Podcasts about Salmond

As Mike Amesbury bows out of his career as a Labour MP after being caught on tape assaulting a constituent, this week's episode of Westminster Insider goes inside politicians' wrangles with the law. Host Sascha O'Sullivan finds out if winding up in front of a judge can ever be survivable for a politician — high-profile or not. She talks to former Lib Dem advisor Sean Kemp about how the case of Chris Huhne, climate secretary during the coalition years, triggered a by-election which almost threatened the leadership of Nick Clegg. Fergus Mutch, former director of communications to the Scottish National Party, recalls being a witness in the trial of his former boss, Alex Salmond, who was eventually acquitted of charges of sexual assault in 2020. Mutch says the Salmond trial and the internal warfare it triggered did huge amounts of damage to the SNP. And Sascha turns to the sensational hush money trial of Donald Trump in the midst of the 2024 presidential election campaign. She talks to Michael Martins, a former senior advisor to the US embassy in the U.K., and Sarah Elliot, the spokesperson for Republicans overseas about how Trump eventually used the trial to his advantage. Sascha looks at how Marine Le Pen is using a similar playbook to Trump, with a trial against her helping galvanise her support base. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, James, Eric and Oliver critique Dame Anne Salmond's Newsroom article that characterises the proposed Regulatory Standards Bill as part of a broader neoliberal agenda to undermine democracy in New Zealand. They challenge both Salmond's immediate criticisms of the bill (which they argue misrepresents its regulatory quality focus) and her broader historical argument linking classical liberal organisations like the Mont Pelerin Society to anti-democratic movements, arguing instead that classical liberalism has historically stood against totalitarianism and for democratic values.

On Nicola Sturgeon's Criticism of Alex Salmond and His Family's Response“Telling the truth is now considered an attack and something that should be forbidden or locked away in a box.”“Nicola Sturgeon's Financial Times interview was more candid than her ‘measured' statements to Parliament – did she conceal critical details?”On Reform UK and Scottish Politics:“2025 will be the year of Reform UK… Farage emboldens his raison d'être as mainstream parties feed his populist agenda.”“Thomas Kerr's defection exposes dark, shadowy forces behind Scottish Tory leadership – a symptom of a party in freefall.”On Rachel Reeves and Labour:“Rachel Reeves isn't just struggling; whispers about her future might turn into howls if Labour can't deliver growth.”“Reeves and Starmer's economic strategies betray their lip service to growth – they're politicians of expediency, not vision.”On Trump's Return:“Expect headlines, nonsense, and contradictory entertainment – and for the sensible, a whole lot of worry.”“Buying Greenland, tariffs on all imports, and re-nationalism – Trump's policies evoke the chaotic politics of a century ago.”On Biden's Presidency:“Biden was a stop-Trump president, and Trump is returning. By that definition alone, Biden's presidency is a monumental failure.”“A tawdry end to Biden's legacy: pardoning his son cuts through the nobility of public service.” Hosted on Acast.

Tidligere førsteminister og leder for Det skotske nasjonal partiet (SNP) gjennom flere år Alex Salmond gikk bort 12. september. Salmond har vært en formidabel skikkelse i skotsk og britisk politikk i flere tiår, og er mest kjent for å ha fått til folkeavstemningen om skotsk uavhengighet i 2014. Selv om hans ettermæle er omstridt, var han en politisk bauta som levde for politikken, særlig den skotske og for fanesaken - skotsk løsrivelse fra den britiske unionen.Denne ukas Pod Britannia er viet Salmonds politiske arv hvor Trine Andersen, Øivind Bratberg og Erik Mustad diskuterer skotsk uavhengighet, Salmonds politiske betydning og hans triste sorti fra partiet han bygde opp.

Episode 244 of Talk Media discusses the media coverage following the sudden death of Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond, who in 2014, took our country within touching distance of Independence. Eamonn, joined by Catriona Stewart and David Pratt, have a frank discussion on the media coverage , a look at the horrors taking place in the Middle East and the frankly strange news of Labour pushing weight loss drugs in an attempt to cut back the welfare bill. Recommendations: Eamonn The War Room- doc - Amazon Prime This documentary follows President Clinton's campaign trail and focuses on his aides, James Carville and George Stephanopoulos. Catriona Break Up - : How Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon Went to War - Book Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon's political partnership changed the face of Scotland, bringing the country to within 200,000 votes of independence and holding sway at Holyrood for more than a decade. So how and why has their thirty-year alliance irretrievably broken down? Break-Up tells the inside story of how the once unbreakable unity of the Scottish National Party was ripped apart amid shocking claims of sexual assault. With unrivalled access to both camps and the women who made the allegations, and with rigorously fair-minded reporting, journalists David Clegg and Kieran Andrews go behind the headlines to uncover the truth about this extraordinary episode, in a piece of political history that reads like a thriller. Now fully updated, this is a jaw-dropping tale of inappropriate behaviour in the highest reaches of power, of lies, distrust and alleged conspiracy, with profound implications not only for Salmond and Sturgeon themselves but for Scotland's governing party and the wider independence campaign. David Wild Thing - book Paul Gauguin is chiefly known as the giant of post-Impressionist painting whose bold colours and compositions rocked the Western art world. It is less well known that he was a stockbroker in Paris and that after the 1882 financial crash he struggled to sustain his artistry, and worked as a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen, a canal digger in Panama City, and a journalist exposing the injustices of French colonial rule in Tahiti. In Wild Thing, the award-winning biographer Sue Prideaux re-examines the adventurous and complicated life of the artist. She illuminates the people, places and ideas that shaped his vision: his privileged upbringing in Peru and rebellious youth in France; the galvanising energy of the Paris art scene; meeting Mette, the woman who he would marry; formative encounters with Vincent van Gogh and August Strindberg; and the ceaseless draw of French Polynesia. Prideaux conjures Gauguin's visual exuberance, his creative epiphanies, his fierce words and his flaws with acuity and sensitivity. Drawing from a wealth of new material and access to the artist's family, this myth-busting work invites us to see Gauguin anew.

In late April 2024, Wellington School of Business and Government was honoured to host Distinguished Professor Dame Anne Salmond to deliver the Sir Frank Holmes Memorial Lecture in Policy Studies. Examining how Te Tiriti o Waitangi and democracy can work together and drawing on global studies of cross-cultural relations in nation states, Dame Anne, Professor of Māori Studies and Anthropology, and a former Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Equal Opportunity) at the University of Auckland, drew on her own research, and that of her peers. She took the audience through a timeline that moved from the democracy that existed before the signing of Te Tiriti through the land wars, the right for all in New Zealand to vote, and to the current day questions around what a fair, wise, and just government might look like: one that has the best interests of all New Zealanders at heart and in mind, and ignores the trap of “Pernicious Polarisation.” Over 150 people sat with every word Dame Anne offered, many questions were answered, with many more arising as a result of the thought-provoking, empathic, and all-encompassing public lecture.

Alex Salmond was First Minister of Scotland between 2007 and 2014, during which time he led the unsuccessful referendum campaign for Scottish independence. Salmond was a ruthless political operator, who was difficult to pin down on the political spectrum. This made him the perfect candidate to spearhead the independence campaign, as he meant different things to different voters. This ambiguity can make it difficult for non-Scots, like me, to get to grips with the drive for independence.The guest I have chosen to discuss Salmond is Murray Pittock. Murray is a Scottish historian, and a professor of literature at the University of Glasgow. He is also the author of a large selection of works on Scottish history, including 2022's Scotland: The Global History: 1603 to the Present. As well as Salmond, we discuss the ideological variety inside the independence movement, Scotland's relationship to North Sea Oil, Scotland's experience with Blairism and New Labour, and the state of the SNP in 2024.

Sticking with sport, you have to go back almost 11 months to find the last time the Warriors had an NRL win in Australia.

The New Statesman's Scotland editor Chris Deerin has been reporting on the SNP since 1996, when as a young political correspondent he sparred with its then leader Alex Salmond. The party was then an outlier, with only three Scottish MPs to Labour's 49. Just over ten years later, in 2007, Salmond became first minister and appointed a shy, ambitious protégé as his deputy: Nicola Sturgeon. In this definitive account, Deerin traces Sturgeon's political journey – to the top of her party, through the 2014 independence referendum, a bitter fallout with Salmond, and ultimately her resignation. Was her commitment to new gender recognition legislation, and to a second independence referendum, a miscalculation? How will she be remembered in Edinburgh, Westminster and beyond? Written and read by Chris Deerin. This article was originally published as the New Statesman's 24 February 2023 magazine cover story. You can read the text version here.

La ministra principal de Escocia, Nicola Sturgeon, dimitió la semana pasada arguyendo que carecía ya de autoridad sobre su partido, el SNP, y sobre el propio Gobierno que preside. Sturgeon lleva en el poder ocho años y medio, desde noviembre de 2014, poco después de que se celebrase el referéndum de independencia de Escocia que le costó el puesto a su predecesor Alex Salmond. Los escoceses votaron en contra de la independencia y eso dejó tocado al SNP y, especialmente, a su líder, que había empleado todo su capital político en aquella consulta. Sturgeon, que era la vicepresidenta de Salmond, tomó el relevo y desde entonces no ha conseguido reenfocar la misión del partido. Todos sabían que su Gobierno tenía problemas y que los independentistas escoceses se encuentran en el fondo de un callejón, pero nadie esperaba que Sturgeon fuese a dimitir. Durante sus años al frente del SNP encadenó varias victorias electorales, tanto en las elecciones regionales como en las nacionales y se convirtió en una de las principales voces críticas del Gobierno conservador. Pero la promesa que había hecho al partido era conseguir la repetición del referéndum de 2014 ya que tras el Brexit las condiciones habían cambiado de forma sustantiva. Ahí fue donde Sturgeon se atascó. No consiguió convencer a los que habían votado por permanecer dentro del Reino Unido. Trató de forzar un nuevo referéndum, pero el Tribunal Supremo supeditó hace unos meses la celebración de una nueva consulta a que la autorizase expresamente el parlamento de Westminster. Esto obligó a Sturgeon a aplazar este asunto sine die y a insinuar que si no lo hacen por las buenas lo harán por las malas, algo que no sentó demasiado bien entre una mayoría de escoceses. Alex Salmond, que abandonó hace años el SNP, criticó entonces a Sturgeon asegurando que carecía de una hoja de ruta hacia la independencia y que se estaba conformando con ser una simple presidenta regional como el de Gales o el de Irlanda del Norte. La gota que colmó el vaso llegó en las últimas semanas con una formidable polémica que estalló a cuento de una ambiciosa ley sobre los derechos de las personas transgénero que fue paralizada en Londres, y que ocasionó un encendido debate en todo el país. Tras aquello y ya muy mermada de apoyos internos no le quedó más remedio que hacerse a un lado. Pero quizá lo haya hecho de forma un tanto precipitada porque no tiene sucesor. Esa es la razón por la que seguirá en el Gobierno regional hasta que su partido lo encuentre. El hecho es que el balance de Sturgeon ha sido muy positivo para el SNP. Ha ganado con autoridad las dos elecciones escocesas a las que se ha presentado y en las elecciones nacionales su partido se ha hecho con casi todas las circunscripciones de la región. El número de afiliados del SNP nunca había sido tan alto como durante estos años y fue la política británica más aplaudida en la pandemia. Pero de nada le ha servido. A sus espaldas deja el caos. El SNP sigue el primero en las encuestas de intención de voto, pero no hay un liderazgo claro ni una estrategia bien definida para conseguir en el corto medio plazo el objetivo final del partido, que no es otro que la independencia de Escocia mediante un referéndum y su posterior incorporación a la Unión Europea. La elección de su sucesor la han dejado para finales de marzo, entretanto seguirá al mando. En el resto del país las cosas no están mejor. Rishi Sunak sobrevive a duras penas en Downing Street y todos en mayor o menor medida miran ya a las elecciones del año próximo para que se aclare el panorama.

La semana pasada Nicola Sturgeon, primera ministra de Escocia, anunció la celebración de un referéndum de independencia para el 19 de octubre de 2023, es decir, nueve años después de que se celebrase el último, que se saldó con una sonora derrota para los independentistas. Desde entonces han cambiado unas cuantas cosas en Escocia. En 2014 el Reino Unido formaba parte de la Unión Europea, el primer ministro era David Cameron y en Escocia mandaba Alex Salmond. Nada de eso tenemos hoy. El Reino Unido lleva ya año y medio fuera de la UE, de David Cameron apenas se acuerda nadie y Salmond cayó en desgracia tras el referéndum de independencia y su lugar lo ocupó Nicola Sturgeon. En 2014 el referéndum se pactó con el Gobierno británico y, por lo tanto, era legal y vinculante. Un 55% de los escoceses votaron en contra de la independencia ya que traía de la mano algunas desventajas como la salida inmediata de la Unión Europea. Los unionistas, de hecho, emplearon mucho este argumento a su favor. Menos de dos años después los escoceses tuvieron que volver a las urnas, pero esta vez para salir de la Unión Europea, cosa a la que se negaron por amplia mayoría. Desde entonces, Sturgeon, primera ministra escocesa desde hace ocho años, está comprometida a repetir el referéndum de 2014 ya que las circunstancias han cambiado sustancialmente. Sturgeon quiso primero celebrar el referéndum en 2018, luego en 2021, pero ni Theresa May ni Boris Johnson quisieron hablar del tema. Mientras en Londres no se acepte la propuesta escocesa no habrá nada que hacer, al menos nada vinculante. A falta de una constitución, la unión de Escocia con el resto del país se sostiene sobre la denominada Scotland Act de 1998. Esta ley estipula que la unión de Inglaterra y Escocia de 1707 es un asunto reservado únicamente al parlamento de Westminster. Con esta ley no se puede celebrar ningún referéndum sin su consentimiento expreso. Sturgeon tendrá, por lo tanto, que pasar por encima de la Scotland Act si quiere satisfacer a las bases de su partido, que presionan desde hace años para que se vuelva a celebrar el referéndum. Sturgeon se ha resistido hasta ahora porque conoce la ley, la misma ley que la legitima como primera ministra de Escocia, y es consciente de que ese referéndum no tendría validez legal alguna y que, en caso de perderlo, le supondría a título personal un gran coste político. Para sortear la cuestión su Gobierno solicitó un dictamen al Tribunal Supremo para que determinase si el referéndum está dentro de las competencias del parlamento escocés. El Tribunal observó que la Scotland Act no deja lugar a muchas interpretaciones y señaló la primacía de Westminster. Sturgeon ha decidido entonces atajar y convocar un referéndum meramente consultivo aprovechando la crisis de credibilidad que atraviesa Boris Johnson. La apuesta podría salirle carísima, pero no le queda otra opción si quiere seguir siendo la líder indiscutible del nacionalismo escocés.

Deilur um útflutning bóluefna frá ríkjum Evrópusambandsins hafa valdið titringi í sambúð ESB-ríkja við granna sína, einkum Breta. Þórunn Elísabet Bogadóttir og Bogi Ágústsson ræddu þá flóknu stöðu sem upp er kominn eftir að framkvæmdastjórn ESB lagði til verulegar takmarkanir á útflutningi bóluefna. Upphaflega voru Ísland og Noregur á lista þeirra landa sem ekki fengju bóluefni en forystumenn sambandsins hafa fullvissað íslenska ráðamenn um að ákvörðun ESB hafi ekki áhrif á samninga um afhendingu bóluefna til Íslands. Nicola Sturgeon, fyrsti ráðherra Skotlands og leiðtogi Skoska þjóðarflokksins SNP, stóð af sér vantrauststillögu sem Íhaldsflokkurinn lagði fram vegna þess að flokkurinn telur Sturgeon ekki hafa skýrt þinginu rétt frá varðandi rannsókn á málefnum Alex Salmond, fyrrverandi leiðtoga SNP. Salmond hefur verið sakaður um kynferðislegt ofbeldi. Þó að þingið hafi lýst trausti á Sturgeon er ljóst að málið hefur skaðað hana og flokkinn aðeins rúmum mánuði fyrir kosningar til skoska þingsins. Erdogan forseti Tyrklands stendur í ströngu. Hann hefur rekið þriðja seðlabankastjórann á innan við tveimur árum vegna þess að hann var ósáttur við vaxtahækkun sem Erdogan segir kynda undir verðbólgu sem er alvarlegt vandamál í tyrknesku efnahagslífi. Þá eru víðtæk mótmæli í landinu vegna ákvörðuna forsetans um að segja Tyrkland frá Istanbúl-sáttmálanum, fyrsta bindandi alþjóðasáttmálanum sem gerður hefur verið með það að markmiði að draga úr kynbundnu ofbeldi. Tyrkneskar konur sem mótmæltu og stjórnarandstaðan segja að með því að segja Tyrkland frá sáttmálanum séu stjórnvöld í raun að senda ofbeldismönnum skilaboð um að heimilisofbeldi, nauðganir og jafnvel dráp á konum verði látin sitja á hakanum í réttarkerfinu.

Íhaldsflokkurinn í Skotlandi hefur lagt fram vantrauststillögu á Nicolu Sturgeon, fyrsta ráðherra Skotlands og leiðtoga Skoska þjóðarflokksins, SNP, vegna meintra ósanninda hennar um meðferð kærumála kvenna á Alex Salmond, fyrrverandi leiðtoga SNP. Sturgeon bar vitni fyrir þingnefnd í allan gærdag. Fréttaskýrendur telja hana hafa staðið af sér atlögu Íhaldsmanna sem þó segja spurningum ósvarað og ætla að halda vantrauststillögunni til streitu. Nicola Sturgeon og Alex Salmond voru nánir vinir og samstarfsmenn uns Salmond var ákærður fyrir kynferðislega áreitni árið 2018 en sú vinátta er fyrir bí og Salmond segir nú að Skoski þjóðarflokkurinn, undir forystu Sturgeon, standi að baki ofsóknum gegn sér. Björn Þór Sigbjörnsson og Þórunn Elísabet Bogadóttir ræddu skosk stjórnmál við Boga Ágústsson í Heimsglugga vikunnar og einnig ferð Mette Frederiksen, forsætisráðherra Danmerkur, til Ísraels í dag, ásamt Sebastian Kurz, kanslara Austurríkis,. Þar leita þau samstarfs við Ísraelsmenn í bólusetningum. Hærra hlutfall Ísraelsmanna hefur verið bólusett en gengur og gerist í öðrum löndum vegna samnings sem ríkisstjórn landsins gerði við Pfizer um bólusetningar í landinu. Nú vill Frederiksen vita hvort Danir geti fengið bóluefni hjá Ísraelsmönnum gangi eitthvað af. Hún er gagnrýnd af fólki á vinstri kanti stjórnmálanna heima fyrir sem segir að Palestínumenn eigi að fá bóluefnið. Mai Villadsen, nýr leiðtogi Einingarlistans, segist hafa áhyggjur af samstarfi við ísraelsku stjórnina sem klárlega brjóti alþjóðarétt með því að bólusetja ekki íbúa hersetnu svæðanna.

The prospect of independence for Scotland may never have been brighter for the SNP. Elections to Holyrood are due in May and the party has promised to seek a new referendum on independence if it gains a majority. Yet, at the same time, a prominent SNP MP concluded this week that the “turmoil” within her party was “unprecedented”. Others have talked about the “fight to the death” that's currently being waged between supporters of the leader, Nicola Sturgeon and supporters of her predecessor, Alex Salmond. The feud has its roots in a government investigation of Mr Salmond in 2018 that led to him being charged with a number of sexual offences. A jury cleared Mr Salmond on all counts in a trial last year. So what's going on in the SNP? How can it be so apparently popular while being so deeply divided? And how might this affect its chances of realising its ambition of an independent Scotland?With BBC Scotland editor, Sarah Smith,; journalist Dani Garavelli; and Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University, Sir John Curtice.Producers: Tim Mansel, Sally Abrahams, Kirsteen Knight Editor: Jasper Corbett
