Drawing on experience from across the UK fire and rescue sector, the session examines how organisations can move beyond simple compliance to develop truly competent, confident and adaptable incident commanders capable of operating in complex, high-risk aviation environments. The discussion covers command competence, behavioural assessment, interoperability, decision making under pressure and the importance of continuous professional development through realistic training, simulation and structured review. This presentation challenges organisations to think critically about how command capability is developed, assessed and maintained within modern emergency response environments.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HERELearn about AFOA HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE Please check out our Partners supporting this episode areWilliam Wood Watches - Discount code FFPODCAST gives the user 10% off full range on websitePBI high-performance fabrics FIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsGORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

British politics has moved at a rapid pace the last week, with Andy Burnham securing his root to parliament, Wes Streeting reigniting Brexit debates, and a defiant No. 10 fighting on through all of it. Ed Balls and George Osborne examine the leadership race, the manoeuvres being made by Streeting to court the Labour faithful and how Burnham is having to campaign on two fronts. Why is the cabinet silent? Is Starmer right to cling on? Will the King of the North be coronated should he return to parliament? What if he loses? The pair then examine the economic prospectus of both Burnham and Streeting, contrasting it with the cost of living support announced by Rachel Reeves today. They detail the limitations of any government to combat inflation, the holes in plans both contenders have spoken of and the risk a governing party faces openly debating policy like this.Finally, they take a trip across the Atlantic to California and the final stages of the gubernatorial primary. George's mate Steve Hilton has maintained his frontrunner status amidst a split Democratic field, but can he actually win come November? The odds are stacked against him, but Ed and George caution not to count him out.We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question or send a question to our social media handles:

De druk op Starmer om plaats te maken voor de zevende premier in tien jaar tijd, neemt per dag toe. Zeker nu twee enthousiastelingen zich officieel kandidaat hebben gesteld. Wes Streeting, de inmiddels afgetreden minister van volksgezondheid, wier naam al rondzong maar die tijdens de kabinetsraad zijn kaken stijf op elkaar hield, heeft zich alsnog kandidaat gesteld voor het premierschap. Ook Andy Burnham, de burgemeester van Manchester heeft zich kandidaat gesteld. Voor hem is zelfs een speciale constructie bedacht om het premierschap überhaupt mogelijk te maken. Nu het onderzoek naar belastingfraude door Angela Rayner is afgerond en de belastingdienst haar niets verwijt, lijkt de weg naar 10 Downing Street voor Ms Rayner helemaal vrij. Zal zij een gooi doen naar het premierschap? Van het debacle van Starmer naar het debacle in Wenen: Tijdens de Eurovisiesongfestival afgelopen zaterdag werd het Verenigd Koninkrijk allerlaatste. Hoe komt het toch dat het VK, dat vroeger zeer succesvol was, inmiddels al jarenlang minimale punten weet te bemachtigen? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

Your morning briefing.

Genealogist Brian Nash sits down with Laurie Langford to unravel a jaw-dropping family secret hidden within the history of Prince Edward Island. When Laurie began researching her great-grandfather, Benjamin Isaac Rayner, she expected to find standard genealogical records. Instead, she uncovered the scandalous life of a wealthy pioneer in PEI's highly lucrative silver fox industry.From cornering the market with the secretive "Big Six Combine" to leaving a trail of faked bankruptcies and Supreme Court battles, Rayner's life was anything but ordinary. Laurie shares the unvarnished truth about her ancestor, detailing the first divorce on the Island dissolved by an Act of Parliament, a devastating 1931 car accident that created lasting Canadian case law, and the story of how he won Nantucket real estate in a high-stakes poker game.It's a fascinating exploration of wealth, historic Canadian scandals, and the reality that the "black sheep" of the family often leaves behind the most compelling paper trail.In this episode, we cover:The Big Six Combine: How six men kept their silver fox breeding methods—and millions of dollars—a closely guarded secret.Making Case Law: The dramatic legal fallout of a 1931 car crash and Rayner's desperate attempts to hide his wealth to avoid paying damages.A Scandalous Separation: The intense legal hurdles behind getting a divorce on Prince Edward Island in the early 20th century.The Good vs. Evil of the Fox Boom: A look at a fascinating 1933 newspaper article that perfectly captured the duality of the industry's pioneers.Resources Mentioned:A Magnificent Gift Declined by CusackThe International Fox Museum (Summerside, PEI)The Rainer Handbook (Laurie's academic project on her family's history)Connect with the Show:Website: howwegothere.caBook a Free 30-Minute Consultation: bookings.howwegothere.caListen on Spotify: How We Got Here PodcastWatch on YouTube: @HowWeGotHere

The war in the middle east has entered its third week. Tensions rose overnight when Israel hit a natural gas field in Iran, and Iran retaliated by bombing gas facilities in Qatar. The result was oil prices skyrocketing. Ed Balls and George Osborne discuss what appears to be a communication breakdown between Israel and the US, and question whether they are aligned in their respective endgames. Earlier this week the Chancellor Rachel Reeves gave the Mais lecture at the Bayes Business School. She said fiscal devolution, closer relations with Europe, AI and innovation would bring growth in the UK. But was the speech too partisan and lacking economic theory?And, Angela Rayner is back - delivering a speech criticising the government's proposed immigration reforms. Is she planning to stick the knife in Keir Starmer, à la Michael Heseltine and Margaret Thatcher, and if so - does she have the right qualifications to lead the country?

Labour is in fresh turmoil over immigration, as Angela Rayner attacks plans to make migrants wait longer for permanent settlement, and Downing Street refuses to say whether the reforms will survive.Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at spiked, for a furious takedown of Labour's latest wobble on borders, benefits and British sovereignty. As ministers flirt with watering down Shabana Mahmood's migration reforms, Brendan asks the question millions of voters are already asking: whose side is Labour actually on?He slams the political class for treating basic border control as somehow “un-British”, and warns that both Labour and the establishment still refuse to grasp the scale of the Boris-era migration ‘betrayal'. With public trust shattered and working-class communities among the hardest hit by the impacts of mass migration, is this exactly why more voters are turning to Reform UK?Also in this episode: Brendan reacts to the row over mass Islamic prayer in Trafalgar Square, the furious backlash against Nick Timothy, and the wider crisis of free speech when any criticism of Islam is instantly branded “racist” or “Islamophobic”.And Julia speaks to Tony Smith, former head of the UK Border Force, on why Britain remains powerless to remove illegal migrants and foreign criminals. He explains how the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 8 “family life” claims and weak political leadership have turned deportation into a farce — even for offenders who should plainly be removed.From small boats to soft-touch courts, this is a devastating look at why Britain still cannot defend its own borders.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

In his column this week, Tim Shipman has finally hit upon an answer to the age-old question: what is Starmerism? After a concerted effort from his team to tie the Prime Minister down to a definitive ‘-ism', he has delivered a threefold structure: firstly, the contestable claim that Labour has achieved macroeconomic stability by clinging grimly to the Chancellor's fiscal rules, which will mean interest rates and inflation fall; secondly, Starmer will say Britain needs an ‘active government' to intervene directly in retail offers; and finally, the PM will seek to tie together domestic and international policy by arguing that Britain needs ‘an active and engaged government abroad' if it is to control the cost of living at home.But is this the sort of thing that can secure his position? The rumour swirling around Westminster is that Streeting has up to 200 supporters waiting in the wings, and a straight fight between him and Angela Rayner is the most likely scenario given a poor local elections result.Tim Shipman and James Heale discuss.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Some pain does not just hurt. It reshapes how you trust, how you speak, and what you hide. In this tender episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits with author Lisa K. Raynor to explore what changes when survivors finally tell the truth. This episode is for anyone carrying trauma in silence, and for loved ones who want to support without judgment. Lisa shares how secrecy, shame, and not being believed can shape relationships and self-worth, and how small steps like writing can become a doorway to healing and helping others. About the Guest: Lisa K. Raynor is the author of Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife. She shares lived experience and reflections on survival, silence, and the non-linear path of healing. Key Takeaways: If you are not ready to share everything, start with one small safe step (journaling, a poem, a private note). Being “high-functioning” can hide deep pain; perfection is not proof you are okay. Not being believed keeps many survivors silent, so choose support carefully. Triggers can show up years later; you can “visit” dark days without living there. Shift the blame where it belongs: survivors are not responsible for what happened.
