Let Farage get Trade Deal with Trump.  #Brexit #Farage #Trump #TradeDeal  In this video, Jon Gaunt explores the potential of a groundbreaking trade deal between the UK and the USA, led by none other than Nigel Farage. President Trump's tariffs on the UK and EU, is a clear victory for Brexit but what if a trade agreement with the United States could bring those tariffs down to zero? Farage, the architect of Brexit, is in a unique position to help secure this deal.  Gaunty argues that Labour leader Keir Starmer should set aside partisan politics and invite Farage onto the negotiating team. After all, Trump has made it clear he's no fan of the EU, making this the perfect opportunity for the UK to strengthen its trade ties with the US.  Starmer must prioritise the British people and our sovereignty, putting aside his Remainer bias to put the UK first. Will Starmer step up for the nation or let the opportunity slip away? This video delves into why Farage is the key to a successful trade negotiation and why UK politics must look beyond the usual tribal divides for the benefit of the nation. We also discuss the future of UK-US relations and how Brexit plays a crucial role in shaping them. Don't miss this debate on British sovereignty, free trade, and what the future holds for our nation in a post-Brexit world.  Keywords and Search Terms: • UK politics • Brexit • Nigel Farage trade deal • UK US trade deal • Keir Starmer Brexit • Trump tariffs on UK • Farage and Trump trade talks • UK free trade agreement • Post-Brexit UK politics • UK sovereignty • Brexit news and updates • Brexit trade deals • UK trade negotiations • Farage Reform Party • Brexit victory • UK EU relations • Sovereign UK policy Tags: #Brexit #UKPolitics #Farage #Trump #TradeDeal #USUKTrade #KeirStarmer #BrexitTrade #Sovereignty #ReformParty #UKFreeTrade #PoliticalDebate #UKNews #BrexitVictory #PoliticsUK #FreeSpeech

I regard the crimes committed by the Pakistani Rape Gangs as some of the most barbaric, if not the most barbaric, given the scale of them, ever to have been perpetrated on British soil.Yet, while I knew they were bad, I don't think I realized quite how bad they are.I've just finished playing a judge - Judge Peter Rook - in a new "verbatim film," which recreates the sentencing word for word of one of the most notorious grooming cases in Oxford. What went on is horrifying.It's called "The Grooming Gangs Cover-Up." It is produced by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, founders of the Unreported Story Society, which specializes in verbatim dramas, plays, and podcasts, and it comes out this Tuesday, January 21. Here's the trailer:At times, I could not believe the words that were coming out of my mouth.I remember telling my elder son and daughter about these rape gangs back in the mid-2010s. Neither believed such a thing was possible. My son started googling. Even on the internet, there was little evidence of what was going on. Rapists are predominantly white, he concluded, and that was that in their minds.The internet had smothered the story.In 2020, when everybody was squabbling over Brexit, there was this campaign to get the Remainer anthem - Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" conducted by André Rieu - to the top of the charts in time for the day we left. Fighting a rearguard action, Leavers then tried to get my song about Brexit, "17 Million F*ck Offs," to Number One. The result is that quite a few singles got sold. The media loved the story, and it was all over the papers. But there is one thing they left out: that I donated the proceeds to the Maggie Oliver Foundation, a charity set up to help the victims of rape gangs. Even that got covered up. (I don't know what Rieu did with his royalties).Midjourney, an AI art app which I use to illustrate these articles, refuses to design me a picture to illustrate the title of today's piece. Cover up, like the crimes themselves, is still happening.A couple of years ago, my daughter-in-law was drugged by a Pakistani Bolt driver who had offered her a drink of water. This was in London - not Rotherham or Telford. Fortunately, the drug only kicked in after she had arrived at her destination and her friends looked after her. But what would have happened if that man had "helped out" by offering to take her home? How many other young girls have not been so lucky?I put a picture of the guy online along with a warning. There were a lot of comments underneath. Many of them were deemed racist. Such is the extent of the brainwashing in the name of multiculturalism, a comment is now deemed of greater concern than actual deeds. What is racism, anyway?I define it as the wilful persecution of someone on the grounds of their race. These white girls were the victims of racism. And sexism. And paedophilia. And rape. And GBH. And, in some cases, murder.They were targeted because of their race. They were called "white w****s," "white c*nts," and "white slags," and no amount of contempt was enough for them. Yet, of course, they were white, and apparently, whites cannot be the victims of racism. Whites are privileged, you know that.When is this two-tiered insanity going to stop? Is it not clear how much damage these false, progressive narratives, which we have let thrive, are doing?We need a clear discussion followed by a definition - not the definition of a race grifter - of what racism is. And the rules need to be the same for everyone. No more multi-tiered nonsense.These were racist crimes. And they went on for so long because those who should have put a stop to them were scared of being labelled racist. Rather than risk that slur, they threw children under the bus. Woke is, truly, cancerous. If you live in a remote rural village, and somebody of unusual appearance comes along, and you stare at them, that does not make you racist. Staring at what is unusual to you is normal. If you use a word that is now considered out-of-date, perhaps as a result of not mixing in sophisticated urban circles, with zero harmful intent that does not make you racist. However, if you target a little girl because she is white, then groom her, inject her with drugs, rape her, and then sell her body to people you know so they can rape her - well, that is racist. And a whole lot more besides.Let the truth be toldAt lunch the other day, I started to read out to my family some of the judge's sentencing remarks, which detail what happened. We got about two sentences in before it all got to be too much, and they didn't want to hear it. No surprise. What happened is beyond awful.Read the below if you can stomach it.How can one human being do something like this to another?The beauty of these verbatim dramas is that the creators cannot be accused of sensationalism or exaggeration. It is the truth. That is what needs to come out. We have to learn about what has happened if only to motivate ourselves and our leaders into doing something about this.It has been going on since the 1990s. It is still going on today. No more brushing it under the carpet in the name of multi-culturalism.The Jay Report claims that 1,400 children (that's just the under-age ones) were sexually exploited in Rotherham over 16 years. If you extrapolate that number over 50 other towns and cities, you arrive at roughly 70,000 victims. That is a conservative estimate. You can do similar extrapolations and come to a figure of a million. The likelihood is 250,000-500,000, given that we are talking about a period longer than 16 years and it has been happening in more than 50 locations. Kids!For sure, the cover-ups - the unwillingness to police, prosecute, publicize, or punish - meant the rape gangs went much further than they otherwise would. They thought they could get away with it.We need truth, even if it is unpalatable, if we are to stop things like this ever happening again.Most of these girls have never had anything like justice. How is a few years in prison anything like justice anyway?If you are buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times, I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here. The system does not work - smash itPrison is no longer sufficient punishment. It does not work as a deterrent. With almost 20% of inmates now Muslim and, according to a solicitor friend, with prisons now largely controlled on the inside by Muslim gangs, prison has become a place of indoctrination, radicalization, and Islamism. Thus, not only does imprisonment not work, it is actually counter-productive: it is creating offenders. Who'd've thought something run by government doesn't work as intended? Then prisoners get let out too early, especially to make room for people uttering wrong think on social media.Prison is also expensive - annual imprisonment now costs more than £50,000-100,000 per year per inmate, plus the costs of processing it all (police, courts, legal aid, etc) also amount to more than £50,000. As if what the rapist has done is not already bad enough, now we have to pay for him too. The courts are overwhelmed. The justice system is exploited. We need something different and better. It's long overdue. Horror stories like this one can at least motivate the required reform.There are other factors motivating the cover-up in my view. Policing your own community, where everybody knows who's who, everybody speaks the same language, and comes from the same culture is one thing. But policing another culture, where the language is different, the values are different - even the names are difficult - is much harder.It gets even harder when the majority of that culture feel a greater loyalty to their own people and culture than they do to what is right in the eyes of the host culture, or indeed the people of the host culture. If the alien culture does not integrate, it gets even harder. It was probably easier for the police to let stuff go, and focus on other things.Put your email in the box below and get my free guide to investing in gold.Here's a thoughtIn the largely secular UK, where the state now takes on responsibilities which were once borne by the church - education, care and so on - the state has also replaced religion. From Nigel Lawson to Polly Toynbee, it is now recognized that the NHS has become a religion.But the Pakistani communities that have taken over so many towns in the north and elsewhere do not feel the same sense of loyalty, protection, or worship to Britain's welfare state. It is something to take from rather than contribute to. They worship the Prophet Mohammed, not the NHS. I will wager a large bet that - especially in these communities where cash plays such a big role - they are paying much lower levels of tax than their earnings dictate. They will pay their Zakat long before they pay their VAT, Income or other taxes. Is HMRC policing these economies to the same extent? You know it isn't.Will a thorough investigation be commissioned? Of course it won't. That would be racist.More tiers, more iniquity, more injustice.But that's is another story, and it'll be years before that one comes out.

In this episode, we explore Ed Davey's proposal for the UK to rejoin the EU customs union. Reem Ibrahim, Tom Clougherty, and Kristian Niemietz demonstrate why this approach would be a backward step even from a Remainer perspective, highlighting how it would give Britain "the worst of all worlds" while restricting its ability to pursue independent trade deals. Their analysis reveals why the customs union was consistently the least beneficial aspect of EU membership for the UK, contrasting with the experience of smaller European nations. Moving to Britain's growth crisis, inspired by Janan Ganesh's thought-provoking FT article "Britain should stop pretending it wants more economic growth", our discussion delves into how politicians repeatedly choose other priorities - from environmental concerns to distribution effects - over growth-oriented policies. The team investigates the difficulties of garnering public support for pro-growth reforms at a time when younger generations lack experience of sustained economic expansion. Our final segment unpacks Labour's Renters' Rights Bill and its likely unintended consequences. The panel outlines how banning "no-fault evictions" and limiting deposits risks making landlords more selective, potentially discriminating against young people and those with irregular incomes. Through detailed analysis, they demonstrate why reducing rental market flexibility and pushing landlords to sell their properties could ultimately disadvantage the very tenants the legislation aims to protect, suggesting that increasing housing supply, rather than additional regulations, holds the key to empowering tenants.

European leaders have descended on Blenheim Palace with Keir Starmer promising a 'reset' in British-EU relations. But what will that look like in practice?To analyse Britain's future relationship with Europe, an arch-Remainer and a leading Brexit figure go head to head on the Daily T - former Downing Street director of communications Sir Craig Oliver and Lord Frost, Boris Johnson's Brexit negotiator.Plus, a damning report from the Covid Inquiry has found that ministers “failed their citizens” by preparing for the wrong pandemic. The inquiry's chair Baroness Hallett says failure to plan properly led to more deaths and greater costs to the economy, and that the UK will face “immense suffering” if it is not better prepared for the next pandemic, Camilla and Kamal react to the report with chief reporter Robert Mendick outside the Inquiry.

Most remembered for her failure to secure a Brexit deal, Theresa May was British Prime Minister between 2016 and 2019 and the longest-serving Home Secretary in over a century. A Remainer herself, her job as PM was to work out how the UK should honour the country's 2016 Brexit referendum. May's book The Abuse of Power: Confronting Injustice in Public Life argues for a radical rethink of politics and public life. From the Hillsborough to Grenfell Tower tragedies, The Abuse of Power exposes powerful people serving themselves or protecting their organisation, rather than serving the interests of the powerless.

Tory Civil wars were brewing...yet where was Rishi Sunak? Well, watching Man City win the treble apparently. Jemma and Marina try to make sense of the outrage and indigantion of the Johnson stooges, as their main man gets forced out of Government...by himself. It seems the blob has a lot to answer for. Apparently, the blob even blocked Brexit...which is curious, given we've all been told that Johnson got that done.  Next, it's onto Grant Shapps, AKA Sebastian Fox AKA any other number of false names, as Shapps was wheeled out on Sunday to do the Sunday morning media rounds. Though perhaps the early morning start had him confused, given he appeared to forget which way he voted in the Brexit referendum. The ladies touch upon Sunday's Laura Kuenssberg show where Laura had outdone herself not once, but twice. First by inviting Nigel Farage on to talk his usual unhinged bollocks, but secondly by calling anyone that would prefer her show to state facts rather than lies - a nerd.  Then the ladies wrap up with some Michelle Mone-favoured schadenfreude and a musical 'farewell Johnson' pudding that may just get stuck in your head...

Even those closest to Boris thought he was a Remainer. He liked to flirt with Eurosceptic views but had always been open about the benefits of remaining a member of the European Union.And then Guto gets a call from Boris's sister - "Boris is about to do something really stupid, you're the only one in the world I can think of who can stop him."Boris joined forces with Vote Leave and supported Brexit. But did he really understand the world he'd be drawn into?From the questionable promises made, to the tribe of people he became stuck with, Brexit propelled Boris Johnson to become the Prime Minister - but it was a house built on sand.Guto takes us through this unique, unrepeatable, and fast-moving time. He takes us into Number 10, a peek behind the curtain to see what really happened in a period that encapsulated Boris's rise to the very top of Government, to the chaos and scandals that would ultimately be his downfall.

Keir Starmer's column on Wednesday morning in right-wing tabloid newspaper The Express is another step in the Labour leader's transformation from all guns blazing Remainer to born again Brexiteer. But he's not the first Labour leader to turn to the right-leaning press to prove his prime ministerial credentials as the next general election draws ever closer.What does this mean for Labour and where does this leave Britain's place in the world, and its relationship with Europe if Labour are the next government in power? And what on earth is 'Securonomics' - the new economic model Starmer's potential Chancellor Rachel Reeves launched in Washington DC last week that will seek to boost post-Brexit Britain.Plus - the curious case of Joe Biden's former advisor fleeing to Moscow to seek 'safety' and citizenship. Hmm.

She won over the Conservative Party faithful. Now can she win over the UK? Our panel discusses the challenges ahead for prime minister-in-waiting Liz Truss. The one-time Remainer played the hardline Brexiteer in a sometimes bitter Tory leadership campaign, often courting comparisons with Britain's first female PM, Margaret Thatcher.

Inflation! Energy crisis! Cost of living! Inequality! Strikes! A government out of its depth and out of touch. And that's just 1978 … The latest episode of the SmallDataForum podcast opens with Thomas comparing the not-so-good old days of the Winter of Discontent in Britain with the dry bleak hot summer of 2022. Ah, 1978: when Margaret Thatcher was not yet Prime Minister, and the average CEO of a UK FTSE 100 company earned 11 times that of the average full-time worker (Equality Trust report). Fast forward to today when political weathervane Mary Elizabeth Truss, erstwhile anti-monarchist Liberal Democrat, committed Remainer and serial Maggie cosplayer, is given a 95% chance to be the new Prime Minister by 5 September. The median CEO / worker ratio is now well above 100 to 1. While wistfully recalling the rubbish heaps triggered by a general strike in ‘78/'79, Neville cites a long list of present societal afflictions that the UK's “zombie government” is unable to address, from inflation to climate change impact, energy bills to raw sewage dumped on beaches.

Patel's eviction flights to Rwanda fall apart at the last minute and spark the ire of the European Court of Human Rights. But is a blazing row with “European judges” exactly what this collapsing Government wants anyway? Plus the Good Friday Agreement goes under the Brexit bus, David Davis's “Remainer's Brexit”, and Carole Cadwalladr defeats Arron Banks in court. Jack Blanchard of Politico is our special guest. (This edition recorded before the resignation of Lord Geidt) Also this week: A tribute to Dom Phillips, the British journalist who was murdered in the Amazon, from his friend and colleague Dorian. “Yes it's a horrible fiasco and a waste of our money… But from a purely political point of view, the Government are probably rather pleased at how this is going.” – Jack Blanchard “If the Government had done the Rwanda story through legislation they'd have been on stronger ground… but they just didn't want the scrutiny.” – Minnie Rahman “Tories are seeing majorities like Tiverton disappearing and wondering if Johnson really is an election winner after all…” - Jack Blanchard Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Minnie Rahman and Ian Dunt.

India Policy Watch #1: Hindi Hain Hum...Insights on burning policy issues in India- RSJThere’s that oft-quoted line of sociolinguist Max Weinreich that goes ‘a language is a dialect with an army and navy’. Like many facetious remarks, it isn’t scientific, but it sounds great. Also, there’s a kernel of truth in it. The only reason a particular dialect races ahead of others and transcends a threshold to turn into a language is when it is backed by political patronage and the power of the state. Examples abound.The version of Hindi that’s official in India today, for instance, wasn’t the kind that was spoken by anyone even two hundred years ago. Many in India find this hard to believe. But it isn’t too difficult to prove. Read any text or literature that was popular in north India before the 19th century, and you will find the language bears no similarity to the official Hindi of today. The great texts of 16th century India will help you with this. Ramacharitmanas by Tulsidas was written in Awadhi, Surdas used Brij bhasha and Guru Granth Sahib is an eclectic mix of languages ranging from Sindhi, Lahnda, Persian and Brij bhasha. The first works that bear a strong resemblance to the Hindi of today appeared in 1870-80s when Bharatendu sought to popularise a combination of Awadhi and Brij with a generous sprinkling of tatsam words from Sanskrit while stripping away the Urdu words. This project gained political support in the late 19th century when there was Hindu revivalism in the air. The decimation of the Mughal empire was complete and with it went the state patronage of Farsi and Urdu. There was desire then to find a purified version of the Hindustani language that preceded the Delhi Sultanate. Bharatendu filled this gap and his efforts were ably supported by the Raja of Benaras and the Kashi Dharma Sabha. Post-independence, this version of Hindi got its ‘army and navy’ with the might of the state behind it. And it turned into a language.Quite appropriately, it was called the ‘rajbhasha’; the language of administration or the language of power. What’s the point of this bit of historicising? Well, here’s the press release from the 37th meeting of the Parliamentary Official Language Committee held last week that was presided over by the Union Home Minister (HM):“Hindi should be accepted as an alternative to English and not to local languages.Time has come to make the Official Language an important part of the unity of the country, when persons from States which speak other languages communicate with each other, it should be in the language of India.”The usual furore followed. This isn’t the first time the HM has made this sort of an appeal. Every year on the occasion of Hindi Diwas there’s a similar pitch about Hindi. The usual benefits are stated. That we need a ‘link’ language for India and Hindi is best suited for it. Not English. That’s a foreign tongue and the language of our colonial humiliation. We will be somehow more united if we all speak in Hindi. It will foster a feeling of togetherness among Indians. Or that’s what I have understood as the benefits of this push. I’m sceptical of the unity argument because it makes limited sense. There are better ways of fostering unity than asking people to privilege a specific language in a country that has as many languages with long histories as India. In fact, it will likely lead to more divisions and strife. On the other hand, the ‘link’ language argument has some merit. What common language should people use to converse with each other when they are native speakers of languages as diverse as Punjabi, Bangla and Tamizh? It is a good question. But there’s no need to find a planned answer to this question. This is a question that was possibly as relevant during the times of Ashoka, Chandragupta, Akbar and Lord Canning, as it is today. The courts of those times used Pali, Persian or English as the official language of the state. But that didn’t mean these became the languages of the masses. People developed their own dialects and languages that worked for them to communicate with one another. A language can have its army and navy but those won’t make it the ‘link’ language. Because the adoption of a language and its usage in a society is the best example of spontaneous order at play. Spontaneous orders aren’t planned by anyone. There is no intentional coordination of actions by any external agent. Every participant acts in their individual best interest for their own objectives. However, these individual actions aggregate into a pattern of their own. It is the ‘unintended order of intentional action’ that emerges on its own and it adapts to the ongoing changes. Language is a classic example of this. No one individual could have designed it. There’s no central design of associating a sound with an object or an emotion. It evolves by the attempt of separate individuals trying to solve the problem of communicating with one another. The sounds that are easy to use and adopted by most individuals evolve into the lingua franca of the community. Language is ‘the result of human action, but not of human design’. As the language becomes more widely adopted, there are attempts to formalise its structure and syntax. As these structures become more rigid and people are forced to use a language in only a certain way, it begins losing its flexibility and its utility. People find a more flexible mode of communication and a new order emerges. A new language of the people is born. This is how Latin, Sanskrit, and Persian continued to be the languages of the church, court or the temples but the continuing rigidity of their grammar and their top-down imposition on people led to their decline. Spontaneous order killed them off. If the people feel the need for a link language, they will find one through the millions of everyday transactions that they undertake. In India, this could be Hindi, English or some motley mix of tongues that will work for people. That’s the direction we will head into as we find more reasons for domestic mobility and interactions. Any attempt to centrally plan for greater usage of an official language is therefore futile. It takes away time and attention of the state to focus on more real issues. And it leads to divisive politics over the imposition of Hindi over regional languages. World history is rife with examples of civil unrest and strife because of such impositions. These are unnecessary distractions that we can live without.Or maybe that’s the point of all this.India Policy Watch #2: …Watan Hai Hindustan Hamara Insights on burning policy issues in India- RSJI wrote a couple of weeks back about ‘Nehru: The Debates that Defined India’ by Adeel Hussain and Tripurdaman Singh. The book examines the key debates Nehru had with four of his peers, namely, Iqbal, Jinnah, Patel and S.P. Mookerjee, on questions of religion, foreign policy and civil liberties. The authors set up the historical context for each debate and why it was critical at that juncture and then reproduce the letters, columns, or speeches of the protagonists.I have picked up the debate between Nehru and Iqbal this week. Iqbal and Nehru were temperamentally similar with both having studied at Cambridge and trained as barristers. They were steeped in enlightenment philosophy, had a taste for western literature and were socialists by instinct. Where they differed sharply was in their confidence in the transplanting of such values into Indian soil. They came at the idea of nationalism in a subcontinent as diverse as India with widely divergent first principles.Nehru believed in a kind of inclusive nationalism where people would voluntarily shed those parts of their identity that separated them from others while retaining the core somehow. This was a difficult notion to explain, let alone implement. For Nehru, the state was to be secular with joint electorates, a reformed social code for Hindus and Muslims while simultaneously letting people practise their religions without any other interferences. Iqbal thought this was an impossible task. This utopian ideal of fusing the different communities into a single nation was fraught with disappointing everyone equally. The state would tread into areas of citizens’ lives that it had no business to be in. Democracy where numbers matter would make this risky for the minorities. There was a need to think of nationalism while protecting the identities of communities and giving them their space to breathe. Trying to hoist a unitary, majoritarian version of democracy without thinking about proportional or specific representation would lead to a situation where ‘the country will have to be redistributed on the basis of religious, historical and cultural affinities.’ Iqbal thought Nehru wasn’t thinking of the long term where those holding the power of the state would be different from them.Needless to say, this idea itself was abhorrent to Nehru. He wrote a long response to Iqbal from the Almora district jail where he has housed in 1935. Titled ‘Orthodox of All Religions, Unite’, it gives us a window into Nehru’s thoughts on the consequences of the nationalism advocated by Iqbal. Reading it 87 years later is clarifying. It is a debate between an idealist who wants to ‘will’ a perfect society. Against whom is pitted a realist who knows this is futile and the best course is to set up a system that’s in sync with how the society works. This would then be supplemented by a code or set of guidelines that would provide the incentives for right behaviours by those in power than force a philosophy down their throats.I have quoted parts of Nehru’s response below. It is a fascinating blend of idealism and naïveté which characterised the man:“Other far-reaching consequences would follow the adoption and application of the joint views of Sir Mohamad Iqbal and the sanatanist Hindus. The ideals aimed at will largely be (subject to some inevitable adjustment with modern conditions) the reproduction of the social conditions prevailing in Arabia in the seventh century (in the case of the Muslims) or those of India two thousand or more years ago (in the case of Hindus). With all the goodwill in the world, a complete return to the golden ages of the past will not be possible, but at any rate all avoidable deviations will be prevented, and an attempt will be made to stereotype our social and economic structure and make it incapable of change. So-called reform movements will, of course, be frowned upon or suppressed. The long tentacles of the law of sedition may grow longer still and new crimes may be created. Thus to advocate the abolition of the purdah (veil) by women might (from the Muslim side) be made into an offence, to preach the loosening of caste restrictions or inter-dining might (from the sanatanist side) be also made criminal. Beards may become de rigueur for Muslims, caste-marks and top knots for Hindus. And, of course, all the orthodox of all shapes and hues would join in the worship and service of Property, especially the extensive and wealthy properties and endowments belonging to religious or semi-religious bodies.Perhaps all this is a somewhat exaggerated picture of what might happen under the joint regime of the sanatanists and the ulemas, but it is by no means a fanciful picture as anyone who has followed their recent activities can demonstrate. Only two months ago (in June 1935) a Sanatan Dharma Conference was held in Bezwada [Vijayawada]. The holy and learned Swami who opened the Conference told us that ‘co-education, divorce and post-puberty marriages would mean the annihilation of Hinduism’. I had not realized till then that these three or rather the absence of them, were the main props of Hinduism – this is rather involved but I suppose my meaning is clear.It is an astonishing thing to me that while our millions starve and live like beasts of the field, we ignore their lot and talk of vague metaphysical ideas and the good of their souls; that we shirk the problems of today in futile debate about yesterday and the day before yesterday; that when thoughtful men and women all over the world are considering problems of human welfare and how to lessen human misery and stupidity, we, who need betterment and raising most, should think complacently of what our ancestors did thousands of years ago and for ourselves should continue to grovel on the ground. It astonishes me that a poet like Sir Mohamad Iqbal should be insensitive to the suffering that surrounds him, that a scholar and thinker like Sir Mohamad should put forward fantastic schemes of states within states, and advocate a social structure which may have suited a past age but is a hopeless anachronism today. Does his reading of history not tell him that nations fell because they could not adapt themselves to changing conditions and because they stuck too long to that very structure which he wants to introduce in a measure in India today? We were not wise enough in India and the other countries of the East in the past, and we have suffered for our folly. Are we to be so singularly foolish as not even to profit by our and others’ experience?Bertrand Russell says somewhere: ‘If existing knowledge were used and tested methods applied, we could in a generation produce a population almost wholly free from disease, malevolence and stupidity. In one generation, if we chose, we could bring in the millennium. It is the supreme tragedy of our lives that this millennium should be within our reach, so tantalizingly near us and yet so far as almost to seem unattainable. I do not know what the future has in store for India and her unhappy people, what further agonies, what greater humiliation and torture of the soul. But I am confident of this that whatever happens, we cannot go back inside the shell out of which we have emerged.”  Advertisement: If you enjoy the themes we discuss in this newsletter, consider taking up Takshashila’s Graduate Certificate in Public Policy course.

We see in India that political tribes—and parties—get created along many different identitarian dimensions. The proliferation of political parties backed by a small and reliable electoral base is quite common in India. And yet, we don’t see political parties created on the basis of gender. Most probably, there are structural reasons why this hasn’t happened yet in a society prejudiced against women. However, India is not an exception in this case. Women’s political parties have been electorally insignificant even in Western Europe and Scandinavia. What gives? In this article, I am sharing a few notes from my ongoing search.The Quillette asked this question in the UK context. Louise Perry's article has interesting insights. For instance, she writes that political tribes form when there is little interaction across tribes, which is not possible with gender as an identity variable. In her words,Most political tribes live in close proximity to one another. We tend to live in neighbourhoods in which most people share our race, class, and regional identities, and therefore vote in the same way. One thing to emerge from the aftermath of the Brexit referendum is that many voters knew very few people—if any—who had voted differently from themselves. The Remainer and Leaver bubbles have significant influence and it’s easy to feel animosity towards other political tribes when they are imagined as faceless strangers.None of this is true for women. The dream of a minority of Second Wave feminists that women would leave their husbands en masse and establish female-only communities never came to pass. Women are not an isolated group—they not only live among men, but also often love them as spouses, sons, fathers, and brothers. And that’s as it should be. But one effect of this is that true female solidarity is vanishingly rare. When asked to choose between identifying with other women, or identifying with “their” men, most women will choose the latter option. This means that women’s political parties will always struggle to gain a significant share of the vote.Of course, Perry also highlights that feminist parties are not the only way to reduce gender discrimination.We have witnessed within the last century the most remarkable progress in women’s political representation in the West. Decriminalized abortion, funding for rape crisis centres, reforms to the criminal justice system, anti-discrimination legislation, and many more landmark achievements—all this has taken place within a democratic system and without the existence of women’s political parties.Further, Perry cites more studies to highlight that gender does not impact voting behaviour by much.When it comes to electoral politics, however, women are not an identity bloc and they never have been. Gender has a small impact on voting behaviour, in that women tend to lean left and are also less politically engaged on average. But, on the whole, knowing a person’s sex gives you very little insight into how they are likely to vote. Although the gender gap is enough to influence an election result, sex has much less of an impact than other demographic factors. Simplistic references to “the women’s vote” overlook this fact.In another article, Corwell-Meyers et al make an important distinction: not all women’s political parties are feminist parties.In fact, surveying the platforms and manifestos of women’s parties reveals three types of parties: depending on the degree of transformation the party seeks, women’s parties can be feminist (challenging patriarchy), proactive (advancing women’s inclusion) or reactive (espousing conservative or traditional roles for women).The authors conclude with a more considerate view of women's political parties and argue that there are some second-order benefits of such organisations, such as:They tend to emerge in places where women perceive that the mainstream political parties neglect women or their issues, usually by not running female candidates or addressing women’s concerns. Because they typically emerge alongside or out of the grassroots politics of the women’s movement, they tend to do politics differently. As outsider organisations operating inside the system, they can recruit women to political activism, disrupt the perception that politics is a male-domain and connect women’s movement organisations to formal politics. And, even those that lack a large following have, in some cases, pressured the larger, more mainstream parties to run more female candidates or pay greater attention to women’s interests in their platforms and policies; because women’s parties have resources that civil society actors lack, they can impact both the descriptive and substantive representation of women and women’s interests. And, as both established and emerging democracies currently face reactionary pressure from populist and far right actors, women’s parties can challenge anti-woman and anti-minority group narratives.That’s all I’ve managed to gather on this topic thus far.

We live in strange times. In the English speaking West, we are supposedly experiencing a resurgence of a frighteningly populist Right, with figures like Trump and events like Brexit signalling a return to the infamous catastrophes of 20th century fascism. This is a time when many people of all political stripes are drawn to the Left, simply because they see it as a necessary rebuke to a more dangerous far right alternative. At the same time, many on the Left are expressing an increased dissatisfaction with our side of the political spectrum. This has led to a good deal of defecting, with many figures who would self-identify as left-wing, now being associated with, or sometimes joining sides with, the Left's traditional opponents (Conservatives and Libertarians). The result is paradoxical. Figures associated with the right-wing side of today's culture wars are often people who, even ten years ago, wouldn't be seen as particularly right-wing. Podcaster Sam Harris was a fierce opponent of George W Bush's foreign policy; the comedy creation ‘Jonathan Pie' is both a Socialist and Remainer, while writer Tim Pool mostly holds views that wouldn't be out of place in the Democrat Party of 2008. Even the infamous Helen Pluckrose encouraged her fans to vote left as recently as the 2018 US mid-term elections. Yet these people have careers where, regardless of how they define themselves, they are mostly associated with a backlash against the Left. This state of affairs exists because many of the biggest critics of the 21st century Left are people that would have easily fitted into the 20th century Left. The lesson here is obvious, but difficult for many to see: the 21st century mainstream Left is in many ways, more like the radical 20th century Left. The mainstream Left of the previous century has largely been excommunicated from today's idea of what left is. This is why so many figures who would have fitted comfortably in the 20th century Left are now only given platforms in circles associated with the Right. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/salisburyobserver/message

After leading a series of successful challenges to the Brexit process, Jolyon Maugham QC was thrust into the limelight and depicted by right-wing Brexiteers as an out of touch, elitist, Remainer. But for the first 17 years of his life, Jolyon was unaware of the existence of his biological Eton-educated father and was brought up on ‘nuisance payments' of £5 a week. He is now the Director of the Good Law Project, a not-for-profit campaign organisation that uses the law to protect the interests of the public - regardless of the way they voted in the 2016 referendum.

Lord Adonis is a passionate Remainer and centrist, and there's a lot of things we disagree on, to say the least - so we talk over why Keir Starmer's leadership is failing, whether everyone should have settled on a soft Brexit deal, the popularity of left-wing ideas, and how the country can escape the current catastrophe.Please like, subscribe - and help us take on the right wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Rachel Johnson, the sister of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, campaigned against Brexit, while her brother hung his political hat on the phrase "Get Brexit Done." She joins us to talk about political and personal crises, the family dynamics of being a staunch Remainer, and her new book, Rake's Progress: The Madcap True Tale of My Political Midlife Crisis.

Is Britain really the hopelessly split society that we fear? The good news is that as the Brexit rubble settles, our common ground is growing, and Britain is more up for serious political change than almost any other Western democracy. Tim Dixon, co-founder of pro-consensus pressure group More In Common and former advisor to Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard in Australia, talks to Ros Taylor about the weird online and offline dynamics that over-represent vocal extremes, and why Brexity nationalists agree with progressives more than you think. “We've lived off the capital of past generations in terms of the glue that holds society together. Now we need to reinvest in it.”“People's identities as Remainer or Leaver is still a lot stronger than their identification with a political party.”“We tend to forget that most people don't see the world through a political lens.”“If politics can come back into people's lives, and be useful again, then it can be really transformative.”Presented by Ros Taylor.

https://youtu.be/fvkxSGKstP4 Mike Lander, CEO of Piscari Limited and Chairman of Re:Signal, a consultancy agency that drives organic growth for ambitious brands, in the UK.   --- Pursue Passion, Conserve Cash with Mike Lander Our guest is Mike Lander, who is the CEO of Piscari Limited in London, UK, which helps clients negotiate better procurement contracts with big companies. He's also the chairman of Re:Signal, a consultancy that drives organic growth for ambitious brands. Mike also advises professional staffing companies on organic growth, and he graduated with a degree in marketing, and then he also got his MBA in finance and strategy for Cranford University. So, welcome, Mike. It's great to have you. It's great to see you. Thank you for inviting me. It's great to have you. You're our first European, although I don't know if you think of yourself as European anymore. I definitely do. I always will. You're a Remainer then, probably. I'm definitely a Remainer. Definitely a Remainer. So, Mike, so tell me a little bit, I mean, you are in interesting businesses, involved in several consulting firms, are really growth focused. Tell us a little bit about your entrepreneurial journey. How did you end up here? Sure. If you go right back to when I was kind of like 16, so a young boy, very, very shy, didn't think I'd do much, lacked self-confidence, let's say. And at 16, I always thought, kind of knew I wanted to run my own business. I don't know why, but I always thought I'd like to run my own business one day. And as you go through the kind of the journey, I started working for big companies. So I ended up working for some very big companies, people like Barclays Bank and KPMG, so really big firms. And that was until the age of about 30, somewhere around there, probably, maybe 36. And as I went on that journey of working with big companies, you learn really good skills about how do you operate inside big companies, governance, process, systems, discipline, hierarchy. And although they sound awful and bureaucratic, they're great skills to learn. And then I went freelancing. So interesting, I guess, snippet for your listeners is, you know, I went independent in about, well, 2002, I guess, 2000, 2002. And I thought I was building a business and I wasn't. I was being a freelancer. People wanted Mike Lander. They wanted to use me as a, at that time, a kind of project manager. I was a very good project manager. And that's what they wanted. When I learned that, it made me really think about, don't fool yourself that you're building a company if you're just a freelancer. Being a freelancer is absolutely fine. It's a great life. But don't think you're building a company. And so in 2006, I'd been working with a company as a freelancer. They were the consulting company. I was their freelancer. And they were looking to sell the company. And I over lunched one day to the guy that owned it. I said, I'll buy it off you. And he kind of choked on his food and said, but you've got no money or not enough to buy it. And I said, well, if I can find the money, we'd use some of the company if we get to the right deal. And talking to his business partner, they in the end, they agreed. And it was the first time that I'd really moved from being an independent freelancer into owning a company. And I bought that company. I raised several million pounds from banks in the UK back in 2006, 2007, and I bought that company. I ended up running, we had about 120 consultants at one point. We ran a £50 million government contract. We'd upsold £10-15 million of the contract value. By anyone's standards, it was quite a big consultancy. And I was, at that point, virtually the 100% shareholder and the chief exec. So I kind of went from being a freelancer to being an entrepreneur at some scale. A lot skills so that's definitely a fascinating story. And you know, we have some things in common. So I started my career with KPMG actually in London. Ah, I was at KPMG.

This week we have a good look at the exit of Donald Trump and the arrival of everyone's favourite uncle (apparently) Joe Biden. Is he the Messiah, or a very naughty boy who likes to sniff hair?

In this one-off special episode, I discuss brexit with two Brits that live in Spain. One voted leave and the other voted remain. Here is why. Richard Thompson lives in Sant Joan in Mallorca. He is a business owner and local town councillor with Assemblea per Sant Joan. We talk about voting remain and the stereotypes of Brits in Spain. Timothy Appleton has lived in Madrid for 15 years. He is a lecturer in the Camilo José Cela University, editor of the magazine #lacanemancipa and author of the book “Escupir en la iglesia: un sí de izquierdas al Brexit”, (“Spitting in church: a left-wing yes to Brexit”) Here we talk about his book and why he would still vote leave. Happy New Year!!

An extended version of our interview with high-profile Remainer turned constitution campaigner GINA MILLER. She explains how she’s staying in the constitutional fight, why she thinks “Remain and Rejoin” are done for now, why she’s encouraged by how backbenchers have handled HS2 and Huawei, and why the hardest part of Brexit is yet to come. “Some of the government’s language would not be out of place in Orbán’s government,” she says. “Both of the cases we brought were about the fundamentals of democracy. The parliamentary slogans you heard during the referendum were exactly what we were defending.”Interview by Sam Macrory. Audio production by Alex Rees.

The Culture Secretary on why she went from Remainer rebel to Boris loyalist, her decision to quit frontline politics and the uncertain future of the BBC

My name is Nigel Halftree-Sykes. I had a TomTom issue and I woke up in Brexit Britain. Am I mad, or in a coma or back in time? Whatevers happened it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can work out the satnav I can get home to my rustic villa in San Marino. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiofreeredcar/message

Brexit Party MEP and Director of the Academy of Ideas Claire Fox discusses how the Remainer elite have delegitimised the Brexit vote. Ever since the British people voted to leave the European Union in 2016, Remainers have actively tried to thwart the will of the people. They constantly spin a narrative, that Brexit voters were stupid and gullible to know what they voted for. If this process has shown one thing, it is how thin democracy is, and how easily same and willing to throw it away when they don't win.

Giles chats to environmental activist and "professional troublemaker" George Monbiot about the horrors of boarding school, why he's a eurosceptic Remainer and how he escaped a near-death experience in Indonesia.

The Brexit crisis has come to a head with Prime Minister Johnson's confrontational tactics, which have served to unite the Remainer majority in Parliament. It is now intent on stopping a No Deal Brexit. Johnson has turned on his own MPs who dare to dissent, expelling recent former ministers and Tory grandees. A general election is now inevitable, but Labour would find one fought soly on Brexit difficult as it has shifted further in the direction of Remain, but still needs the support of Leave voters. It will need once again to focus on policies beyond Brexit, unifying people round an anti-austerity platform and its positive vision for Britain.

Mike Graham talks to Conservative Home's Henry Hill and Labour MP Nic Dakin about who could be the Remainer's PM of 'National Unity'.

Tune in to discover Linda’s top tips to becoming a successful entreprneur.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Linda is mainly a property developer of high-end residential units and with a background in the fashion industry, she moved into interior design fitting her own property investment portfolio.   The property business is a struggle at the moment due to the uncertainty around Brexit and with the high-end property, Linda deals with that’s often sold to foreign investors the industry is at a low. However, with the strength of the currency at the moment, investment should be high. After October 31st we’ll get some certainty in the market. But whether you’re a Brexiter or a Remainer the general conscientious is we just want certainty.   When Linda started in business, women were not working and was out there alone feeling guilty because she wasn’t at home.

However, women out there in business today do not need to feel guilty.   The biggest compliment Linda received had been: “Linda you are like man”   It’s harder to become an entrepreneur with the revelation of the internet.

When the going gets tough don’t give up and you will gain respect and achieve your ambitions.”  

If you're a remainer, how can you stop a no-deal brexit?

GBP Latest: Strong Wage & Employment Data Provides Support, but Expect Any Strength to be Limited The latest UK labour market data has beaten expectations, and should provide Sterling with some short-term support but we remain of the view any strength in the currency should ultimately remain limited in nature. According to the ONS, Average Earnings - excluding bonuses - read at 3.9% in June, ahead of economist forecasts for a reading of 3.8% and the previous month's reading of 3.6%. This is an 11-year high. The Average Earnings Index - with bonuses included - for June read at 3.7%, in line with economist forecasts but above the previous month's 3.5% which was itself revised higher. And, the better-than-expected numbers extended to the employment statistics where it was shown the UK workforce grew 115K on a the three-month-on-three-month basis in June, markets had only expected growth of 65K. "While much of that was part-time employment, it is encouraging that firms have retained their workers, suggesting they expect activity to pick up again following the Brexit hangover in Q2," says Andrew Wishart, UK Economist with Capital Economics. The UK unemployment rate nudged up unexpectedly to 3.9% in (the three months) to June. Consensushad been for a steady rate of 3.8% for the fourth consecutive month. When it comes to currency markets, deviation from expectations move a currency, and the best on expectations should therefore be supportive of Sterling. We are seeing some gains in the Pound following the release, with the Pound-to-Euro exchange rate trading at 1.0785, the day's low is at 1.0756. The Pound-to-Dollar exchange rate trading at 1.2067, the day's low is at 1.2042. The Pound Advances on Reports 'Remainer' MPs Have Options to Block 'No Deal' Brexit - GBP/EUR @ 1.0786 +0.56% | GBP/USD @ 1.2098 +0.64% - MPs said to be working on credible route to preventing 'no deal' Brexit - Sterling seen higher in Monday trade - But gains tipped to be short lived - However, IfG says ability of Parliament to block 'no deal' effectively not possible Pound Sterling went higher on Monday in a move that coincides with fresh reports that there are in fact still credible routes that can be explored by MPs wishing to prevent a 'no deal' Brexit. Sterling has been under pressure over recent days and weeks as it became increasingly clear that Prime Minister Boris Johnson could deliver a 'no deal' Brexit if he truly desired such an outcome, and all indications thus far in his young premiership suggest he is intent on doing so. From a currency perspective, it is therefore likely that any suggestions that MPs do in fact still have options to thwart the Prime Minister's intentions would potentially prove supportive to Sterling. "There were some developments on that over the weekend which could suggest some upside risk for the Pound," says Fritz Louw, a Currency Analyst with MUFG. Louw references a report in the Times that says "MPs are drawing up plans to compel Boris Johnson to break his “do or die” pledge and force him to request an 11th-hour Brexit extension from the European Union." According to the report, MPs would look to bring down the Government in a no-confidence vote. However, instead of forming a new administration in the 14 days stipulated by the Fixed Parliament Act, MPs will try introduce new legislation. This legislation will state that the Government must ask for a Brexit extension before calling a mandatory General Election. After all, if no alternative government is formed within 14 days, a General Election must be held. This document has reportedly been discussed with Labour leadership and it has also been signed off by Dominic Grieve and circulated among 300 MPs who support a second referendum. “It would be counterproductive to spell out the precise mechanism(s) through which this might be achieved, but we must be clear about the principle — a general election must not be used as a dev...

Fed up with the polarised debate about Britain and the EU?Listen to Douglas Carswell and Charles Grant - one a co-founder of the Leave campaign, the other a committed EU integrationist - discuss how best Europe might be organised.  What might be the optimal relationship between the UK and the EU?  Two of those that have been heavily involved in the EU debate over the years find common ground and understanding.  

How could the Remainer establishment blunt Boris Johnson’s threat of proroguing parliament to force through Brexit? Maybe, just maybe, there is a way of playing politics that blunts Boris’s endgame ambitions for no-deal. In short, what if Theresa May prorogued parliament now, before Boris gets a chance to? —— Please visit our website to download...

Audio from a seminar hosted by Premier at the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast 2019 in the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday 2nd July. The online space can seem a polarised and angry place. Does social media cause these divisions or merely bring them into focus? Does the volume of the ‘digital mob’ distort our perception of reality? Can the schism between Brexiteer and Remainer, Believer and Atheist etc. be overcome? These questions and more are explored, considering whether Christian belief can and should influence our ability to bring peace and reconciliation in the digital world. Led by Dr Jonas Kurlberg from Durham University.

Surprise special edition incoming… It’s Euro elections week and lots of us STILL don’t know who to vote for. On Friday 17 May we brought together people from the key national parties who are hunting the Remainer vote to make their pitch in semi-hustings format. London MEP candidates DINESH DHAMIJA (Lib Dems), LAURA PARKER (Labour) and JAN ROSTOWSKI (Change UK) plus AMELIA WOMACK (Deputy Leader of the Greens for England and Wales) joined Dorian Lynskey for an hour of free-range podcanvassing in our London studio.On the agenda: Who should you vote for and why? What’s behind Labour’s strategic indeterminacy? What would the candidates prioritise if and when they got to Brussels? If we remain, what are they going to reform? And which candidates can out-European the others?A note on the guests: It’s a small London-based studio so we had to make the decision to invite only parties that are standing nationally, which means we couldn’t cover the SNP or Plaid Cymru. We’ll be addressing Scotland, Ireland and Wales in our final pre-vote show on Wednesday. But let’s face it, none of you want to hear from the Conservatives or the Brexit Party anyway, do you?Presented by Dorian Lynskey. Produced by Andrew Harrison.

Who can I vote for in the EU elections? Mike Indian breaks down who is standing in the UK's European Parliament election on 23 May and how you should vote if you're a Leaver, a Remainer or just not sure.

Brexit and PoliticiansI am a Remainer. My main reason for not wanting Brexit is that I don't trust our politicians. I don't trust any politicians, not only British ones, but it seems to me that we have more chance of justice, if we have a couple of layers of them. Yes, that is more expensive, but at least we ordinary folk might get a fairer crack of the whip.Just look at the things our British politicians have been caught doing over the last decade, and they have been getting away with it forever! I should imagine that the continental politicians are corrupt too - I can't see why they shouldn't be, but then the whole shebang should be reformed. Calling Brexit and retreating into our caves won't help.Anyway, another reason for being anti-Brexit crossed my mind the other day. I have always popped over to the Continent for a few days on the spur of the moment every now and then, time and money permitting. This will no longer be possible, will it, if we will require visas to go over there?I used to fly to Cork - thirty minutes away, but that might not be possible either, because they will be EU and we will be... what? British? Just British... stuck on our own little island with almost all our boats and bridges burned, unless we plan our once-a-year fortnight's holiday abroad.How pathetic, how limiting, is that? Everyone else in Europe can just get on a plane or a ferry, and Brits have to queue for a visa!No wonder rich people are buying EU citizenship in Malta so they don't get left behind the rest of the world like we will be!Brexit is a step back into the Dark Ages... voted for in haste and fuelled by liars who only want more power as British politicians - but you can bet your life that they will still have the right to spur-of-the-moment travel - it's always the bloody same:One rule for them and another for the rest of us!Vote for a second referendum! How can it be undemocratic to ask a more informed people what they want? It is the only way that we will move forward.Use #FBPE (Follow Back, Pro EU) in your social media messages to show you support remain or a second referendum!Please LIKE and SHARE this article using the buttons below and visit our bookshopAll the best,OwenPodcast: Brexit and Politicianshttp://smarturl.it/Brexit-mps?IQid=spreaker

For the final time this season, Jurgen Klopp was at Melwood this morning to preview a Premier League match. But this is no ordinary match. Should Liverpool beat Wolves at Anfield on Sunday, and City drop points at Brighton, they would be crowned Premier League champions, which would top off an already incredible week. It is a week, of course, that started with the unbelievable Champions League semi-final second-leg win over Barcelona, which is referenced throughout this must-listen press conference; the main news line from which is the fitness of Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. Henderson and Robertson picked up injuries in the 4-0 victory over Barca but with Klopp revealing the mantra around the training ground as being ‘it’s only pain’, you’d expect them to be fit to face Wolves. The Reds boss has plenty praise for the Molineux men, and for Brighton, too, but he’s less impressed by the scheduling of the Nations League Finals. Klopp also has his say on the rush for Champions League final tickets and the high cost of travel to Madrid as well as giving short shrift to UEFA’s decision to stage the Europa League showpiece, which will be contested by two more Premier League clubs, in Baku. Speaking of which, Klopp is asked for his opinion on the domination of English outfits in Europe this season, which allows the Remainer to drop a Brexit joke. He’s also quizzed on the future of Alberto Moreno and Daniel Sturridge and the performance of Tottenham, who produced a miracle of their own to beat Ajax and set-up that Champions League final showdown with Liverpool.

Social media, especially Twitter has changed the way we consume the news. Articles, commentaries and opinions are put into our news feeds by the people we choose to follow. We tend to only follow the people we agree with and like, and block and unfollow the people we disagree with. We're creating our own echo chambers and social media bubbles. These bubbles are making us more polarised than ever, and we’re less likely to listen to views that are different from ours. Are we missing out on hearing the other side, because we're not hearing why they think the way they do? In this programme, for two weeks, two people with opposite views swap Twitter news feeds. One Labour voting Remainer, and one Conservative Leaver. They’ll keep audio diaries using their smartphones documenting what they’re consuming. Are they angry at what their opposite is consuming? Will it change their viewpoint on politics and world events? At the end of the experiment they’ll meet each other for the first time to discuss what they learned. Will they confront each other, or will they be ashamed of themselves? Will they be disappointed by how the opposite side thinks or will they learn from each other?

For all the history of her as an ideologue, he remembers an intensely pragmatic Prime Minister.

This week, as last, there's one big story: Brexit and the Conservative Party. Theresa May just about managed to see off Remainer rebellion in the Commons. But is it a hollow victory? Tom Clark asks whether after 300 years, Brexit could be the row that finally sinks the Tories. 

It's not just in Britain that the traditionally dominant centre-right is on its knees; Andrew Gamble argues in our new issue that it's a much broader trend and explains why here. Hephzibah Anderson discusses the fall of another great institution: the British high street. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There will be at least one resignation in the Cabinet when we see the terms of the Brexit deal in the Autumn, and it could be as many as four or five, a peer and former Labour minister says today. Lord Adonis, a keen Remainer, forecasts a “crisis” in Parliament when MPs are presented with the Brexit treaty. He tells today’s Chopper’s Brexit Podcast talk of at least one resignation is the “common gossip in Westminster”. Lord Adonis says: “I think it’s very unlikely to be someone from the right - the Prime Minister is giving in to them and giving them everything they want. It’s much more likely to be one of the pragmatic, sensible people who people who believe in British trade and don’t want to trash the country”. The Labour peer is joined on the podcast by Conservative MP and Brexiteer Michael Tomlinson who dismissed the prediction as “wishful thinking”. Lord Adonis believes the solution is to hold a second vote on the terms of the deal: “The issues involved are so great - they’re the most important issues since I’ve been involved in public life - the right thing in the Autumn would be for Parliament to refer the Treaty, when we see it, to the people for a people’s vote.” Also on Chopper’s Brexit Podcast, available from 6am on Friday morning, Stanley Johnson, father of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and a one-time Remainer who says he became a Brexiteer for the sake of democracy. But Mr Johnson doesn’t rule out a return to his former side: “Of course I’ve been loyal to Brexit, but if it appears to be the case that we’re not going to put in place the whole raft of EU measures which we have and we’re not going to achieve this enforcement mechanism which I think is vital, I wouldn’t say I might not change my mind.” Other guests include the Telegraph’s Political Editor, Gordon Rayner; Brexit Editor, Dia Chakravarty; and Europe Editor, Peter Foster, and Chris Waterman who sings a familiar tune with a Brexit twist.

If you want to see rage ruining everything, go and listen to some of the dads on the touchline at a kids’ football match. On the new episode of ANGER MANAGEMENT WITH NICK CLEGG, the former Deputy Prime Minister talks to footballing legend and Match Of The Day presenter GARY LINEKER about anger on the football pitch and in the public eye, Gary’s personal politics… and what it’s like to be monstered for speaking your mind on social media.Where did Gary’s political interests come from? What drives people to be so vitriolic towards strangers on the Internet? Is football really getting calmer while the society around it gets angrier? As a dedicated Remainer, does he think there’s a way to heal the Brexit breach? And who would he like to be stuck in a lift with?“I’m lucky in that I don’t get angry. But unfortunately the really negative, abusive remark is the one that sticks in your head.” “The press have the right to their opinions, of course they do. But they don’t have the right to demand that you lose your job for yours.” “I’ve got a huge platform, seven million people. It’s bonkers. And some of those people really won’t like you. That’s OK – but what I don’t understand is the vitriol.” “One of my pet hates in life is parental touchline behaviour… My dad walked onto the pitch once, when I was about 14. Not to have a go at the referee but to give ME a bollocking because I’D had a go at the referee…” Anger Management with Nick Clegg is created by Podmasters, producers of the hit Brexit podcast Remainiacs.

The immense political, constitutional and legal challenge posed by Brexit becomes clearer by the day. With talks now stepping up a gear and turning to the future relationship, Prospect Editor Tom Clark and Deputy Digital Editor Alex Dean sat down with representatives from either side of the debate. Gisela Stuart, the Labour politician who chaired Vote Leave, clashed with Ian Dunt, Remainer and editor of politics.co.uk. Prospect's Executive Editor Jay Elwes spoke to polling extraordinaire John Curtice. Where does public opinion now stand on this defining issue of our times?

Are we being overwhelmed and overrun by taxes? Between the new top tax bracket, the Affordable Care Act "ObamaCare" tax plan, state income taxes, and taxes for the sale of a fully depreciated asset; such as farm machinery, your taxes could exceed 50%?

Brexit is not just the subject that sparked a million news stories but also ample fodder for creatives who delight in dissecting and commenting on political matters in their work. One such wordsmith is James Graham who is responsible for some of the most successful political plays in recent years including This House about Labour’s struggles in the 70's as well as Privacy, a Broadway play about the surveillance state featuring Daniel Radcliffe. Now, he has taken on the task of writing the screenplay for a TV drama about the Brexit campaign and referendum day. Jen chatted to him about why Brexit makes such a great topic and about how he will try to be objective in his writing despite being a passionate Remainer. He also shares his view of how theatre can build bridges in our incredibly polarised society. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #conservative #tory #labour #playwright #play #theatre #tv #drama #jamesgraham #privacy #thishouse 

A Remainer and a Leaver explain how they overcame their differences to make sure the interests of young people will be represented in the Brexit negotiations. Only 43% of 18-24 year olds voted in the 2015 general election. In June’s EU Referendum, that was up to 64%. Young people are becoming more engaged with politics and in this episode Tim and Jen caught up with two leading the charge, Charlotte Gerade and Joe Porter. The pair are two of the co-leaders of lobby group Undivided, which is collating the biggest concerns from 1,000,000 13-30 year olds across the country to come up with a 10-point manifesto to take to parliament. #Podcast #Brexit #BrexitPodcast #Referendum #EUReferendum #VoteLeave #VoteRemain #VoteIn #EU #UK #TimHeming #JenniferHahn #News #Politics #CharlotteGerade #JoePorter #Undivided #campaign #activist #young people #youth #teenagers #negotiations
