There's no escaping Donald Trump, unfortunately, in this week's episode as we begin by picking apart the tariffs he introduced last week.Has he condemned the US to recession? How did he come up with tariffs he placed on each country? Has he lost the support of the billionaires whose businesses are dependent on freedom of trade?Amidst this Trumpian economic doom and gloom Lesley highlights the work of We Don't Have Time. To listen to the views of its CEO Ingmar Rentzhog click this linkhttps://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/6a458e55-a614-4886-b348-242282e514c7Trump also welcomed Netanyahu to the White House where the two leaders openly discussed, once again, the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. We look at this plus the massacre of Palestinian paramedics and the cover up by Israel that unravelled in the light of video footage recorded by one of the workers murdered by the IDF. We also examine the links between the UK Labour Party at the highest level and Labour Friends of Israel and question the influence of the LFI over UK government policy.On the domestic front there's the announcement by Patrick Harvie that he won't be standing for co-leadership of the Scottish Greens. Lesley speculates on who might run in the upcoming election and what the contest could say about the relationship between the party and its MSPs and the party's direction of travel.Lesley also pays tribute to Christina McKelvie and Willie Wilson both sad recent losses.Christina and Willie were stalwart proponents of Scottish independence and this week saw two polls which showed increasing support for Welsh independence. We discuss.Finally while in Donegal Lesley saw at first hand the effects of radical, progressive land reform and asks when will Scotland take note. ★ Support this podcast ★
Bernard and Alex explain and analyse the significance of Donald Trump's international trade tariffs and how it might affect you personally in everything from the cost of goods to your pension. Donald Trump's sweeping global tariff offensive has triggered market turmoil and reignited fears of a full-blown trade war, with the FTSE 100 plummeting and central banks scrambling to respond. Trump's protectionist policies — including steep tariffs on key trading partners such as the EU, UK, China, and Vietnam — are driving up consumer prices, fuelling inflation, and risking a global recession. Despite claims of “economic patriotism”, experts argue these tariffs amount to a form of self-inflicted economic harm, unravelling decades of free trade orthodoxy. Retaliatory tariffs, rising import costs, and disrupted supply chains are hitting exporters hard, with industries from Scotch whisky to fighter jet components feeling the sting. Critics warn this tit-for-tat tariff spiral could destabilise the world economy, weaken Western alliances, and hand geopolitical leverage to China — all in pursuit of a misguided vision of industrial revival. With headlines dominated by market shocks, IMF warnings, and international backlash, Trump's trade war may be remembered as a high-stakes gamble with devastating global consequences.PLUS Scottish Conservatives keep resigning - but for contradictory reasons.

An independent film released in the UK this week has taken the US box office by storm, but has run into controversy. Sound of Freedom is the story of anti-child trafficking campaigner Tim Ballard, who founded charity Operation Underground Railroad (OUR). But the credibility of the claims made by Ballard and the organisation he once led have been called into question, and troubling links have been unearthed with conspiracy theories perpetuated by the US far-right. Vice News journalists Anna Merlan and Tim Marchman have been digging into the facts behind Ballard and OUR for a number of years, and explained to Ali and Paul what is going on. Elsewhere on the podcast, we explain why Ferret Fact Service fact-checked a video about Patrick Harvie, and Ali's credibility is tested in an impromptu quiz.Show notes:Anna and Tim's work on OUR and Tim Ballard can be found here.Our fact check on the Patrick Harvie video is here.

There are so many Independence and Yes events going on around the country now that it is very hard to keep track of them. MP3s and youtube videos are going up all the time.The 85th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast is the third in a series of podcasts under the title Out & About featuring some of the best ones to give you the chance to hear them without searching too far.Each one will have different speakers, from independent independents, people in the different parties, people in the groups you find at these events and, well, people who've had something excellent to say on the matter.In this third episode the contributions again come from a wide variety of sources.The first is writer and actor Julia Taudevin and is something a bit different from the majority of indyref material you're likely to listen to.The second is Tommy Sheppard, who isn't just a labour supporter who is now supporting a Yes vote, he is someone who was very high up in the party.The third is Patrick Harvie, leader of the Scottish Greens, who has been consistently great all the way through the debate.Last up is Carolyn Leckie explaining the importance of getting a Yes vote by women in Scotland, and the importance of a Yes vote for womenHope You Enjoy, and tell your friends, family and assorted quadrupeds…
"I don't think the UK economy is in recovery...I think it's going back to the disease that [it] suffered from in the run-up to the recession".Patrick Harvie is the guest for the 51st episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast.If you didn't already know, Patrick is an MSP and the co-convener of the Scottish Green Party and he came on to the podcast to talk about some of the alternative ideas post-independence that are outlined in the new Green YES document.For example, the Greens are openly advocating for a Scottish Currency instead of the pound or Euro, there should be a move away from centralised government, and what's a Citizen's Income?It's well worth the listen.
This is a special edition of the podcast featuring some music, some opinions from the crowd and some of the speeches from the Independence Rally in Edinburgh on 21st September 2014.The idea is to give those of you who were there a nice little keepsake of it, and for those like me who were unfortunate enough not to be able to make it, to give an idea of what went on.I'm well aware of course that the best thing about going to this type of political event is not the speeches, but rather the people you meet and the camaraderie. However, it's quite difficult to put that onto an MP3 so this is the best I can do for the podcast!There are many speakers featured including four who have featured on the podcast before (Carolyn Leckie, Patrick Harvie, Colin Fox, Alan Bissett). There were also contributions from Elaine C Smith, Hardeep Singh Kholi and many others.Songs include work by Citizen Smart, as well as someone playing in the street!Hope you enjoy...
For the 20th episode of the For A' That podcast, Andrew and I were joined by Caron Lindsay from the Liberal Democrats and Douglas McLellan, who is possibly the most right-wing member of the Green Party.I was also joined by six new additions which prevented me from making an answer decently at one point, but there you go.On the menu this week were immigration policy and how things might be different in that regard. Foreign policy was also up for discussion again, and it got a bit heated.Ruth Davidson's recent conversion to the cause of further devolution came up - what was behind this volte-face?If the better together parties came up with a semi-plausible/believable devolution plan, how would this affect the debate?Do the SNP have a tendency to centralisation? This and some of their other motivations and policy pronouncements came under scrutiny.Douglas also took the opportunity to explain why he ended up in the same party as Patrick Harvie.Finally, Caron had an 80s party to go to, so that explains the introductory song.
For episode 12 of The Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with MSP and co-convenor of the Scottish Green Party, Patrick Harvie.We discussed the decision of the Greens to join the Yes campaign, some of the goings-on in Holyrood, the environmental advantages that Independence will bring, an increased focus on giving real powers to local government and much more besides.Hope you enjoy it. http://www.yesscotland.net/https://twitter.com/patrickharviehttps://twitter.com/mgreenwellhttp://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/
