After some weeks on the periphery of British politics, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are back in the spotlight with the debut of 'Operation Fortess' – their plan to deploy the Navy to stop the small boat crossings in the channel. Is it just a headline-grabbing gimmick or will it actually work – and is it even a new idea? To answer the important questions, James Heale is joined by Christian Calgie, Senior Political Correspondent-at-Large at the Daily Mail, to talk over the plans set out this morning.Produced by Natasha Feroze and Henry LloydBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

France says Reform UK's proposals to use the Royal Navy to return migrants attempting to cross the Channel in small boats would violate its sovereignty and breach international law. Also: The English and Welsh Football Associations withdraw support for Gianni Infantino as Fifa president. And the journalist and former Today programme editor Rod Liddle dies aged 66.

Nigel Farage has promised that Reform UK would call in the navy to tackle small boat Channel crossings. Will this familiar-sounding immigration policy distract from the party's internal problems? Plus – as we learn more about Andy Burnham's plans for devolution, is this the biggest rewiring of the UK state since the second world war?.

Will the Right finally unite? Restore's Rupert Lowe has extended an 'olive branch' to Reform UK's Nigel Farage, suggesting a pact with red lines that political pundits say are unworkable. Does Rupert Lowe really mean what he is proposing, or is it simply more politicking and the beginnings of an attempted coup? All will be revealed in time. The timing of the proposal has sparked interest, with Nigel arguably still being politically wounded from deep dives into who some of his Party donors are. Discussing all this is Talk's Ian Collins, in for Jeremy Kyle, joined by: Reform UK's shadow home secretary Zia Yusuf, chair of Great British PAC Ben Habib, Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp, former political editor of The Sun Trevor Kavanagh, Talk's international editor Isabel Oakeshotte, and political strategist Peter Barnes.

British politics has become a farce, with Andy Burnham now the United Kingdom's seventh prime minister in a decade. And no one knows what he really stands for or if he'll even outlast the last six, as Daniel Hannan, head of the Institute of Economic Affairs and independent member of the House of Lords, tells Brian. They discuss the reason why so many prime ministers keep falling, and what the new Labour leader's chances look like. They also get into the fates of Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives and Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, and why Hannan thinks they both need to take an important lesson from Canada's Conservative party to beat Labour and start cleaning things up in Britain.

Ten years ago, Britain voted to leave the European Union in one of the most consequential political decisions of the 21st century. Supporters promised greater sovereignty, stronger economic growth, and a more independent future. Instead, Brexit ushered in a decade of political upheaval, economic uncertainty, and a fundamental rethinking of Britain's role in the world. On this episode of the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with former UK cabinet minister Rory Stewart to assess Brexit's legacy a decade later. They discuss whether the referendum's core promises have been fulfilled, why Britain's economy has struggled to regain momentum, and how the global shift toward tariffs, industrial policy, and geopolitical competition changed the landscape just as the UK struck out on its own. The conversation also explores the remarkable rise of Nigel Farage—from Brexit architect to leader of Reform UK—and the financial scandal that now threatens his anti-establishment image. Stewart explains why Britain has cycled through seven prime ministers in ten years, whether Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham represents a new political alternative, and why voter frustration continues to reshape British politics. Finally, Bremmer and Stewart examine Britain's changing relationship with Europe and the United States, the future of the transatlantic alliance, and what the UK's experience can tell us about the broader challenges facing Western democracies.

Andy Burnham's first week as prime minister has been decisive, optimistic and proactive. Labour has overtaken Reform UK in the polls for the first time in more than a year. Now Burnham is taking on education and social care reform: knotty political questions with many landmines. We look at the pitfalls that lie ahead.Zack Polanski's Green Party is losing support. And as Reform and the Conservatives fight to be the main party of the right, how does the new Labour government change things for Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch?

Reform UK has referred Green party leader Zack Polanski to the police for "inciting murder" after a post he shared on social media.The image, shared and then deleted on Instagram, showed a man wearing a tee shirt with the words “we're only making plans for Nigel” next to a picture of a guillotine.Farage has said: "“If I was to post anything as inciteful then I would expect to be arrested, and so should Polanski”. The police are now "conducting inquiries".The Greens say that Polanski “condemns the image on the tee shirt” and that he had only ever accepted being tagged in a post that contained 20 images “without realising there was more to it than he had seen”.Has Polanski crossed a line? Is he too online? And why are Reform quick to defend people like Lucy Connolly but now calling for the arrest of a rival party leader?Later, Andy Burnham unveils plans for vocational education to be offered from the age of fourteen, with bespoke training tapping into the local jobs market. It's a far cry from the Blair-era push to get as many young people into university as possible. Does it make sense given the shifting jobs market? Or does he risk denigrating universities and one of the few success stories of modern Britain?The News Agents is a Global Production.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

The May 7 elections for the Senedd, Welsh Parliament, returned devastating results for Welsh Labour, who lost government for the first time since devolution in 1999. It received just 11% of the vote and was reduced from 44 seats to just 9.  Meanwhile the far-right Reform UK party gained 34 seats with 29.3% of the vote and the centre-left Welsh nationalist party Plaid Cymru formed government for the first time, with 35.4% of the vote winning them 43 seats, up from 23 the previous election.  The Conservatives also suffered, losing 22 seats, while the Greens won their first ever seats in the Senedd.  The result shows a clear rejection of the traditional parties of government, renewed interest in Welsh independence and the rising popularity of far-right politics seen in England and Scotland. Isaac Nellist spoke to An Cú from the Welsh Underground Network (WUN) about the political situation in Wales and WUNs community action approach to campaiging for an independent, socialist Wales.  Find out more about the Welsh Underground Network.

The weekly tracker of voting intention by the nonprofit agency More in Common shows Labour up four points to 28 percent while Reform dropped to 24 percent. UK correspondent Elizabeth Callaghan says Burnham's new cost of living policies are proving popular with voters, but Burnham's made it clear he's not getting carried away.

The appointment of Andy Burnham as UK Prime Minister seems to be having a positive effect on his party. For the first time in over a year, Labour has overtaken Reform UK in a voter intention poll – Labour rising to 28% while Reform dropped to sit on 24%. UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking it's still very early days for Burnham, but clearly having a more dynamic leader and a better communicator is having a huge impact.

ELON MUSK PREDICTS UK CIVIL WAR: Is Britain Reaching Breaking Point? #ElonMusk #UKPolitics #CivilWar #IllegalImmigration #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live ELON MUSK says Britain is heading for a "reckoning." Some hear a warning. Others hear scaremongering. Tonight I'm asking whether we're ignoring the warning signs. In his extraordinary interview with The Economist, Musk doubled down on his fears that mass immigration, cultural division and political failure could push Britain towards civil conflict within the next twenty years. Is he completely wrong? Or is he saying out loud what millions of ordinary Britons are already worried about? Meanwhile, Andy Burnham still refuses to confront the issue of illegal immigration directly, despite mounting public concern over border security and national cohesion. We'll also examine recent warnings from security and political figures about the potential threat posed by hostile Iranian networks and whether Britain's borders are sufficiently secure in the current security climate. What is established fact? What remains allegation? And are politicians being honest about the risks? Today we'll ask: Is Elon Musk exaggerating—or simply recognising a growing problem? Why won't senior Labour figures confront illegal immigration head-on? Has Britain lost control of its borders? Are politicians putting political correctness ahead of public safety? Is the establishment refusing to have the debate millions of voters want? This isn't about fear. It's about asking difficult questions before it is too late. Join me  and tell me what YOU think.

ANN WIDDECOMBE'S SAVAGE MURDER – IS THIS WHAT BRITAIN HAS BECOME?  #AnnWiddecombe #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #NigelFarage #ReformUK #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics  The details emerging from court are almost impossible to comprehend. A court has heard that Joshua Kerry walked into Ann Widdecombe's kitchen while she was eating lunch and struck her 21 times on the head with a hammer. He then allegedly tipped her out of her chair, took her wallet and drove away.  Twenty-one blows. Inside her own home. While she was simply sitting down to eat her lunch. Whatever the eventual verdict, the allegations presented in court paint a horrifying picture of brutality. Tonight I'm asking a bigger question: What the hell has happened to Britain? This is not simply about one appalling killing. It is about the growing sense that our country has become harder, colder and more violent.  Too many elderly people are frightened inside their own homes. Too many criminals appear to have no respect for life. Too many decent, law-abiding people feel abandoned by a system that seems incapable of protecting them. But there is another deeply disturbing question that must also be examined.  Was Ann Widdecombe targeted because of who she was and what she believed? We do not yet know whether politics played any part in this killing. That is a matter for the evidence and ultimately the court. But the question cannot simply be dismissed. Was this solely a savage robbery, or was there also a political motive?  And if Ann Widdecombe was targeted because of her beliefs, what would that say about the toxic state of politics in modern Britain? For years, political opponents have been demonised rather than debated. Public figures are abused, threatened and treated as though they are not human beings. Social media rewards hatred, outrage and intimidation. Have we allowed legitimate political disagreement to become poisonous? Have we created a climate where people are no longer merely challenged over their views, but despised because of them? How did we reach a point where an elderly woman could allegedly be attacked with such unimaginable violence in the sanctuary of her own kitchen? Has the collapse of personal responsibility, family values, discipline and respect for authority created a society where acts of extreme violence are becoming increasingly normalised? Have politicians of every party failed in their most basic duty — to protect the public? Tonight we will examine the shocking evidence heard in court, ask whether there is any indication that the killing was politically motivated, and debate what this dreadful case tells us about crime, public safety and the state of modern Britain. Is this what the United Kingdom has become? Or is there still a way back?  Join me live, have your say and tell me what you think.

Cé go bhfuair Burnham, a bheidh ina sheachtú Príomh-Aire ar an mBreatain le deich mbliana anuas, ainmniúcháin ó 322 de na 403 Feisire de chuid Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre, tá dúshláin go leor roimhe anois,agus gan ach trí bliana fágtha den téarma rialtais. Beidh na fadhbanna tromchúiseacha ba chúis le titim a réamhtheachtaí, Sir Keir Starmer, faoi chúram iar-Mhéara Mhanchain go luath, lena n-áirítear míshástacht an phobail leis an rialtas, na géarchéimeanna leanúnacha sa Mheánoirthear agus an brú atá ag teacht ó ghrúpaí éagsúla chun caiteachas cosanta a mhéadú gan cáin ioncaim a ardú. Ní hé Burnham an t-aon pholaiteoir mór le rá sa Bhreatain atá i gcruachás faoi láthair, áfach. Tá ceisteanna crua le freagairt ag a phríomh-iomaitheoir, Nigel Farage, ceannaire an pháirtí Reform UK, tar éis teacht chun solais gur ghlac Farage le cúig mhilliún punt ó bhilliúnaí criptea-airgeadra. I measc ábhair imní gur sciúradh airgid a bhí ar siúl, tá an síntiús á fhiosrú anois ag an National Crime Agency, agus idir an dá linn, tá Farage tar éis éirí as a phost mar Fheisire Parlaiminte do Clacton, agus é ag súil go léireodh fothoghchán úr tacaíocht an phobail dó féin agus don mhaíomh gur íospartach den chóras oifigiúil é. Mar fhreagra, tá sé fógartha ag Páirtí an LuchtOibre, na Coimeádaigh, na Glasaigh agus na Daonlathaithe Liobrálacha nach mbeidh siad ag seasamh san fhothoghchán, agus is cosúil gurb é cuairteoir ón spás amuigh, darb ainm Count Binface, a bheidh ina phríomh-iomaitheoir do Farage.Dea-scéala do lucht leanúna an cheoil Éireannaigh a nascann an traidisiún leis an turgnamh, tá Trá Pháidín ar ais le halbam nua, go gairid i ndiaidh An A24 ón mbliain seo caite. Tarraingíonn an t-albam nua, Cloch ‘s Claí, inspioráid ón úrscéal aoiriúil cáiliúil le Myles na gCopaleen, An Béal Bocht, agus pléann sé an gaol idir an Ghaeltacht agus an chuid eile d'Éirinn chomhaimseartha, agus béim ar leith á cur ar chúrsaí tithíochta, ar fhadhbannaeacnamaíocha agus ar cheisteanna féiniúlachta. Is é seo an chéad eisiúint ag an ngrúpa ar an lipéad World of Echo, atá lonnaithe i Londain, agus a dhíolann ceirníní ó cheoltóirí ceannródaíocha ar fud an domhain, agus mar thoradh air sin,tabharfaidh sé deis do lucht éisteachta idirnáisiúnta aithne a chur ar an dream as Conamara. Tar éis 102 cluiche agus breis agus mí a bhí lán de scileanna iontacha, botúin thubaisteacha, taispeántais laochúla, moilleanna de bharr VAR agus conspóid pholaitiúil, tá Corn an Domhain ag druidim chun deiridh. Cé gurb iad an Spáinn rogha na coitiantachta, tar éis dóibh an Fhrainc a shárú in Dallas oíche Dé Máirt, le cúil ó Mikel Oyarzabal agus Pedro Porro, beidh neart le déanamh acu chun an lámh in uachtar a fháil ar an Airgintín, atá ag filleadh ar an gcluiche ceannais mar seaimpíní gan chloí tar éis bua cáiliúil i gcoinne Shasana ag Staid Atlanta oíche Dé Céadaoin. Níos cóngaraí don bhaile, ar lá spóirt lán le haicsean, fillfidh Gaillimh ar Chluiche Ceannais Iomána na hÉireann den chéad uair ó 2018, agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar fhoireann Luimnigh atá sa tóir ar a séú theideal in ocht mbliana. Beidh Gaillimh ag súil go mbeidh an tosaí Rory Burke i mbarr a réime arís tar éis an gortú a d'fhulaing sé i gcluiche ceannais Laighean, agus tá faoiseamh ar fhir na Mumhan go bhfuil a gcaptaen, Cian Lynch, réidh le himirt tar éis dó a bheith as láthair ón mbua ar Chontae an Chláir. *GLUAISréamhtheachtaí - predecessorspás amuigh - outer spaceturgnamh - experimentaoiriúil - satiricalrogha na coitiantachta - the favourite to win i mbarr a réime - at the top of his game

Starmer has said his formal goodbyes and is somewhere in Ukraine trying to remind the world and future employers that he has international reach and influence. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham prepares to take over the top job as prime minister on Monday. It seems he is doing this by stealth, with MPs not being able to take a good look at him in the Commons before the Summer recess.

Joining Jeremy Kyle to discuss all this: Assistant comment editor at the Telegraph, Poppy Coburn, former government special advisor, James Price, Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, Reform UK's mayoral candidate for London, Laila Cunningham, co-founder of Survivors Against Terror, Brendan Cox, and TalkSPORT reported Max Scott.

England's World Cup dream is over, Burnham's is just beginning. Yes, England are out of the tournament but not before Argentina gave them one final dose of argy-bargy and an ill-judged Falklands banner. Marina and Jemma unpack the match and discuss why a rare moment of warmth between Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch left them strangely emotional.Elsewhere, Reform UK descend into full panic mode as the government's small boats figures improve and the Trawl ladies discuss Burnham's first comments on Labour's handling of Gaza and why they're dividing opinion. Plus, Elon Musk claims SpaceX will soon be worth more than the entire planet, Gary Stevenson explains why extreme wealth matters to all of us. To finish there's billionaire pudding for afters. Enjoy!

"Don't cry for us KEIR STARMER: TRUTH IS WE NEVER LOVED YOU!" #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #AnnWiddecombe # ReformUK #NigelFarage #BrokenBritain #KillList #UKPolitics With apologies to Elaine Paige and Andrew Lloyd Webber, but as England faces our old enemy Argentina in the World Cup today, it seems the perfect time to reflect on the fall of Keir Starmer. The truth is, the British people never truly warmed to this man. Between the "Dalek" delivery and the charisma of a paper bag, he has remained fundamentally out of touch. It was sickening to witness him today, still in total denial, actually claiming he has left the UK in a better place than he found it! While the Commons engaged in a sick pantomime of back-slapping and "in-jokes," they ignored the dreadful reality of the country. In a week where Ann Widdecombe has been assassinated, our nation has never been more divided. Now, chilling details are emerging from a Zia Yusuf emergency press conference about a "kill list" targeting other Reform politicians. How have we reached a state where there is such visceral hate toward politicians on the right? Starmer, his party, and their supporters in the mainstream press have spent years fuelling this fire. Today should not have been a celebratory swan song. Starmer should have proposed that the Commons sit for another week to address the consequences of Ann's murder and demand answers on how the "broken Britain" he leaves behind will actually be fixed. With Nigel Farage now facing ten death threats a day, democracy itself is under attack. It's time for the truth.

Well folks, it's a week of unprecedented political shifts and fast-moving news. This week, Lesley and Fraser digest a historic transition as Keir Starmer departs and Andy Burnham takes over as the new Prime Minister. We unpack the massive policy choices landing immediately on the new PM's desk—from splitting the Treasury to making defining calls on North Sea energy.Meanwhile, Reform UK launches a bizarre, hostile bid to criminalize the Scots Gaelic language in election materials, Nigel Farage braces for a resumed standards committee investigation in Clacton, and fresh historic accounts stir up the debate on independent campaign funds. Finally, we reflect on the tragic murder of Anne Widdecombe, the toxic rush of social media narratives, and why the simple, civil connections of community—and a bit of no-nonsense Scottish gardening—keep us grounded.1.

Richie is joined by Tony Gosling and Marilyn Hawes. Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe after "new information and evidence" came to light, officers have said. A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday, has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the suspect was not known to the government's Prevent anti-terror scheme. Widdecombe, a 78-year-old former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, was found dead at her home in Devon, having sustained serious injuries. To discuss this and more, Richie is joined by the writer and broadcaster, Tony Goslinghttps://politicsthisweek.gn.apc.org/Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is to set out the legal steps she will take to deport the freed ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang. Shabir Ahmed, jailed for 22 years in 2012 for multiple counts of child sexual offences including rape, was released from prison on licence earlier this month. Calls have mounted across the political spectrum for the deportation of Ahmed, who was stripped of his British citizenship following his conviction, leaving him with only Pakistani nationality. But he cannot be deported due to a 1971 law that forbids the removal of a small group of Commonwealth citizens who arrived in the UK more than 50 years ago. To discuss this Richie is joined by Marilyn Hawes. Marilyn is a former teacher who campaigns tirelessly to educate children, parents and teachers on how to protect kids from groomers. https://freedom-abuse.org/

Nigel Farage has announced his resignation as the MP for Clacton, triggering a byelection in which he intends to stand as a candidate. The Reform UK leader is under scrutiny over his finances, with two investigations by the parliamentary standards watchdog over undeclared gifts. During a 15-minute press conference, he accused the media of a ‘pile-on' over his personal finances, and harassment of his family. He said his decision was part of ‘sticking two fingers up at the establishment' and would prove the public want him to stay on as an MP.
