On Nick Ferrari at Breakfast:Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivers his speech at the Labour Party conference. Nick speaks directly with the PM in a one-to-one interview. Rachel Reeves to lift two-child benefit cap in November budgetAll this and more on Nick Ferrari, The Whole Show Podcast.

The Holyrood Sources podcast takes you inside the heart of Scottish politics. This week, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein (former Chief of Staff to Alex Salmond) and Andy Maciver (former Director of Communications for the Scottish Conservatives) discuss Labour Party Conference 2025.

This week, the Political Fix team comes to you from Liverpool — with all the news from the annual Labour Party Conference. Sir Keir Starmer struck a patriotic tone to the Labour faithful, promising to fight Nigel Farage's “politics of grievance” and build a renewed, healthy Britain “with the flag waving in our hands” — flags he was keen to reclaim from his opponents on the nationalist right.And that confident tone had also been struck by his chancellor, the day before. Rachel Reeves reaffirmed the need for economic responsibility and a willingness to take tough decisions, whilst taking pot-shots at the mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, in the wake of his thinly veiled bid for the Labour leadership last week.The prime minister arrived in Liverpool with widespread discontent over his leadership, speculation that he could face a challenge and a calamitous -54 poll approval rating. So did Starmer do enough to salvage his floundering premiership? Host George Parker is joined by Jim Pickard, Anna Gross and Stephen Bush to unpack what the annual conference might mean for the future of the Labour party — and the nation.

Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.)

Today, the Home Secretary has told Labour conference that migrants will have to prove they are contributing to society to earn the right to remain in the UK. Under the proposals, legal migrants will have to learn English to a high standard, have a clean criminal record and volunteer in their community to be granted permanent settlement status. Meanwhile, earlier in the day the chancellor Rachel Reeves warned of harder choices to come when it comes to economic choices. Adam, Alex and Chris explain the significance of both speeches.Plus, Adam is joined by chief secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones. He discusses the inner workings of Downing Street, when patriotism becomes racism and the tough choices ahead. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Labour party conference has kicked off in Liverpool, and the Chancellor has just delivered her keynote speech.‘Security, security, security' was the message from Rachel Reeves as she addressed the Labour party faithful. The Labour government, she said, will create an economy that puts the British worker above all else. Aside from setting out her economic vision, she made time for a few jabs in Manchester mayor Andy Burnham's direction and gave a nod to shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson (should we take that as an endorsement?). Has she been taking notes from Gordon Brown?Elsewhere, the mood in the bars is much more buoyant than it was last year – although that has a lot to do with the absence of Sue Gray. Starmer's change of tack and taking the fight to reform on indefinite leave to remain, as well as the announcement of some juicy bits of policy, seems to have placated many. But is conference just a holiday from reality?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

#NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourConference #UKPolitics #ReformUK #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE #Starmerout The Labour Conference is turning into the Farage Show! Keir Starmer can't stop talking about Nigel Farage — branding him “racist” and “grubby” over his call to reform right-to-remain rules. Now Rachel Reeves and David Lammy have joined in the attacks. But the reality? Farage is living rent-free in Labour's head. Latest polls show if there were an election today, Nigel Farage would be heading for Number 10. Meanwhile, Starmer risks alienating millions of voters by smearing everyone concerned about mass immigration as “racist.” To make things even messier, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is now proposing immigration rules almost identical to Farage's. So… is she a “racist” too? Join Jon Gaunt as he breaks down the chaos, the polls, and why Farage has become the unexpected star of Labour's big event. #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourConference #UKPolitics #ReformUK #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE #Starmerout #ImmigrationDebate #SmallBoatsCrisis #RachelReeves #DavidLammy #HomeSecretary #MassImmigration #LabourParty #ConservativeParty #BritishPoliticsLive #FaragevsStarmer #FarageSpeech #LabourConference #UKPolls #UKImmigrationCrisis #JonGaunt #ShabanaMahmood #LIVE Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Labour Conference, Starmer Out, UK Politics, Reform UK, Jon Gaunt, Shabana Mahmood, Live, Immigration Debate, Small Boats Crisis, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Home Secretary, Mass Immigration, Labour Party, Conservative Party, British Politics Live, Farage vs Starmer, Farage Speech, Labour Conference, UK Polls, UK Immigration Crisis, Jon Gaunt, Shabana Mahmood, LIVE This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Is she laying the ground for a brutal autumn Budget, and did she look like a chancellor secure in her job?Hugo Rifkind unpacks the speech with Joe Mayes and Megan Kenyon.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves has ruled out a UK wealth tax, while also giving one of her strongest commitments yet to abide by campaign pledges not to raise the level of several key taxes. Reeves also discussed youth guarantees, the two-child benefit cap, and child poverty with Bloomberg's Lizzy Burden at the Labour Conference in Liverpool.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rachel Reeves' big speech on the economy dominates the second day of the Labour Party conference. Ahead of the November budget, the chancellor warns that there will be harder choices and refuses to rule out tax rises. But with growth sluggish, polls tightening and Reform making gains, can Labour really deliver the change it promised?In this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murphy speaks to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury James Murray to discuss the prospect of tax rises, and how Labour plans to tackle immigration, the cost of living and the UK's growing debt.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has delivered her keynote speech to the Labour Party annual conference in Liverpool.   In an address where there were multiple standing ovations in the hall, she explained she won't take risks with the public finances and warned the UK will "face further tests, with the choices to come made all the harder by harsh global headwinds".   But were there any significant policy announcements? And does the speech signal the choices she will make in November, when her autumn budget is widely expected to include tax rises.   Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's economics editor Ed Conway to discuss the most important points from the address and what it can tell us about the economy's direction of travel.  Producer: Araminta Parker & Natalie Ktena Editor: Philly Beaumont

Rachel Reeves gets her moment in Liverpool, but Sam and Anne explain why the podium at Labour conference might be the second biggest thing of her week.  By Friday, the OBR will have put a number on the size of the black hole – the money she's got to find to fund policy u-turns on policies such as winter fuel.  You're not getting that number from anyone from government in Liverpool though.   Elsewhere, Andy Burnham is still in lots of the conversations – and we hear what members of the Cabinet are getting about him in their WhatsApps.

Labour politicians are upping their attacks on Nigel Farage and Reform UK in Liverpool. Rachel Reeves took to the conference stage to brand Farage "the single greatest threat to our way of life". And over the weekend, Keir Starmer levelled the accusation that Reform's policy on deporting migrants with indefinite leave to remain was "racist". The shift in tone is not without risk - with the tabloids already accusing the PM of labelling voters more generally who are concerned about migration as racist. But so far at party conference, cabinet ministers appear to be more comfortable defining themselves against their enemies and making the moral case for Labour in government.Is that what the party activists, and the public, need to hear? And are there still inherent contradictions with that Labour is saying about its plan in office?Later, Lewis and Jon speak to Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary also vying to be deputy leader of the party. She had a major announcement today about bringing back maintenance grants to some working class university students - and she came over to the News Agents stand to talk about that, Nigel Farage, Andy Burnham and the case she's making for deputy.

We're digging way into the archives this week for one of Empire's semi-lost treasures: the anthology film PULSE POUNDERS! Shot in 1987, the film was intended to be a package of three short films, two of which would mark the first returns to previous Empire favorites; sadly, when the company went under, the unfinished 35MM print was destroyed, and the film was thought lost until 2011, when VHS prints of two of the segments (TRANCERS: CITY OF ANGELS and THE EVIL CLERGYMAN) were discovered and re-released in an admittedly rough form. We're joined by the great Rachel Reeves of the HALLOWEENIES and LOSER'S CLUB podcasts!  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Catacombs

Matteo Turi is a finance leader, investor, and board advisor who has spent nearly two decades working with businesses at pivotal moments of growth. A former CFO across biotech, SaaS, and renewable energy, he now brings the perspective of an M&A investor, currently overseeing $480M in acquisitions. Having sat on both sides of the table — scaling ventures as an operator and evaluating deals as a buyer — Matteo helps founders understand what makes a business truly attractive to investors. Watch video - https://youtu.be/YLg51IeHLvI In 2017, he created the Global Growth Blueprint to address a gap in entrepreneurial education: wealth creation. While much financial training focuses on managing capital, Matteo emphasizes building it — through monetizing intellectual property, succession and leadership planning, and global expansion. This approach has since evolved into The High Valuation Triangle, a model he applies to the five stages of business: startup, scale-up, stagnation, crisis, and exit. He shares these insights through The Exponential Blueprint newsletter, followed by over 22,000 founders, investors, and executives. In September 2025, he will launch its premium counterpart, The High Valuation Code, alongside his forthcoming book, Fail. Pivot. Scale.: Your High Valuation Code Revealed. Drawing on 21 case studies from household names like Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, and Airbnb, the book shows how the most iconic companies turned failure into fuel, pivots into turning points, and scaling into unstoppable momentum. With lessons on recognizing the right kind of failure, pivoting without losing investors, and pulling the levers that accelerate valuation, Matteo equips entrepreneurs with a practical playbook for breaking through growth barriers.

Pensions and inheritance are at the forefront of many people's minds ahead of the Budget. In her last Budget, Rachel Reeves announced she will pull pension pots into the inheritance tax net from April 2027. Meanwhile, there are concerns that pension tax-free lump sums and inheritance tax allowances could fall victim to another raid as the Chancellor tries to balance the books again. On this special episode of the This is Money Podcast, Simon Lambert is joined by Lisa Caplan, director of Charles Stanley Direct Advice and Guidance, a regular guest in our weekly Investing Explained feature. Lisa spends her days helping customers understand how to protect their wealth, make their pension last in retirement, and importantly enjoy their hard-earned money. She discusses with Simon the questions people are asking right now about pensions and inheritance tax - and the answers she gives.

The Liberal Democrat party conference in Bournemouth has concluded with a speech from leader Sir Ed Davey. While the current crop of Liberal Democrats are the most successful third-party in 100 years, they have faced questions about why they aren't cutting through more while Nigel Farage is. It's something Davey is aware of and – hoping to exploit how divisive the leader of Reform is – he sought to pitch himself as the anti-Farage. Will it work?Plus, more bad news for the Chancellor. Labour had pledged to aim for the highest growth in the G7. New figures from the OECD did upgrade their global growth forecast, including for Britain, but projected that the UK would see the highest inflation across the G7.

How is it that we are having a conversation today about whether Nicola Willis needs to quit her portfolio because of yesterday's shock GDP number? This is crazy. What happened yesterday is not Nicola Willis's fault. It is the Reserve Bank's fault. It is not a matter of opinion. It is a fact. The Reserve Bank ratcheted up the official cash rate to slow down the economy and engineer a recession, to quote Adrian Orr. It's what he wanted to do. It is what he has actually done successfully. We now have had an enormous recession, and we are struggling to come out of that. That is not Nicola Willis's fault. Now, sure, I can lay some blame at Nicola Willis's feet. I can blame Nicola Willis for not doing enough to fix the state of the government's books.Probably not doing enough to get rundown places like Auckland Central going again, but that GDP number, that is fair and square, largely the Reserve Bank's problem, so she should not quit over what happened yesterday. However, I am prepared to admit that the fact that this discussion is even happening does speak to the enormous political pressure that she is under at the moment, because it is enormous. She is under a lot of political pressure. She is very much playing at a political disadvantage because a lot has gone wrong for her this year. Buttergate was all Nicola Willis pulling in Miles Hurrell for a chat, Gavin the cameras run after him. She created that. She has only just managed to save herself from being accused of being all talk and no action over the supermarkets, redeemed with a Hail Mary at the last minute. And for all the criticism that she lobbed Grant Robertson for spending too much, she spends more than him every single budget, and here we are two years into this administration, still waiting for their big plan as to how we turn this economy around. That is as finance minister and economic growth minister, her job, but she doesn't need to quit over what happened yesterday. Look, the bar for any minister to quit is very high, but for a finance minister, even more so. Just have a look at how badly Rachel Reeves in the UK is stuffing things up and crying in public. She is still in her job. Nicola Willis is nowhere near that, mainly because the GDP figure out yesterday is not her fault. And the fact that this is actually a discussion is somewhat mind-blowing.

This week on The Tax Factor, Rehana Earle and Ele Theochari talk about the fallout from Angela Rayner’s resignation and what it says about the complexity of the UK tax system. Was it a simple SDLT mistake or something more? They also look at Labour’s revived debate on wealth taxes and Rachel Reeves’ cautious approach to reform ahead of November’s Budget. HMRC has an increasing focus not just on the users of avoidance schemes but also on the individuals promoting them – including a barrister now in the spotlight and footballers facing hefty tax bills. And at a tribunal, one taxpayer tried the excuse that “rodents ate my receipts.” A creative attempt, but no cigar – just like the old “dog ate my homework,” it didn’t wash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La chancelière de l'Échiquier, Rachel Reeves, présentera le budget britannique fin novembre 2025. Endettement record, croissance atone et pressions sociales : le gouvernement cherche l'équilibre entre rigueur et relance. Depuis plusieurs trimestres, l'économie britannique piétine, avec une croissance autour de 1%. Dans le même temps, les taux d'intérêt restent très élevés, ce qui renchérit fortement le coût de la dette. Lorsqu'il emprunte sur trente ans, l'État doit désormais payer 5,7% d'intérêts, un niveau inédit depuis la fin des années 1990. Résultat : la charge de la dette dépasse les 100 milliards de livres par an, soit l'équivalent de deux fois le budget militaire du pays. Des engagements budgétaires difficiles à tenir Rachel Reeves s'est fixée deux règles : financer les dépenses courantes grâce aux recettes fiscales et réduire la dette publique en proportion du PIB d'ici 2029-2030. Mais la faiblesse de la croissance, une inflation persistante et la hausse des dépenses sociales creusent le déficit. Les instituts indépendants estiment qu'un « trou noir » budgétaire de 40 à 50 milliards de livres par an pourrait apparaître. Pour y faire face, la ministre exclut toute hausse des grands impôts pesant sur les ménages, ce qui alimente le scepticisme des investisseurs. Entre rigueur et relance, une équation politique délicate Le gouvernement explore plusieurs pistes : hausse ciblée de certaines taxes (propriété, capitaux, secteur bancaire, jeux), lutte contre l'évasion fiscale, adaptation des barèmes et surtout réformes structurelles pour stimuler la productivité. Mais le défi est immense: vieillissement de la population, hausse des dépenses de santé et de retraites, pouvoir d'achat en berne et consommation en recul. En attendant, Rachel Reeves retarde la présentation du budget pour éviter un faux pas, et l'ombre de l'échec de Liz Truss en 2022 plane toujours sur Downing Street.

Sean Curran reports on some tough questions for the chancellor, Rachel Reeves.

UK is SINKING under STARMER.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation  12 months after Labour's landslide victory the UK is sinking under the leadership of Keir Starmer. What a mess! The Cabinet reshuffle last week has been widely derided as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and it appears the Captain of the ship, Starmer is not at the wheel. He wanted to sack Ed Miliband. He refused to shift so the net zero nonsense continues.  Starmer moved others around but left the architect of many of his problems in position, Rachel Reeves.  He has a new Home secretary in the shape of Shabana Mahmood who is talking tough but without ripping up the ECHR and mass deportation, the UK will still hit that massive illegal immigration iceberg.  Now Starmer is talking about Digital ID cards to combat illegal working thereby penalising us all for the failure of politicians to secure our borders or control all forms of immigration.  Instead of hiding in his bunker, Starmer should address the Nation, declare a State of Emergency, apologise for the 12 months of chaos, and actually listen to the demands of the people and act upon them.  What do you think? Tell Jon Gaunt at 6.30 tonight on this live show.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation #Bordersecurity #illegalmigrants #deputyleadershipelection, Starmer, Jon Gaunt, UK Politics, Shabana Mahmood, digital id cards, deportation Border security, illegal migrants, deputy leadership election, vlog, political commentary, opinion  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt
