others in his party might not be so happy. ‘The challenge for him is that it is going to worsen relations with a bit of the Parliamentary party that he already finds it difficult to deal with.' – James Forsyth  Max Jeffery sits down with James Forsyth and Katy Balls to discuss these possible changes and what they could mean for parliament.

LA REINE, BOJO : COUP DE FATIGUE ET SCANDALES EN S É RIE – 16/11/21 Invités ANNE-ELISABETH MOUTET Éditorialiste - «The Daily Telegraph » MARION L'HOUR Journaliste – « France Inter » Ancienne correspondante en Grande-Bretagne CHRISTIAN ROUDAUT Journaliste Ancien correspondant en Grande-Bretagne pour Radio France MARIE-CLAIRE CONSIDÈRE-CHARON Professeure honoraire - Université de Franche-Comté Auteure de « Irlande. Une singulière intégration européenne » Boris Johnson a toujours eu un tempérament optimiste et il n'est pas question que les problèmes du moment perturbent ces bonnes dispositions. Pour autant, les conséquences de la sortie de l'UE le rattrapent et les nuages s'accumulent sur le Royaume-Uni. Les pénuries d'essence, problèmes d'approvisionnement dans les supermarchés ou les usines, manques de main d'œuvre ont impacté pendant de longues semaines le quotidien et le pouvoir d'achat des Britanniques de plus en plus inquiets sur l'avenir. D'autant que d'autres turbulences viennent s'ajouter. Le Royaume-Uni a dû relever lundi le niveau de la menace terroriste à « grave », au lendemain de l'explosion d'un taxi devant un hôpital de Liverpool, qualifiée d'« acte terroriste » par la police. L'attaque, qui a fait un mort – l'auteur – et un blessé, est survenue dimanche matin, au moment même où le pays commémorait les victimes des guerres, à l'occasion du « Dimanche du souvenir ». Une cérémonie à laquelle la reine Elizabeth II devait participer après avoir annulé sa présence à de nombreux évènements depuis son hospitalisation en octobre dernier. Mais le palais de Buckingham a finalement annoncé que sa Majesté ne pourrait pas se rendre à cette cérémonie pour des raisons de santé, ravivant les inquiétudes de ses sujets. Pour tenter de rassurer les Britanniques, le Premier ministre a une nouvelle fois donné des nouvelles de la monarque de 95 ans. « Je sais que tout le monde envoie ses meilleurs vœux à Sa Majesté, la Reine. Je veux juste rassurer tout le monde. J'ai vu la Reine mercredi dernier à Windsor et elle va très bien. Je ne devrais pas avoir à le dire, mais je voulais vous le dire tout de même », a déclaré dans le Daily Mail un Boris Johnson aujourd'hui dans une situation particulièrement délicate. Depuis plusieurs semaines, en effet, les révélations de corruption, de favoritisme et de lobbying mal placé s'accumulent à l'encontre du parti conservateur et plusieurs de ses membres. La plus parlante d'entre elles concerne Owen Paterson, député conservateur et ancien secrétaire d'État. Comme l'a dévoilé le Guardian, il a été payé par deux entreprises (en tout, plus de 500 000 livres, soit environ 585 000 euros) pour un rôle de consultant. Le problème, c'est qu'il est accusé d'avoir profité de sa position de député pour plaider leur cause auprès du gouvernement - ce qui est totalement interdit -, l'une d'elles ayant même réussi à décrocher un gros marché pendant la crise sanitaire. Or, pour tenter de protéger Owen Paterson d'une suspension, les députés conservateurs - soutenu par Boris Johnson - ont déposé mercredi un amendement visant non seulement à réexaminer le cas du député mis en cause mais même, carrément, à revoir le système de règles encadrant les parlementaires. Face au tollé, le Premier ministre britannique a dû faire marche arrière jeudi, espérant préserver une image d'intégrité en pleine COP26 déjà bien chaotique. Mais finalement ce rétropédalage n'a pas mis fin au scandale. Son protégé a été contraint de démissionner. Et si jusqu'ici, Boris Johnson résistait bien dans les sondages malgré l'accumulation des difficultés socio-économiques, cette nouvelle crise, qui cette fois porte atteinte à sa probité, a fait décrocher le niveau de satisfaction de 7 points dans les sondages. Fragilisé, le Premier ministre est également critiqué outre-Manche pour avoir été vu sans masque dans un hôpital anglais alors que le Royaume-Uni fait face depuis plusieurs semaines à un rebond des contaminations de Covid-19.

Tim Durrant, associate director of the Institute for Government, says the process for sanctioning former minister Owen Paterson and all MPs has many stages and the system works well which is why it should not be ripped up. Plus the impact on voters with Chris Curtis from Opinium. He tells Bloomberg's Yuan Potts and Caroline Hepker that Conservatives poll numbers have dropped due to concerns around corruption but voters are still more worried about their finances.

Vultures circle as the Owen Paterson scandal disintegrates into a circular Tory firing squad featuring Geoffrey Cox (hon. member for the Virgin Islands), vengeful whips, an absentee unmasked PM… and a collapsed Conservative poll lead. Plus COP26 winds down, we talk to PETER STOTT, author of Hot Air to find out how climate denial has morphed into a campaign to smear climate mitigation as “too costly”. And ARTHUR SNELL drops in to introduce our new sibling podcast Doomsday Watch, a deep dive into mammoth global threats that media and leaders are ignoring.  “Being in power is not enough. They need to be in power with nobody looking over their shoulders. And now, everyone is looking over their shoulders.” – ALEX ANDREOU “The Paterson story is so simple. Man took money. Government changed rules to get him off. Even the Mail could see it.” – NAOMI SMITH “There's an internal implosion going on in the Conservative Party – and it's delightful to witness.” – ALEX ANDREOU  “We need to stop talking about climate ‘sceptics'. They're not sceptics. Scepticism is a tool of science. They're deniers.” – PETER STOTT “The Tories are terrified at this story that they've all got their noses in the trough because… they've all got their noses in the trough.” – ALEX ANDREOU Paterson no, Patreon yes!

Contro tutte le tradizioni, i conservatori hanno usato la loro maggioranza parlamentare per salvare un proprio deputato da un procedimento disciplinare. Come si è arrivati a questo punto? Quali sono le conseguenze per Johnson? E quanto è diffusa la pratica del doppio lavoro dei deputati, al centro dello scandalo?

As the Owen Paterson mess unspools to expose Geoffrey Cox's novel approach to working from home and much more, has the Government set off a multi-polar controversy it can't control? Did Boris Johnson do himself any favours by refusing to face the Commons in contrition? And how does it play outside Westminster when someone on £80,000 a year claims they needs a second or third job? Our special guest is ROB HUTTON, veteran lobby journalist and now sketchwriter at The Critic.  • “What did I make of last week in Parliament? It was objectively hilarious.” – ROB HUTTON • “Rees-Mogg and Mark Spencer had to sit silently on the benches and take their punishment – and that was quite the sight.” – CATH HADDON • “It's not important to say you're not a corrupt country. It's important not to HAVE to say you're not a corrupt country…” – ROB HUTTON • “If MPs like Geoffrey Cox have time to do all this extra work, why don't they spend it trying to improve Parliament?” – CATH HADDON • “The fact that Geoffrey Cox had massive outside jobs was known ten days ago and it wasn't news back then. It is now.” – ROB HUTTON Presented by Hannah White with Cath Haddon and Tim Durrant.  Audio production by Alex Rees.

With Chancellor Rishi Sunak saying that the government needs to do better in light of the Owen Paterson event, all eyes are now on the PM to show some contrition. But will a man famous for hardly ever saying sorry come round? 'He really doesn't like apologies, never has done... so when he doesn't apologise he gives the story legs.' - James Forsyth Max Jeffery talks to James Forsyth and Katy Balls about the catch 22 Boris Johnson now finds himself in.

Westminster is once again in crisis, amid the chaos surrounding the Owen Paterson lobbying affair. The MP was found to have broken the rules and was meant to be suspended, but MPs voted to overturn the system rather than suspend their colleague, only to then U-turn the next day. Mr Paterson maintains he did nothing wrong but has resigned his seat. The crisis has thrown up questions that have been asked before: should MPs be lobbyists? Should MPs have second jobs? Who should oversee the conduct of MPs? Who should be allowed a seat in the Lords? Is the Prime Minister shirking responsibility or are his poll numbers immune to scandal? Correspondent Paul McNamara discusses what exactly Owen Paterson did, whether the system is broken, and what this all tells us about not just what MPs are up to, but what this government thinks it can and cannot get away with.

As the Conservative party remains split on how to respond to allegations of sleaze, Rowena Mason and Heather Stewart bring us up to date on what is happening. Plus, Nesrine Malik and Daniel Bruce of Transparency International look at how political systems may become corrupt over time. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/politicspod

Elías Pétursson, bæjarstjóri í Fjallabyggð, fagnar komu varðskipsins Freyju til Siglufjarðar og segir að þetta sé mikið öryggismál fyrir Norður- og Austurland. Freyja kom til heimahafnar á laugardag og tóku margir á móti skipinu og áhöfn þess þrátt fyrir leiðindaveður. Auður Önnu Magnúsdóttir, framkvæmdastjóri Landverndar, fór yfir það sem hefur verið rætt á loftslagsráðstefnu Sameinuðu þjóðanna í Glasgow en ráðstefnan er rúmlega hálfnuð. Meðal annars hefur Brasilía lofað að stöðva skógareyðingu sem er gríðarlega mikilvægt skref að mati Auðar en stigið mjög seint. Áhersla er lögð á vernd náttúrulegra skóga og Bandaríkin eru að koma sterkt inn í loftslagsumræðuna að nýju. Grænar áherslur fyrirtæka eru stundum grænþvottur segir Auður og vísar þar meðal annars til þess að mun minna sé á bak við loforðin en vera eigi. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir fjallaði um minkamálið og stöðu Mette Frederiksen, forsætisráðherra Danmerkur, vegna þessa en hún hefur þótt standa sig vel í embætti, þar á meðal í baráttunni við Covid-faraldurinn. Sigrún talaði einnig um nýtt spillingarmál í breskum stjórnmálum. Á fimmtudaginn sagði þingmaður og fyrrum ráðherra, Owen Paterson, af sér eftir að þingnefnd komst að þeirri niðurstöðu að hann ætti að víkja af þingi í 30 daga fyrir brot á reglum um aukavinnu þingmanna. Gunnhildur Lily Magnúsdóttir er doktor í stjórnmálafræði og dósent við háskólann í Malmö. Rætt var við hana í þættinum um breytingar í Jafnaðarmannaflokknum en Magdalena Andersson, fjármálaráðherra Svíþjóðar, er nýr formaður Jafnaðarmannaflokksins. Hún tók við embættinu af Stefan Löfven sem hefur verið formaður flokksins frá árinu 2012. Hún verður væntanlega fyrst kvenna til að gegna embætti forsætisráðherra Svíþjóðar. Tónlist: Chuck E?s in love og The Horses með Rickie Lee Jones. Umsjón: Björn Þór Sigbjörnsson og Guðrún Hálfdánardóttir.
