First: an economic reckoning is looming ‘Britain's numbers… don't add up', says economics editor Michael Simmons. We are ‘an ageing population with too few taxpayers'. ‘If the picture looks bad now,' he warns, ‘the next few years will be disastrous.' Governments have consistently spent more than they raised; Britain's debt costs ‘are the worst in the developed world', with markets fearful about Rachel Reeves's Budget plans. A market meltdown, a delayed crash, or prolonged stagnation looms. The third scenario, he warns, would be the bleakest, keeping politicians from confronting Britain's spendthrift state. We need ‘austerity shock therapy' – but voters don't want it. To discuss further, we include an excerpt from a discussion Michael had with our deputy editor Freddy Gray and economist Paul Johnson for Spectator TV. Next: can the foster system survive? ‘The foster system in this country is collapsing,' Mary Wakefield warns. There around 80,000 children who need homes, but ‘a catastrophic lack of people prepared to care for them'. Every year the small pool of available foster households shrinks, with younger generations unwilling to become carers and more and more existing carers considering leaving. Mary joined the podcast to explain how bad the problem is, alongside author and full-time foster carer Rosie Lewis.And finally: the unsettling rise of DeathTokDamian Thompson highlights the rise of ‘DeathTok' – the name given to videos shared on the social media platform Tik Tok by users who are dealing with life-threatening illnesses. Ordinary young people ‘employ adult communications skills to express adolescent feelings' and share every stage of the ruthlessness of their cancer journey. The videos may upset younger uses who stumble across them, but for many this digital sense of community will prove invaluable.There is a wider question though – ‘the luxury of fading memories' says Damian, is something we lose with every advance in media technology. Can this really be a good thing?Plus: Tom Slater says that Britain is having its own gilet jaunes moment and Philip Womack reacts to the news that the Pope will be getting some flatmates.Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, I speak with Dr. Jo Burrell, Chartered Psychologist, Co-Founder of Ultimate Resilience, and named on HR Magazine's “HR Most Influential Thinker” list. Jo has just completed a survey of nearly 1,500 HR practitioners — and the findings are a wake-up call for organisations everywhere. The results? High levels of stress, exhaustion, and burnout across HR teams. These are the very people responsible for safeguarding the physical and mental health of the workforce — yet many are running on empty themselves. We explore why HR's wellbeing is a business-critical issue, the case for HR Supervision, the stigma around showing emotion at work, and how leaders can build psychologically safe workplaces for all. ----more---- Key Takeaways HR is in crisis.

With Keir Starmer proving as unpopular and unpalatable to the left as he is to the right, Jeremy Corbyn's new - and as yet untitled - political party joins Reform UK in presenting a very real threat to Labour's chances of re-election in 2029.In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner talk to Ash Sarkar - journalist, Corbyn-supporter and co-founder of left-wing media organisation Novara Media - about how that new party could form a potentially fatal electoral pact for Starmer by teaming up with the Greens in 2029.As well as her dissatisfaction at Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, she also talks about how Reform have outflanked Labour on the left with talk of nationalising utility providers like Thames Water, and why she “previously underestimated Nigel Farage” but is now “taking him a lot more seriously”.We want to hear from you!

The U.K. economy grows more than expected in the second quarter, offering some much-needed respite to Chancellor Rachel Reeves. President Trump holds productive talks with European leaders in the build up to Friday's Alaska summit, with the U.S. leader issuing a stark warning to Moscow if it does not agree to a peace deal in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Europe's Stoxx 600 hits a two-week high while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq close at all-time records, as markets price in a 100% chance of a Fed cut next month.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Speculation is rife that the upcoming Autumn budget will introduce new tax rises following expensive U-turns on welfare and slower than expected growth. Some thinktanks have suggested Rachel Reeves' next budget will need to find up to £50bn.

Money Box can exclusively reveal there has been a sharp rise in the number of people applying to have water meters fitted to try to bring their bills down. The data has been shared with this programme by the Consumer Council for Water, the CCW, the which speaks for water consumers in England and Wales. It comes after record April price rises for water with average bills rising more than £120 to over £600 per year. Cash ISAs appear to have been reprieved - at least for now. Until Friday morning there was widespread speculation that the Chancellor might announce on Tuesday that the amount you could put into a cash ISA would be slashed from £20,000, perhaps to as little as £4000. The idea was that would fit in with government plans to encourage investment by nudging people with £20,000 to spare to use the rest of their tax free ISA allowance to invest in shares instead. However, Money Box understands that won't happen - certainly not on Tuesday when Rachel Reeves gives her annual Mansion House speech to the City of London. We'll look at what that might mean.And what does a major ruling on a divorce case in the Supreme Court mean for how wealth is split between couples in the future?Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporter: Dan Whitworth Researchers: Eimear Devlin and Jo Krasner Editor: Jess Quayle(First broadcast 12pm Saturday 12th July 2025)

Some excitement on Threadneedle Street today after the Bank of England cut interest rates to 4 per cent. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has just voted five to four – after a revote – for what is the third cut this year. This takes interest rates back down to levels not seen since the beginning of 2023. Concerns about an increasingly slack labour market seem to have driven the MPC's decision.This sounds like good news – and Starmer will welcome it as such – but the Bank's apparent comfort with loosening policy in this context is baffling says Michael Simmons. Its own forecasts show inflation climbing back to 4 per cent by September – double the official target. If they're wrong, and inflation slips the leash again, it won't be brought back under control easily. This also coincides with yesterday's news that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecast that Rachel Reeves must find £50 billion of revenue or cuts if she is to return to the £9.9 billion of fiscal headroom she left herself in the spring. Are there any rays of light escaping from the black hole as we head towards autumn's Budget, or is it all gloom?Also on the podcast today: Trump's tariffs have come into effect across the world.

In a time of sluggish economic growth, the favourite way of squaring the circle of spending more but not increasing taxes is to borrow - and we have. Keeping everybody's lights on during the pandemic and homes heated after the Russian invasion of Ukraine has helped send our national debt up from £1.8 trillion to £2.8 trillion in recent years.But the question for the chancellor Rachel Reeves is how much more debt we can afford - and how much more debt do the markets think we can afford?So what's the answer to that?

This week, we're covering redundancy sacrifice into a pension, cash ISA allowance reductions, evening up finances between spouses and much more - it's another MM Q&A! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA21    00:55  Question 1 Dear Pete & Roger, My question regards Redundancy Sacrifice into a personal pension (SIPP). In tax year 2024/25, I had "relevant UK earnings" of £44,000. I contributed the full amount (inclusive of tax relief) to my SIPP; as a Personal Contribution this used up 100% of my Annual Allowance. In addition, I received a £20,000 tax-free lump sum Redundancy Payment. Because it was below £30,000, it did not constitute "relevant UK earnings", as such, I requested it be paid directly into my SIPP via "Redundancy Sacrifice". (My understanding is that it would be treated as an Employer Contribution, not benefit from tax relief and, therefore, not limited by my Annual Allowance - please correct me if wrong). However, due to an administrative error, it was paid to me. Subsequently, I transferred it to my pension provider, together with the necessary paperwork (completed Employer Contribution form and Settlement Agreement detailing the source of funds). My pension provider has rejected the transfer designating it as a Personal Contribution because it was made from my personal bank account. Q. Does HMRC require Redundancy Payments be paid from business bank accounts? My understanding is that the rules are different from normal Salary / Bonus Sacrifice. (Disclaimer: I understand that in answering my question you are not providing financial advice). Kind regards, Ross 07:00  Question 2 Hi, There's increasing headlines that Rachel Reeves might be planning reforms to reduce cash ISA allowances from 20k to 4k. My understanding is that this will only affect new ISA's so for me and my wife we can continue to invest 20k per year maximum. Is this assumption correct? My main question though is planning for my kids. If they don't yet have any ISA open - what is the best way to start them off to hold onto the 20k annual allowance for potentially accessing cash

Send us a textThe pendulum swings wildly from political upheaval to celebrity downfalls in this packed episode examining how power, race, and identity shape our experiences in an increasingly chaotic world.Jeremy Corbyn's dramatic political resurrection with his new "Your Party" has sparked hope for those disillusioned with mainstream UK politics, gaining 200,000 members overnight and highlighting the desperate need for genuine representation. Meanwhile, the shocking ethnicity pay gap statistics revealed by Dawn Butler MP (23.8% less for minorities in London) expose the hollow promises of workplace equality without accountability.The stark contrast between Rachel Reeves' tearful parliamentary moment and Diane Abbott's relentless scrutiny perfectly illustrates the unspoken rules of emotional expression for Black women in public life. We're permitted no vulnerability, no softness – a reality that extends from Parliament to corporate boardrooms, where "jokes" at our expense are weapons disguised as humor.Sean Combs conviction serves as a sobering reminder of how power corrupts and silences victims, while Marcus Fakana's imprisonment in Dubai shows how quickly young Black lives can be destroyed when race, culture, and vindictiveness collide. These stories aren't isolated incidents but threads in the same tapestry of inequality.The episode concludes by examining how even financial success comes with hidden penalties through the "HENRY" phenomenon – where high earners face diminishing returns through aggressive taxation without corresponding benefits. It all points to a system designed to maintain imbalance rather than create true opportunity.Ralph Lauren - Oak Bluffshttps://youtu.be/UOT8CUBpERE?si=v-k98k9oNBSHqWGrReferenced Diane Abbott Interviewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMuBazWdE1ICandace Owenhttps://www.youtube.com/live/FDOnxpViQxY?si=7OhdCqQKbLigratghttps://www.youtube.com/live/PKKLk57tcLs?si=FzAcSzmotlK-ZPKGSponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

The former home secretary, Suella Braverman, is the special guest on today's edition of The Daily T.The Conservative MP and ex-attorney general explains why she thinks it's time for the UK to leave the ECHR, how it's thwarted our ability to control our borders and undermines the sovereignty of Parliament.Braverman also talks through the frustration she experienced at being “powerless” whilst running the Home Office amid a “lack of political will” to get a grip on illegal migration. She also takes aim at former prime minister Rishi Sunak's “broken promises” on stopping the boats, and outlines why there could be “some truth” in Nigel Farage's belief that Britain is on the verge of societal collapse.The former home secretary also explains why she remains committed to the Conservatives despite there still being “arrogance and complacency” within the party, as well as why she feels no sympathy for Rachel Reeves and her belief that Keir Starmer is “incompetent” and “a fool”.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanEditor: Camilla TomineyStudio Operator: Meghan SearleProduction assistance from James Keegan Hosted on Acast.

One of the gravest security lapses in UK history came to light this week after a judge lifted a superinjunction on a catastrophic data leak that could have affected 100,000 Afghans, as well as British spies and special forces members. Political Fix's Lucy Fisher, one of the journalists who broke the story, returns to the show to talk with host George Parker about how the FT uncovered the secret scheme, the superinjunction that was imposed on her, and the political fallout from the exposé. And the FT's Jim Pickard and Ashley Armstrong join to discuss the reaction to Rachel Reeves' Mansion House speech, as well as Keir Starmer's suspension of more MPs.

The Afghan data leak – and the unprecedented superinjunction which followed – has dominated the week in Westminster. The FT's Lucy Fisher – whose reporting has led coverage of the story – joins the podcast team to discuss who is to blame and what this episode tells us about how the state reacts when mistakes are made.   The story knocked Rachel Reeves off the front pages, but the chancellor has made a big speech this week. We'll check in with what she had to say.   Plus: The government has just set out some new reforms on voter ID, electoral fraud and, most eye-catching of all, on lowering the voting age. The Inside Briefing team give their instant reaction.   Catherine Haddon presents. With Gemma Tetlow and Alex Thomas. Produced by Candice McKenzie. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last night, Rachel Reeves was the headline act at the Mansion House dinner. In her speech, she made the case that ‘Britain is open for business' and that we must ‘stay competitive in the global economy'. Critics would say it is hard to claim to be open for business while having also overseen a £25 billion national insurance tax raid that is now known to be costing thousands of jobs.She began by stressing that, despite what recent reporting might suggest, she is ‘okay' – the economic indicators, however, suggest that the economy is far from okay. Just this morning, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that inflation hit 3.6 per cent in the year to June – well above the 2 per cent target.On this special edition of Coffee House Shots, James Heale and Michael Simmons are joined by shadow chancellor Mel Stride, who offers his prescription for Britain's ailing economy. He outlines how he would have conducted the speech at Mansion House, how he will spend the recess with business leaders of all descriptions in 'listening mode', and why – when it comes to the big institutions such as the OBR, the Treasury and the Bank of England – he ‘isn't ruling anything out'.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.We are hosting a Coffee House Shots live tomorrow (15th July) at The Emmanuel Centre in Westminster.

Hace un año Keir Starmer se convirtió en primer ministro tras ganar con mayoría absoluta las elecciones. Durante sus años en la oposición diagnosticó acertadamente los males del Reino Unido: una percepción de estancamiento, retroceso y decadencia nacional. Prometió restaurar la prosperidad y la esperanza mediante reformas moderadas y pragmáticas, no excesivamente ambiciosas, pero con metas concretas. Esta estrategia le permitió acceder al poder con una mayoría parlamentaria abrumadora. Una vez en el Gobierno, Starmer presentó su "Plan para el Cambio” enfocado en objetivos tangibles. El primero era la estabilidad económica, con baja inflación y finanzas públicas sólidas. Sin embargo, un año después, la inflación se mantiene casi un punto y medio por encima del objetivo del 2%. Los rendimientos de los bonos estatales a diez años han alcanzado máximos no vistos en dos décadas, y los laboristas han revertido los recortes que anunciaron en prestaciones sociales para cuadrar el presupuesto. En materia de seguridad fronteriza ha habido algún avance parcial. La migración neta se ha reducido a la mitad, aunque esto era previsible tras el pico de 2023. Starmer ha endurecido la política migratoria y se ha comprometido a reducir la cola de solicitantes de asilo pendientes. Para 2029, aspira a eliminar el uso de hoteles para alojarlos y planea repatriar a los rechazados. No obstante, los esfuerzos por desmantelar las redes de traficantes de personas han sido infructuosos: en 2024, 43.000 migrantes cruzaron el Canal en pateras, un 38% más que el año anterior. Donde Starmer ha brillado más es en el ámbito internacional. Ha proyectado una imagen de estadista consumado, se ha hecho incluso a Donald Trump, ha mejorado las relaciones con la Unión Europea y ha revisado la política de defensa. El Gobierno planea elevar el gasto en defensa del 2,3% al 2,6% sobre el PIB para 2027, con aspiraciones de llegar al 3,5% en 2035. Pero el eje central de su agenda, la economía, no ha despegado. Desde las elecciones, el crecimiento ha sido de un modesto 0,8%. La decisión de la canciller de Hacienda, Rachel Reeves, de aumentar las cotizaciones empresariales a la seguridad social en octubre fue duramente criticada, al igual que un proyecto de ley sobre derechos laborales, que ha generado descontento en el sector privado. Otro desafío pendiente es la vivienda. Los laboristas se propusieron construir 1,5 millones de nuevas viviendas en cinco años, pero hasta ahora solo se han levantado algo más de 200.000. Un proyecto de ley de planificación urbana avanza lentamente en el Parlamento y podría impulsar la construcción a largo plazo, pero no resuelve el problema de forma inmediata. En sanidad, el compromiso era mejorar el Servicio Nacional de Salud (NHS) poniendo el énfasis en la prevención, altas hospitalarias más rápidas y adopción de la inteligencia artificial. Pero las listas de espera para especialistas no han disminuido. En cuanto a la delincuencia, Starmer prometió reforzar la policía, lo que se está implementando, pero las estadísticas de criminalidad permanecen prácticamente idénticas a las de hace un año. La política energética también presenta luces y sombras. El secretario de Energía, Ed Miliband, levantó la moratoria sobre turbinas eólicas terrestres, ha aprobado grandes proyectos solares y ha creado GB Energy para posicionar al Reino Unido como superpotencia en energías limpias. El ambicioso objetivo es que el 95% de la electricidad provenga de fuentes bajas en carbono para 2030, frente al 58% actual. La operadora de la red nacional ha advertido que esto no es realista. Mientras tanto, las facturas de la luz siguen siendo elevadas para los consumidores. En resumen, tras un año en el poder, Starmer parece haber desperdiciado gran parte de su impulso inicial. A pesar de su amplia mayoría parlamentaria, su posición es más frágil de lo aparente: obtuvo solo el 32% de los votos, su popularidad está en mínimos históricos, y la derecha, aunque fragmentada, ha ganado terreno significativo. Con cuatro años por delante, el Gobierno laborista debe acelerar reformas para evitar que la percepción de crisis persista.

Donate to support the podcast There's been a lot of missing in action in this week's podcast. Where is the Scottish government and the SNP when an energy supplier, Octopus, calls for zonal pricing that would give Scotland the cheapest energy in Europe? They're kind of missing in action. We talk about the latest proposals by Rachel Reeves, which looks like a bonfire of the regulations on the banking sector, which kind of prompted all the chaos post 2008.Is that really going to be such a great advance? And back to Israel and Palestine, some shocking admissions, about the connections between the current Labour government and trips to Israel that were not declared by MPs.

Pippa Crerar and Kiran Stacey look at how Rachel Reeves will try to reassure her party and the country about the state of the economy in a major speech this week. Also, how does the government plan to convince the public – and other MPs – to embrace net zero measures? Plus, as details of Donald Trump's second state visit are confirmed, why won't he be addressing the UK parliament?. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/politicspod

Keir Starmer will have been hoping for a more relaxed week – but he certainly won't be getting one. He is facing a fresh rebellion over support for children with special educational needs (SEND), which threatens to become welfare 2.0.The plan involves overhauling the SEND system and it's another case of Labour MPs exclaiming that they didn't stand on a Labour ticket just to target the most vulnerable in society. The main concern among backbenchers is whether it should be legally enforceable for parents to ensure their children receive bespoke support. Elsewhere, all roads lead to the Treasury, as Neil Kinnock has a solution for increasing Rachel Reeves's headroom: a wealth tax. It's the idea that never seems to go away – but will it just increase the number of billionaires fleeing the country?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Yields on British government bonds rose and sterling fell amid worries that Rachel Reeves, the finance minister, had lost the prime minister's support.

Today Wes Streeting – with the help of Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves – announced his 10 year plan for curing the NHS. It's all about creating a ‘Neighbourhood Health Service', but what does actually mean in practice? Much of the plan was leaked in advance: first, focusing on preventing disease before it becomes too late; second, improving community healthcare services to help reduce pressure on hospitals; and third, embracing the tech revolution to bring the NHS into the ‘digital age'. One of the glaring omissions is a chapter on how this will all be delivered.Perhaps the most notable part of today's launch was the decision to include Rachel Reeves – last seen in the Commons looking distraught as the Prime Minister (brutally) failed to back her. He has since thrown his support behind her – but has he made his political bed? Are Starmer and Reeves codependent?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Lucy Dunn and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Today, Rachel Reeves was visibly upset at Prime Minister's Questions.Her team say it was a personal matter, and there are also reports of an argument with the speaker. Adam and Chris look at what's been going on amidst mounting criticism of the chancellor's handling of the welfare cuts. Plus, Sean ‘Diddy' Combs has been found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking his ex partner Cassie Ventura and another woman. The US rapper was found guilty of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution relating to both women. Crowds gathered outside the courthouse in New York to hear the verdict. Adam is joined by the host of the Diddy on Trial podcast, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty who's been following the trial. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
