Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me to look back at an eventful start to the big Trump sequel. From the Village People to accusations of Nazi salutes we deep dive on all things inauguration. Then we ask how the hell Keir Starmer gets in Trump's good books, while also scratching our heads at Brexiteers starting to sound like Remainers.

On the eve of the 2024 General Election, we're tackling one of the UK's most divisive topics; Brexit.The 2016 referendum on EU membership split voters in two, creating two entrenched camps - Brexiteers and Remainers - whose differences show no signs of abating 8 years later. To better understand this political hot potato, we're charting Britain's relationship with the EU from the 1950s all the way up to the present day.Dan is joined by Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London. Tim explains why Britain first pursued closer integration with Europe, and how various factors saw the Brexit movement eventually gain traction.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann, and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Part of the Enduring Disorder is our increasingly divided and partisan narratives. Trump vs. Biden, Leavers against Remainers, Palestinians and Israelis. Many of today's political actors appear unable to understand and empathise with their opponent's points of view. Why? Potential because social media, cancel culture, and increased partisanship seems to have actually decreased people's ability to feel empathy or to desire it from their politicians.     But should all our politicians just be more empathetic? Actually electorally that might not work.  Do Democrats actually want to see Biden empathise with Speaker Johnson blocking aid to Ukraine? Would Labour voters accept it if Kier Starmer had sympathy with Boris Johnson lying to parliament? And does the Israeli electorate want a politician who has empathy for why Hamas committed the atrocities of Oct 7?     So what does empathy really mean in geopolitics? And how can it actually be put into practice in today's politics? Most crucially how could a genuinely empathetic politics be useful in trying to order the disorder?     To find out, Jason Pack is joined by Dr Claire Yorke. She is an author and academic whose work explores the role and limitations of empathy and emotions in international relations, diplomacy, strategy, and political leadership. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Australian War College in Canberra. Jason and Claire discuss: what exactly is empathy? Can or should you empathise with someone that you fundamentally disagree with?

On this episode of the Reaction Podcast, host Iain Martin is joined by Tim Shipman, chief political commentator at The Sunday Times, to talk about his new book, No Way Out: Brexit: From the Backstop to Boris. They discuss the political gambles, successes and failures that led Brexit Britain to where it is today, the legacy of Theresa May's premiership, what the Brexit moment tells us about historical revolutionary times, the dishonesty of both Brexiteers and Remainers and the future of Britain outside the EU.

The Labour Party first took office on 22nd January 1924. In the century that followed it has only had six prime ministers and been in power for a total of 33 years. The Labour MP Jon Cruddas looks back at A Century of Labour – the successes and failures. While the Party has been riven by factions from the left and the right, Cruddas also looks at the competing visions of the what the Party represents.The Labour Party was born out of the increase in franchise, the industrialisation of the workforce and unions, and in its early days class was a key factor in voting patterns. The political scientist Jane Green is a specialist in public opinion and electoral behaviour. She argues that the Brexit vote created a new divide between Leavers and Remainers, and considers the significant impact of age and education on voting habits.With an election due this year all political parties will be preparing their manifestos and presenting their vision of the future. The Professor of Politics at the London School of Economics, Jonathan White, focuses on the future as a political idea in The Long Run. While the democratic electoral cycle foregrounds short term policies, White argues it's time for politicians to consider long-term solutions.Producer: Katy Hickman

Brexit was necessary but insufficient, as the UK remains mired in the anti-democratic pathologies of 'member statehood'. Two of the authors of Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy After Brexit - Bungacast and UCL's Phil Cunliffe and LSE's Peter Ramsay - join us to discuss their novel thesis on the history of the EU, how Leavers and Remainers alike misunderstood the meaning of Brexit, and why only leaving NATO, unifying Ireland, seceding from Britain's remaining colonial territories, and abolishing the House of Lords can finish the job!

In our fourth Wednesday Night Fightback, Michael Taylor and William Clouston discuss attitudes to Brexit. Despite the name-calling and the media's determination that the Brexit vote should cause incurable rifts, there are areas of agreement and shared concerns between ‘Leavers' and ‘Remainers'. William and Michael ask whether it is time to talk to Remainers and invite them to join us in our mission to repair and rebuild.

Chris — an old friend and, in my view, one of the sharpest right-of-center writers in journalism — returns to the Dishcast. A senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and contributing editor to the Claremont Review of Books, his latest book, The Age of Entitlement, is a constitutional narrative of the last half-century that is indispensable — especially for liberals — in understanding the roots of our polarization. We discussed the book last year. This time on the pod, Chris has just returned from Europe and discusses the rapidly shifting politics there.For two clips of our convo — on how one-child families could be the downfall of Putin's war, and how Biden is co-opting Trump on border policy and China — pop over to our YouTube page. Other topics: Meloni and the US media meltdown, Truss, Remainers vs. Leavers, Boris, the energy crisis, possible off-ramps for the war, Russian dissenters, and the waning of American exceptionalism when it comes to religion.

SHORT SHARP SHROP: Christmas comes early as Johnson's Tories are utterly humiliated in the North Shropshire by-election, with the ignominious loss of a 23,000-vote majority in a Tory heartland – and the biggest swing to the Lib Dems since 1993. What brought about this debacle: sleaze, scandal, Christmas parties, Johnson selling out farmers, Owen Paterson's arrogance, or Johnson's own repellent personality? And did Labour play it right by not campaigning too hard? Ros, Naomi and Dorian gather for a nice hot glass of mulled schadenfreude. “This shows there isn't yet huge appetite for a Starmer government. What there is, is disgust at the Conservative government.” – Ros Taylor “Unlike Chesham and Amersham this wasn't Remainers' Revenge. This was very much a verdict on Johnson.” – Naomi Smith “The Paterson affair shows Johnson's fatal flaw: hubris. This will be his downfall.” – Ros Taylor Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ros Taylor. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Robin Leeburn.

The Brexit Bounce continues, and predictions that the sky would fall in, everything would run short, and we wouldn't even get our medicine have tumbled one after the other. The fate of the car industry after Brexit was one of the most commonly deployed tropes. And so, when Nissan made its announcement last week that it was investing £1 billion in Sunderland in a new electric car development, there was much rejoicing – except amongst the most embittered Remainers. To discuss how Brexit's going, we invited esteemed economist and former banking guru Dr. Gerard Lyons aboard Sputnik. Portugal, like Spain and Greece, was a dictatorship until the middle of the 1970s. All three dictatorships had similarities and differences. In Greece, it was a military junta; in Spain, El Caudillo General Franco, the flamboyant fascist whose thousands of graves are still being uncovered; and then there was the forgotten man, the Portuguese dictator Salazar. Antonio Salazar ruled Portugal from 1932 to 1968, when he was succeeded by his protege Marcelo Caetano. The whole show was overthrown in the Portuguese carnation revolution of 1974. There's a whole generation of people who've never heard of Salazar and so, 51 years after his death, author of new book ‘Salazar: The Dictator Who Refused to Die' Tom Gallagher, emeritus professor of politics at Bradford University, is more than timely in boarding Sputnik.

The surprise result of Friday's Chesham and Amersham by-election has led to questions over why the Conservative lost just so badly - and why no one saw it coming. On today's Coffee House Shots, Conservative Home's Paul Goodman warns against over-reading the situation: 'When it comes to by-elections, the golden rule should be, why not presume that voters will kick the establishment? ...  I really think, as I'm looking around at these Remainers coming out of their various holes and lairs, indulging these pathetic fantasies, that they have this out of proportion' James Forsyth adds that the result isn't so much a problem for the Conservative party, as it is symptomatic of the future problems in party management.  Tory MPs of various stripes have analysed the results through the lens of their personal cause, and for southern MPs, the issue stems from a tilt away from the traditional Tory base to appease the new Red Wall seats: 'Every rebel with a cause is going to say that that cause has been demonstrated by this result, and all of it will just make party management more complex.'

Love it or hate it, London dominates the UK politically, economically and culturally. It's nearly 200 years since one critic famously described the capital as ‘the Great Wen' a monstrous cyst sucking the life blood from the rest of the country. And for many that belief still stands. In The London Problem: What Britain Gets Wrong About Its Capital City the academic, and Londoner, Jack Brown untangles the complex strands of anti-London rhetoric, separating hyperbole from fact. In 2019 the former special advisor Dominic Cummings told journalists to ‘get out of London. Go and talk to people who are not rich Remainers', feeding into another perception of the capital. But the city is far from homogenous: 40% of Londoners voted for Brexit, and the population is the most ethnically and religiously diverse and has the greatest levels of poverty, compared to the rest of the country. The writer Jennifer Kavanagh spent two years getting out and talking to people on the streets of London – from beggars, to stall owners, to entertainers to thieves. Let Me Take You By The Hand tells the stories in their own words, of those who work and live in the capital. The German composer George Frideric Handel moved to London in 1712 and made it his home. The countertenor Iestyn Davies celebrates Handel's life in the capital, following his footsteps from his operatic triumphs in Covent Garden, past his local church in Hanover Square, to his Mayfair home. In Handel's London Altos, at King's Place on 24th June, Davies will perform a series of pieces showcasing his best work. Producer: Katy Hickman

Comedian Mitch Benn joins Steve Anglesey to talk about the battle over fishing rights and why it's hard for Remainers to not say "we told you so". Plus, how Keir Starmer can improve and Jed Mercurio's not-very-subtle digs at Boris Johnson. Then Belfast Telegraph journalist Gail Walker joins to preview the DUP's leadership election, and what it means for Unionism.

Joining me on this week’s Power Done Differently is Naomi Smith, CEO of the pro-Europe campaign group Best for Britain, and co-host of one of my favourite podcasts, ‎OH GOD, WHAT NOW? Naomi has been up close on some of the most significant political failures in the UK over the last decade. She was one of the few who predicted that the last election would end badly for Remainers, but when she tried to warn them, she was shouted down by MPs. So of course we talk about Brexit, the Labour Party and the Lib Dem's, but we also talk about so much more. Naomi gets candid about growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles, what that can teach us about a post Brexit/Trump world, and how the racial harassment of a classmate by a teacher exposed her to how power can corrupt, and how abusers will use that power. We explore the role big tech has in the radicalisation of young men and in directing violence towards women, alongside why most politicians don’t have the real life experience to be good leaders. While Naomi claims she has no interest in running for office again, I can’t help but feel politics would be all the better for having more women like Naomi Smith in power.

The UK Government sometimes surpasses even itself. The 'Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill' is a new bit of legislation so universally hated that even Brexiteers and Remainers are united in its opposition.At its heart is a transparent attempt to outlaw all protest beyond a tut and a roll of the eyes, following highly inconvenient Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter demos in recent years. Not content at stopping there though, the Bill also takes aim at Gypsy and Roma communities, essentially criminalising their way of life. We can't quite believe it's as bad as it all sounds, but Rosemary Harris, a political campaigner at Friends of the Earth, joins us to explain that it most definitely is; to assess the likelihood of it becoming law; and to chew over the implications for anyone wishing to protest the state of things if it does.

It may seem like a trivial point, that elections should be representative - are they not already? Well they may appear to be - but they're not, really, in the UK. Boris Johnson's government took power with less than one third of the electorate. So two-thirds of voters would have preferred not to have the Conservatives in power. But this is nothing in comparison to the take-over of the Conservative party by a group who are in many ways extremists, who slipped in under the banner of Getting Brexit Done. So very far from being representative of electorate, the system we have has resulted in a wealthy, powerful and power-hungry minority taking control.In this episode we trace the destructive effects of our system of First Past The Post, and explore some systems of Proportional Representation, and the benefits they bring.Talking points:Democracy and Subsidiarity in the context of Biosphere and People, as sub-series of this podcastThe current set-up in the UK: First Past the Post as a distortion fieldDestructive effects of First Past The PostWho does it serve?

Our 250th edition! In the Thatcher governments of the 80s Michael Heseltine was the loudest voice for embattled One Nation Toryism. In later years he's become a hero to Remainers, eventually paying for his Europhilia with expulsion from the party. Ian Dunt talks to him about the future of Toryism, what it was like to work with Margaret Thatcher, what he makes of Keir Starmer… and whether circumstances will force Boris Johnson back to the One Nation Toryism we thought he'd driven out of the party. “The most sensible thing for Britain is to reapply to join the EU. It won't happen soon – but it should.”“Yes, Margaret Thatcher would have pandered to popular opinion. She was a politician. But she would never do anything as reckless as leaving the Single Market.” “The words of the Levelling Up agenda are fine. What's completely missing is the deeds.” Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Logo and branding by Mark Taylor. Music: Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.

James O'Brien and I disagree on a lot - as you'd expect, I'm a socialist, he's a liberal - but we have a very amicable chat about his disappointment with Keir Starmer, our different views on Jeremy Corbyn, about whether Remainers should have pushed for a soft Brexit rather than betting the house on Remain, about Boris Johnson, the right-wing media and Andrew Neil.Please 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.

Brexit may be of great import to us but maybe not such hot news for the rest of the world. COVID is a much more immediate, pressing issue across the globe than the UK’s new adventure. So what is The View From Abroad as far as how the UK has dealt with the twin demons of Brexit and COVID are concerned?In the latest in its series of podcasts supported by the investment bank Stifel and its European President Eithne O’Leary, Jericho Chambers Partner, Matthew Gwyther speaks to Eithne plus four observers of the UK scene to hear their feelings about the last year and what now lies ahead for Britain as it faces an uncertain future.Stephen Sackur is one of the BBC’s most experienced reporters and presenters. His Hard Talk programme on BBC World means he can hardly walk down the street in Islamabad, Mexico City or Dubai without being mobbed by admirers. Sackur has been based in Washington, Cairo, Eastern Europe and Brussels. He has a strong sense of how we are perceived by those from abroad. In his interview which ranges broadly across politics, Big Tech regulation, soft power and fake news he warns, “those die-hard Remainers who just won’t let go are on a one-way ticket to insanity.” This podcast is part of The Double-Wicked Challenge; COVID and Brexit conversation series, curated by Jericho on behalf of Stifel Europe.For further information or to get involved, please contact Jericho Founder, Robert Phillips or Programme Director, Becky Holloway.

Richard Porritt, Matt Withers and Cash Boyle return to shine a light on another week in politics.The trio discuss the Brexit deal, the Covid vaccination roll-out, Joe Biden's victory confirmation and dimly-remembered 1980s soap opera Sons And Daughters.They are joined by editor-at-large Alastair Campbell to discuss why Remainers couldn't stop Brexit, whether it's time to campaign for Rejoin and if Tony Blair is the man to sort out the jabs.Plus LEAVE.EU and Gavin Williamson get the Cash And Burn treatment.

Why has self-interest become such a dirty word (or words) in politics? Why do we always assume the worst motives in our opponents? And if voters keep on disappointing progressives by voting against their supposed economic interests, do we need to revise our idea of what self-interest really is? Thomas Prosser, author of What's In It For Me? Self-Interest And Political Difference explains why we should stop worrying and learn to love the concept of self-interest. “Reflecting on self-interest takes the sting out of politics.”“Progressives – unlike conservatives – aren't so good at recognising the validity of self-interest.”“Self-interest isn't just economic, it's cultural. That's where Remainers went wrong on Brexit.”“There's an argument that the 2017 Labour manifesto was the least redistributive ever.”“Awareness of self-interest makes us more tolerant.”Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison.

Intra-Christmas Emergency Edition. Having cancelled Christmas, Johnson then ruined what was left of it by crowing about his Deal. But what’s in it? How should Remainers feel about it? Where did Britain cave? Have British fish been sold down the river? Why is nobody talking about services? And exactly how much of that tasty, tasty control has Brexit Britain really taken back?“The dominant narrative is ‘Don’t scrutinise this deal, it’s all water under the bridge now.’ When does accountability happen?” – Alex Andreou“This is a piss-poor deal even by its own standards… It’s a base camp to us eventually getting closer and closer to Europe.” – Ian Dunt“The Withdrawal Agreement was the first one where the EU got exactly what it wanted… and now the Trade Deal is the second.” – Alex Andreou“There are concrete reasons to think this is the start of us going back, not the end of us leaving.” – Ian Dunt“I hate to say it, but the EU really has taken back control.” – Alex AndreouPresented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Andreou and Ian Dunt.

Chris Kendall, EU official and host of the wonderfully informative Cakewatch podcast. Cakewatch is aimed at combatting the British exceptionalism and misconceptions held by both Remainers and Brexiteers. In this discussion we get into the concept of Cakeism, the reforms that both Britain and Europe might undertake post-Brexit, the concepts of Federalism and Subsidiarity, and much, much more.

Matthew Goodwin, academic, author and Brex-pert takes his seat in the spaceship to Planet Normal, alongside Telegraph columnists and co-pilots, Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan. Professor Goodwin weighs in on why he thinks Boris Johnson urgently needs to 'reset his premiership', the very real possibility of a Labour-SNP coalition, and why he believes both Brexiteers and Remainers will blame each other for post-Brexit economic disruption.Also on the podcast: Liam laments the oncoming 'unemployment tsunami', Allison takes a stand against Christmas housework and both our hosts celebrate the Pfizer vaccine.Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/allison-pearson/ |Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Do you need help subscribing or reviewing?

Many small firms can identify with Nimisha Raja's view of Brexit: "We have absolutely no idea what's going on." Ms Raja, founder and boss of Nim's Fruit Crisps, stockpiled supplies last year in the run-up to the original Brexit date in March. But she told the BBC she had no plans to do the same ahead of 31 October. Ms Raja is not alone. New research by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) shows 41% of UK firms have done no risk assessment on the impact of Brexit. What is going on with Brexit, we all need to know. Mark and Pete tease out the options.

For the second time in a week, James Delingpole and Toby Young take to the microphones to keep us up to date on the latest machinations of the Remainers and the state of Brexit with a special edition of London Calling. Is this a moment of reckoning for both the country and the Conservative Party? Is this the Conservative Party voters have been waiting for? Source

There is plenty of constitutional outcry on the front pages of the British papers today, which all lead with Boris Johnson's decision to suspend parliament ahead of the looming Brexit deadline. Front pages from abroad show the international press is transfixed too. There is “Outrage as Johnson suspends parliament” according to the Guading newspaper. The paper leads with John Bercow's comments that the decision was a “constitutional outrage” and the paper's leader says: “Johnson's move represents a grotesque abuse of the country's highest office”. Is the the end of democracy in Britain, or something entirely different?

First up this week on The United Kingdom's Most Trusted Podcast® James and Toby turn their eyes towards America and the shootings in El Paso and Dayton and the role, if any, that the rhetoric of the Left and Right contributes to the problem. Then they get more domestic and the touch on the dwindling hopes of the Remainers in the wake of Boris Johnson's entrance into Number 10. Toby then calls for... Source

The Hearing is back. And it's back with a great big Brexit bang. Amongst the din and clatter of the chaos that has encapsulated the country, several key figures have emerged. Dominic Grieve QC is one of them. Persona non-grata for most of his own party; a hero to millions of petition-signing Remainers. This is what The Hearing does best. Join Kevin and Dominic as they put the world to right – or wrong, depending on your point of view. Expect opinions on everything from tweeting, David Cameron and the Murdochs, and of course the 'B' word. (This episode was recorded before the recent vote of no confidence from Dominic's local party, and the associated scandal revealed by The Guardian.) Find out more at tr.com/TheHearing

British MPs have voted for a delay in the Brexit process for three months or more, after struggling to agree on what terms the UK should leave the European Union on 29 March. You might think, after months of division, infighting and uncertainty that surely, surely, this means everything will go smoothly from here? Mark and Pete give their predictions. They were right about Trump and the referendum in 2016 so listen up.

Sam Tarry ... Hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Cooper talk to Sam Tarry, national political officer from the TSSA union who has spent much of his time of late in Parliament convincing MPs to do the right thing on Brexit. After another extraordinary week in UK politics we talk to him about the next steps and whether hard Remainers are on the cusp of victory or defeat.

Alena Ivanova ... There is a new centrist party in Britain as the Brexit crisis rumbles on. The electoral coalition to deliver a radical political agenda suddenly looks in peril. So this hasn't been an easy week for left radical Remainers – with the forces of the status quo centre suddenly looking stronger. How do we beat the centrists, deliver the socialist programme that Britain urgently needs and stop Brexit in its tracks? Hosts Zoe Williams and Luke Coopear are joined by Alena Ivanova from the Another Europe office to lay out a strategy for where we go next.

Brexit supporter Andrew Bridgen said: "This week Theresa May will find that she is drinking in the last chance saloon and the bad news for her is that the bar is already dry." What are we to do about getting a Brexit deal with the EU? Should we have a new leader to take us through the process? Boris Johnson? Jacob Rees Mogg? Tom and Jerry? Mark and Pete give the answers.

Richard Suchet speaks to Iain Dale and Jonathan Lis to see if Boris Johnson has united leavers and remainers. Plus, we speak to the British expat battling to keep EU citizenship. And we hear from the frontline of Operation Sceptre.

A senior government source, Royston, leaks from the Brexit negotiations with some uncomfortable listening for Remainers and Brexiters alike.

June 23rd, 2016. British voters went to the ballot box to decide whether to Leave or Remain part of the European Union.   June 24th, 2016. It's debatable whether Leavers or Remainers were the more shocked by the result: Brexit.   In the aftermath, the Irish passport office ran out of application forms as many … Continue reading Teaser

There was jubilation among many who were on the winning side of last month's EU referendum. But the vote, more than any in recent memory, laid bare the UK's divisions - not only in demographics but also social attitudes. Many of the 16m people who voted Remain expressed shock, sadness and even grief after the result. Two weeks ago The Briefing Room visited Wakefield in West Yorkshire to find out about those who voted Leave. In this programme, David Aaronovitch takes the opposite tack and visits Lambeth, the south London borough that stretches from the banks of the Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament to the Capital's suburban fringes. He talks to long-standing residents and relative newcomers to find out what Remainers feel now. In in area where nearly four-fifths of those who voted backed Remain, is there a still a sense of upset over the result? And having been outvoted in one of the UK's biggest democratic experiments, what do they plan to do now?Interviewees in Lambeth include: Devon Thomas chair of the Brixton Neighbourhood Forum, local Green Party candidate Rashid Nix, Labour Party volunteer Gareth Rhys, Rosamund Urwin of the London Evening Standard, Tom Shahkli general manager of the Brixton Pound project, and Rui Reis, vice chair of the Portuguese cultural and football club in Stockwell.Studio guests: Cordelia Hay of Britain Thinks and Stian Westlake of NESTA.Producer: Mike Wendling Researcher: Kirsteen Knight.

Stephen Sackur talks to the former deputy prime minister and passionate Remain advocate Lord Heseltine. Britain's referendum campaign on whether to stay in or leave the European Union is not going quite as Prime Minister, David Cameron, would have wished. He wants a convincing win for the Remain camp on 23 June but the polls suggest it will be very close. Are the Remainers beginning to worry?(Photo: Former Conservative Cabinet Minister Michael Heseltine attends the funeral for Tony Benn, 2014. Credit: Oli Scarff/Getty Images)
