This morning Kemi Badenoch has staged a presser setting out the terms for a new (alternative) national grooming gangs inquiry – a move that has reopened wounds for many survivors and intensified criticism of Labour's handling of the existing process. What will this mean for the government, for survivors, and for the political fight ahead?Meanwhile in Scotland, the defection of former Scotland Office minister Lord Offord to Reform UK has sent shockwaves through the Scottish Conservatives – and raised fresh questions about the balance of power ahead of the Holyrood elections. Could Reform genuinely challenge Labour for second place? And how worried should Scottish Labour be as scandals continue to mount?Plus, Labour Together – the McSweeney-linked think tank which basically put Keir in power – has turned on the PM and is reportedly canvassing members on who they'd prefer as an alternative to Keir Starmer. Is he now in more danger than Kemi?James Heale is joined by Lucy Dunn and Tim Shipman to discuss a tumultuous week in Westminster and beyond.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElory.

STARMER and BBC trying to destroy REFORM UK #ReformUK #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #BBC #BBCBias #QuestionTime #ZiaYusuf #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV Is Keir Starmer now treating Nigel Farage and Reform UK as the real opposition — and is the BBC playing along? In this live show we look at the intensifying political and media attacks on Nigel Farage, as Labour figures repeatedly label Reform UK as "racist" and "extreme", while Farage's popularity and Reform's polling continue to rise. We examine the recent revival of long-standing allegations relating to Farage's school years — claims he strongly denies — and ask why decades-old accusations, dating back to when he was 13, are being pushed so aggressively now. Is this legitimate scrutiny — or a political smear designed to delegitimise a movement before voters properly hear its case? We also break down the controversial BBC Question Time episode featuring Zia Yusuf, where editorial decisions — including inviting a small-boat migrant into the studio audience to directly challenge Reform UK — have raised serious questions about impartiality. Finally, we ask the question many viewers are asking: Are the BBC and Labour acting independently — or are they aligned when it comes to stopping Reform UK? Watch and decide for yourself, and make up your own mind. #ReformUK #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #BBC #BBCBias #QuestionTime #ZiaYusuf #SmallBoats #IllegalMigration #MediaBias #FreeSpeech #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #CancelCulture #Establishment #PoliticalSmears Reform UK, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Labour Party, BBC, BBC bias, Question Time, Zia Yusuf, small boats, illegal migration, media bias, free speech, UK politics, Jon Gaunt, JonGauntTV, political smears, establishment politics, cancel culture This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Following the rather grim comedy of Boris Johnson, the Conservatives gave Britain the even more ridiculous spectacle of Liz Truss. She proceeded to push the British economy to the edge of the abyss, aided and abetted by her Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi ‘Kamikwasi' Kwarteng. Fortunately, her colleagues realised what a disastrous mess the Tory membership had made electing Truss leader, and chucked her out again, establishing a new record, previously held by George Canning since 1827, for the shortest tenure of any Prime Minister in office.To the delight of the Daily Star, which livestreamed a lettuce and a photo of Liz Truss, to see whether she could outlast the lettuce, it was the vegetable that won.It was Rishi Sunak who followed her into office, and he worked hard with his Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to get the economy back on its feet. Unfortunately, they went back to the beginning of this long period of Tory rule, to austerity politics. They worked no better second time around than first and only cut the public deficit by a little over half, leaving debt still climbing. Meanwhile, immigration was raising its head again as a key question. Oddly enough, net migration – people in less people out – had risen since Brexit, which many had backed as a way to limit migration in the first place. The new election took place on 4 July 2022. It was an election of fragmentation, with the old dominant parties of Labour and the Tories plumbing new depths of their joint share of the popular vote, while smaller parties – the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and the new kids on the block, Nigel Farage's Reform UK, surging forward.The success of Reform UK was the most striking. And the most ominous for the future of the other parties.Illustration: Liz Truss and the lettuce.

Tate and Connor break down the Trump administration's new National Security Strategy, which puts a major focus on Europe's demographic pressures, migration crises, and the need for European nations to become more self-sufficient. They dig into what this shift means for U.S. and European relations, how Washington is reframing stability on the continent, and why the White House is urging Europe to "stand on its own two feet" in the years ahead. The duo also discuss Rupert Lowe's rapid rise in British politics, how he's reshaping Reform UK's messaging, and why his upcoming interview with Tucker Carlson could dramatically elevate his profile with American audiences.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Oisín Mac Conamhna.I Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá Déardaoin, thug an tAimiréal Frank Bradley fianaise don Chomhdháil faoi dhá ionsaí a rinne Cabhlach Mheiriceá ar bhád a bhí ag iompar drugaí, de réir Washington, ar an dara lá de mhí Mheán Fómhair. Scaoil siad dhá dhiúracán ar an mbád ar dtús, a bhris as a chéile ina dhá chuid é,agus a mharaigh gach duine ar bord seachas beirt, a bhí fágtha, de réir cosúlachta, agus iad longbhriste sa raic. Ansin scaoil an Cabhlach dhá dhiúracán eile chun an bheirt údaí a mharú, agus d'éirigh leo. Is coir chogaidh é, agus sárú ar Choinbhinsiún na Ginéive, mairnéalaigh longbhriste a mharú. Ta sé ráite ag an rialtas le Uachtarán Trump go bhfuil cogadh ar siúl idir Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá agus na cairtéil atá ag iomportáil drugaí ann, acht is conspóideach an cogadh é, ó thaobh an dlí de, mar sin féin.I Sasana, tá fiche a hocht duine a bhí ar scoil le Nigel Farage i gColáiste Dulwich, Londain, tar éis a rá don nuachtán The Guardian go bhfaca siad bulaíocht chiníoch nó fhrith-sheimíteach uaidh ag an am sin. Dúirt Peter Ettedgui, stiúrthóir scannán mór le rá atá ina Ghiúdach, go raibh sé mar nós agFarage a rá leis go raibh an ceart ag Hitler, nó a bheith ag siosarnach leis amhail is dá mbeadh gás nimhiúil ann. Dúirt Yinke Bankole gur thosaigh sé ar scoil ann nuair a raibh sé naoi mbliana d'aois, agus bhí Farage thart ar seacht déag, agus gur cuimhin leis Farage ag díriú a láimhe agus ag rá leis gur sin an bealach ar ais go dtí an Afraic. Dúirt comhscoláirí éagsúla gur chonaic siad Farage ag canadh “Gásaigh iad uilig”, nó agmí-úsáid a chumhachta mar chinnire go ciníoch; agus dúirt roinnt comhscoláirí go bhfaca siad Farage ag caitheamh maslaí ciníocha go minic. Ghlac Farage páirt ollmhór i bhfeachtas an Bhreatimeachta, agus anois tá sé i gceannas ar an bpáirtí Reform UK, atá chun tosaigh ar leibhéil náisiúnta ar thart ar 30% snaphobalbreitheanna sa Ríocht Aontaithe. Dúirt Farage nár thug sé íde béil chiníoch d'aon ghnó riamh, agus nach ndearna sé iarracht dhíreach, dháiríre daoine a ghortú.Bhí tráthnóna mór ann in Áras Inis Gluaire i mBéal an Mhuirthead Dé hAoine, le tacaiocht mhór ón eagraíocht Gaeilge Iorrais, nuair a sheol Aire na Gaeltachta Dara Calleary an leabhar “Scéal Muirí Mhuigh Eo” le Breandán Mac Conamhna, foilsithe ag Mayo Books Press. Insíonn an leabhar scéal oidhreacht mhuirí an chontae ón gClochaois go dtí an lá áta inniu ann. Tá sé scríofa go hiomlán i gcanúint Iorrais, tuaisceart Mhuigh Eo, agus dár leis an údar, a rugadh i mBéal Deirg ar chósta thuaidh an chontae sa bhliain 1936, is é an chéad leabhar dá leithéid ar feadh seachtó bliain, ó tháinig an Caighdeán Oifigiúil an an bhfód.

Sir Keir Starmer started the week with not one but two speeches defending his party's Budget decisions in the wake of claims that chancellor Rachel Reeves had misled the public and fellow MPs about the state of the nation's finances. Was his sell convincing? The prime minister also brought up Brexit, but as panellist Robert Shrimsley points out, Starmer was characteristically unclear as to whether the Labour party was ultimately leaning into or out of the EU.Plus, host George Parker and the rest of the panel, Miranda Green and Jim Pickard, discuss the FT report that Nigel Farage told Reform UK donors he expects his party to do some sort of deal with the Tories in the run-up to the next general election — potentially helped by the single biggest donation any UK political party has had from a living donor.

I de her dage har britiske medier været fyldt med historier om Reform UK's forbindelser til Rusland, og allerede i 2023 advarede MI5-chefen om, at 20.000 briter var blevet kontaktet af kinesiske agenter via LinkedIn. Ser vi blot toppen af isbjerget? Og står Vesten foran en ny æra af udenlandsk infiltrering? I dette afsnit taler Mikkel Vedby og Lars Struwe om omfanget af udenlandsk infiltration i Vesten – og om vi overhovedet er rede til at modstå den.

Nigel Farage, uno de los principales impulsores del Brexit, se perfila como favorito para convertirse en el próximo primer ministro. Su partido de extrema derecha, Reform UK, escala en las encuestas con un discurso que atribuye a la migración los problemas del país, desde el costo de la vida hasta las listas de espera en el sistema sanitario. En un Reino Unido cada vez más dividido, el ascenso del populismo marca el pulso político. Reportaje de Clovis Casali y Claire Paccalin para France 24.
In this week's episode, Sam and Chern break down the year that was 2025 in UK politics. They discuss the state of the parties heading into 2026 and what have been some of the most significant events of the year. After almost 18 months in office, is Starmer's leadership already in doubt? Have the Conservatives done anything to turn around their declining fortunes? And how have Reform UK and the Greens ascended to new heights in opinion polls? All these questions and more answered in this week's episode.
Starmer Too Weak to Copy Trump on Immigration? LIVE SHOW #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #DonaldTrump #ImmigrationBan #SmallBoatsCrisis #BorderControl #ReformUK #UKPolitics #USPolitics Tonight we tackle one of the most explosive questions in British politics: Should Keir Starmer follow Donald Trump's lead and suspend immigration? After the shocking murder of a female National Guardsman in the US — allegedly by an Afghan migrant — Trump has announced a drastic halt on immigration from certain countries. It's a move that has ignited fierce debate across America. But with the UK facing its own tragedies linked to illegal migrants arriving on small boats, the question is unavoidable: Could Starmer ever take similar action? Does he have the political courage — or the public support — to do it? In this live show we'll dig into:
In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott respond to shocking recent comments from Reform UK's deputy leader, Richard Tice — whose claims about “overdiagnosis,” ear defenders, and SEND support reveal just how dangerously out of touch his party is with neurodivergent realities. They break down Tice's statements about “too many labels,” “overdiagnosed children,” and the idea that SEND support should be pushed back onto already-burnt-out schools. Jordan and Simon explore why this rhetoric isn't just ignorant — it's harmful, ableist, and deeply rooted in a political movement that treats disabled children as a financial burden rather than human beings.Across the episode, they dive into:Why claims of “overdiagnosis” are factually wrong — and why autism and ADHD remain massively underdiagnosedThe danger of framing neurodivergent support as “optional” or “too expensive”How right-wing parties in the UK and US mirror each other in attacking disabled communitiesWhy ear defenders, sensory tools, and accommodations matter — and what it means when politicians publicly mock themThe long history of autistic people driving innovation, science, technology, art, and cultureHow austerity politics weaponise public ignorance about neurodivergenceWhy dismissing assessments, EHCPs, and support plans harms every child, not just SEND studentsWhat happens when politicians shape policy around stigma instead of science and lived experienceThis is a fiery, unapologetic episode about the real political threat facing autistic and ADHD people — and why our community cannot stay silent when elected officials target disabled children to score votes.Our Sponsors:
In this Trawl, Jemma and Marina dive into the political earthquake shaking Reform UK after former Welsh leader Nathan Gill was jailed for taking bribes linked to pro-Russian interests. With the party insisting there's no need for an internal investigation, social media has been left... unconvinced.We pick through the online reaction, the disbelief, and the dark humour as Westminster scrambles to respond. From Farage's denials over his own past controversies to questions about transparency inside Reform, the timeline is an absolute mess and the internet has thoughts.Plus: the memes, the meltdowns, and the moments that defined a week where one conviction sets off a political chain reaction.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

The Budget has finally been delivered and it was every bit as horrible as feared.

Ahead of the autumn budget, support for Labour in London is at a record low, according to a new poll, as Rachel Reeves is set to clobber the capital with a wave of tax rises. Nigel Farage's Reform UK has surged to 23 per cent in the capital, ahead of the Tories on 20 per cent, with Labour on 32 per cent. The Chancellor faces a backlash from voters, particularly those on high and middle incomes, ahead of London local elections next May. London has for many years been a Labour stronghold but the party's support has plunged since the general election last July, according to the latest Savanta poll for Centre for London. The Standard's Political Editor Nic Cecil is here with the latest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the UK, one of the key architects of the campaign to leave the EU is currently the favourite to become the next prime minister. Nigel Farage and his right-wing populist party, Reform UK, are soaring in the polls. For years, Farage has argued that immigration is the cause of Britain's problems, from the rising cost of living to long hospital waiting lists. FRANCE 24's Clovis Casali and Claire Paccalin travelled around the UK to find out what impact this message is having on British people.

Just a day after BBC bosses were in front of MPs to address impartiality concerns, and there's a fresh impartiality headache for the beleaguered broadcaster. Dutch historian Rutger Bregman, who'd been asked to give the prestigious Reith Lecture, today revealed that the BBC had removed a “key line” from his address. Bregman's claim that President Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history” was removed from the Radio 4 broadcast of his lecture. He's said today that he was informed that the decision to remove the accusation was taken at the “highest levels within the BBC”. The BBC has insisted the decision was taken on legal advice. So why was the line pulled? And is the threat of Donald Trump's legal action now influencing the editorial decisions of the BBC?Later, with Nigel Farage on the back foot over the allegations he made racist remarks as a schoolboy - does the Reform UK leader have a glass jaw?The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee
Stop Calling Everyone a Nazi! – Reform UK's Badge Isn't Fascist #ReformUK #NigelFarage #JonGaunt #KevinHollinrake #NathanGill #UKPolitics #NaziAccusations In today's video I break down the bizarre moment when Conservative Party Chairman Kevin Hollinrake compared Reform UK's new gold badge on a football shirt to Nazi symbolism. Yes… seriously. This is just the latest example of how far some people will go to attack Reform UK, Nigel Farage, and the party's supporters. We've seen a wave of recent political hits — including renewed stories about alleged comments Farage supposedly made as a teenager, and even attempts to drag him into the Nathan Gill situation, despite Gill being responsible for his own treasonous actions. Why are the Tories trying so hard to link everything negative to Nigel Farage? Why are MPs throwing around labels instead of arguments? And why is every controversy instantly turned into a smear at Reform UK voters? This kind of political rhetoric doesn't help debate — it shuts it down. You can criticise Reform UK all you like, but calling people Nazis over a badge colour, or reviving decades-old claims just to score points, is ridiculous. In this video we talk about:
Who is really behind the White House 'peace plan' for Ukraine: Trump or Putin? Why isn't Europe taking the threat from Russia more seriously, and doing more to protect Ukraine? How does all of this relate to Russia's hybrid warfare and the ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales taking pro-Russia bribes?

Nigel Farage vs Keir Starmer: Who's Public Enemy No. 1? #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #Jon Gaunt #Guardian #FaragePM #ReformUK #Jon Gaunt Nigel Farage is back in the spotlight — and under fire. After new attacks from The Guardian and Keir Starmer over comments he allegedly made at just 13 years old, the question is louder than ever: Is Farage really Public Enemy No. 1, or is he becoming the people's number one choice for Prime Minister?

This week on the podcast we examine what the rise of Reform UK – and new insight into its prospective voters – might mean for universities, international education, and the wider public legitimacy of higher education. Plus we discuss Skills England's new guidance on local skills improvement plans – and the move to place higher education, up to postgraduate level, at the heart of local skills ecosystems – and a new study of student working lives that reveals how paid employment alongside full-time study is reshaping participation, wellbeing, and outcomes.With Sam Roseveare, Director of Regional and National Policy at University of Warwick, Alex Favier, Director at Favier Ltd, Jen Summerton, Operations Director at Wonkhe and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.Labour takes steps to bring higher education and local skills closer togetherLong hours and poor working conditions hit students' outcomes hardThe surprising pragmatism of Reform UK voters towards international educationHigher education's civic role has never been more important to get right
El gobierno laborista de Keir Starmer presentó este lunes la reforma más dura de la política de asilo desde la posguerra. Entre las medidas que contempla son deportaciones más rápidas, alargar de cinco a veinte años el plazo para obtener la residencia permanente, establecer un cupo anual máximo de refugiados, revisar periódicamente la seguridad de los países de origen y confiscar dinero y joyas a los solicitantes para sufragar su alojamiento y los trámites burocráticos. Además de eso, Starmer amenaza con restringir visados a países, sobre todo africanos, que se nieguen a aceptar repatriaciones. La reforma llega cuando las entradas ilegales en la Unión Europea han caído casi un 25% en el último año, pero en el Reino Unido las solicitudes de asilo superaron las 100.000 en 2024, muchas de ellas cruzando el Canal de la Mancha en pequeñas embarcaciones. El coste de alojar a unos 30.000 solicitantes en hoteles alcanzó los 2.000 millones de libras el año pasado, un gasto que ha disparado el rechazo ciudadano y el ascenso de Reform UK, el partido de Nigel Farage. Dentro del Partido Laborista la propuesta ha desatado una tormenta. Decenas de diputados de izquierda amenazan con votar en contra y esto podría provocar una gran crisis interna dentro del laborismo. El anuncio británico se inscribe en una ola de endurecimiento de la política de asilo que recorre toda Europa, y que pone en cuestión el sistema internacional de asilo tal y como se concibió en 1951. Aquel régimen nació para proteger a disidentes del bloque soviético y como respuesta moral al rechazo a los judíos en los años treinta. Setenta y cinco años después, con 1.000 millones de personas deseando emigrar y viajes muy asequibles, la figura del refugio político se utiliza como coartada para la inmigración económica. La mayoría de solicitudes se rechazan, pero los procesos duran años y permiten permanecer en el país mientras se resuelven. Los críticos señalan que acoger a los refugiados a miles de kilómetros de sus países resulta carísimo, sirve sólo a los más jóvenes y genera rechazo entre los ciudadanos del país de acogida. La historia demuestra que los desplazados por un conflicto que se refugian en países vecinos con cultura y lengua similares regresan antes cuando se acaban los problemas en su país. Un refugiado en un país vecino es mucho más barato de sostener que en Europa o Estados Unidos donde los Gobiernos tienen que asignarles viviendas sociales y subsidios. Cada vez más voces piden replantearse el modelo desde cero. Reforzar la ayuda a ACNUR y a los países de primera acogida, procesar las solicitudes en terceros países seguros (como propone Giorgia Meloni con Albania) y separar con claridad el asilo político genuino de la inmigración laboral. Europa necesita mano de obra por el envejecimiento de su población, pero debe poder decidir cuánta, de dónde y con qué perfil. Eso con el sistema actual es imposible ya que se emplea como puerta trasera para la inmigración irregular. Con el plan de Starmer y los que se están adoptando en otras partes de Europa, el debate ya no es si el actual régimen de asilo está agotado, sino cómo sustituirlo.

#Starmer #Labour #UKPolitics #LabourCrisis #JonGaunt #AndyBurnham #CliveLewis #ReformUK #Greens Keir Starmer is finished. The most unpopular Prime Minister in British history has not only lost the country – it now looks like he's lost his own party too. Around 80 Labour MPs are plotting to get rid of him, and Clive Lewis is even willing to give up his seat so Andy Burnham can swoop in and run for Leader. Next week's Budget will be another nail in Starmer's coffin. The real question now isn't just whether Starmer can survive – it's whether Labour itself can survive, with the Greens and Reform surging and voters turning their backs in disgust. Join Jon Gaunt and have your say: Is Starmer toast?

Reform UK has set out its plans to plug a £25bn hole in the economy, and the policies essentially amount to one thing: making it more expensive to be a foreigner in Britain.But the press conference got a bit frosty when Camilla asked Nigel Farage who his pick for chancellor would be.Meanwhile, in another central London conference centre, the Conservatives were announcing...not very much at all. But things got interesting when Kemi Badenoch called out a Guardian journalist who was in the room.Camilla and Tim assess the credibility of the Tories' and Reform's economic plans and, crucially, bemoan the declining quality of press conference snacks.We want to hear from you!

Det mullrar i den brittiska inrikespolitiken. Problemen hopar sig för Labour och partiet gör nu en skarp gir i migrationspolitiken. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Brittiska Labour har gått från en historisk jordskredsseger i valet 2024 till usla förtroendesiffror och besvärande uppgifter om interna maktstrider. Vad ligger bakom den snabba förändringen av den brittiska spelplanen och kommer premiärminister Keir Starmer kunna behålla greppet om regeringsmakten? Partiets förslag till omläggning av den brittiska migrationspolitiken visar hur Labour försöker behålla kommandot i en fråga där högerpopulistiska Reform UK med stor framgång utmanar de traditionella statsbärande partierna. Samtidigt som de nya förslaget bäddar för kritik från motsatt håll. Nu väntar alla på nästa stora politiska prövning för Starmer när förslaget till ny budget ska presenteras om en vecka. Samtidigt briserar skandalen runt BBC och Trumps hot om stämning av public service-bolaget. En händelse som också plockats upp i den redan kokande brittiska inrikespolitiken.

In den USA geht Donald Trump seit Beginn seiner zweiten Amtszeit mit Anschuldigungen, Milliardenklagen und gekürzten Geldern gegen kritische Medien im eigenen Land vor. Nun treffen die Drohungen des US-Präsidenten erstmals auch ein europäisches Medium: die BBC in London. Vordergründig geht es um einen journalistischen Fehler in einer Doku über den Präsidenten. Aber was steckt dahinter? Mit ARD-Korrespondent Christoph Prössl schauen wir, wie die Debatte um die BBC derart hochkochen konnte und, wie sich Medien gegen solche Angriffe wappnen können. Alle Entwicklungen im Fall Trump gegen die BBC: https://www.tagesschau.de/thema/bbc In dieser früheren 11KM-Folge geht es um Donald Trumps Angriffe auf US-Medien: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Trump_Medien Und in dieser Folge mit unserem Gast Christoph Prössl geht's um die aktuelle Stimmung in Großbritannien und den Aufstieg von “Reform UK”: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Rechtspopulisten_Grossbritannien Hier geht's zu “Urban Pop”, unserem Podcast-Tipp: https://1.ard.de/urban-pop Diese und viele weitere Folgen von 11KM findet ihr überall da, wo es Podcasts gibt, auch hier in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/11km-der-tagesschau-podcast/12200383/ An dieser Folge waren beteiligt: Folgenautoren: Lisa Hentschel, Moritz Fehrle Mitarbeit: Marc Hoffmann Host: David Krause Produktion: Christiane Gerheuser-Kamp, Ruth Ostermann, Marie-Noelle Svihla und Lisa Krumme Planung: Caspar von Au und Hardy Funk Distribution: Kerstin Ammermann Redaktionsleitung: Fumiko Lipp und Nicole Dienemann 11KM: der tagesschau-Podcast wird produziert von BR24 und NDR Info.

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has set out what she's called her "moral mission" to heal divisions in the UK by overhauling immigration rules. Her plans include fast-tracking deportations, and making people who have been granted asylum wait longer before they can settle permanently. The Conservatives and Reform UK have said they are a step in the right direction; some Labour backbenchers have condemned the proposals as "dystopian" and "cruel".Also: a death sentence for Bangladesh's exiled former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, who has called the verdict "politically motivated".And a new rugby union tournament has been launched which will pit the best of the northern and southern hemisphere nations against each other.
#JonGaunt #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #SmallBoats #MigrationCrisis #IllegalMigration #AsylumSystem #UKPolitics #ReformUK #PayToLeave #UKLiveShow Tonight at 6:30pm, we go LIVE to break down the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's new Commons statement on her plans to "fix" the small boats crisis. Is this too little, too late from Starmer's government? Are these policies really bold, or simply Reform UK lite? Jon Gaunt will analyse the major announcements, the backlash inside Labour's own ranks, the reactions from Reform and Conservatives, and whether these measures stand a chance of reducing illegal Channel crossings. We'll also ask the explosive question the government seems to be avoiding:
Sweeping changes have been announced to Britain's controversial asylum system as polls show immigration has overtaken the economy as voters' top concern. The Labour government has been hardening its immigration policies as it seeks to stem the surging popularity of the populist Reform UK party, which has driven the immigration agenda and forced Labour to adopt a tougher line.

Regarding Gaza, he suggests the potential creation of "two Gazas" leads to an indefinite, burdensome Israeli occupation and creates a breeding ground for future insurgency. 1145-1200 Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation.
