As Boris Johnson is posted missing and suddenly discovers a set of Parliamentary rules that conveniently means he can't create an emergency budget the two Tory leadership candidates continue to punt themselves to their narrow constituency. Liz Truss's economic plans being rubbished by left and right both and Rishi Sunak letting slip the reality of "levelling up" in Tunbridge Wells.Both claim to be the inheritors of the Thatcher legacy and both as Prime Minister would fail to tackle the root causes of the current economic crisis within privatised  Brexit Britain.However Truss's policies make even Sunak's appear logical and progressive.Lesley questions whether any of this will have any impact on the 160,000 Tory members who will be deciding our next PM?Great play has been made by both, that any public sector pay rises would fuel inflation.  We look at what Tory economic policies have meant to working people over the last decade and just who the winners and losers are.There's growing momentum behind the "Don't Pay" campaign demanding a reduction of energy bills to an affordable level. With another massive hike on October 1st and predictions of the cap rising to over £4000 in January is this a campaign whose time has come?Meanwhile Angela Rayner in Edinburgh,once again, revealed quite how out of touch Labour is on the issue of indyref2. She ruled out working with the SNP in a hung Parliament, claiming that Scottish independence would lead to "perpetual Conservatism at Westminster". We ask what difference, if any, a Starmer Labour government would make. ★ Support this podcast ★

Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's latest report on former South African Revenue Service (SARS) official Ivan Pillay – who last week lambasted her investigations into SARS – has been invalidated "by agreement" with her office. The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Monday ordered that the report, which centred on an 18-year-old IT contract, "is reviewed, declared unlawful and set aside" in each instance where it related to Pillay. More damagingly for Mkhwebane, whose impeachment inquiry continues on Wednesday, the high court also found that the beleaguered Public Protector acted "in breach" of Pillay's constitutional rights by failing to provide him with: "any notice whatsoever of the investigation; "any of the rights to which he is entitled to in terms of section 7(9) of the Public Protector Act, 23 of 1994; and "any right to be heard on the remedial action that the first respondent contemplated granting against him." Given that Mkhwebane has routinely been lambasted by the courts for failing to afford the subjects of her most barbed investigations – including President Cyril Ramaphosa and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan - these same rights, the high court's ruling is very likely to be part of the arsenal of evidence that she needs to address when she testifies at her impeachment inquiry. In her now partially invalidated report on the SARS' IT contract, Mkhwebane recommended that the Hawks consider investigating alleged criminal conduct by current and former SARS bosses, including Edward Kieswetter and Gordhan. She released that report on SARS' 2006 contract with software firm Budge, Barone & Dominick (BBD) less than three hours after the State Capture Inquiry found in its latest report that Gordhan was instrumental in resisting the Guptas' takeover of Treasury. The complaint of "maladministration, improper conduct and procurement irregularities" which prompted the probe, had been launched by former government spokesperson, and current Jacob Zuma Foundation frontman, Mzwanele Manyi, in 2016. While SARS had used a specific Treasury regulation, which provides for deviation from normal procurement processes without the need to put it out to tender, Mkhwebane said she "could not find compelling reasons for them to do so". The Public Protector Act also says that the Public Protector should not consider any complaint unless its reported within two years of the incident, barring special circumstances. Mkhwebane, in this case, said she was deviating from the two-year rule because of "special circumstances". While the Office of the Public Protector has yet to comment on the high court's ruling, Pillay's lawyers have released a statement, in which they noted that Mkhwebane's latest SARS report was the third in which she made adverse findings against Pillay. Both of the other two Public Protector reports that made findings against Pillay – including the so-called SARS "Rogue Unit" report and the report on his early retirement – have been overturned by the courts. "Testifying as a witness on Friday, in the proceedings of the Section 194 Parliamentary inquiry into the fitness of advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane to hold office, Mr. Pillay highlighted a litany of similar abuses of power in these investigations conducted by the Public Protector against him," his lawyers said.

Live from the No Panic Zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice—God Bless America—God Bless You and let's do this! This is the Steve Gruber show— here to vaccinate you against rampant ignorance—roll up your sleeve—   Here are three big things you need to know right now—   ONE— President Joe Biden has finally tested negative on his Covid test—no word on whether he tested positive for his cognitive test—we will keep you up to date— but it doesn't look good— TWO— American scientists—using millions—and possibly billions of tax payer dollars discovered the missing link—on the road to permanent green energy—a true American game changer—BUT guess what? We GAVE it to China! THREE— And once again—the Democrats—hell bent on destroying the Middle Class in America— have used a parliamentary trick to ram more inflation fueling legislation down the throats of the American people—   There is no question that the new Inflation Reduction Act of 2022—will almost certainly have the opposite effect as the completely fraudulent name implies—BUT what would you expect?   One of the features of the reckless legislation—is a doubling of IRS agents—by adding 87,000 new revenue agents—and lets be totally up front about this—they are not coming after millionaires and billionaires—they are coming after you—and ordinary folks everywhere—and if you missed the other headlines—they have also been buying up piles of guns and ammunition—now why on earth would they need that?   It seems the acceleration of the transition—can come with a single party—and no bi-partisan support for anything—because the Democrats don't really care about Republican votes—they actually are working as fast as possible to upend election integrity—ban voter ID—make mass mail-in ballots permanent along with weeks of early voting and weeks to count the votes too—all of which makes our elections less safe every time they do these things—   The new legislation however—is the worst yet—claiming that it will help energy companies and consumers—that it will lower inflation and help out ordinary people—and the simple question is how is that going to happen—   I mean consider the fact that more than half of the new taxes in this mess—will fall on families making less than $200,000 a year—which means Dementia Joe—lied about all the nobody making less than $400,000 blah blah blah—not that he remembers any of that—I mean—he cannot remember breakfast—or where to sit—or who to talk to without crib notes anymore—BUT at least he is focused on running for another term at the age of 116—I mean he is a very old 79—if we are going to tell the truth about all of this—  

Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is facing a parliamentary inquiry into her fitness to hold office. EWN's Parliamentary correspondent Lindsay Dentlinger joins us with an update on the progress of today's inquiry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the morning of Thursday 29 June 1682, a magpie came rasping, rapping and tapping at the window of a prosperous Devon merchant. Frightened by its appearance, his servants and members of his family had, within a matter of hours, convinced themselves that the bird was an emissary of the devil sent by witches to destroy the fabric of their lives. As the result of these allegations, three women of Bideford came to be forever defined as witches. A Secretary of State brushed aside their case and condemned them to the gallows; to hang as the last group of women to be executed in England for the crime. Yet, the hatred of their neighbours endured. For Bideford, it was said, was a place of witches. Though 'pretty much worn away' the belief in witchcraft still lingered on for more than a century after their deaths. In turn, ignored, reviled, and extinguished but never more than half-forgotten, it seems that the memory of these three women - and of their deeds and sufferings, both real and imagined – was transformed from canker to regret, and from regret into celebration in our own age. Indeed, their example was cited during the final Parliamentary debates, in 1951, that saw the last of the witchcraft acts repealed, and their names were chanted, as both inspiration and incantation, by the women beyond the wire at Greenham Common. In The Last Witches of England: A Tragedy of Sorcery and Superstition (Bloomsbury, 2021), Dr. John Callow explores this remarkable reversal of fate, and the remarkable tale of the Bideford Witches. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Bill setting out the role and obligations of the new public media entity easily passed its first reading in Parliament this week.

Tunisian President Kais Saied says draft decrees will be prepared for the holding of an election for a new parliament and a second chamber for regions. The president noted the need to prepare a draft decree related to the election of a new parliament and the Council of Regions and Districts. The president also noted that a draft decree related to the Constitutional Court would be prepared, in accordance with provisions of the new constitution, the statement added. Tunisia's election commission says that preliminary results indicated that a referendum on the constitution delivered a yes vote of 94.6% with a turnout of 30.5%.

I feel the cops are being lined up to take the blame for the increase in this year's road deaths, and I actually don't think that would be fair at all. It turns out we're heading for a high road toll again this year. According to officials, we're probably going to end up with somewhere between 350 to 360 deaths. If you look across the last decade, that's very much at the high end of things. And it's the very opposite of what should be happening. We've got the Government's Road to Zero plan, so we should be heading in the other direction – we're supposed to be aiming for 0 road deaths by 2050. Set aside how unrealistic that goal is to those of us who think rationally, the transport bureaucrats seem to be extremely serious about this, and they're making it very clear who they blame for the uptick in road deaths: the police. This is not the first time transport officials and politicians have blamed the cops for not doing enough things like breath testing and speed camera work and so on and whatever else they expect from the police. This cop blaming has been going on for a little while now, so I'm going to assume that this is deliberate and that this a strategy from the transport people to take the heat off themselves for their own failures. But it's not fair on the police. Because they've been pulled every which way by Government demands in the last two years. These guys were manning MIQ facilities, manning borders around Auckland every time the city went into lockdown, they were sent up north to babysit Hone Harawira's checkpoints so the local iwi could get its way and not pack a tanty if they were told no, they were called in to deal with the Parliamentary protests for the entire time that went on. And meanwhile, they're also trying to deal with a spike in crime in ram raiding and gang activity. They're only so many police to go around – there's not an infinite supply of these people, they can't be everywhere at once. The transport officials are on a hiding to nothing blaming the police. We've all watched the way the coppers have been pulled hither and thither in the last two years. I suspect public sympathy in this one is going to be with the police. They do not deserve to be apportion blame here, they're actually deserving to just be given a break.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A petition for more inclusive public services will be the subject of a one-hour special Parliamentary debate tomorrow. The campaign, run by the Citizens Advice Bureau, calls for government services to be accessible to people in the ways they need; whether that's online, in-person, or over-the-phone. The Citizens Advice Bureau says the public service is heading towards a digital-only future, but over-reliance on online platforms and the removal of people from the delivery of government services is marginalising the most vulnerable. Kathryn speaks to Andrew Hubbard, the acting chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau about the petition and tomorrow's debate.

Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick has ruled herself out from running for the party's co-leadership. In a statement posted to Facebook, Swarbrick said there had been a lot of speculation in recent days since co-leader James Shaw was ousted from the position at the Greens' annual conference. "What happened at our AGM was unprecedented and I, like all of our Green MPs, wanted to respect the process and take time to reflect and listen. That reflection will continue in the coming days and weeks. "I am not in the running for the Co-Leadership. Thank you to all of the lovely and kind people who've expressed their confidence in me. I will continue my work as Auckland Central's MP, in my Parliamentary portfolios and on Finance and Expenditure committee." Earlier today Shaw confirmed he would contest the leadership, saying he was quietly confident of being re-elected. "I am in it to win it," Shaw told reporters saying he had spoken to party members and family and had decided to stand again as Green Party co-leader. Shaw made the announcement after failing to get the 75 per cent votes of delegates at the party's online annual meeting at the weekend to be reconfirmed in the role. Co-leader Marama Davidson was reconfirmed by delegates. This opens up the co-leadership role this week to challengers. Pundits have speculated that Swarbrick may have a tilt for the co-leadership given her popularity. "If the media wants to talk leadership, let's talk about it," Swarbrick said today. "We'll find it in the young people putting their futures on the line for the climate movement. We'll find it on union pickets for fair pay and conditions. We find it in our classrooms with our teachers, in our hospitals with the nurses and midwives and health workers who deserve healthy conditions and quality wages. "Those are the leaders who need our backing and that is where our energy is needed to change the politics - and the power dynamics - of this country and this world."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government has failed to give MPs the chance to debate the trade deal with Australia in the House of Commons. Australia is the first post-Brexit trade deal to be negotiated from scratch. Farmers have objected to its terms; they say it will let in too much beef and lamb produced at standards below those in the UK. Parliamentary scrutiny was promised many times over the last few years. We ask what happened. As part of our week looking at livestock feed, today we hear from a dairy farmer. The recent uncertainty has pushed up animal feed prices which in turn has trickled down to shoppers. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

The Prime Minister is the most visible representation of the UK, after the Queen. Travelling around the world, I have often been asked my views on Thatcher, Blair, and the most recent incumbent of Number 10 Downing Street, Boris Johnson (BoJo).Since Boris Jonson announced his resignation on the 7th July, the Conservative Party has been focused on selecting its next Parliamentary leader. As this is the largest political party in the House of Commons, whoever wins will certainly be the next Prime Minister.In this episode, I give some background to events, both surrounding BoJo, and the office of Prime Minister itself. I outline the selection process and how it works. I also give a brief overview of the main contenders at time of recording. If you enjoy this episode, let me know, and I shall give further updates.

As well as her interviews with politicians and experts, Politics with Michelle Grattan includes “Word from The Hill”, where she discusses the news with members of The Conversation politics team. Michelle and Peter Browne from the Politics + Society team discuss Anthony Albanese's weighing a Ukraine visit and whether Australia will announce more support for that country and reopen its embassy there. They also canvass the just-released Lowy Institute's poll, which found a narrow majority of Australians support increased defence spending, and Defence Minister Richard Marles' announcement extending the terms of the military's top brass. Meanwhile Parliament House has been like the first week of school, with new MPs being briefed on how the place works. Crossbenchers are in a row with the government over Albanese's plan to cut back the additional staff they will get, above the entitlement of government and opposition backbenchers, from four in the last parliament to just one.

Guests featured in this episode:Masha Gessen,  a distinguished journalist & staff writer for the New Yorker.  Born in Moscow in the Soviet Union, Masha moved to the United States in 1981, only to return to Russia as a journalist a decade later. A strong critic of Putin's regime from the very outset, Masha decided to leave Russia and return to the US due to the politically motivated crackdown on gay parents by Russian authorities.They have authored 11 books, most recently, Surviving Autocracy (2020), an insightful account of the Trump Presidency that also draws on their experience of living in Russia. Two of their other books discussed within the podcast are; The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia, and The Man without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin (2012).  GLOSSARYWho was Boris Yeltsin? (00:19:15 or p.5 in the transcript)Boris Yeltsin, Russian politician who became president of Russia in 1991, he was the first popularly elected leader in the country's history, guiding Russia through a stormy decade of political and economic retrenching. During his first presidency Yeltsin publicly supported the right of Soviet republics to greater autonomy within the Soviet Union, took steps to give the Russian republic more autonomy, and declared himself in favour of a market-oriented economy and a multiparty political system.At the same time, Russia's parliament, the Congress of People's Deputies, had grown increasingly hostile toward his free-market reforms. Yeltsin and the Congress were also deeply divided over the question of the balance of powers in Russia's proposed new constitution, which was needed to replace the obsolete 1978 Soviet-era Russian Constitution. On September 21, 1993, Yeltsin unconstitutionally dissolved  the Congress and called for new parliamentary elections. In response, hard-line legislators attempted a coup in early October but were suppressed by army troops loyal to Yeltsin. Parliamentary elections and a referendum on a draft constitution were held in December. Yeltsin's draft constitution, which increased the powers of the presidency, was narrowly approved, but the anti-reform character of Russia's newly elected parliament, the Federal Assembly, compelled Yeltsin to govern primarily by executive decree in the coming years.In another spectacular comeback, however, he won reelection over a communist challenger in the second round of elections held in July 1996. He spent the months after his electoral victory recovering from a heart attack he had suffered that June during the rigours of the campaign. The state of Yeltsin's health was a recurring issue.In the late 1990s political maneuvering dominated much of the country's government as Yeltsin dismissed four premiers and in 1998 fired his entire cabinet, though many were later reappointed. The following year the State Duma initiated an impeachment drive against Yeltsin, charging that he had encouraged the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, among other  allegations The Duma, however, was unable to secure the necessary votes to proceed. Ever unpredictable, Yeltsin announced his resignation on December 31, 1999, in favour of what he characterized as a new, energetic leadership. He named Prime Minister  Vladimir Putin acting president, and in turn Putin granted Yeltsin immunity from future prosecution. Source: Who was Vladimir Zhirinovsky? (00:29:53 or p.7 in the transcript) Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Russian politician and leader of the far-right Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) from 1991 to 2022. Known for his fiery Russian nationalism and broad anti-Semitic asides, he later acknowledged his Jewish roots.Much of Zhirinovsky's personal history is vague, unknown, or disputed. He left his hometown at age 18 to attend Moscow State University, where he studied Turkish and other languages. After graduating about 1969, he went to work as a translator in Turkey, but he was expelled under murky circumstances eight months later. After returning to Moscow in 1972, he worked in various state committee and union posts. He completed an evening law program at Moscow State University, earning his degree in 1977 and then working in a state-run law firm (from which he was later asked to resign). In 1983 Zhirinovsky landed a position as head of the law department at the Mir publishing company, a post that served as a springboard for his political career.Zhirinovsky cofounded the LDPR in 1989. The following year the party was launched in Moscow, and Zhirinovsky was asked to become its chairman, but by October his views had provoked his expulsion. In the spring of 1991 Zhirinovsky created his own party, giving it his previous and party's name, and in June he first ran for the Russian presidency; he ran several times for presidency during his long political carrier. A figure as colorful as Zhirinovsky was bound to be the object of rumour and speculation. It was widely reported that his career could have been possible only under the auspices of the KGB.

It may sound confusing and Byzantine, but it supports productive conversation, deliberation, and both the majority and minority on a public body like an elected council or board. Greenville County Councilman Dan Tripp, known to be one of the most well-versed on council regarding parliamentary procedure, joins us to discuss what it is and how it's used. _ Produced by The Greenville Podcast Company.
