Podcast appearances and mentions of Rachel Reeves

Fifty years after publication, Salem's Lot stands as a pinnacle of modern vampire fare and a shining example of literary small town life. In the latest episode of Bloody FM's The Losers' Club podcast, co-hosts Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Dan Pfleegor return to this infamous town to uncover its many dark secrets. Does Ben Mears stand as an early proxy for King or does teacher Matt Burke more successfully fit the bill? Would they prefer Jimmy Cody's originally planned death and is young Mark Petrie too good to be true? They'll answer these questions and more while discussing the novel's many nerve-shattering moments and exploring one of King's most frightening towns. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Happy All Hallows' Eve, everyone – and there is something spooky going on with Rachel Reeves and a property in Dulwich. Yesterday she was leading the news after admitting to renting out her family home following the move into No. 11 without getting the required licence from Southwark Council. There are a number of mitigating circumstances – not least the fact that the lettings agent said they would obtain the licence – but the Prime Minister has been forced to put out a statement. He backs her, for now, but will he come to regret that? Listen for a rare defence of Rachel Reeves on this podcast from our economics editor.Not to be outdone, the Palace have helpfully moved the news agenda along by taking the decision to strip Andrew Mountbatten Windsor – as he is now called – of his titles.

With a month to go until the Budget, chancellor Rachel Reeves needs to find a projected £30bn to balance the books. And the forecasts are not in her favour, with the OBR's bigger than expected productivity downgrade dealing another blow to the Treasury this week. So where will the chancellor find the money – and if Labour have no choice but to break their manifesto tax pledge, where will that leave them with the electorate?

With the Autumn Budget looming, this week The Rundown takes a look at one of the key players in shaping the government's fiscal policy, but one that we know little about. The forecast on the future health of the British economy delivered to Rachel Reeves by the Office for Budget Responsibility will have more impact on shaping what the Chancellor announces next month than almost anything else, but who are the unelected panjandrums who sit on the independent body known as the OBR, how reliable are their economic estimations, and why do they hold so much sway over the Treasury?Joining host Alain Tolhurst to discuss whether the OBR really runs Britain, and if it needs reform, or perhaps abolition all together as some have suggested, is the Conservative former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, and Ben Zaranko, associate director at the think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and Jeevun Sandher, a Labour MP and former member of the Treasury Select Committee.To sign up for our newsletters click hereAnd to submit your nomination for this year's Women in Westminster: The 100 list, click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

Despite repeated assurances that Labour would not break its election manifesto by hiking income tax, it appears it is now under consideration by the Chancellor in the Autumn Budget. Why is Rachel Reeves mulling over this U-turn, how much would it cost us, and would she really dare to do it?   This is Money's Angharad Carrick, Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss. Speculation over a 'mansion tax' in the Budget has also reared its head again. The team discuss whether it's a good idea to tax people with pricey homes, and how on earth HM Revenue & Customs would decide whether someone's house is worth more than £2million or not. Elsewhere, some good news in store, as Goldman Sachs has predicted the Bank of England will cut interest rates at its meeting next week. Does fading inflation and sluggish growth mean this is now on the cards, and would the Bank dare to make a move before the Budget beast is unleashed? The team discuss. They also look at why we're now paying three times the energy standing charges we were six years ago, and why some chocolate biscuits can no longer call themselves chocolate.

Today's episode was one of those mornings - a mix of laughter, real talk, and powerful insight. The team kicked off with their usual chaos and banter before grounding the show with a special guest whose perspective took things deeper.Guest: Ifá Practitioner & EducatorOur guest broke down the spiritual foundation of Ifá - the West African system of knowledge and divination that predates colonial religion. He explored:The connection between Ifá, ancestry, and purpose.How Western narratives have distorted African spiritual systems.The discipline and ritual involved in authentic practice versus pop-culture appropriation.The idea that Ifá isn't “mysticism,” but philosophy - one rooted in self-knowledge, destiny, and community balance.Black History Month SpotlightThe team also celebrated Una Marson, Jamaica's pioneering poet and the BBC's first Black female producer - connecting her legacy to the broader theme of reclaiming our narratives and honouring those who paved the way.Main Debate: Should Influencers Need Qualifications?When China announced a law requiring degrees for influencers who speak on professional topics, the table exploded with opinion.Gina made a case for accountability in health and fitness content.Shadie defended lived experience as a valid form of expertise.Chinx brought humour that somehow tied colourism, culture, and content creation all into one wild ride.What followed was a sharp, necessary clash about information, influence, and integrity.HeadlinesPrince Andrew stripped of titles amid Epstein fallout.Rachel Reeves faces backlash over housing violations.Trump administration limits refugees, prioritising white South Africans.UK pledges £2.5 m aid to Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa.Closing EnergyFrom reflection to laughter, this one flowed like only TDA can - bridging spirit, culture, and conversation into a morning that felt bigger than news.

Today, Rachel Reeves rental arrangements came into question, after it emerged her rental property didn't have the correct licence required by the local council. Adam is joined by Newsnight's Nick Watt to discuss how the story about the Chancellor's rental property has unfolded throughout the day. Later on Thursday, Rachel Reeves's letting agent released a statement apologising for not getting the necessary licence for her property - but does the Chancellor still have questions to answer? Adam and Nick pick through the statements and emails that have emerged. Plus, Adam is joined by BBC China Correspondent Laura Bicker, and Economics Editor Faisal Islam to discuss Thursday morning's bilateral trade meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping in Korea. What's the relationship between the superpowers now, what was secured, for how long, and what will the economic impact be?You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

No one likes being unpopular, so you could forgive both of the UK's main political parties for wanting to look away when another damning poll dropped this week. Support for both parties has never been so low at the same time, the Green party is seeing record support and Reform UK continues to top the popularity contest. Does recent polling really suggest the end of the two-party hegemony? King of the pollsters John Curtice helps Politics Weekly UK read the runes. And, in the run-up to the budget next month, Keir Starmer has given the strongest indication yet that tax rises may be on the way, while immigration dominates headlines and the escaped sex offender whose case sparked protests at the Bell hotel in Epping is sent back to Ethiopia – with £500 in his back pocket. Pippa Crerar is joined by the Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff to discuss the government's game of immigration whack-a-mole and the consequences Labour could face if it breaks its manifesto pledge not to raise key taxes..

Tim is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg to discuss wheter Rachel Reeves be forced to resign after admitting to not having a licence to rent out her home. Jacob also takes aim at the Chancellor's plans for a 2p rise in income tax, calling it “desperately unfair on what Labour likes to call working people”.They're also joined in the studio by Camilla Turner, Sunday Telegraph political editor, whose months-long investigation into a care home in Salisbury, Wiltshire details a litany of allegations of abuse of extremely vulnerable patients.We want to hear from you!

Calls For Rachel Reeves To Be Sacked Plus: Wilders' far-right party and centrist D66 tie in Dutch elections, is the Labour Party dead? And the ‘Your Party' drama continues. With: @NoJusticeMTG & Dalia Gebrial

It's another housing scandal for a senior Labour minister, as it emerged last night that Rachel Reeves broke the law by renting out her family home without a licence. Keir Starmer met with his ethics advisor last night and appears to be satisfied with the Chancellor's apology, but is she in the clear? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Keir Starmer has weathered one of the most brutal weeks of his tenure. The Caerphilly by-election collapse, a divisive Deputy Leadership election, and the mistaken release of a high-risk prisoner have ignited leadership speculation and exposed deep party tensions. Ed Balls and George Osborne debate where it's all gone wrong, and whether Starmer can hold on.The pair then look ahead to the Budget and Rachel Reeves's fiscal black hole. Can she uphold Labour's 'tax lock' manifesto pledge, or will she be forced to raise one of the 'big three' taxes? Ed and George analyse a choice that could be make-or-break for the government.Finally, they dive into Donald Trump's whirlwind Asia tour. Following his major summit with Xi Jinping, they ask: is his tariff doctrine a chaotic madman theory, or is it successfully strong-arming new 'America First' trade deals?Thanks for listening.

Rachel Reeves admits breaking housing rules after failing to get a licence to rent out her Dulwich home, but Keir Starmer says an apology is enough. A penny for Angela Rayner's thoughts - she too claimed she was wrongly advised - the prime minister and his Chancellor face a nervous morning to see the reaction. Plus, Sam's been inside the Spectator Awards, where Lucy Powell and Shabana Mahmood jovially took aim at some of their Labour colleagues - and Nigel Farage vowed to take on Westminster's elite.

Andy Burnham recently said that the government is ‘in hock to the bond markets', and the political turbulence of the past few years, not least the downfall of Liz Truss following her ‘mini-budget', would seem to back this up. But the bond markets are only part of the picture: the actions of the Bank of England and the fiscal rules a government sets for itself also play significant roles in the decisions a chancellor can make. In this episode James is joined by former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane and Daniela Gabor, professor of economics at SOAS, to consider why governments are so afraid of ‘bond vigilantes' and the increasing influence of central banks on policy since the financial crisis of 2008. Should the Bank of England remain independent? And what room for manoeuvre does Rachel Reeves have in her budget next month?

Today Chancellor Rachel Reeves has insisted Britain can “defy” economic forecasts as she prepares to deliver another tough budget next month. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is expected to deal the Chancellor a further blow in November by downgrading its productivity forecasts for the British economy, leaving her trying to fill a gap in her plans of more than £20 billion. Some top economists have warned Reeves that increasing income tax or reducing public spending is her only option for balancing the books. We're joined by Chaitanya Kumar, Head of Economy and Environment at the New Economics Foundation.And in part two, The Good Food Guide has named the Pelican as London's best pub. The Standard's Restaurant Critic and Going Out Editor David Ellis is here with the latest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Chancellor's on manoeuvres – talking in a new interview about “necessary choices” around the budget. Rachel Reeves says she needs to be “candid” and doesn't want to “simply accept” forecasts – but to “defy them”. With four weeks to go to the budget, Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy ponder what she might be up to. They also have some sums on how the government might fill a black hole coming in above £30bn. Will Labour manifesto pledges be breached?Elsewhere, Keir Starmer chooses a Labour veteran to lead their election campaigns next May. Spencer Livermore will take on the task.

In this episode of Talking Politics, Tom Bradby and political editor Robert Peston analyse the Chancellor's dwindling options for her upcoming budget and predict the impact of the decisions she might make. They discuss how Rachel Reeves will fill that multi-billion-pound hole in the country's finances, whether she will increase income tax despite previous promises not to, and how she can hold onto the country's highest tax bracket.Got a question for the team? Email talkingpolitics@itv.com

There are reports that the OBR will downgrade Britain's productivity growth forecasts, increasing the size of the black hole facing the Chancellor at the end of the month. This continues the spate of bad news for the Chancellor on the economy – but can we trust the figures? James Heale and Michael Simmons join Patrick Gibbons to talk about what this means ahead of the budget, whether anger over the money wasted on asylum hotels can be linked to the cost-of-living crisis and what Rachel Reeves is doing in Saudi Arabia this week.Plus: is a debate over the customs union really what Britain wants right now?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

With every new poll predicting a Reform win at the next general election, the party continues its preparation for government. James Heale joins Oscar Edmondson and Tim Shipman to talk about his article in the magazine looking at what – or who – is shaping Reform's intellectual revolution. Cambridge intellectual James Orr, close friend to J.D. Vance, has recently joined as an adviser, following in the footsteps of recent defector Danny Kruger, who was widely seen as an intellectual heavyweight on Conservative benches. Tim also discusses his piece looking at the narrative Rachel Reeves is trying to set ahead of next month's budget. Tim says she has four audiences and is trying to direct the blame elsewhere – namely at the Conservatives. But, with no end in sight for Britain's economic doom loop – and as Farage tries to boost the economic credibility of Reform, could voters start to look elsewhere for some shock medicine?Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

From rising unemployment to weak public finances, the UK economy is in the doldrums and there's pressure on chancellor Rachel Reeves to fix it.

Rachel Reeves is thinking about increasing taxes - perhaps even breaking Labour's manifesto commitment not to raise income tax.The political masterminds discuss what that would mean for the government's electoral fortunes, and whether they could end up like George HW Bush - who famously said 'Read my lips: no new taxes', only to do exactly that.We also look at the pressure on Labour from Zack Polanski's Green Party, whether the government 'grid' of daily announcements has had its day, and which prime minister played the most musical instruments?Send your questions, comments and views on marmite to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

As Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares for a tough Budget, a new narrative is emerging: it's all Brexit's fault. Ed Balls and George Osborne examine whether the 'Brexit blame game' is a smart political strategy or a 'backward-looking excuse' that voters won't buy. And they discuss if it's too late for Labour to build a compelling economic story.Then, the pair dive into the 'appalling' turmoil inside Keir Starmer's No. 10. Are 'staggering' and 'juvenile' briefings against the new Cabinet Secretary a sign of a government in chaos? And as the Prince Andrew saga dominates the headlines, they debate the 'endgame' for the Senior Royal and why George believes it's time for the Prime Minister to step in.Plus, with George reporting from San Francisco, the pair give their take on the AI boom.
