Politicians are finally waking up to the folly of Net Zero. The Tories have called for drilling in the North Sea. Reform UK wants to lift the ban on fracking. But the UK's Labour government remains totally committed to renewables, no matter the costs. Here, Kathryn Porter – energy consultant and founder of Watt-Logic – explains why Britain's bet on wind power has proved so disastrous. The result is rising prices, deindustrialisation and even the risk of major blackouts. The time to change course, she says, is now.

Reform UK's annual conference wrapped up this weekend – and it was anything but dull. From Andrea Jenkyns belting out her original song ‘I'm an Insomniac' on stage to Nigel Farage trying to keep a sometimes chaotic movement united, the mood was more rally than conference. Despite the optimism in the room, there were obvious cracks under the surface: mainly, do Reform have enough experience in their ranks for the business of serious government?On Coffee House Shots, Oscar Edmondson is joined by Tim Shipman and James Heale fresh from the conference floor. They discuss Farage's role as ringmaster of a broad – and sometimes unruly – coalition, Reform's hopes of fielding thousands of councillors, and the dangers of drifting too close to the conspiratorial edges of politics.Also on the podcast, there has been a steady drip of reshuffle news over the weekend. Starmer's snap reshuffle saw Shabana Mahmood promoted to the Home Office in what many see as the most significant move of the week. With boats and hotels dominating the immigration debate, can she succeed where so many of her predecessors have failed? And what does Angela Rayner's departure mean for the deputy leadership – and Labour's uneasy relationship with the unions?Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Keir Starmer's Labour government seems to be in big trouble, with opinion polls suggesting the possibility of a dramatic reshaping of British electoral politics in favour of Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The resignation of deputy prime minister Angela Rayner last week has shown yet more Labour weakness for Farage to eagerly exploit. It's all happening against a backdrop of deepening divisions over subjects including immigration, taxation, the economy, Gaza and freedom of speech. London correspondent Mark Paul has been trying to keep up with it all. He talks to Hugh on today's podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
At the Reform conference in Birmingham, the Spectator's editor Michael Gove sat down with Reform UK's head of their department of government efficiency Zia Yusuf. They discussed Labour's track record in government, Zia's faith and his tech background, why leader Nigel Farage is his political hero and how AI could change Britain. Hosted on Acast.

Pippa Crerar and Kiran Stacey discuss the fallout from Angela Rayner's resignation and Keir Starmer's subsequent cabinet reshuffle. Why has Rayner's departure raised concerns among union leaders? Who could become the next deputy Labour leader? And, what does the reshuffle tell us about the direction of travel for the government? Plus, Pippa and Kiran reflect on Reform UK's conference and the challenges ahead for Nigel Farage. -- Send your questions and thoughts to politicsweeklyuk@theguardian.com.

UK is SINKING under STARMER. #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation 12 months after Labour's landslide victory the UK is sinking under the leadership of Keir Starmer. What a mess! The Cabinet reshuffle last week has been widely derided as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and it appears the Captain of the ship, Starmer is not at the wheel. He wanted to sack Ed Miliband. He refused to shift so the net zero nonsense continues. Starmer moved others around but left the architect of many of his problems in position, Rachel Reeves. He has a new Home secretary in the shape of Shabana Mahmood who is talking tough but without ripping up the ECHR and mass deportation, the UK will still hit that massive illegal immigration iceberg. Now Starmer is talking about Digital ID cards to combat illegal working thereby penalising us all for the failure of politicians to secure our borders or control all forms of immigration. Instead of hiding in his bunker, Starmer should address the Nation, declare a State of Emergency, apologise for the 12 months of chaos, and actually listen to the demands of the people and act upon them. What do you think?

La viceprimera ministra del Reino Unido, Angela Rayner, dimitió este viernes tras admitir que había declarado mal a Hacienda la compra de una vivienda en la localidad costera de Hove, a más de 400 kilómetros de su circunscripción en el Gran Manchester. El error le reportó el beneficio de ahorrarse unos 46.000 euros en impuestos. El diario Daily Telegraph había publicado la exclusiva unos días antes y, tras una investigación en el seno del Gobierno, se concluyó que era cierto y a Rayner no le quedó otra salida que presentar su renuncia a Keir Starmer. Rayner pertenecía al círculo cercano de Starmer. Es de origen humilde y dedicó buena parte de su carrera a los sindicatos. Tras ello se convirtió en uno de los rostros más reconocibles del ala izquierda del partido Laborista. Rayner es, por ejemplo, una gran defensora de subir los impuestos, especialmente a las rentas altas, para aliviar los problemas de déficit que arrastra el Gobierno. Paradójicamente su dimisión ha tenido que ver con una cuestión fiscal por la compra de un apartamento de lujo que le costó más un millón de euros. Para Starmer la dimisión de su número dos es un golpe más que deberá encajar en un momento especialmente delicado para él y su Gobierno. El partido Laborista obtuvo una sólida mayoría en Westminster en las elecciones del año pasado. Prometieron un nuevo tiempo caracterizado por la estabilidad después de unos años marcados por los escándalos de los sucesivos gabinetes conservadores. De eso ha pasado poco más de un año y tanto Starmer como el laborismo se encuentran hundidos en los sondeos y con la popularidad en mínimos. La salida de Rayner se produce además después de un verano muy caliente, plagado de titulares de prensa sobre el fracaso del Gobierno para detener el flujo solicitantes de asilo que cruzan el canal de la Mancha en pateras. La cuestión migratoria se complicó poco después con la sentencia de un tribunal que ordenó cerrar un hotel en Epping, una ciudad al norte de Londres, que el Gobierno había contratado para alojar inmigrantes en espera de su resolución de asilo. Rayner daba al Gobierno cierta determinación y fervor ideológico. En un gabinete formado por gente anodina y gris, a la viceprimera ministra le gustaba fajarse con los conservadores, incluso teniéndolos ya en la oposición. Gracias a ella Starmer conseguía mantener bajo control a los más izquierdistas del partido, para quienes Rayner era su principal activo. Sin ella y tras tener que sofocar una rebelión de sus diputados más radicales hace unos meses por anunciar una serie de recortes en las prestaciones sociales, Starmer tendrá que apañárselas para evitar una revuelta a mucha mayor escala que podría llegar a costarle el puesto. Rayner podría de este modo recuperar protagonismo, pero esta vez como referente de la oposición a Starmer tanto en el partido como en el parlamento si, a sus ojos, sigue moviendo su Gobierno hacia la derecha para contrarrestar el auge de Nigel Farage y su partido, Reform UK, que se encuentra ya ocho puntos por encima de los laboristas según las encuestas de intención de voto. Para tratar este tema y sus muchas implicaciones, entre las que se encuentra la suerte política del propio Starmer, vuelve Paco Muñoz a La ContraCrónica, desde un estudio que hemos improvisado en Cambridge. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.

Can Starmer Survive as Farage Sets UK Politics Agenda? #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #JonGaunt #CloseHotels Nigel Farage has basically taken over the UK political agenda. Reform UK had its conference, the polls are moving fast, and we've even got Tory MPs jumping ship to join him. Meanwhile, Starmer suddenly wants to put illegal migrants in military camps and shut down migrant hotels — but let's be honest, it feels like he's copying Farage's homework. Too little, too late. But Farage? He's promising to rip up the ECHR and deport illegal migrants within two weeks of taking power. No wonder people say they trust him more than Labour or the Conservatives right now. Tonight, we'll break it all down: the polls, the defections, the immigration debate, and what this all means for the next election. Plus I will debate whether the old parties can fight back — or if Farage has already won the argument.

Ben Wright and guests analyse Keir Starmer's reshuffle and the Reform UK conference.
The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, has backtracked on his pledge to stop small boats crossing the Channel within two weeks of entering government. Sir Keir Starmer's new chief secretary has denied that the Cabinet reshuffle is evidence of a government in crisis. Police have made around 150 arrests at a demonstration in London in support of the banned group, Palestine Action.
In Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, Britain has a double-edged sword: one of the most anglophile U.S. administrations of all time – but a greater awareness of UK domestic politics. From Lucy Connolly to the recent arrest of Graham Linehan at Heathrow airport, there is much chatter in America about free speech in Britain and whether it is under threat, especially from the American right. Author Ed West and Spectator World contributor Lee Cohen join Freddy Gray to discuss how much this is cutting through with Americans, what this means for UK-US relations and the new dynamic caused by Reform UK's success.Produced by Megan McElroy and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

It wasn't the start to the new parliamentary term that Prime Minister Keir Starmer hoped for. His insistence that his focus is now on “delivery, delivery, delivery” was eclipsed by the furore surrounding the deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, over her tax affairs. To discuss where her precarious position leaves Starmer, plus his attempts to get the economic agenda back on track, host George Parker is joined by political correspondent Anna Gross, FT columnist and author of the daily Inside Politics newsletter Stephen Bush, and FT economics commentator Chris Giles.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 5 septembre 2025 avec Georgina Wright, spécialiste des questions européennes au German Marshall Fund, un think tank transatlantique.Depuis le mois de juillet et l'agression sexuelle présumée d'un demandeur d'asile sur une adolescente, l'accueil de réfugiés dans des hôtels suscite une grogne grandissante à travers le Royaume-Uni. Il s'agit du point de départ d'une vague de manifestations anti-immigration sans précédent outre-Manche. Plusieurs hôtels britanniques sont le théâtre de rassemblements contre l'accueil de réfugiés. Depuis 2022, c'est dans ces hôtels, sur initiative des conservateurs alors au pouvoir, que les demandeurs d'asile sont hébergés, faute de logements d'urgence suffisants. Ils sont aujourd'hui 32 000 à vivre dans 200 hôtels à travers le pays.Un ressentiment contre les immigrés qui pullule sur les réseaux sociaux et notamment entretenu par le coût pour l'État britannique de l'hébergement des réfugiés, estimé à plus de 4,7 milliards de livres sterling (5,4 milliards d'euros) par an. Sur le plan politique, le parti d'extrême droite Reform UK et son leader Nigel Farage - qui caracole en tête des enquêtes d'opinion - n'ont eu cesse de souffler sur les braises du mécontentement. Alors que les conservateurs emboîtent le pas de Reform, à l'image de Robert Jenrick, ancien ministre de l'Immigration de Rishi Sunak, qui s'est déplacé à Epping pour soutenir les manifestants, les travaillistes de Keir Starmer sont tiraillés entre fermeté anti-immigration et nécessité de répondre à la crise de la politique d'asile. Entre juin 2024 et juin 2025, 111 084 personnes ont demandé l'asile au Royaume-Uni, selon le Home Office (ministère de l'Intérieur) soit une hausse de 14 % sur un an. Georgina Wright analysera avec nous la portée de ces manifestations anti-migrants au Royaume-Uni, et ce qu'elles révèlent du sentiment d'une partie de la population d'une immigration incontrôlée. Elle reviendra aussi sur les propositions du parti Refom UK de Nigel Farage, et sur son influence sur la politique britannique. Elle nous donnera enfin son analyse de la montée des extrêmes-droites en Europe, et sur ce que ce phénomène révèle sur nos sociétés.

A wet winter and dry spring means cereal crops were hard to sow and grew slowly. The result: straw short in stature and in short supply, so greater costs for livestock farmers as they prepare for housing their animals this winter. We hear from a Hay and Straw Merchant about the difficulty of sourcing their product after a difficult year for cereal growers. Party conference season gets underway today, with Reform UK gathering in Birmingham. We discuss whether they sense electoral opportunity in disaffected farming and fishing communities. And Charlotte Smith visits a Kent farm growing fruit with a little help from some predatory insects.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Sarah Swadling
As Reform's conference begins today, the party leads the opinion polls. Nigel Farage is attempting to portray himself as the next Prime Minister, but in places they already hold power - ten councils and two mayoral authorities - there have been hints of serious problems, from failed cost cutting measures to infighting and resignations. So is Reform ready for power?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Farage: UK Free Speech Crisis as Father Ted Creator Graham Linehan Arrested #GrahamLinehan #FatherTed #FreeSpeech #UKCensorship #Farage #MetPolice #IslamophobiaLaw #Jon Gaunt Free speech in Britain under siege? Is FREE SPEECH DEAD? Nigel Farage warns of a UK censorship crisis after Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is arrested by 5 armed cops at Heathrow over three tweets posted while he was in the U.S. Farage has already given explosive evidence in Congress as Labour pushes a new ‘Islamophobia' definition critics call a blasphemy law by the back door. Are we turning into North Korea? Met Police chief Mark Rowley demands clarity as officers face fury for policing tweets, not streets, amid the UK migrant crisis and heated hotel protests.

Nigel Farage Has Already Won the Next Election | Reform UK Surging Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast. #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKElection #JonGaunt #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #GeneralElection Nigel Farage claims victory before a single vote is cast — Reform UK's surge is shaking Britain's political establishment to its core. At the GB News launch party in Washington, D.C., Farage boasted he will win the next UK General Election and take the keys to No.10.] Fresh from roasting Congress over freedom of speech and speaking with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Farage says Reform UK is the only party offering real answers while Labour and the Tories collapse into chaos. The polls tell the story. Voters have had enough of the old parties — copying Farage's policies hasn't saved them. People want authenticity, not cheap imitations. On illegal migration, migrant hotels, and the growing sense that Starmer backs everyone but the British public, Farage has seized the ground. Add the Angela Rayner tax scandal and her refusal to resign, and it's clear: Britain's political class is finished. Reform UK is rising — and Farage says he's already won. What do you think?
