The UK's #1 ranked panning lawyer, Simon Ricketts, joins the podcast to discuss the Government's package of support for housebuilding in London. In the latest episode of Concilio's Better Places Podcast we were joined by the UK's #1 ranked Planning Lawyer, Simon Ricketts, to discuss the Government and Sadiq Khan's announcement of 23rd October on a series of measures that can support housebuilding in London. The housing crisis in London is real, with Molior reporting that private construction starts totalled just 3,248 homes in the first three quarters of 2025 and likely 5,000 for the year. One in six construction projects have halted whilst there were only 5,933 new home sales over Q1 to Q3. Alongside this, Build-to-Rent starts are drying up, with Molior predicting that BTR completions are set to disappear after 2027. The human impact of this is stark. More than 130,000 households are living in temporary accommodation in London and the cost of this has led to a £740m black hole for local authorities. Concilio's MD Nick Dines and Simon look at the Government's proposed reforms: Time-limited planning route that enables developers to secure planning permission for schemes on private land that provides at least 20% affordable without requiring an upfront viability assessment. This will qualify for Fast Track and be eligible for grant. Temporary relief from the Community Infrastructure Levy, covering 50% of the borough CIL charge for schemes delivering at least 20% affordable. Adjusting London Plan design guidance on dual aspect requirements, dwellings per core and cycle storage provision. Enhanced Mayoral planning powers, giving the Mayor the authority over 50 unit schemes, the ability to call in 1,000 sqm Green Belt and MOL and allow written rep call ins. An initial £322m allocation to establish a City Hall Developer Investment Fund Simon explains his understanding on the timings involved and looks at four different scenarios for developers: Existing planning permission that is unimplemented or is a phased consent Application approved by Committee yet does not have the Section 106 signed An application that has been submitted but has not been determined An application not yet submitted The podcast is a fascinating, must-listen episode if you want to understand how significant the changes coming to planning in London are.
Send us a textLondon's property market is under real pressure — but also full of opportunity. New housing starts have dropped to the lowest level in the UK, with developers blaming overregulation, affordability targets, and fire safety rules that make many projects unviable. Mayor Sadiq Khan faces mounting pressure to ease planning and even reconsider parts of the Green Belt to restart stalled developments.At the same time, the commercial sector is reinventing itself — offices are turning into hotel-style spaces, and industrial sheds are delivering some of the strongest returns in the market. Investors are taking advantage of political uncertainty, spotting bargains in REITs like Big Yellow and Tri Tax, both seen as top long-term plays.Meanwhile, stamp duty remains a heavy burden, but creative investors are finding ways around it — from negotiating with developers to exploring REITs and alternative property types. And in the luxury market, tax clampdowns and global sanctions are cooling demand, with prime homes sitting empty as overseas buyers pull back.Change is coming — and those who adapt early will win.#LondonProperty #RealEstateNews #PropertyMarket #HousingCrisis #CommercialProperty #REITs #PropertyInvestment #LuxuryHomes #UKProperty #InvestSmart #PropertyInsights #GreenBelt #StampDuty #Developers #MarketUpdatePROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.

On today's edition of The Daily T, Camila is joined in the studio by journalist and broadcaster Piers Morgan, to talk about his new book 'Woke is Dead'.Piers talks about how his friend Donald Trump's re-election brought an end to the "insane woke ideology", how Nigel Farage nearly torpedoed his interview with the President, why Sadiq Khan needs to "grow up" and Harry and Meghan's "increasing irrelevance".He also talks about the killing of Charlie Kirk, a man he'd interviewed on numerous occasions, and the "disgraceful" reaction from many on the left, including the at-the-time incoming president of the Oxford Union.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

More than half of the world's population now lives in cities – and that number keeps growing. Cities are engines of opportunity and economic growth, but they also generate vast amounts of waste, pollution, and emissions. Yet by bringing together people, ideas, and investments, cities also become hubs of innovation where climate solutions can emerge and scale. In this episode, James and Daisy explore the relationship between climate and cities. How is climate change reshaping urban life? How are cities adapting? And how can cities lead the way towards a more sustainable future? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: C40 Cities – A network of nearly 100 mayors taking collective action on climate. 3 in 4 C40 cities are reducing per capita emissions faster than their national governments. Cities & Regions Hub at COP30 – Elevates the role of subnational governments as key actors in the COP process and anchors their contributions to the global climate agenda.OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:Sustainable Development Commission – Formerly the UK Government's independent adviser on sustainable development (closed in 2011).Clover Hogan (2024) – People should stop buying electric cars and instead ask, “how do we redesign mobility?” SUN Mobility – Aims to establish one of the largest battery swapping networks by 2030, accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles. Smart Surfaces Coalition – Helps cities make “smart” surface decisions by demonstrating the value of surfaces that manage the sun and rain.The Wildlife Trusts (2022) – Bauer Outdoor Media aimed to have instal 150 bee bus stops across the UK by the end of 2022. ULEZ – London's Ultra Low Emission Zone is the largest clean air zone in the world. Sadiq Khan (2025) – “It was predicted to take 193 years to meet legal limits for air pollution in London – we did it in 9.”London National Park City – Declared in July 2019, with 49.7% of the city made up of green and blue space.Wild West End – A partnership between property owners (including The Crown Estate) to create ecological corridors between London's Royal Parks and garden squares.LBC (2025) – Oxford Street was car-free for a day and footfall rose nearly 50% as thousands rediscovered the joy of a truly public space.BBC (2024) – Honeybees account for 57% of all pollinating insects within the City of London despite being only one of 270 UK bee species.Paris – The 2021-2026 cycling plan aims to make Paris a fully cycle-friendly city, expanding bike infrastructure, secure parking systems, and the cycling ecosystem. Barcelona – The Master Plan for Barcelona's Trees 2017-2037 aims to increase the city's tree cover by 5% so that 30% of the city is covered by trees. The Guardian (2025) – In Jerez de la Frontera in Spain green canopies of grapevines cool streets by up to 8°C. UNDP (2024) – In Lima, Peru, fog catcher technology and automated irrigation are used to harvest water from fog oases. In Lagos, Nigeria, economic losses from flooding are already US$4 billion per year. Indonesia is set to replace Jakarta, the world's fastest-sinking city, with a newly planned capital that has yet to be built.Singapore – The “garden city” vision was introduced by then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on 11 May 1967.BBC (2024) – Nearly half of China's major cities are sinking due to water extraction and the increasing weight of their rapid expansion.

Londoners have been told for years to go electric – and many listened. Families swapped their cars for EVs on the school run. Small businesses invested in electric vans. Thousands of Uber drivers made the switch to cut emissions and costs.But with the Cleaner Vehicle Discount ending this Christmas, those same drivers and households will soon face new daily charges of up to £13.50 to enter central London. For many, that feels less like progress and more like punishment.The Electric London coalition, following The Standard's Leading the Charge campaign, is calling on Mayor Sadiq Khan to reverse the decision to scrap EVs' exemption from the congestion charge.In this final episode, The Standard's Business Editor Jonathan Prynn speaks with Andrew Brem, UK General Manager at Uber, and Steve Garelick from the GMB Union, to hear how professional drivers, small businesses and ordinary Londoners will be affected – and what this policy shift means for trust, fairness, and the future of London's clean air. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
London is rapidly expanding its electric vehicle infrastructure, with over 21,000 charging points across the city – nearly a third of the UK's total. But to meet its 2030 net zero targets, London will need tens of thousands more, with significant investment required across all boroughs. Upcoming changes to the Cleaner Vehicle Discount, which would end EVs' exemption from the congestion charge, risk slowing that progress.The Electric London coalition, following The Standard's Leading the Charge campaign, is calling on Mayor Sadiq Khan to protect London's EV uptake and ongoing infrastructure growth.In this second special episode focusing on investment and infrastructure, The Standard's Business Editor, Jonathan Prynn, speaks with Matt Croucher, Chief Commercial Officer at ChargePoint operator Believ, and Judy O'Keefe, Director of Fleet at Openreach, who is overseeing one of the UK's largest commercial EV transitions. They explore what it takes to electrify London at scale, the challenges facing fleet operators and charging providers, and what needs to happen to keep the city on track for a cleaner, electric future.

When the Prime Minister said Reform's migration policy was ‘racist' - was that a mistake? It dominated the Labour Party conference in Liverpool this week, where Beth asked Keir Starmer about his comments... and pulled him up on Donald Trump's remarks about Sadiq Khan. So with the May elections starting to loom in the minds of politicians, how worried are Labour that they are going to lose out to Reform? And did Andy Burnham have the impact everyone expected in Liverpool? Plus, Harriet and Ruth give their tales of conferences past.

Story 1: Can you still negotiate with your political opponents while posting memes of them wearing sombreros, while mariachi music blares in the background? That was the question posed to Vice President JD Vance in a viral clip currently circulating the internet as the government faces another day of a partial shutdown. Will explains why Vance's justification of the memes isn't as far-fetched as it may appear, due to some particularly unreasonable demands hidden within the legalese of the Democrat's funding plan. Story 2: British Author and Columnist at the New York Post Douglas Murray joins to discuss Great Britain's free speech crisis and if it represents a bad omen for the US. Will and Douglass discuss the parallels between London mayor Sadiq Khan and Zohran Mamdani, whether Britons feel national pride to the extent Americans do, and how the Founding Father's view of tolerance has been twisted beyond recognition to justify some ridiculous policy decisions. Story 3: Author, New York Post Columnist, and Host of ‘Pod Force One,' Miranda Devine joins to discuss a recent interview she conducted with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, during which he revealed some shocking information about his relationship with Epstein. Will and Miranda discuss everything we know about Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes so far, or perhaps more accurately, the concerning lack of information that still remains hidden from public knowledge. Then, in Final Takes, Will reads some comments from the Willitia, responding to their thoughts on today's show before sharing his top-secret hair routine. Will also reacts to a viral clip of former First Lady Michelle Obama complaining about her husband's chewing habits and Elon Musk reaching a net worth of $500 Billion dollars.

Trump used his United Nations address to call London's Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, a "terrible mayor," falsely claiming he's governing by Sharia law.

Donald Trump's wild speech at the UN General Assembly has done more than just cause a diplomatic headache; it's exposed the deep tensions simmering just below the surface of Keir Starmer's government.His attack on Sadiq Khan saw senior ministers like Wes Streeting and Shabana Mahmood scrambling to respond, raising the question: in a party rife with leadership speculation, is loyalty still the best strategy? With mounting speculation that Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is gearing up for a leadership challenge, Ed Balls and George Osborne dig into the manoeuvres and what they signal about the stability of Starmer's leadership, in a week where the UK also made its historic move to recognise the Palestinian state.Meanwhile, another great challenge looms for the government: the economy. With a reported £30 billion fiscal hole to fill, could a controversial wealth tax be the answer? And as the government seeks to respond to pressure on migration, is a return to ID cards the right move? George thinks the time has come for a digital identity scheme, but Ed is deeply sceptical it can work…To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

Among the claims Donald Trump made in his blistering UN speech was that Sadiq Khan is “terrible” and “they want to go to sharia law”.The London mayor has called the comments “Islamophobic”, but are there legitimate concerns to be had about the "shadow system" of approximately 85 sharia courts operating in the UK?Camilla and Tim speak to Fiyaz Mughal, founder of anti-Muslim monitoring project Tell MAMA, about how sharia courts work and why they can be harmful – not least to women.Plus, ahead of a speech by Keir Starmer about “reclaiming the flag”, we ask what patriotism and flag-waving really mean in the UK today.Read: ‘Shadow system' of Sharia courts challenges British justice Producer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Ece CelikExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

Trump's in town and it's every bit as grotesque as you'd imagine. From lavish royal dinners and tech-bro fawning, to unhinged speeches, salutes from GB News presenters, and Sadiq Khan becoming the scapegoat for everything wrong with Britain. Marina and Jemma pick apart the circus and wonder what Charles and Camilla must have made of it all. But the chaos doesn't stop there: while Starmer is trying to contain the Trumps, Corbyn and Sultana's “Your Party” collapses before it even gets going. So, No one's party then? Meanwhile, Reform are busy demanding more money for Andrea Jenkyns' inbox while plotting another Windrush scandal.Still, amid the nonsense, there are glimmers of hope - from the Greens cutting through to heart-warming pudding clips that remind us humanity isn't all bad.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump has made a fresh attack on Sir Sadiq Khan, and claimed London wants to “go to Sharia law”. A spokesperson for Sadiq, London's first Muslim mayor said: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response." The US president also appeared to change his stance on Ukraine, speculating that Kyiv could win back its land due to Russia's economic troubles.For analysis, we join The Standard's defence editor Robert Fox, who also tells us what he thinks Russia's plans are next.In part two, do you remember the Blitz Club?Forty years after its closure it's now being celebrated at the Design Museum.The Standard's head of culture, Martin Robinson, reveals everything you need to know, and why this exhibition will attract a large audience.

US President Donald Trump recently made the claim that London wanted to 'go to sharia law' under its 'terrible mayor', Sadiq Khan - a claim the mayor's office has quickly dismissed. The US President made this claim in an address to the UN general assembly earlier today. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Sadiq Khan's team claimed they refused to dignify Trump's comments with a response. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Richard Curtis, rom-com extraordinaire who put Notting Hill on the map is asking a question this week: he wants to know what areas Ed Balls and George Osborne are seeing progress and hope. Doom, gloom and cynicism are on hold - for a week, at least - for the pair to consider some more optimistic matters. Ed is hopeful about advancements on taking on diseases, while George considers the steps technology has improved people's lives.Meanwhile, Sadiq Khan asks about what they love most about London (spoiler: the tube gets a mention), and Seyi Akiwowo, the director of Glitch, a non-profit organisation campaigning to end online abuse, gets Ed and George thinking about hopeful advice for those casting their first vote and finding their political voice.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:
« La rue interpelle Lecornu », titre Libération, pour qui « la participation massive à la grève, ce jeudi, démontre le pouvoir d'organisation des syndicats ». « La mobilisation est réussie, elle est importante et populaire, poursuit le quotidien français, le principal message est clair, il exprime une forte volonté de justice et d'égalité ». Le Parisien, de son côté, remarque que l'intersyndicale « a réussi à mobiliser beaucoup plus de monde que le mouvement "Bloquons Tout", la semaine dernière ». « Mais après la chute du gouvernement Bayrou, avec des revendications éparses et dans l'attente du projet de budget, les syndicats tâtonnent. Ils devraient annoncer ce vendredi une nouvelle date de mobilisation », ajoute le quotidien. Le Figaro, de son côté, estime que « la mobilisation a été moins forte qu'attendu par le ministère de l'Intérieur qui avait déployé 80 000 policiers et gendarmes sur tout le territoire ». Le Monde, lui, a rencontré des « manifestants entre colère et désillusion ». À l'étranger, la journée de mobilisation en France ne fait pas les gros titres, mais en Allemagne, die Welt a retenu que « les manifestants avaient envahi la cour du ministère de l'Économie » et « qu'ils voulaient faire pression sur le premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu ». Ère de censure À la une également, la suspension de l'émission de Jimmy Kimmel, aux États-Unis. Le sujet intéresse la presse américaine, mais aussi la presse européenne. L'animateur de fin de soirée, a été sanctionné pour avoir tenu des propos ironiques sur la réaction de Donald Trump, après l'assassinat de l'influenceur et militant d'extrême droite Charlie Kirk, la semaine dernière. L'émission de Jimmy Kimmel a été suspendue par la chaîne qui la diffusait : ABC, « dont la maison mère est Disney » rappelle le Wall Street Journal, qui fait part de son inquiétude : « les propriétaires des médias sont confrontés à une dynamique politique et commerciale complexe sous l'administration Trump », explique le quotidien américain, qui prend pour exemple « la somme de 15 millions de dollars qu' ABC a accepté de payer l'année dernière, pour régler un procès en diffamation intenté par Trump contre la chaîne ». De son côté, le Washington Post titre sans ambiguïté : « La suspension de Jimmy Kimmel fait craindre une nouvelle ère de censure ». À Bruxelles, le Soir voit dans l'éviction de Jimmy Kimmel, « un nouvel exemple de la pression exercée par Donald Trump sur les voix critiques ». Enfin, à Madrid, El País estime que la décision de suspendre Jimmy Kimmel, s'ajoute à une « politique visant à faire taire les critiques de la presse, cibler les journalistes, et persécuter les organisations de gauche. » Faire appel à l'armée Donald Trump, qui par ailleurs, était reçu hier à Londres, en grande pompe, ce qui ne l'a pas empêché de critiquer sévèrement la politique des Britanniques en matière d'immigration. Et comme souvent, Donald Trump n'a pas été avare de conseils, suggérant au Premier ministre Keir Starmer de « faire appel à l'armée pour contrôler ses frontières ». Et même si la situation des États-Unis et celle du Royaume-Uni n'ont pas grand-chose à voir, le président américain n'a pas hésité à les comparer, rapporte le Guardian, Donald Trump « estimant que leur situation était très proche » : « des gens arrivent, et j'ai dit au Premier ministre que j'arrêterais ça, peu importe si on doit faire appel à l'armée ». « L'immigration détruit les pays de l'intérieur », a même ajouté Donald Trump. Après son départ, ajoute le Times, Trump aurait déclaré aux journalistes à bord d'Air Force One, « qu'il avait demandé à ce que Sadiq Khan, le maire de Londres, ne soit invité, à aucun évènement lors de sa visite d'État au Royaume-Uni ». Parce que c'est, selon lui, « l'un des plus mauvais maires du monde » et que « la criminalité est très élevée à Londres ». Le Times rappelle toutefois que le président américain et le maire de la capitale britannique « se sont à plusieurs reprises opposés publiquement, et cela, dès le premier mandat de Donald Trump ».
Royale Pracht, Proteste und geopolitisches KalkülDonald Trump ist zu seinem zweiten offiziellen Aufenthalt in Großbritannien eingetroffen. Anders als 2019 begleitet ihn diesmal eine explosive Mischung aus Protokoll, politischen Spannungen und internationalen Machtspielen. Während Trump königlich empfangen wurde, zeigen die Straßen von London und Windsor, wie tief die britische Gesellschaft gespalten ist – und wie eng innenpolitische und internationale Interessen mittlerweile miteinander verwoben sind.Ein Kommentar von Daniel Becker.Proteste gegen Trump und rechte MobilisierungAm Tag von Trumps Ankunft versammelte sich die Stop Trump Coalition in Windsor. Mit Bannern, Slogans wie „Donald Trump ist hier nicht willkommen“ und vor allem Projektionen auf Schlosswände machten die Demonstrierenden deutlich, dass sie den Auftritt des US-Präsidenten ablehnen. Besonders brisant war die Aktion, bei der Bilder von Trump, Jeffrey Epstein und Prinz Andrew auf die Mauern von Windsor Castle projiziert wurden. Die Darstellung erinnerte an die engen Verbindungen: Epstein, der 2019 unter dubiosen Umständen in Haft starb, pflegte Kontakte zu Trump und zum britischen Königshaus. Opfer wie Virginia Giuffre, die gemeinsam mit der verurteilten Kinderhändlerin Ghislaine Maxwell und Andrew fotografiert wurde, werfen letzterem Missbrauch als Minderjährige vor. Andrew bestritt die Vorwürfe, der Rechtsstreit endete in einem Vergleich. Die Projektionen griffen dieses dunkle Kapitel auf und stellten eine direkte Verbindung zwischen Trump, Epstein und dem britischen Establishment her.Die Polizei nahm vier Personen fest, die Aktion ging jedoch längst viral. Beobachter werteten sie als symbolischen Schlag gegen die Imagepolitik des Palasts – und als Erinnerung daran, dass royale Pracht die Vergangenheit nicht tilgt. Die Proteste verliefen zwar friedlich, spielten sich aber in einem hochgeladenen gesellschaftlichen Spannungsfeld ab, in dem politische Unzufriedenheit, mediale Polarisierung und transatlantische Einflussnahme zusammentreffen. Laut BBC Live riefen Demonstrierende lautstark „Trump raus“ und hielten Schilder mit Parolen wie „Nein zum Faschismus, nein zu Trump“ hoch.Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erhielt die digitale Einbindung von Elon Musk: Der US-Techmilliardär schaltete sich bei einem der großen vorangegangenen Protestaufzüge zu, um die britische Regierung scharf zu kritisieren und politische Veränderungen bis hin zu Neuwahlen zu fordern. Musk warnte drastisch: „Entweder ihr wehrt euch oder ihr werdet sterben.“ Die Übertragung an Bildschirmen entlang der Regierungsstraße und in sozialen Medien unterstrich die transatlantische Dimension der Mobilisierung. Musk tauchte neben Tommy Robinson auf – der in Großbritannien für seine umstrittenen Netzwerke bekannt ist. Diese gemeinsame Bühne verdeutlichte, wie externe Akteure die britische Protestbewegung beeinflussen.Premierminister Keir Starmer reagierte scharf und nannte Musks Äußerungen „gefährlich und aufhetzend“. Friedlicher Protest sei legitim, aber mit solcher Sprache werde „Gewalt und Einschüchterung auf unseren Straßen provoziert“. Auch Londons Bürgermeister Sadiq Khan warf Trump vor, er habe in den letzten Jahren „die Flammen spaltender, rechtsextremer Politik weltweit angefacht“. Damit wurde deutlich, wie sehr Trumps Besuch nicht nur ein diplomatisches, sondern auch ein innenpolitisches Ereignis war....https://apolut.net/donald-trump-in-grossbritannien-von-daniel-becker/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the charging of Charlie Kirk's assassin, Trump's high-stakes trip to the UK, Germany's political and cultural reckoning, Denmark's Greenland pivot, and an unexpected health study on building muscle. From courtroom revelations to foreign policy clashes and even workout science, today's brief connects the dots shaping America's security and daily life. Charlie Kirk Assassin Formally Charged: Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges with Utah prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Text messages revealed him telling his trans boyfriend, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.” Robinson bragged about “engraving bullets” and retrieving his rifle from a “drop point.” Senator Mike Lee warned of possible Cuban and Iranian ties to Armed Queers Salt Lake City, while critics blasted ABC News for framing the texts as a “very intimate portrait.” Bryan warns, “This is bigger than one loner assassin… this is a puzzle piece that fits into a Leftist revolution.” Trump Visits the UK Amid Socialist Criticism: London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked Trump as a xenophobe fanning “far-right politics,” even as King Charles prepared a lavish welcome. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and may also meet Reform UK's Nigel Farage, a move described as “Make Great Britain Great Again.” Bryan says such a meeting would be “sweet revenge” after Labour staffers campaigned for Kamala Harris in U.S. swing states last year. Germany's Reckoning with AfD Surge: The populist AfD party won record support in western Germany as voters revolt over high energy prices, economic stagnation, and radical Islam. A spate of Islamist terror attacks and growing “no-go zones” in Berlin add to fears, while reports mock German workers as lazier than Greeks or Italians. One slacker told reporters, “There are other parts of life besides work, you know.” Denmark's Greenland Pivot: After Trump's pressure to secure Greenland, Denmark pledged $250 million for new runways, ports, and defenses against China and Russia. The timing of the announcement — as Trump landed in London — highlighted Denmark's attempt to appease U.S. demands without ceding sovereignty. Finland and Poland Revive Bog Defenses: Officials plan to restore swamps and peat bogs along Russian borders to bog down invading tanks, reviving a centuries-old defense strategy. Baltic nations may follow, though Germany dismissed the idea as too costly. Health Research on Muscle Building: Illinois researchers found that lean pork after workouts builds more muscle than fattier cuts, adding to past findings that whole eggs and fresh salmon outperform supplements. Bryan quips, “Get strong… you never know when a Leftist might come for you.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson charged, Utah death penalty, Armed Queers Salt Lake City Cuba Iran ties, ABC News Charlie Kirk texts coverage, Trump UK visit Sadiq Khan criticism, King Charles Windsor Castle Trump, Nigel Farage Reform UK meeting, Germany AfD populist surge, German worker laziness Washington Post, Germany Islamist terror Cologne rapes, Denmark Greenland $250 million defense, Finland Poland restore bogs Russia defense, Illinois lean pork muscle building study, whole eggs salmon workout protein
#Patriots #TommyRobinson #JonGaunt #Starmer #SadiqKhan #WokeLeft #TrumpVisit #UKPolitics #FreeSpeech The Patriots are winning — and the usual suspects can't handle it. Starmer, Sadiq Khan, and their pals in the mainstream media are screaming “racist” at anyone who dares wave the flag or show pride in Britain. Was the Tommy Robinson rally racist? Is the Raise the Colours campaign racist? Of course not. But the woke elites hate ordinary, working-class people standing up for their country — and now they're even protesting Trump's state visit. REMEMBER: - When the woke cry ‘racist,' you know we're winning. - They hate patriotism because they can't control it. - Working-class pride vs. elite hysteria — guess who's louder? - Patriots don't apologize for loving their country. - The flag belongs to the people, not the politicians. - Patriotism isn't a crime — no matter what the elites say. - The louder they cry, the stronger we fly the flag. - Britain belongs to its people, not the political class. Jon Gaunt says the louder they howl, the more obvious it is: the Patriots are turning the tide. Join the fightback.

High streets across the UK are being overwhelmed by betting shops. They gobble up £4.6 billion from punters every year - and local councils have almost no powers to block them. Labour MP Dawn Butler's constituency, Brent East in North-West London, has 81 licensed enterprises alone. Jumping into “Betsy”, Dawn's prized old-banger, Coco is taken out and about in Willesden to see first hand how betting shops are popping up everywhere and hear what local residents think. Along with 37 council leaders and mayors, Dawn is calling for a reform of the Gambling Act 2005 and a hike in gambling duties. With hints she might stand to be London mayor at the next election - could this be the first glimpse of her campaign? Then, Nish and Coco give their assessment of Keir Starmer and the European moral support squad's visit to the White House - is Putin still calling the shots on Ukraine? And as Starmer's Government slumps to an all-time low in the polls, Sadiq Khan has a spicy take on Labour's first year in power. But a glimmer of hope: is that a don't-call-it-a-wealth-tax on the horizon? On a less hopeful note, what on earth is going on with Labour's social media account? And Nish and Coco struggle to get their head around the new Gen Z additions to the Cambridge Dictionary. Is politics all “delulu with no solulu”?

Trump #NationalGuard #Starmer #UKPolitics #BorderCrisis #ElectionNow #SadiqKhan #JonGaunt While Donald Trump takes decisive action in Washington DC, deploying the National Guard to restore order, the UK drifts deeper into chaos under Sir Keir Starmer's watch. From the southern border to the streets of DC, Trump proves where there's a will, there's a way. Meanwhile, in Britain, the political establishment sits on its hands: Illegal crossings surge as the Channel remains unguarded. Crime spirals as shoplifters walk free and police focus on tweets, not streets. London is plagued with violent crime, yet we get painted signs on pavements warning of phone snatchers instead of officers catching them. Like Washington, our capital needs cleaning up – and then we must move through the rest of the UK. Communities protest outside migrant hotels as tensions mount. 650,000 people have signed a petition demanding an election. Mums are protesting. Vigilante groups are forming. The UK needs action now – troops at Dover, the Navy in the Channel, and real policing on our streets.
Sadiq Khan offers to show Donald Trump around London, then drops a wild description of the city, J.K. Rowling urges boycott over a trans bra-fitting row. Plus, Disney airs Family Feud with an all-trans team raising money for sex workers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/05/2025): 3:05pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response, Governor Greg Abbott has argued that fleeing the state to prevent the legislative process simply because you don't like the expected outcome of an upcoming vote amounts to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.” 3:15pm- Fun Fact: Did you know that the total number of House members briefly expanded from 435 to 437 in 1959 when both Hawaii and Alaska became states. Congress temporarily approved of the expansion to prevent any existing state from losing a seat immediately upon the Hawaii/Alaska admission. 3:40pm- While appearing on CNBC, President Donald Trump said of Texas redistricting efforts: “We are entitled to five more seats.” 3:45pm- In response to Texas's redistricting attempt, Governor Gavin Newsom has pledged to redistrict California—presumably removing several Republican congressional seats. Interestingly, Republicans currently hold just 17% of the congressional seats in CA—despite nearly 40% of the state voting for Donald Trump in 2024. Doesn't that suggest the state is already heavily gerrymandered? Comparatively, Democrats currently hold 32% of the House seats in Texas (with one vacant seat in a district that is reliably blue—so, the real number is closer to 34%). Kamala Harris won 42% of the Texas statewide vote in 2024. 4:05pm- Hans von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Department of Justice launching a grand jury investigation into the “Russiagate” hoax. 4:20pm- Rich saw the new Naked Gun movie with Liam Neeson—and it was surprisingly good! 4:35pm- Patricia Posner—Journalist & Author of the book, “The Pharmacist of Auschwitz”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest piece for The New York Post, “Zohran Mamdani's NYC could look like Sadiq Khan's far-left London and New Yorkers should be terrified.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2025/08/02/opinion/zohran-mamdanis-nyc-could-look-like-sadiq-khans-far-left-london/. 4:50pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. Following the EO signing, Trump took questions from the press—including on the war between Russia and Ukraine, supplying food to the people of Gaza, transgender athletes competing in the Olympics, halting illegal border crossings, redistricting efforts in Texas, and the possibility of the Trump Administration paying Americans a “dividend” using some of the money saved via DOGE's government waste cuts. Plus, who does he think will be the Republican presidential nominee in 2028? He hinted at a potential JD Vance-Marco Rubio ticket! 5:40pm- Earlier today, President Donald Trump toured construction projects he's funding at the White House—including a quick stroll on the roof! 5:45pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response, Governor Greg Abbott has argued that fleeing the state to prevent the legislative process simply because you don't like the expected outcome of an upcoming vote amounts to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.” 5:50pm- Sen.

This week on The Trawl, Jemma is holding the fort while Marina dials in from across the pond — on an Aperol-fuelled mission to confront Ron DeSantis (allegedly).Meanwhile, Trump's been busy spreading his own unique brand of diplomacy terrorising Scotland, schmoozing Ursula von der Leyen with his usual brand of gibberish, and trying to memory-hole Epstein. He also undermines Starmer, slags off Sadiq Khan and gets annoyed with starving Gazans for not saying 'thank you.' There's some incredible South Park chaos, a Jerome Powell punch-up, and Keir Starmer's latest attempt at relatable politics – with all the grace of a Turdbury meal deal. As always, it's chaotic, unfiltered, and one hell of a scroll.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey
Donald Trump is in Scotland, holding court at Turnberry. He's welcomed Sir Keir and Lady Victoria Starmer to his golf course, and had a long discussion with reporters at a wide ranging press conference, that covered Russia, Gaza, and his long running feud with London mayor Sadiq Khan. To unpack it all, Freddy is joined by political editor Tim Shipman, and deputy US editor Kate Andrews.
Tom Harwood looks at the most explosive moments from Donald Trump's UK press conference – including his brutal swipe at London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Trump didn't hold back, calling Khan "nasty," while Keir Starmer faced an awkward moment trying to defend the under-fire Mayor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Nigel Farage is no stranger to harsh criticism from his political rivals, but never before has he been linked to prolific paedophile Jimmy Savile.That is, until now.Cabinet minister Peter Kyle has accused the Reform UK leader of being “on the side” of Savile after Farage said he would repeal the government's online safety act. Farage has now demanded an apology - but Kyle's doubled down. Are Labour brushing over the genuine unease that many people have about the online safety act? And is their rhetoric making Farage look like the grown up in the room? Later, did Starmer do enough to defend his friend Sadiq Khan after Trump called him a “nasty person?”The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

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