    The summer transfer window comes to a close today but, as Parliament also returns from summer recess today, the only team Keir Starmer is focused on is his own in Number Ten. The Prime Minister has decided to reshuffle his advisers, including bringing in Darren Jones MP to Number Ten from the Treasury. Political editor Tim Shipman and James Kirkup, a partner at Apella Advisors and senior fellow at the Social Market Foundation, join economics editor Michael Simmons to go through the moves. Will yet another change in advisers boost Labour's fortunes? Or are they doomed to relegation?Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Natasha Feroze.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

    With both the Scottish and UK Parliaments back in session today, there is a back to school vibe for this week's podcast. After a quite week last week everything is kicking up a gear. We look at the Keir Starmer's mini mini reshuffle, which is a lot less sensational than expected, but seems to be centralizing power in Number 10. We talk about the number of departures from the Scottish Conservatives, and the fact that one of them, Graham Simpson going to Reform, might jeopardize the recall petition idea that he is pushing through as a private member's Bill.We also talk about the Scottish Green's leadership election and what that might mean in terms of new leadership, the energy price cap, and Kemi Badenoch: drill, baby, drill.

    On the first Sunday Show since the passing of the irrepressible Neil de Beer, host Chris Steyn honours his fearless spirit of resistance by renaming it the NdB Sunday Show. In his tribute, commentator Renaldo Gouws describes De Beer's life “as a testament to courage, conviction, and an unyielding love for our nation”. He goes on to tackle some of issues that would have equally enraged Neil, including “Special Leave” Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's unleashing an “extraordinary amount of force and also abusing his power in order to do that” on a podcaster who had bruised his ego with a satiric sketch. To better enlighten voters, Gouws, a former Parliamentarian, reveals all the perks MPs get in addition to their salaries. He also warns what drastic lifestyle changes are in store for politicians if they are hit with personal sanctions. “…it's going to be a very tough time. And I think that would be the thing, ironically, that would actually put South Africa on the correct path again because if you hit these cadres where they feel it the most, which is in their pockets, then that is when we will see a change in South Africa.” Lastly, he calls on Parliament's Ethics Committee to act against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema following the Equality Court finding that he and his party are guilty of hate speech and incitement to violence.

    This week is the sixth and final episode in our series over Parliament's summer recess, speaking to experts and looking at how Labour have performed in their first year in office in some of the big policy areas, and the biggest has been saved until last; the economy.Fixing the country's finances was their number one priority when Keir Starmer came into office last year, promising to kickstart economic growth after a decade of stagnation and austerity, followed by post-pandemic inflation and the chaotic fallout from the Liz Truss ‘mini-Budget'.But after announcing there was a so-called £22billion ‘black hole' in the country's finances once she arrived in the Treasury, Rachel Reeves announced £40billion of tax increases in her first Budget as Chancellor, and despite saying it would be a ‘one off', this year's sluggish growth figures mean she finds herself in a similarly difficult position as she heads towards her second Budget this autumn.So joining host Alain Tolhurst to discuss how well the government has managed the economy after being handed an undoubtedly difficult inheritance, and whether they will chart a path towards economic growth this parliament, is Helen Miller, the new director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the UK's most-respected economic think tank.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

    Robert Maxwell, born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch, was a British media proprietor, investor, and Member of Parliament. He was born on June 10, 1923, in Czechoslovakia (now part of Ukraine) to Jewish parents. Maxwell's early life was marked by the turmoil of World War II, during which he fought for the British Army.After the war, Maxwell started building his business empire, primarily in the publishing industry. He acquired Pergamon Press in 1951, which became the foundation of his media holdings. Over the years, Maxwell expanded his business interests into newspapers, including the acquisition of the Daily Mirror Group in 1984, making him one of Britain's most prominent media moguls.Maxwell was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and charismatic personality, often attracting both admiration and criticism. He was a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party from 1964 to 1970, representing Buckingham.However, Maxwell's business practices came under scrutiny, particularly concerning his use of employee pension funds to finance his various ventures. His companies' financial dealings were often opaque, and there were allegations of fraud and embezzlement.In 1991, Maxwell's empire came crashing down when he mysteriously disappeared while sailing on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, near the Canary Islands. His body was later found in the Atlantic Ocean, and the circumstances of his death remain controversial. Investigations revealed that Maxwell had been involved in massive financial fraud, with his companies being heavily indebted. The collapse of his empire led to significant financial losses for investors and employees.In this episode we once again pull the curtain back on the House Of Maxwell and get a glimpse of what's inside.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's tragic family life: From media tycoon father who died in the Atlantic and the millionaire siblings who suffered bankruptcy, divorce and early death as disgraced socialite appeals against her sex trafficking conviction | Daily Mail Online

The allegation? That these operatives tried to stir up a movement in Greenland—a territory of Denmark—to break away and open the door to U.S. control. Danish officials call it “completely unacceptable,” likening it to planting a fifth column inside an allied nation.

His companies' financial dealings were often opaque, and there were allegations of fraud and embezzlement.In 1991, Maxwell's empire came crashing down when he mysteriously disappeared while sailing on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, near the Canary Islands. His body was later found in the Atlantic Ocean, and the circumstances of his death remain controversial. Investigations revealed that Maxwell had been involved in massive financial fraud, with his companies being heavily indebted. The collapse of his empire led to significant financial losses for investors and employees.In this episode we once again pull the curtain back on the House Of Maxwell and get a glimpse of what's inside.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Ghislaine Maxwell's tragic family life: From media tycoon father who died in the Atlantic and the millionaire siblings who suffered bankruptcy, divorce and early death as disgraced socialite appeals against her sex trafficking conviction | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims takes a hard look at Ottawa's waste and overspending — and what Canadians can expect when Parliament returns. Since 2016, the federal government has added 99,000 bureaucrats, driving costs up by 77%. Yet half of Canadians say federal services have gotten worse. At the same time, nearly 40% of federal bureaucrats now collect six-figure salaries. The examples of waste are endless, from bizarre arts grants and DEI projects to billions shipped overseas, all while working families struggle to afford basics. Kris is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano to dig into the numbers. Together, they highlight how ordinary Canadians are paying more while getting less in return. Franco predicts that the fall session will bring major fights over Carney's hidden industrial carbon tax, the costly electric vehicle mandate that kicks in next year, and a federal debt that has already soared past $1 trillion. And despite these failures, Ottawa still finds room for bonuses. From ArriveCan to CMHC, government executives continue to reward themselves with millions — even when Canadians are falling behind and services are breaking down. Learn more about your ad choices.

It costs you nothing to have all our new content delivered to straight to your inbox! https://realprogressives.substack.com/ Remember Labour's stunning defeat in the 2019 UK general election? When, under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, they won the lowest number of seats since 1935? Steve's guest, Chris Williamson, brings an insider's view to the story. Chris is a former MP and shadow minister for UK's Labour Party. He's currently deputy leader of the Workers Party of Britain, and hosts a show, Palestine Declassified, that has the notable honor of being banned by YouTube. Chris describes some strategic missteps within the Labour Party under Corbyn and others. He criticizes the adoption of neoliberal policies, like the fiscal credibility rule, and Corbyn's ambiguity on Brexit. The Zionist lobby leapt on their support for Palestine; charges of antisemitism hit their target. “Unfortunately, Jeremy gave it legs by continually apologizing. And as I said to him at the time, ‘Every apology you make and every concession you give is just feeding the beast and making it stronger. Ultimately they're going to come for you and destroy this project.' And they did. I mean, that's what really killed the Corbyn project. It was the antisemitism thing. I mean, what finished it off. What delivered the coup-de-grace, of course, was the commitment to a second referendum on Brexit.” Chris also recounts his own experience as a victim of coordinated attacks which led to his being ousted from the Labour Party. Throughout the conversation, Steve and Chris continuously pound the MMT message, reminding us that the UK, like the US, is not constrained by lack of money!Chris Williamson is a former member of Parliament and shadow minister for the Labour Party, currently deputy leader of the Workers Party of Britain.@DerbyChrisW on X Follow Palestine Declassified https://www.presstv.ir/Section/150108
