All about contested spaces: physical statehood and online safety. Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell discuss the impending recognition of Palestine by Britain (and France). Why now? And as the Online Safety Act begins to impact our internet use, we ask whether it fixes anything or just creates a whole new range of problems. Plus regular features 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin And Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠*** “Netanyahu has behaved in a way that demonstrates exactly the characteristics of a politician who is running out of time. There is only so long he can avoid an election. As the pressure builds towards it, maybe what we are seeing is part of an emboldened international community speaking directly to the Israeli people.” “A two-state solution depends on there being power brokers on both sides who can sit down and talk meaningfully to move things forward. That's not Hamas and, increasingly clearly, that's not Netanyahu either. Whatever solutions eventually come to pass, key to them is gonna be getting those problematic parties out of the picture.”  “Trump is transactional and being transactional, he doesn't really understand ideological constraints. Having offered transactions that he thinks Netanyahu and Putin would take, he just cannot fathom why they didn't. So he's beginning to see them as people he can't do business with. A bad position to be in with Trump.” “As the law comes into effect, there is no public register of approved age verification providers, no duty on those providers to meet any specific privacy or security standards, above data protection alone, and no requirement for platforms to choose trusted or certified providers.” “The Online Safety Act is like saying: We love the sea. The sea is a fabulous place. We spent many happy years playing in the sea. But the sea is now full of sewage and horrible things. And we're going to solve that problem by making it harder to get into the sea. It doesn't actually deal with any of the causes at all.” “I keep coming up against this conundrum, this circle that cannot be squared: the same anonymity that makes the internet exceptionally useful to some, is also what makes it a risk to others… For it to become a space within which the law applies, it cannot be anonymous. Otherwise we accept it is incapable of being regulated and belongs, in part, to bad actors.” “What happens if you shut down direct access to a thing for the group of people who are most likely to use it? Especially young people. They will go round the side.” ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** CALLS TO ACTION: Complain to Sky News about disproportionate Reform UK coverage.

What happens when the criminal justice system gets it wrong and takes years to admit it? And what does it say about the state of UK law when protestors are labelled terrorists while populists call for military-built prisons?   From the Supreme Court's critical judgment in the high-profile legal case against the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) traders calling out systemic failure in the appeals process to the explosive policy platform launched by Reform UK, this episode of Double Jeopardy covers the legal and political stories reshaping public discourse. Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC unpack a series of developments exposing deep fault lines in British politics, freedom of expression, and the rule of law.   They also return to the government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism legislation raising urgent questions about human rights law, the policing of protest, and the erosion of civil liberties under the banner of national security.   You can find the Supreme Court judgment in Rex v Hayes & Palombo here.   Carlo Palombo was represented by Tim Owen KC, Jonathan Crow CVO, KC, Katherine Hardcastle, Tim James-Matthews and Elizabeth Walsh instructed by Ben Rose of Hickman & Rose.  Tom Hayes was represented by Adrian Darbishire KC and Tom Doble instructed by Karen Todner. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.   What happens when law and politics collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?   Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.   Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.   Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003-2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law.   Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.    Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape.   If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today in Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

There's still several years until we're likely to get another General Election, but it's no longer a stretch to consider the possibility of Nigel Farage as Prime Minister and Reform UK as the ruling party. Until very recently however, we had precious little evidence of how and what Reform would actually do in power, since they had very little experience of actually running anything. All that changed in May though, as the party swept to victory in a host of local and mayoral elections across the North and nationwide, putting them in charge of local councils and metro mayoral authorities. How have they been doing since - and what lessons can we draw from Reform UK locally about what they would do if put in charge of the country?

Labour Meltdown: Trump Humiliates Starmer – Farage Hit with Sick Smear  #KeirStarmer #NigelFarage #DonaldTrump #JonGaunt #UKPolitics  Yesterday's political drama was explosive — and Sir Keir Starmer is at the centre of it. Donald Trump publicly humiliated the Labour leader, leaving him the laughing stock of Britain and beyond. But instead of fixing the mess, Starmer and Labour have launched a vile smear campaign against Nigel Farage.  First, they tried the tired “racist” label. Now, they've escalated to a disgusting claim linking Farage to Jimmy Savile. This desperate attack, pushed by Peter Kyle and backed by Number 10, is a clear attempt to distract from Starmer's disastrous Trump encounter. Meanwhile, instead of tackling the issues Brits care about most — grooming gangs, the migrant crisis, and riots — Starmer has called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss Gaza and has now announced that the UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September!  Jon Gaunt breaks down the political chaos, the truth behind Labour's smear tactics, and why Starmer's leadership is in serious trouble.

Nigel Farage is no stranger to harsh criticism from his political rivals, but never before has he been linked to prolific paedophile Jimmy Savile.That is, until now.Cabinet minister Peter Kyle has accused the Reform UK leader of being “on the side” of Savile after Farage said he would repeal the government's online safety act. Farage has now demanded an apology - but Kyle's doubled down. Are Labour brushing over the genuine unease that many people have about the online safety act? And is their rhetoric making Farage look like the grown up in the room? Later, did Starmer do enough to defend his friend Sadiq Khan after Trump called him a “nasty person?”The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

In this month's special edition of "Wright on the Nail," host Chris Wright delves into the turbulent landscape of British politics. With guests Rupert Lowe MP, Nigel Nelson, and Leonie Cooper AM, the episode explores the potential rise of Nigel Farage and the Reform UK party, examining what a government led by them might look like. The discussion covers the challenges of forming a new government, the implications of current polling, and the broader political shifts in the UK.

Reform Westminster City Councillor Laila Cunningham blows a fuse after being challenged by Labour MP Barry Gardiner about her party's ambitious plans to tackle crime. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jon Gaunt says that in just 20 minutes, Donald Trump destroyed Keir Starmer and handed the keys of Number 10 to Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Trump showed how securing the border and stopping illegal immigration won him the White House — and exposed Starmer's total weakness on the issue. Starmer squirmed, lied, and stumbled when challenged on illegal immigration, farmers' anger, crime in London under Sadiq Khan, and more. It was excruciating and hilarious in equal measure. Just a day after the Lionesses made us proud to be English again, our Prime Minister was humiliated in front of the world's press. Was this the longest political suicide note in British history? Can Starmer survive it?  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Southport RIOTS: One Year On — Will the UK EXPLODE Again THIS SUMMER?  #SouthportRiots #UKRiots #KeirStarmer #ImmigrationCrisis #JonGaunt #UKpolitics  Mass protests. Online rage. Riots breaking out AGAIN. One year after the horrific knife attack in Southport triggered nationwide violence, Britain is on the edge — and TONIGHT could be the tipping point.  

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have finally launched their new party, but it's off to a bumpy start. They unveiled 'Your Party', but had to quickly clarify that was not in fact the new party's name, and that will be decided on by a member's vote. He also had to play down claims of a split already. However, if the so-called Gaza independents join forced with Sultana and Corbyn, the organisation that's not called Your Party could have enough MPs to outnumber Reform UK. What does it mean for the left – and can they get their act together?Elsewhere, Tim discusses the slightly more organised Reform UK, the subject he wrote about in this week's magazine – and how it's no longer a case of can they win, but can anything stop them. Megan McElroy discusses with Tim Shipman and James Heale. Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

UK's Toughest Cop: Kevin Hurley Unloads on Migrants, Riots, FGM & Notting Hill  #KevinHurley #NottingHillCarnival #FGM #TwoTierPolicing #UKPolitics #JonGaunt  Former top cop Kevin Hurley joins Jon Gaunt for a no-holds-barred interview that takes aim at the UK's political and policing failures.  A former Borough Commander for Hammersmith and Fulham, Hurley has policed everything from the Notting Hill Carnival to counter-terrorism operations. Now, he speaks out — with brutal honesty — on what he believes is really happening in Britain.  

This week, Marina and Jemma unpack the most expensive hissy fit in presidential history: Donald Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for a casual $10 billion, meanwhile it appears JD Vance is on manoeuvres.... Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert, the most-watched late-night host in America is seemingly being cancelled not long after calling out a $16 million Trump settlement. Quite the coincidence! Reform UK continues its misinformation tour, with Sarah Pochin spouting nonsense on national TV and getting politely dismantled mid-broadcast. And in a by-election where Reform came fourth, the media coverage was so minimal it may as well have been printed in invisible ink and buried under a Farage flat cap.

NigelFarage #Migranthotels #JonGaunt #ReformUK #Epping #UKPolitics And now politicians must listen to us the people . Epping is just the latest tinder box but the reason why people are now getting angry is because Starmer and Labour never tell the truth and don't communicate with us the people who pay their wages.  We the people have an absolute right to know which hotels are being used to accommodate illegal migrants but no, the Government prefer to keep us in the dark.  Starmer was told by his own terrorist Czar after the Southport atrocity that creating an information vacuum creates more trouble than just telling people the facts.  Now Angela Rayner and Starmer tell the cabinet there could be riots like Southport this year…. Then they bugger off on holiday! The PM and cabinet should be staying at their desks to solve this problem.  We need an immediate stop to all examples of Two-Tier policing including Essex Police who escorted the Antifa hate mob into Epping last night. I don't blame the individual coppers, I blame the liberal woke leaders of the cops.  The Migrant hotel protests are spreading across the UK and the only way to stop them is to show who is in charge, stop the boats, close the hotels and start deporting these illegal migrants.  Immigration both legal and illegal unfortunately is the problem and the sooner Starmer understands this the better.  The Prime minister must lead from the front NOT the Sun lounger.  #NigelFarage #Migranthotels #JonGaunt #ReformUK #Epping #UKPolitics #CrimeUK #TommyRobinson #BritishPolitics #LawAndOrder #LiveDebate #Farage #PrisonCrisis #Deportation #UKRiots  Nigel Farage, Civil Unrest, Jon Gaunt, Reform UK, Epping, UK Politics, Crime UK, Tommy Robinson, British Politics, Law and Order, Live Debate, Farage, Prison Crisis, Deportation, UK Riots

Walescast comes from the Royal Welsh Show - the biggest agricultural festival in Europe. James kicked things off with Nigel Farage MP, Reform UK's leader, following the news that Laura Anne Jones MS has defected to his party after more than 30 years with the Welsh Conservatives. They also discuss farming and what's he has in store for the Senedd elections. James then caught up with Plaid Cymru's Llyr Gruffydd MS and Welsh Conservative Samuel Kurtz MS on all things farming and the latest news. He rounded of the busy day in an interview with Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies who is also the Minister for Rural Affairs.

Laila Cunningham says Reform UK want to 'end the betrayal' of Brits and shift the govenrment's human rights focus from the criminal to the victim. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

RiotsUK #GroomingGangs #MigrantHotels #EppingRiots #DissProtests The UK is at breaking point — so why are MPs disappearing for six weeks? While Parliament prepares for its summer recess, communities across Britain are under immense strain. This week alone, serious unrest has erupted in Epping and Diss, sparked by growing public anger over migrant hotels and allegations of sexual offences. Even Labour's Angela Rayner has acknowledged the rising risk of riots. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer branded the Epping protesters as “thugs” — dismissing legitimate fears from local residents. Is this political detachment or something worse? Over in France, GB News' Patrick Christys did what our security services have failed to do: he tracked down and interviewed three people smugglers operating openly on the French coast. If a journalist can do it, why can't the Home Office, MI5, or even local police? And next week marks the anniversary of the Southport riots — a grim reminder of what happens when authorities ignore public pressure and let tensions boil over. This is no time for a holiday. The public wants answers, not out-of-office replies.

Reform UK's leader launches a six-week summer crime campaign, promising to deport criminals to prisons in El Salvador and halve crime overall. Could he deliver it?Ed Vaizey unpacks the politics of the day with Charlotte Ivers and Patrick Kidd. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nigel Farage is pledging to halve crime in Britain if Reform UK gets into the government.In a speech in central London this morning, the Reform leader unveiled plans for a sweeping overhaul of Britain's justice system, including 30,000 new prison places and 30,000 new police officers on the streets. It comes as a new J L Partners survey puts Reform six points ahead of Labour and a staggering 12 points ahead of the Tories.He's promising that no violent criminal or sex offender will be released early under his watch, and that foreign offenders will be sent back to their countries - or even jailed overseas in countries like El Salvador.Camilla and Tim were there to witness the announcement as Farage says it's time to end “two-tier justice” in Britain.

KeirStarmer #MigrantCrisis, #NationalEmergency#NigelFarage #JonGaunt Small boat crossings have now passed 23,000 since Keir Starmer took office — a staggering figure that exposes the scale of the UK's border crisis.  Today's Mail on Sunday reveals disturbing reports of migrant crime inside taxpayer-funded hotels, while MPs head off on a six-week holiday.  Forget six-week holidays — the Cabinet should be manning the border, not sunbathing while the country is in crisis. Meanwhile, the government continues to hide behind excuses about “14 years of Tory rule,” instead of presenting a real plan. The truth is, the British people are fed up — and they're right to be. Enough is enough — Keir Starmer must declare a National State of Emergency.  Our borders are wide open, crime is rising, and public anger is boiling over. This is no longer just a political issue — it's a national security crisis. While Labour stalls and dithers, only figures like Nigel Farage seem willing to speak the truth and propose real solutions. And with protests and riots now erupting in places like Epping, it's clear the country has reached its breaking point.

The revelation that the government concealed a huge story about the resettlement of people from Afghanistan after their lives were put at risk by a data breach has left Westminster reeling. So why was it allowed to be kept secret for so long? And what could the fallout be? The Guardian's political correspondent Kiran Stacey joins John Harris to discuss. Plus, Harris speaks to Ed Miliband, the energy security and net zero secretary, about his plans to tackle the climate crisis, why it's becoming a culture war issue, and how to combat that.

Starmer's Youth Vote Gamble: Will It Save Him – or Sink Him Starmer #VotingAge #UKPolitics #ReformUK #Farage #JonGaunt Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner have announced plans to lower the voting age to 16. But is this genuine democratic reform — or a last-ditch attempt to rig the next General Election? In this explosive live broadcast, Jon Gaunt breaks down the truth behind Labour's latest move: ✅ Why giving 16-year-olds the vote could backfire on Starmer ✅ How Farage, Reform UK, and Corbyn's Gaza Party could benefit instead ✅ Starmer's record-breaking purge of Labour MPs – 10 whip withdrawals in 12 months ✅ The hypocrisy of letting teens vote but not smoke, drink or join the army ✅ Why many young voters are disillusioned with Labour and shifting to extremes  This isn't about democracy — it's about desperation. Join the chat, sound off, and let's expose the political theatre for what it really is.

Nigel Farage and Reform UK are a real threat to Labour and the Conservatives alike.We've heard a lot about the strengths of the challenger party - who would be likely to form the next government if an election was held tomorrow.But one political polling analyst has been exploring where the Reform brand is most vulnerable to attack - and he reveals his results exclusively in this episode of the New Statesman podcast.Steve Akehurst is founder of the non-partisan research initiative Persuasion UK. He joins Anoosh Chakelian and Rachel Cunliffe to share the arguments Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems can use that are most likely to turn voters away from Nigel Farage and Reform UK.This episode is a must-listen for political strategists, speechwriters and MPs.

UKPolitics #Jaguar #Deliveroo #Migrants #JonGaunt The UK is finished — and no one in power is telling you the truth. Illegal immigration is out of control. Migrants are working in the black economy while living in taxpayer-funded hotels — and companies like Deliveroo and Just Eat are turning a blind eye.  Our national identity is being sold off. Jaguar, once a symbol of British engineering, has ditched its roots and gone full woke.  And now, we let French President Macron speak in our Parliament, but Donald Trump — a close ally to Britain — is banned. What does that tell you?  Where is the outrage? Where are our values? I'm Jon Gaunt, and in this video, I'm pulling no punches. We're talking about mass immigration, corporate betrayal, political weakness, and the death of British pride.

Reform UK has claimed its biggest scalp so far with Sir Jake Berry, close friend and ally of Boris Johnson and former Conservative Cabinet minister, joining its ranks. Can Reform break the mould of British politics and vie for power at the next election? In this week's episode of Westminster Insider: Summer Interviews, Anne McElvoy talks to MP Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform. He led the party before Nigel Farage decided to return to frontline politics at last year's general election. Despite rising in the polls, gaining Tory defectors and emerging victorious in the local elections, Reform has had to contend with several high-profile resignations and personnel disputes. Now in power in 10 councils across England, can it prove that it can be a party of power as well as disrupting the status quo?  They discuss French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit to the U.K., the small boats crisis and Reform's policies on the economy, education and social issues.

This week the political masterminds consider what's happening on the populist left and right, with more Tories defecting to Reform UK and talk of a new party led by Jeremy Corbyn. How small has the Conservative coalition become, do the voters expect Keir Starmer to wield a 'magic wand', and what would a new party be called?Send your comments and questions to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

JonGaunt #UKImmigrationCrisis #MigrantCrisisUK #Starmer #Macron #NigelFarage Keir Starmer has signed a surrender deal with France and President Macron.  This "one in, one out" migrant deal will do nothing to stop illegal crossings of the Channel by small boats. The UK is in a border crisis.  We don't need weak deals—we need to declare a national emergency, close our borders, and take serious action. As Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, demands—put the troops on the beaches of Dover, deploy the Navy in the Channel, and stop the migrant taxi service! We need tough deterrents like Rwanda deportations.  End the UK's image as a “migrant El Dorado” by closing the migrant hotels, speeding up deportations, and leaving the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) immediately.  It's time to act like a sovereign nation again.

Hundreds of migrants have crossed the Channel this morning, far outnumbering the handful who could be returned to France under Sir Keir Starmer's new “one in, one out” migrant deal with Emmanuel Macron. As the French president arrived at No 10 for last-minute talks, The Telegraph watched boats packed with young men leaving Gravelines beach at dawn while French police stood by. Later, 74 men, a woman and three children were handed over to Border Force by the French Navy, who even asked for the migrants' life jackets back.Critics warn that returning around 50 migrants a week will do little to reduce crossings, raising questions over Labour's Channel crisis strategy. Camilla and Gordon are joined by Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp to discuss why the deal is a disaster for Britain and how Starmer has lost control of the border. Meanwhile, Reform UK is shaking up Westminster again. Nigel Farage was heckled at PMQs while raising concerns about illegal migration and ex-Tory MP Jake Berry has become the latest to defect to Reform.

Macron's Right: UK Is a Soft Touch for Migrants #UKMigration #MigrantCrisis #EmmanuelMacron #StopTheBoats #UKPolitics #JonGaunt In this video, Jon Gaunt tackles the migrant crisis gripping Britain. French President Emmanuel Macron has called the UK a “soft touch” for illegal migrants—and he's not wrong. The UK has already paid France over £500 million to “stop the boats,” yet Channel crossings continue to surge. While British taxpayers fund France's failed promises, UK Border Force struggles with the endless stream of migrant boats. Even King Charles has now mentioned “irregular migration” in his speech—words carefully scripted by Keir Starmer's government. It's clear: Britain's immigration policy is broken. Watch as Jon Gaunt exposes: - The £500 million wasted on France - Emmanuel Macron's brutal words about the UK - How Starmer's government is quietly shifting the migration narrative - Why the migrant crisis keeps escalating. This is a MUST-WATCH for anyone fed up with illegal migration, weak border controls, and political double-speak.

Political scientist and author Matt Goodwin returns to The Winston Marshall Show for a conversation on mass immigration, national identity, and Britain's deepening political crisis.Goodwin argues that the postwar political consensus—built on liberalism, globalism, and open borders—is collapsing. He reveals how mass migration has not only reshaped Britain's economy but fractured its social fabric, leaving the working class abandoned and the political elite increasingly out of touch.They dive into the failures of both major parties, the rise of Reform UK, and the growing demand for a new politics rooted in national sovereignty, cultural confidence, and democratic accountability.All this—immigration, integration, elite delusion, and the coming realignment of British politics…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 05:41 Keir Starmer's Immigration Policies and Border Security 15:21 Economic and Social Impacts of Mass Migration21:21 The Decline of the Working Class32:01 Multiculturalism & Division37:23 Immigration and the New Consensus43:10 The Class Realignment52:22 The Role of the Political Class and the Public 1:10:00 The Future of Immigration Policy in the UK 1:17:03 Challenges of Multiculturalism and Political Leadership 1:20:38 The Instinctive British Identity Hosted on Acast.
