Today James Heale has been on quite the magical mystery tour. Bundled into a bus at 7.45 a.m. along with a group of other hacks, he was sent off to an aircraft hangar in Oxfordshire where Nigel Farage finally unveiled his party's long-awaited deportations strategy. The unveiling of ‘Operation Restoring Justice' was accompanied by some impressive production value, including a Heathrow-style departure board and an enormous union flag.The headlines of Farage's mass deportation initiative are as follows: Reform will leave the ECHR and disapply the Refugee Convention for five years if elected in 2029; a new British Bill of Rights will be introduced, with all government departments required to make the migration crisis their number one ministerial priority; and all this at a cost of £2 billion. But how realistic is it? And since we now have headline deportation plans from the parties at the top of the polls (just), which is more impressive?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Karl Williams, research director at the Centre for Policy Studies.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unveiled a radical mass deportation plan, pledging to remove up to 600,000 migrants in his first term if he wins the next general election. Speaking at an Oxfordshire aircraft hangar, Farage called illegal migration a “national emergency” and has promised to take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act, and suspend the Refugee Convention for five years as the number of channel crossings rise. Camilla was at the event to hear the announcement and speaks to Deputy Leader Richard Tice and Kent County Council Leader Linden Kemkaran about the party's hardline immigration plans and why Farage has warned of a “genuine threat to public order” if politicians fail to act.Producer: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersSocial Producer: Ji-Min LeeStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

**WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of suicide**On 6 September 1560, Amy Robsart Dudley died after falling down a staircase at Cumnor Place in Oxfordshire. But did she fall? Was she pushed? Or did she throw herself down the stairs? These questions exercised Tudor courtiers and foreign ambassadors at the time. The truth mattered because Amy was the wife of Queen Elizabeth I's leading courtier and very close friend, Robert Dudley, and his wife's death could clear the way for Elizabeth to marry Dudley. But in practice, the circumstances of Amy's death precluded any possibility of a royal marriage. In this second episode of our Tudor True Crime Month on Not Just the Tudors, first released in February 2023, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. Joanne Paul to discuss what really happened - was it an accident, suicide or murder?MORE:The House of Dudley >Robert Dudley: Elizabeth I's Forbidden Love >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Author Xenobe Purvis says the premise for her new novel is based on a nugget of history. In 1700, a doctor reported that five sisters in Oxfordshire, England were said to be “seized with frequent barking in the manner of dogs.” Purvis' The Hounding imagines what happens to these girls after a ferryman starts a dangerous rumor about them. In today's episode, Purvis talks with NPR's Scott Simon about rumors, gossip and the danger of being a girl in society.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Police arrested more than 200 people at a demonstration in central London in support of Palestine Action on Saturday 9th August - as protesters said free speech was under attack. Palestine Action is proscribed by the government as a terrorist organisation, but the High Court ruled on 30 July that proscription of Palestine Action, which has carried out break-ins at defence firms linked to Israel as part of direct action protests, should be reviewed. Palestine Action was banned under terrorism law after activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire in June, and sprayed two Voyager planes with red paint. In other news, President Zelensky says there'll be no surrender of Ukrainian land to Russia -- ahead of talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin next week. And there's been a heartfelt plea for world peace from the Mayor of Nagasaki on the 80th anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on his city by the United States.

This week on The Go-To Food Podcast, we're joined by a true multi-hyphenate: model, chef, bestselling author, and international TV star Lorraine Pascale. From gracing the covers of US Elle and hanging out with De Niro in New York, to conquering UK television screens and selling over a million cookbooks, Lorraine's journey is nothing short of remarkable. But after years of intense public life, she stepped away from the spotlight. In this candid conversation, she opens up about the burnout that came with global fame, the anxiety that followed, and the unexpected life she's built away from the kitchen.We dive deep into her extraordinary backstory — adopted as a baby, raised in Oxfordshire, and fostered through traumatic experiences — and how she emerged from that to land a modelling contract at just 16. Lorraine shares wild memories from the fashion world, from being shaved bald against her will to partying in NYC, before switching careers entirely and enrolling at Leiths culinary school. From there, she worked in some of London's most elite kitchens, launched her own cake business with the help of Marco Pierre White, and became one of the most recognisable food personalities on TV.Plus, we find out her dream three-course final meal and her Go-To locations.

If you've ever looked around and thought, “How did it get this bad?” you're not alone. The toys, the dishes, the laundry, the mental to-do list that never stops. This episode is for the mums who are just plain overwhelmed and need permission to stop trying to do it all. I sat down with Annie from Declutter with Delight to talk about what really happens when you let go of the guilt, the pressure, and the piles, and start creating a home that supports your real life, not your Pinterest board. We're digging into: Why motherhood during COVID sent Annie into stuff overload, and how it led her to decluttering for mental survival How being a former teacher helps her create routines and systems that actually stick The myth that “you should just be able to manage” and why it keeps so many women stuck What changed when she stopped obsessing over how things looked and focused on how things worked Why involving kids early makes decluttering easier, not harder Annie's go-to method for overwhelmed clients: start with bins, skip the sentimental The magic of a 10-minute tidy when everything has a place, and how to get there The real cost of clutter: overwhelm, overstimulation, and constant decision fatigue A powerful client story that started with one overwhelmed mum and ended with a complete mindset shift Her advice to anyone who feels ashamed to ask for help, and why it's actually a strength This one's for the mums carrying it all, physically, mentally, emotionally, and wondering if they're just not cut out for this. You are. You're just doing it all alone.

Secrets of the hoax – real & imagined beastsOur first guest Simon Lea had two close encounters with a large black panther at his farmholding in Oxfordshire. He later created the life-size metal panther that was positioned in Charlbury in a large garden close to the station. The ‘panther' was spotted by train passengers and sometimes got reported as a real big cat, as previously discussed on ep 93 of the podcast. We hear the full story behind the Charlbury Panther from Simon.Simon has just made a replica Charlbury Panther for the coming event, Depicting Britain's Beasts – the art of British big cats, at Nature in Art gallery, Gloucestershire, 12-22 August, 2025. https://natureinart.org.uk/event/depicting-britains-beasts-the-art-of-british-big-cats/?instance_id=977#:~:text=With%20evidence%20from%20DNA%20and,been%20moved%20to%20illustrate%20them.Our second guest Andy Council is a Bristol based mural painter and graffiti artist. He discusses three of his British black panther illustrations which will be at the Nature in Art event in August. He explains how he came to use British big cats amongst his public artwork. One of Andy's paintings is the Five Valleys Panther, based on big cat sightings in the Stroud area. Andy and Rick discuss sightings they have heard about in people's gardens in that area.  Andy is interested in awareness raising through his art. He explains the importance of showing panthers, pumas and lynx in a British setting, and he describes the challenges of  depicting a big cat in a modern street-art style.      Word of the week:   tagging16 July 2025

Listeners, allow us to welcome you to a podcast 166 million years in the making...  Like most people interested in nature, we absolutely had a dinosaur phase (Jack arguably never left it). It's been an aim of ours to do some sort of dinosaur special on the show for a while, but never in our wildest dreams did we think we'd actually get to JOIN AN EXCAVATION.  Have a listen as we visited a quarry in Oxfordshire to meet Dr Duncan Murdock and a team of experts, that are carefully uncovering dinosaur footprints for the first time since the Jurassic... Hang around until the end of the show too, as we've got some big podcast news that we wanted to share with you.    For extra Geese, don't forget to head on over to the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/howmanygeese    

From art student to estate agentBertie originally studied History of Arts at Leeds and wanted to work in the art world, but his dad's clients convinced him to learn the ropes at Russell Simpson first. He joined at 21 just before the 2008 crash and didn't do a single deal for his first year - not exactly the smoothest start! Despite being naturally shy and reserved, he stuck with it and eventually found his groove working alongside five of his six siblings. Working with Family and Leading TeamsBertie talks about what it's like being the eldest of six kids and how that shaped his approach to running the business. He's had to prove himself beyond just being "Alan's son" and has developed his leadership style through lots of reading business books and working with a therapist-coach. His philosophy is pretty straightforward - understand what people are good at, get out of their way, and let them do their thing without friction.  Market Insights and Future PlansWhen it comes to the current property market, Bertie shares his thoughts on everything, including political uncertainty affecting buyers. Russell Simpson is expanding into Mayfair and has partnered with a similar family business in Manhattan to help with US buyers. He's realistic about the challenges but optimistic about London's appeal. The conversation wraps up with some fun, quick-fire questions where Bertie reveals his obsession with real tennis (an obscure sport with only 40 courts worldwide) and his dream of creating a family commune in Oxfordshire complete with chickens and a vegetable patch.

In the shadowed woods of Oxfordshire lies Wychwood Forest—an ancient hunting ground steeped in spectral folklore.

At Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England (the birthplace of prime minister Winston Churchill), there are exhibitions dotted around about ways of life at the palace over the years. The entire stables area is converted into a museum about past ways of life in the grounds, one of which is a series of traditional English bowler hats suspended from the ceiling. Each hat contains a speaker, which plays interviews with workers from the palace estate, talking about their jobs and daily lives. As you walk around underneath the hats, you're exposed to a sound collage of lives being revealed to you.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.

Typiskt brittiskt är ett uttryck som ofta förknippas med varuhuset Liberty och dess många småblommiga textilmönster. I år firar varumärket 150 år. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Liberty är ett av Londons äldsta varuhus och varumärken. De har idag ett arkiv på runt 60 000 olika mönster som förvaras i en bombsäker bunker på en övergiven militärbas i Oxfordshire. Men så är det mönster som inspirerat artister, modeskapare och musiker från 1875, ända in i vår tid.När Arthur Lasenby Liberty grundade varumärket 1875 ville han skapa en butik som inte skulle följa modet, utan som skulle sätta nya trender inom både kläder, och kultur. Författaren Oscar Wilde blev en stammis på varuhuset och sade att det var den självklara destinationen för ”den konstnärliga shopparen”.Under de 150 år som gått har förstås varumärkets trendfaktor gått upp och ned. Men under senare år har modevärlden börjat få upp ögonen för Libertys många mönstrade tyger. Allt från Gucci till Acne Studios har gjort samarbeten.I veckans program pratar vi med Karin Lindberg som driver ett över 100 år gammalt familjeföretag som sedan sekelskiftet varit återförsäljare av Libertys tyger och textilier. Författaren och kulturhistoriker Elisabeth Svalin Gunnarsson berättar om Blanche Dickson som lät bygga Tjolöholms slott utanför Göteborg vid förra sekelskiftet – en ståtlig byggnad som är full av exklusiv inredning från Liberty. Och så träffar vi formgivaren och illustratören Astrid Wilson som precis som Liberty ofta och gärna använder blommor som motiv när hon skapar sina färgsprakande mönster.

If you need answers about your past life, we're here to help. As we gaze into the swirling mists of the unknown, we're seeing you. Not "you," but rather a past you. You're wearing a funny hat and white stockings. You're Henry Picklethorpe Wigglesworth IV, the Viscount of Golden Balls, Oxfordshire. Your estate, Hairy-Knob-upon-Fanny-Bottom, was famous for its 27 chimneys, haunted marmalade cellar, and the location of the only documented UK marriage between a man and a swan. You routinely bathed in earl grey tea and while loathed by most of the village, you were beloved by the local cabbage farmers due to your penchant for drunken cabbage copulation in the town square. Your current life is still echoing with aristocratic absurdity, so go forth knowing that whatever happens to you in this life, it'll never be quite as embarrassing as humping a cabbage under a full moon after drinking three bottles of absinthe.

Matthew Shepherd, Director of Outreach and Education, Bring Back the Pollinators Matthew has worked for the Xerces Society for more than two decades, initially at the vanguard of a new movement to protect pollinators, but then on endangered species and a range of other issues, as well as several years leading Xerces' communications work. Throughout this time, he maintained a direct involvement in pollinator conservation in towns and cities, and in his current role has returned to outreach and community engagement. Much of this focuses on supporting neighborhood-level efforts such as pollinator gardens and small habitat projects in parks, as well as leading the Bring Back the Pollinators campaign and promoting the No Mow May and Leave the Leaves initiatives. Matthew is author of numerous articles and other publications, including Attracting Native Pollinators (Storey Publishing, 2011) and Gardening for Butterflies (Timber Press, 2016). He also is the long-time editor of Wings, the Xerces Society's magazine. Matthew's 35-year conservation career began in England and took him to Kenya before his arrival in the United States. After completing a master's of science in land resource management, Matthew managed National Trust lands in Oxfordshire, established a successful community-based conservation program in Essex, and helped to create Samphire Hoe, an award-winning nature park at the foot of the White Cliffs of Dover. During a VSO placement in Kenya, he worked with local communities and government agencies to improve the management of Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, on the coast north of Mombasa. It was in Kenya that he met a Peace Corps volunteer⁠—who is the reason he moved to Oregon. They live on the west side of the Portland metro region. Their two children are now at college, but they still get together—although sometimes they roll their eyes when Matthew points out yet another super-cool insect that he found.

Reform UK, el partido de Nigel Farage, es la nueva sensación en la política británica. Dos victorias electorales simultáneas, una en las elecciones locales y otra en la circunscripción de Runcorn y Helsby, que han arrebatado al Partido Laborista por sólo seis votos, ha provocado todo un terremoto político. Con esta victoria, Reform UK recupera los cuatro diputados en la Cámara de los Comunes, un número que no le hace justicia ya que en las elecciones del año pasado fue el tercer partido más votado, pero el sistema electoral británico, uninominal mayoritario, redujo al mínimo su representación. El mismo día de la victoria en Runcorn y Helsby, Reform UK logró un éxito notable en las elecciones locales con mayorías en varios consejos de condado y ayuntamientos. En Lincolnshire, un bastión conservador, Reform arrasó, mientras que en Durham y Staffordshire también tomó el control desplazando a laboristas y conservadores. En Lancashire, un condado políticamente volátil, Reform se consolidó como fuerza dominante. Estos resultados confirman que el partido no sólo es el dueño de las encuestas, sino que eso se traduce en apoyo electoral real. Para el partido Conservador, liderado por Kemi Badenoch, los resultados fueron catastróficos: perdieron 676 concejales y 16 de 23 consejos disputados. Badenoch está en entredicho dentro de su partido. Para Farage es una bendición, le pidió que no dimita consciente de que su debilidad le beneficia. Los Liberal Demócratas, por su parte, capitalizaron el descontento, ganando en condados como Cambridgeshire y Oxfordshire. El partido Laborista, aunque ha retenido algunos territorios importantes como North Tyneside y Bristol, lo hizo con márgenes estrechos a causa de las peculiaridades del sistema electoral. En Doncaster, de hecho, superó a Reform UK por solo 700 votos. Estos resultados indican que las próximas elecciones generales serán muy disputadas, especialmente en circunscripciones donde los dos principales partidos llegan igualados. El éxito de Reform UK plantea una serie de cuestiones. Sus concejales, alcaldes y consejeros ahora tienen ahora la difícil tarea de gobernar en ayuntamientos y condados con presupuestos limitados y una aguda crisis en servicios públicos como el cuidado de mayores o el mantenimiento de infraestructuras. Farage, magnífico opositor, deberá demostrar su capacidad de gestión, un terreno en el que no tiene experiencia alguna. El ascenso de Reform UK supone de cualquier modo un giro en la política británica. A diferencia de sus predecesores, como el UKIP o el Brexit Party, Reform está mejor organizado y goza de mayor popularidad. Farage, una figura carismática y disciplinada, busca reemplazar a los conservadores como el principal partido de la derecha. Su agenda combina políticas antiinmigración, recortes fiscales y medidas intervencionistas. Eso atrae tanto a conservadores descontentos como a votantes de clase trabajadora. Aspira a una mayoría absoluta en las elecciones en 2029, un objetivo un tanto ambicioso ya que Reform UK tiene en estos momentos sólo cuatro escaños. Pero las encuestas le dan un 25% y el partido Conservador está en caída libre. A diferencia del voto táctico del centro-izquierda, la derecha está dividida, algo que ha llevado a algunos analistas a pedir un acuerdo entre los conservadores y los reformistas, pero Farage no cree que le convenga mientras lidere las encuestas. Faltan aún cuatro años para las elecciones, cuatro años en los que puede pasar cualquier cosa.
