As it's the summer break, we've taken the opportunity to reflect on Senedd politics over the last three months since that seismic election in May. Plaid Cymru made history becoming the largest party, Reform came from nothing to being official opposition and the former big beasts in Welsh politics were decimated. From Plaid Cymru, Chief Whip and Cabinet Member for Culture and Sport Heledd Fychan joins us in the studio. Cai Parry-Jones, Reform's finance spokesperson gives his take on how things are going so far for his party. And Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat MSs, Andrew RT Davies, Jayne Bryant and Jane Dodds reflect on the terrible result for them and how they've managed in the new, enlarged Senedd. Also joining James Williams in the studio, political correspondent Cemlyn Davies with his analysis.

Könnt ihr euch noch an die sehr große Diskussion über Milchpreise erinnern, die wir vor ein paar Jahren hatten? Damals ging es darum, dass Bäuerinnen und Bauern nicht von ihrer Arbeit leben können, weil sie ihre Milch nicht zu einem Preis an die Molkereien verkaufen können, der ihre tatsächlichen Produktionskosten deckt. Dieses Problem haben nicht nur Landwirt:innen in Deutschland, sondern weltweit. Auf EU-Ebene gibt es die sogenannte UTP-Richtlinie, die unfaire Handelspraktiken in der Agrarlieferkette regulieren soll. Sie gilt, wenn einer der beiden Handelspartner (also der Landwirt oder der Einkäufer) in der EU ihren Sitz haben. So ist es zum Beispiel verboten, Aufträge sehr kurzfristig zu stornieren. Diese Richtlinie wird aktuell von der EU überarbeitet. Fairtrade will diese Gelegenheit nutzen und richtet sich deshalb mit einem Appell an unseren Landwirtschaftsminister Alois Rainer. Sie fordern, dass Rainer sich bei der Reform der UTP-Richtlinie für die Aufnahme der Zahlung von Preisen unterhalb der Kostendeckung auf schwarze Liste einsetzen soll. Welche Folgen das hätte, das erklärt Claudia Brück im Interview. Sie ist Vorständin für Politik und Kommunikation bei Fairtrade Deutschland. Den Appell zum Unterschreiben findet ihr hier: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/landwirtschaft-braucht-fairness Wenn ihr Lust habt, euer Geld ganz konkret in Projekte mit Mehrwert bei bettervest zu investieren, dann nutzt gerne meinen Code FAIRQUATSCHT25.

The eighth and final episode in a series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This last installment picks up with the 2014 election of Joko Widodo, or Jokowi, to the presidency. That promise was soon betrayed, laying the groundwork for the rise of Prabowo Subianto, a scion of Suharto who represents nearly everything repugnant about the New Order regime. And yet Prabowo's rule remains beset by contradiction and controversy — and Indonesia's political future remains uncertain. Featuring Rianne Subijanto, Made Supriatma, Iqra Anugrah, and Farabi Fakih.

For this week's Edition, Lara Prendergast is joined by The Spectator's columnist Rory Sutherland, political editor Tim Shipman and drinks editor Jonathan Ray.This week: What has been the damage of Labour's punitive war on private education? Rory questions whether the sector had helped itself in the years prior, but did the policy itself ever represent more than ‘class warfare?' Tim explores the vigour to which the (now former) Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson embraced that label, whilst Jonathan reflects on ‘canny approaches' to game the system.Also: Election? What election? The panel discuss rumours that the PM may call an early general election in the wake of the ‘Burnham bounce' in the polls giving Labour a narrow lead over Reform. If not, how does he escape the straitjacket of the 2024 manifesto? Rory further explains how government has been transformed from a ‘policeman to a traffic warden,' and gives Burnham his top tips for an easy re-election. Plus: The death doulas movement. To what extent does this growing trend – of which figures such as Caroline Lucas, Davina McCall and Nicole Kidman are now subscribers – represent a broader point of death positivity, or in the end, is it all just ‘mumbo jumbo?'

PBM Reform Podcast Sponsored by American Pharmacy Cooperative, Inc. (APCI) Host: Greg Reybold Special Guest: Ben Mudd, PharmD, Executive Director, Kentucky Pharmacists Association   Momentum for meaningful pharmacy benefit manager reform is building in Washington.   In this episode of the PBM Reform Podcast, host Greg Reybold welcomes Dr. Ben Mudd, Executive Director of the Kentucky Pharmacists Association, to examine the bipartisan Pharmacists Fight Back Act, H.R. 6610, and what its advancement could mean for patients, pharmacists, employers, and the future of independent pharmacy.   On July 22, 2026, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform reported the legislation favorably following a committee markup. Introduced by Chairman James Comer of Kentucky and Representative Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, the bill would establish new requirements for pharmacy benefit managers participating in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.   The proposed reforms would require participating PBMs to provide fair pharmacy reimbursement, apply manufacturer rebates toward reducing beneficiaries' prescription drug costs, prohibit patient steering to PBM-affiliated pharmacies, increase transparency, and establish penalties for noncompliance.   Greg and Ben discuss why the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program could become an important proving ground for broader PBM accountability and how federal action may influence commercial plans, state legislation, and future healthcare policy.   Episode Discussion   The conversation explores:   Why H.R. 6610 has attracted bipartisan support How PBM reimbursement practices threaten independent pharmacy sustainability The impact of patient steering and PBM-affiliated pharmacy networks Why manufacturer rebates should directly reduce patients' prescription costs What “fair reimbursement” must include to protect pharmacy access How enforcement provisions and financial penalties could improve accountability Kentucky's role in advancing pharmacy and PBM reform The connection between federal legislation and state-level advocacy What pharmacists should communicate to legislators and patients The remaining steps required before H.R. 6610 can become law   Dr. Mudd brings the perspective of a practicing community pharmacist and association executive who has worked extensively in pharmacy advocacy. A graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, he practiced in both chain and independent pharmacy settings before assuming leadership of the Kentucky Pharmacists Association.   Ben is running for Kentucky State Senate position this November. Lear more about his platform and issues most important: https://www.votemudd.com/meet-ben   Key Takeaway   PBM reform is no longer simply an industry debate. It is a patient-access, healthcare-affordability, pharmacy-choice, and community-infrastructure issue.   The Pharmacists Fight Back Act represents a significant federal effort to separate PBM compensation from practices that may increase drug costs, restrict patient choice, and financially disadvantage independent pharmacies. The legislation's advancement is an important milestone—but pharmacists must remain informed, engaged, and vocal as the bill moves through the legislative process.   Subscribe to the PBM Reform Podcast for continuing coverage of legislation, regulation, litigation, and advocacy shaping the future of pharmacy benefit management and community pharmacy.   The PBM Reform Podcast is sponsored by American Pharmacy Cooperative, Inc., supporting independent pharmacies and advocating for a more transparent, competitive, and patient-centered prescription drug marketplace.

Andy Burnham has launched a major push to overhaul adult social care in England, seeking cross-party consensus for a new National Care Service. He has refused to rule out tax rises to fund the reforms. Michael Simmons speaks to the author and journalist David Goodhart about why social care should be reframed as prevention, whether salaries should be increased in social care and why the public isn't as worried as politicians tend to panic about.This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

(The Center Square) – State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid, D-Bridgeview, issued a statement calling for legislation he introduced to bring further ethics reform to Springfield following the unanimous vote by the Legislative Ethics Commission to release an investigation report into former Rep. Harry Benton, who was accused of sexual harassment. Rashid's House Bill 3562 would bring the Legislative Inspector General's authority in releasing publicly details of an investigation without the approval of lawmakers or a significant delay. House Minority Leader Tony McCombie and House GOP members have continued to call for Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch to consider similar ethics reform proposals introduced by Republican members, while questioning if Welch followed ethics rules already in place.

This year marks 20 years since the founding of Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP), and we sat down with chair Dr Alastair MacGilchrist and founding member Dr Lesley Graham to trace its history – from spotting Scotland's alcohol death rate spiralling in the early 2000s, to becoming a driving clinical voice behind the world's first minimum unit pricing law.We hear how SHAAP built the evidence base for MUP, why it took six gruelling years of industry legal challenges before the policy finally came into force, and how that fight – reputationally damaging for the drinks industry – ended up strengthening the case for other countries to follow Scotland's lead. Along the way: why medical credibility cuts through where campaigning alone doesn't, and what SHAAP has learned about outlasting a well-resourced opponent.As Dr MacGilchrist puts it:“Everything's difficult, everything takes a long time, don't lose heart.” This is a public episode.

Dank einer Kanonenkugel zum Ordensgründer. Ein Stoff für Hollywoodm, aber tatsächlich geschehen. Ignatius war das zwölfte Kind einer Adelsfamilie in Loyola.In seiner Jugend war er bis 1517 Bediensteter am Hof von Ferdinand V. von Kastilien Er war ein Lebemann, kam mit dem Gesetz in Konflikt, wurde Offizier im Dienst des Vizekönigs von Navarra und Pamplona, und sein Lebensplan war eine Karriere beim Militär. Dann zwang ihn eine steinerne Kanonenkugel, die ihn am 20. Mai 1521 bei der Verteidigung der Feste Pamplona gegen die Franzosen traf und sein Bein zertrümmerte, für lange Zeit aufs Krankenbett zuhause im Schloss von Loyola. Während seiner Genesung hat er gelesen - weil es im Schloss nichts anderes zu lesen gab - religiöse Schriften wie das „Leben Christi“ des Kartäusers Ludolf von Sachsen und die Heiligenlegenden der “Legenda Aurea“, was zu seinem Entschluss führte, sich einem geistlichen Leben zu verschreiben. In einem unglaublich energischen Kampf und Weg wird er Gründer des Jesuitenordens und betreibt sehr erfolgreich die katholische Reform in Europa. In den geistlichen Übungen entdeckt er einen Weg, den jeder Mensch gehen kann, der sich in den Dienst Gottes und der Menschen stellen will und schreibt diese Übungen in seinem Exerzitienbüchlein nieder. Ich habe ein paar Zitate gefunden, die uns Heutigen, fünfhundert Jahre später, immer noch sehr aktuelle Weisung sein können. Er sagt zum Beispiel: "Wer Seelenfrieden sucht, kann ihn nicht finden, solange er den Grund des Unfriedens in sich selbst hat." Ich glaube, das kennen viele von uns. Es gibt einen inneren Unfrieden und bis der nicht geklärt, nicht gelöst und nicht befriedet ist, kann es auch keine äußere Ruhe geben. Und vielleicht noch einen ganz konkreten Tipp für heute und jeden Tag der Woche. "Reserviere eine bestimmte Zeit für dich selbst und halte dich ruhigen Gemüts in Erfolg und Misserfolg, frei von Unruhe und Verwirrung, sowohl bei frohen als bei traurigen Anlässen."Mir scheinen das auch zwei gute Weisungen in meinen Urlaub in den nächsten drei Wochen zu sein. Es geht ja zum einen immer um Tapetenwechsel, um andere Leute, andere Städte, andere Gegenden kennen zu lernen, aber auch, um ein wenig innere Sortierung, Befreiung von Sorgen, Ängsten, Zwängen und anderen inneren Unruheherden. Ich bin gespannt und freue mich darauf und die Worte des Ignatius können mich und vielleicht auch Dich dabei gut begleiten.Sr. Katharina geht für drei Wochen in den Urlaub. Den täglichen Morgenimpuls gibt es aber dennoch, Pfarrer Stefan Wißkirchen und Vanessa Grbavac übernehmen für diese Zeit die Impulse am Morgen.

Jo and Adam unpack the extraordinary Clacton by-election, where Count Binface takes on Nigel Farage after the Reform leader resigns and re-contests his own seat, calling the election a referendum on his political credibility. As the campaign descends into surreal farce, we ask whether Count Binface is effective satire, and what happens when satire becomes an active participant in democracy?Along the way, Jo and Adam discuss French satirical magazines, the comic response to Andy Burnham's rise to the premiership, and Burnham's own use of humour on social media.And Adam shares his concept for a new spin-off solo podcast for Jo called "This Means Waugh" all about why you are wrong about things.

Social Security Commissioner and IRS Commissioner Frank Bisignano joins Lisa Boothe for an in-depth conversation about modernizing America's largest government agencies, eliminating fraud, and bringing private-sector innovation to Washington.

This week, as Britain enters its fourth heatwave amidst blazing wildfires across Europe, Coco & Nish are joined by Climate scientist and educator Simon Clark to ask: is this the new normal? They discuss rising temperatures, online misinformation, fire clouds(!) and which policies the UK government could be championing to both mitigate and adapt to a warming climate–listen up, Andy! Also on the show: as Exeter proposes 150 job cuts which are expected to fall disproportionately on the humanities, Nish speaks to his friend and staff member at Exeter University, Dr Peter J Riley.

We welcome Laurel Wales, Citizen Action's Managing Director, to the show as a guest panelist. Following the tick report, we dive into the latest developments in Wisconsin's governor primary election, including two new polls that show Francesca Hong surging into a commanding lead. How has Hong confounded the pundits and the experts to become the overwhelming favorite in the Democratic gubernatorial primary? Our panel discusses a ruling by a conservative Wisconsin Appeals Court panel upholding Act 10, overturning a district court ruling. What is the basis for their decision and will the liberal-leaning Wisconsin Supreme Court see it differently? We look at an important New report that raising the alarm bells that threat of authoritarianism is not enough to attract more working class voters to the Democrats. What are the implications for the fall elections and the fight to prevent authoritarian consolidation? We talk about why the G20 is coming to Milwaukee, in late September and debrief our visit to Superior for the Wisconsin Public Education Network's Summer Summit.

Nach monatelanger Hängepartie liegt er endlich vor: ein Gesetzentwurf zur Reform der Bundesausbildungsförderung. Alles verschiebt sich um mindestens ein halbes Jahr, die „Gleichstellung“ mit der Grundsicherung könnte zur Mogelpackung werden und obendrauf gibt es „substanziellen Sozialabbau“.

Joseph Sternberg notes Chairman Kevin Warsh is moving the Federal Reserve toward a "taciturn" style, ending the practice of "forward guidance." This reform aims to prevent the Fed from becoming locked into policies that may become inappropriate as data shifts. Sternberg suggests that saying less may protect the Fed from political conflict with the White House over tariffs. Markets must now interpret raw data rather than Fed signals. (14)1606

Henry VIII didn't break with Rome for faith. He broke with it for property.That's the part most history books leave in the margins. The standard story is that Henry wanted a divorce, Rome said no, and England broke away. But the real prize was never the marriage. It was sitting behind the monastery walls — land, silver, grain, charters, deeds — the largest concentrated wealth in England, waiting for a monarch with the administrative capacity to take it.Henry VII spent twenty-four years building that capacity. Bonds and recognizances that held roughly half the English peerage financially hostage. The Council Learned in the Law. The Chamber finance system. A government that could measure, monitor, and enforce. Then Cromwell arrived at court and recognized what his father-figure Wolsey had been extending — that the machinery pointed at the nobility could be pointed at the Church instead.The Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 catalogued every religious house in England. The Court of Augmentations was purpose-built in 1536 to process the seizure. Between 1536 and 1540, roughly £1.3 million in monastic wealth transferred to the Crown — more than Henry VII had left in the entire treasury. Henry VII built the engine. Cromwell found the target. Henry VIII pulled the lever.════════════════════════════

Send us Fan MailWhen we talk about police reform, we usually talk about body cameras, policies, accountability, or use of force. Those are important discussions, but I think we're missing something much more fundamental.What if one of the biggest police reform issues isn't what officers do?What if it's whether they're physically capable of doing the job in the first place?Let's be honest about what police work actually is.A police officer may spend most of his shift writing reports, answering calls, directing traffic, or talking to people. But that's not what defines the profession.The profession is defined by what happens on the worst day.It's defined by the foot pursuit.It's defined by the fight.It's defined by dragging someone out of a wrecked car.It's defined by wrestling with a violent suspect who has no intention of going peacefully.It's defined by sprinting across a parking lot, climbing a fence, jumping a ditch, and then making good decisions while your heart rate is 180 beats per minute.And while you're doing all that, you're carrying somewhere around forty pounds of equipment.Body armor.Firearm.Extra magazines.Radio.Handcuffs.Taser.Medical gear.Flashlight.Everything that comes on a modern duty belt.Think about that for a second.We ask officers to perform athletic feats while carrying the equivalent of a loaded backpack.In almost any other profession we would recognize that reality immediately.If I described someone whose job required running, fighting, climbing, carrying weight, making split-second decisions under stress, and performing in front of the public, most people would assume I was talking about a professional athlete.But for some reason we don't treat police officers like professional athletes.We expect athletic performance without athletic preparation.And that wasn't always the case.

Kanzler Friedrich Merz sortiert sein Kabinett neu – doch hinter den Personalien steckt weit mehr als nur ein organisatorischer Umbau. Wer genau hinschaut, erkennt ein Muster: Machtverschiebung, Kommunikationschaos und die Frage, ob die Partei überhaupt noch eine klare Linie hat. Dazu spricht Maximilian Tichy mit dem ehemaligen CDU-Politiker Arnold Vaatz. Er zeichnet das Bild einer Partei und eines Landes, das seit Jahren unter den Folgen strategischer Fehlentscheidungen leidet – von der Energiepolitik über Migration, Bundeswehr und Bildung bis hin zu einem überladenen Staatsapparat, der jede echte Reform blockiert. Vaatz warnt, dass Deutschland auf eine irreparable Krise zusteuert und dass die öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien diese Entwicklung zusätzlich absichern, indem sie Abweichler „kaputt schreiben oder kaputt senden“. Besonders scharf kritisiert er die politische Abhängigkeit der CDU und die mangelnde Bereitschaft, die eigentlichen Macht- und Strukturprobleme anzugehen: „Jeder Versuch, eine wirkliche Reform in dieser Gesellschaft zustande zu bringen, scheitert an einem völlig überladenen Wasserkopf an Beamten, die alles blockieren, was den Status quo irgendwie verändern könnte“ […]. „Alles das wird zusammengehalten, wie durch eine Schraubzwinge, durch die Grundausrichtung der öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien, die jeden sofort kaputt schreiben oder kaputt senden, der irgendwie von dem, was Sie als die politische Korrektheit definiert haben, abweicht.“ Wenn Ihnen unser Interview gefallen hat: Unterstützen Sie diese Form des Journalismus: https://www.tichyseinblick.de/unterstuetzen-sie-uns Kapitel 00:00 CDU im Umbruch: Was wirklich passiert 00:25 Thorsten Frei und die neue Fraktionslogik 03:05 Personalrochaden im Kanzleramt und Ministerium 09:53 Die innerparteilichen Spannungen 15:23 Merkel, Merz und der politische Kurs 19:03 Die tödliche Fehlentscheidung der CDU 22:41 Merz im politischen Dilemma #CDU #FriedrichMerz #ThorstenFrei #Bundesregierung #Deutschland #Politik #TichysEinblick #Innenpolitik #Personalrochade #ArnoldVaatz #AngelaMerkel #ÖRR #Energiewende #Bildungskrise Webseite: https://www.tichyseinblick.de Newsletter: https://www.tichyseinblick.de/newsletter/anmeldung/

Labour has overtaken Reform UK this week for the first time since March last year, according to polls. The ‘Burnham bounce' comes two weeks into Andy Burnham's tenure in No 10, during which he has made major announcements on the cost of living and localised education to reduce youth unemployment, and an announcement on social care is expected soon. Is this a turning point for the beleaguered Labour government – or simply a honeymoon for the new PM? Lucy Hough speaks to senior political correspondent Peter Walker. Watch on YouTube.

In this week's episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa reports from U Street and sits down with Bethany Young and Darby Hickey from the DC Justice Lab to discuss how the GOP is using Washington, DC, as a laboratory to wage a national crusade against decades of criminal justice reforms. This is part one of a two-part series.

The eighth and final episode in a series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This last installment picks up with the 2014 election of Joko Widodo, or Jokowi, to the presidency. That promise was soon betrayed, laying the groundwork for the rise of Prabowo Subianto, a scion of Suharto who represents nearly everything repugnant about the New Order regime. And yet Prabowo's rule remains beset by contradiction and controversy—and the Indonesia's political future remains uncertain. Featuring Rianne Subijanto, Made Supriatma, Iqra Anugrah, and Farabi Fakih.

What does the Oath of Office actually mean if elected officials openly campaign on dismantling the Constitution before taking it? This episode explores a constitutional question that few legal scholars have confronted, but every American should understand. Professor Nick Giordano examines a critical constitutional blind spot at the heart of the American Republic. While the Constitution provides mechanisms to address corruption and abuses of power after an official takes office, it appears to provide no clear constitutional mechanism for examining whether someone who openly rejects the constitutional order can honestly take the constitutional oath in the first place. Explore the purpose of Article VI, the meaning of constitutional fidelity, why existing Supreme Court precedent does not squarely answer this question, and why the survival of a constitutional republic ultimately depends on the character of both its leaders and its citizens. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why the Oath of Office matters: Discover why the Founders required the constitutional oath and why it serves as one of the Republic's most important safeguards. Reform vs. replacement: Learn why amending the Constitution through Article V is fundamentally different from campaigning to dismantle the constitutional order itself. A constitutional blind spot: Understand why current constitutional law appears to provide no clear mechanism for examining the sincerity of the oath before an official assumes office. Fraudulent oaths and constitutional subversion: Explore the difference between taking the oath in bad faith before entering office and using public office to undermine the constitutional system from within. Why the voters matter most: Learn why civic virtue, constitutional loyalty, and an informed electorate remain the ultimate safeguard of the American constitutional republic. Topics Covered: Oath of Office, Constitutional Oath, Article VI, United States Constitution, Constitutional Republic, Constitutional Law, Constitutional Fidelity, Supreme Court, Powell v. McCormack, Bond v. Floyd, Democratic Socialists of America, Separation of Powers, Federalism, Civic Virtue, American Government
