    Reform has spent the summer taking lumps out of itself, with the battles leaking into public view, and it's position in the polls slipping to around 25 percent. Just in time for conference season, James Heale is joined by Nick Tyrone, whose new book The Rise of Reform is the product of 18 months trailing the party's candidates and activists, to discuss whether Nigel Farage can get the show back on the road before the May 2027 local elections.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Henry LloydBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

    The bipartisan 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg) Amendments enacted extensive changes to the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that many hoped would set the law on a new course, address its widely recognized challenges, and accelerate U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) actions to address public health threats. Since then, four administrations have put their mark on implementation of the amended law. The past ten years have seemed like a roller coaster of competing legal interpretations of some of the Lautenberg Amendments' most significant provisions, scientific debate and analyses, rulemakings, delays in meeting TSCA deadlines, and major milestones. To celebrate Lautenberg's ten-year anniversary, the Environmental Law Institute, the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, and B&C convened an all-day conference: TSCA Reform -- Ten Years Later. The podcast you are about to hear is the panel discussion on risk management. This panel focuses on the past, present, and future of risk management under TSCA. With all five final risk management rules in litigation, a debate is underway over whether these rules go too far or not far enough and how much risk reduction we can expect in future rules. The panel also explores what can be learned to date from the pending cases and speculate on how the courts and EPA may reshape future TSCA Section 6 rulemakings. The panel will address recurring policy and legal issues, such as the role of Section 6 in assuring workplace protection and addressing environmental releases from facilities, as well as how EPA can keep pace with TSCA's statutory deadlines for proposed and final rules.

    Harold Wilson, Corporatism, and the Paranoia of the British Right

    In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore the life and legacy of Harold Wilson – the most successful Labour Prime Minister of the 20th century, and the man who attracted the most fevered paranoia from the British right.Wilson is often misunderstood. To the right, he was a crypto-communist, a threat to the British way of life. To some on the left, he was a betrayer of socialist ideals. The truth is more complex: Wilson was a corporatist, a believer in a managed mixed economy where private enterprise would be guided, not bullied, by the state. He wanted to break the power of the City of London, modernise British industry, and create a "producers' alliance" between manufacturing, unions, and government.This vision – modest by any standard – was met with extraordinary hostility. In the 1960s and 70s, MI5 agents plotted against him, bugged his offices, and discussed military coups. Senior civil servants sabotaged his government's plans. Newspaper barons waged campaigns of character assassination. Wilson was never a socialist, let alone a communist – but he threatened the interests of a ruling class that would not tolerate even mild reform.I draw a parallel with the current moment. The language of the British right – from the Conservative Party to Reform to various crypto-fascist fringe groups – routinely equates the basics of post-war social democracy with communism. The idea that workers should have rights, that there should be a social safety net, that there should be a public health service – these are now described as "communist ideas." This is not a new phenomenon. It is a continuation of the same paranoid tradition that sought to destroy Wilson.We also examine Wilson's attempt to create a Department of Economic Affairs to break Treasury dominance – a battle he lost, and which has echoes in Andy Burnham's current efforts to decentralise economic decision-making. The Treasury won then, and it is winning now.Topics covered:Harold Wilson as corporatistThe post-war social democratic consensusMI5 plots against WilsonThe cult of the "gentleman amateur"Wilson's "white heat of technology" speechThe Department of Economic Affairs and Treasury sabotageThe paranoia of the British rightParallels with the current momentIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, the memorial day of Saint Louis of France and Saint Joseph Calasanz, priest, we see in the Gospel (Matthew 23:23–26) how Jesus forcefully calls the Pharisees—and us—to change their hearts and behavior, and not to be trapped by the ego and its narrow concerns.When the Lord says, “Reform your life,” he means to move from that old mind and make him the center of your life.Also today, in his letter to the Thessalonians (2:1–3a, 14–17), Saint Paul says not to be shaken by rumors, fear, or confusion, but to “stand firm” in the faith. In the Gospel, Jesus warns against looking religious on the outside while neglecting mercy.Today's lesson is that God wants a clean heart, not just clean appearances. Faith is not panic, performance while missing love. It is standing firm in truth and letting mercy shape, avoiding distraction or fear.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    bto - beyond the obvious 2.0 - der neue Ökonomie-Podcast von Dr. Daniel Stelter

    Der Stablecoin ist eine digitale Kryptowährung, deren Wert fest an einen stabilen Basiswert – meist an klassische Staatswährungen wie den US-Dollar oder den Euro – gekoppelt ist. Bei einem informellen Treffen der EU-Finanzminister und Notenbankgouverneure im Mai 2026 in der zypriotischen Hauptstadt Nikosia präsentierten die Ökonomen Prof. Dr. Lucrezia Reichlin und Dr. Jeromin Zettelmeyer vom Brüsseler Thinktank Bruegel einen Vorschlag zur Reform der europäischen Stablecoin-Regulierung. Die Reaktion der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) war eindeutig ablehnend. Ob das die richtige Antwort auf die digitale Machtfrage im Währungssystem gewesen ist, muss allerdings bezweifelt werden.Die USA verfolgen eine andere Strategie. Das 2025 verabschiedete US-Bundesgesetz GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act) fördert Dollar-Stablecoins aktiv. US-Finanzminister Scott Bessent macht deutlich, worum es geht: „Wir werden dafür sorgen, dass der US-Dollar die dominierende Reservewährung der Welt bleibt, und wir werden dazu Stablecoins nutzen.“ Stablecoins sind für Washington kein Krypto-Kuriosum, sondern ein Instrument der währungspolitischen Machterhaltung – und ein zusätzlicher Abnehmer für US-Staatsanleihen.Warum das wichtig ist? Weil sich hier die Machtfrage im digitalen Geldsystem entscheidet. Es geht um die Dominanz in der Infrastruktur des Finanzsystems der kommenden Jahrzehnte.Daniel Stelter spricht mit den Autoren des Bruegel-Papers: der früheren EZB-Forschungsdirektorin Lucrezia Reichlin und dem Direktor des Bruegel-Instituts, Jeromin Zettelmeyer.Hinweis ABSTURZ – So retten wir Deutschland: das neue Buch von Daniel Stelter.

    Joseph Sternberg addresses the looming "year of doom" in 2032, when the Social Security trust fund is projected to run out. Without reform, benefits could be slashed by 22% to match current payroll tax revenues, creating a massive political crisis. Sternberg explores potential remedies such as means testing for high-earners like Elon Musk or raising the payroll tax cap, though he warns these could impact broader economic growth. He highlights the generational fairness issue of asking younger workers to fund benefits that baby boomers were unprepared to pay for themselves. The discussion also covers the rise of Hasan Piker, a popular Twitch streamer who broadcasts far-left economic views to a younger audience. While Piker is photogenic and compelling, Sternberg describes him as a "popularizer" rather than a deep thinker. Piker's pugnacious approach serves as a bellwether for whether radical progressive ideas can succeed in general elections. (5)

    Drawing from local archives alongside national and international records, War and Governance in Scotland, 1543-1559: Destruction, Reconstruction and Reform (Edinburgh UP, 2026) by Dr. Amy Blakeway argues that warfare was the defining feature of government and politics in Scotland for the two decades following the death of James V. It demonstrates that beyond the direct effects of invasion, the need to raise unprecedented taxation, as well as warfare's secondary consequences, such as plague and price inflation, disrupted communities throughout Scotland, engendering enhanced social control. These effects endured for many years after the peace of 1550: new laws were passed to manage those who had collaborated with the invaders and taxation remained high.The post-war decade was one of reconstruction, and it was this which drove religious reformation in 1559-60. The book shows that appreciating the scale of the crown's ambition places the Scottish state's development closer to that of its European counterparts. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

    Republicans won unified control in Washington, but they are walking straight into a brutal 2026 midterm election trap. Historical precedent, broken promises, economic anxiety, the Iran war, and the absence of an affirmative conservative agenda could cost the GOP its House majority. President Trump secured the border and Republicans preserved key tax cuts, but they have failed to enact durable reforms of the federal bureaucracy, restrain $7.4 trillion in federal outlays, or force decisive votes on election integrity. This episode explains why Republican voter apathy presents a greater threat than Democratic enthusiasm and what the GOP must accomplish before November. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why historical midterm trends and narrow House margins place the Republican majority at risk  How the Iran war, energy costs, and economic anxiety could weaken Republican turnout  Why firing a few dozen federal employees and holding hearings does nothing to stop the administrative state without permanent statutory reform.  How Republican neglect of deep-blue districts allows DSA candidates to expand their power, including in New York's 13th Congressional District. What the Reform, Restrain, Rebuild agenda and the actionable solutions from the New Contract with America offer voters beyond "Democrats are worse"  Read the New Contract with America at pasreport.com, share this episode, and demand that Republican leaders explain what they intend to accomplish before November.

    The PBM Reform Podcast, sponsored by APCI, welcomes John Vinson, PharmD, Chief Executive Officer of the Arkansas Pharmacists Association, for a timely conversation with host Greg Reybold about the management of the TRICARE pharmacy benefit.   Express Scripts administers pharmacy benefits for TRICARE, the Department of Defense healthcare program serving more than 9 million active-duty service members, military retirees, and family members. In fiscal year 2023 alone, TRICARE spent more than $8 billion on prescription medications.   Greg and John examine concerns surrounding Express Scripts' administration of the program, including shrinking pharmacy networks, reduced patient choice, questionable contractor reporting, specialty-drug delivery oversight, and the consequences for independent and rural pharmacies.   A 2025 Government Accountability Office investigation found that:   TRICARE's minimum network requirement fell from 50,000 to 35,000 pharmacies. The network had approximately 13,165 fewer pharmacies in late 2024 than in late 2022. An estimated 380,000 beneficiaries may have been forced to find another pharmacy. The Defense Health Agency relied heavily on contractor-submitted reports that contained inaccuracies. DHA had not consistently audited the data used to evaluate beneficiary access. GAO's two corrective recommendations remain open as of August 2026, although DHA has begun adding reporting and auditing requirements.   The episode also addresses higher 2026 prescription copayments. For most non-active-duty beneficiaries, home-delivery copays are now $14 for generic formulary drugs, $44 for brand-name drugs, and $85 for non-formulary medications. At retail network pharmacies, the corresponding 30-day copays are $16, $48, and $85.   Greg and John discuss whether PBM-driven network reductions represent true savings—or simply transfer costs, inconvenience, and access barriers to military families and the community pharmacies serving them.   Key discussion points Express Scripts' role in administering the TRICARE pharmacy benefit Pharmacy network contraction and beneficiary disruption Access challenges facing rural communities and military families Inaccurate contractor data and insufficient federal oversight Specialty-pharmacy delivery and monitoring concerns Rising 2026 copayments and pressure toward mail order Arkansas' leadership in challenging PBM vertical integration The need for transparency, accountability, adequate reimbursement, and patient choice   Important clarification: TRICARE is administered by the Department of Defense and is distinct from healthcare and pharmacy services operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.   Sponsored by APCI — American Pharmacy Cooperative, Inc.   Sources: U.S. Government Accountability Office, TRICARE's 2026 pharmacy-benefit update, official 2026–2027 pharmacy costs.

    In this episode of Ethnocynology, I sit down with dog science communicator Alexandra the Average for a wide-ranging conversation about dogs, science, identity, and the ways our own cultural biases shape how we understand dogs themselves. Alexandra discusses her approach to navigating misinformation in the dog and animal-welfare world, including why she relies on multiple studies rather than individual papers. But also the importance of reading beyond the abstract, and how scientific findings can become messy once they reach social media. The conversation dives into some of the most persistent debates surrounding dogs, including pit bull stereotypes, breed and temperament, dog-bite statistics, veterinary bias, and how race and socioeconomic inequality can affect people's experiences with animal welfare and adoption. We also explore the deeper history behind our relationships with dogs, like the use of dogs as status symbols to the effects of colonialism on Indigenous dog populations. We  discuss how dogs can become wrapped up in human identity, prejudice, politics, and even colonial violence, illustrating why the history of dogs can never really be separated from the history of people. Alexandra also discusses her upcoming podcast, Pod Reviewed Research, which explores the human-animal connection, animal welfare, legislation, history, and culture through detailed, research-heavy conversations.

His main rival, Count Binface – the ‘uniparty candidate' as Farage says – secured a respectable 9,455 votes, a 26.7 per cent share.Turnout stood at 44.37 per cent, the constituency's lowest since 2010, but still pretty good for a by-election and such an unusual one at that. But the big questions remains: did Farage get what he wanted out of this by-election?
