'Something massive is happening.' The words of the Green Party's new MP Hannah Spencer after her decisive win in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Is she right? Labour came a distant third and neither the Conservatives nor the Liberal Democrats managed to get even two percent of the vote. Arguably none of that was unexpected. But Reform UK, up until now seen as the populist insurgents ready to replace the mainstream parties, fell short by over 4000 votes. Not nearly the knife-edge result predicted. So is Nigel Farage in danger of running out of steam after diluting his party with Tory defectors? Could the Greens offer white working class voters a left alternative to kick the establishment? And is Labour going to have to move left, whether to take on the Green threat or their unhappy backbenchers?On this episode of the Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Zack Polanski after his win, and is joined by the ex-Tory now Reform commentator Tim Montgomerie, Sam White, who is a former Chief of Staff to Keir Starmer, and Natalie Bennett, one of two Greens peers in the House of Lords.

He and Alasdair discuss historical examples of societal collapse influenced by climatic conditions, the effects of the “Little Ice Age” on droughts and harvests, and how the Global North might be less resilient than many realise. Dr. Dagomar Degroot is Associate Professor of Environmental History at Georgetown University, an expert on climate change, space exploration and existential risk. His forthcoming book, “Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean: How the Solar System Shapes Human History – and May Help Save Our Planet,” will be published by Penguin in February.

How did the company behind the revolutionary BlackBerry smartphone lose its grip on the handset market?The BBC Business journalist, Sean Farrington, investigates with special guest, Sir Stephen Fry, who has remained 'faithful' to the BlackBerry brand. Alongside them is the entrepreneur, Sam White, who at the end of the show has to reach her own conclusions on why BlackBerry handsets disappeared, based only on what she has just heard and her own business acumen. The first BlackBerry device freed business executives from their desks, allowing them to easily write, send and receive emails from almost anywhere. But that was not the only thing that made the BlackBerry, and its later iterations, extraordinary. The actor, comedian, author and broadcaster, Sir Stephen Fry, also used to be a tech blogger and wrote in glowing terms about BlackBerry devices...until they took a turn for the worse. Stephen explains why he was disappointed by a brand he loves and how he still hopes it might make a return. Jim Balsillie was a co-chief executive officer at Research in Motion, the company that created BlackBerry, and offers his insight into how it quickly became a $20billion business and why he felt compelled to resign from such a tremendously successful venture. The entrepreneur and tech blogger, Kevin Michaluk, witnessed how BlackBerry handsets soared and then sank. He's made a successful career out of building "spiritual successors" to them but can his attempts to bring them back under the original brand prove successful? The podcast version of this episode, available on BBC Sounds, includes a bonus interview at the end with Sir Stephen Fry on how he feels about technology and social media today.Produced by Jon Douglas / BBC Audio North

In 2007 Sam White, co-founder of Promethean Power Systems, was traveling through India looking for a rural electrification problem to solve. He and his team had just won a $10,000 grant in an MIT competition, and they wanted to find an industry in India that needed their help. After looking at the sugar industry and the grape industry, they finally settled on dairy.   India is the largest producer and consumer of milk in the world, but poor infrastructure makes getting chilled milk from farmer to consumer difficult.  Industry standards require milk to be chilled within four hours of milking the cows, or bacteria spoils it. India averages six hours. Sam's team had found their problem. But it would take years of failed designs to solve it. In the end they perfected a 500 liter tank that could chill a thousand liters of milk – a 300% increase in efficiency from previous designs. Today, Promethean had installed 2800 of those tanks across India.  In this episode, Lara Pierpoint talks with Sam about the evolution of Promethean's thermal battery design, the upsides of slow but steady growth in climate tech, and how Promethean dealt with technology copycats in India.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Sam White , CEO of Stella Insurance. Sam is not just a leader in the insurance industry; she's a trailblazer, entrepreneur, and advocate for creating a fairer, more inclusive world. In today's conversation, we'll dive into Sam's incredible journey as an entrepreneur, her vision for Stella Insurance, and how she's challenging the status quo in a traditionally male-dominated industry. We'll also explore her thoughts on leadership, innovation, and the future of insurance. KEY TAKEAWAYS We didn't realise, when we set Stella up, just how revolutionary it was because we had an entirely female management team all in our 20s and 30s, very spirited and high energy, going out and doing business in a very male-dominated marketplace. There are gender differences and I think we come at things with a different perspective, women do business differently, approach things differently, and have different needs and risks that they're exposed to. What I love about the concept of insurance is the idea that a group of people come together and put money in the pot so that if one of them is vulnerable they can be supported. That community ideology is very appealing. When you look through the lens of women, you see a set of circumstances where my general experience when it works well with a large group of women that are all aligned on the same goal and support each other is magic. In terms of building good relationships, the principles apply. Firstly, you can't build a good relationship with somebody who hasn't got a good relationship with themselves and isn't prepared to accept, acknowledge or work on that. My first business was launched from my sister's conservatory where I picked up the phone to brokers and asked if they'd let me handle their claims. The benefit of that is that you don't need to get funding and you can do it your own way, you're learning on the job and experiencing direct feedback. The downside is that the foundations you're building on may not be ideal. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid and I think that creates a different type of mindset in terms of problem solving as well as resilience.' ‘I like complicated problems, and insurance is one hell of a complicated problem!' ‘Imposter syndrome is much higher in women than men, they second guess themselves continually. Most women are educated to not back themselves from the age of 7-8 and societally we also questions women far more than men.' ‘The irony is; the process of the ‘do' is the thing that gives you the confidence to keep on doing the doing. But, you have to do the first thing and make it through your first really big challenge.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Sam White is a dynamic and visionary entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in building and scaling successful businesses. As the CEO of Stella Insurance, Sam is a trailblazer in the insurance industry, known for her innovative approach and commitment to creating meaningful change. Under her leadership, Stella Insurance has become a trusted and award-winning brand, recognized for its customer-centric ethos and dedication to empowering women in a traditionally male-dominated sector. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.

Homebase was once one of our leading home improvement chains so, why did it have to close all of its stores?The BBC Business journalist Sean Farrington investigates.Alongside him is the entrepreneur Sam White, who at the end of the show has to reach her own conclusions, based only on what she has heard and her own business acumen.Homebase was established by the supermarket chain Sainsbury's and a Belgian retailer which was already running a DIY business in Europe and America.

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee previews the Baton Rouge super regional of LSU and West Virginia. LSU's four-man pitching tandem of Kade Anderson, Anthony Eyanson, Casan Evans and Zac Cowan may be the country's best when it comes to covering lots of innings in an elite manner. But can LSU's other talented arms, like Chase Shores, Jaden Noot, William Schmidt, Mavrick Rizy, Cooper Williams, Jacob Mayers and DJ Primeaux step up if called upon for coach Jay Johnson? Consistency has been an issue with LSU's offense. But Ethan Frey has gotten red-hot in the postseason, while Jared Jones, Derek Curiel, Stephen Milam, Daniel Dickenson and regional Game 4 hero Luis Hernandez are also tough outs. The Mountaineers went undefeated in the Clemson regional after knocking off Kentucky in the title game. The pitching is keyed by starters Griffin Kern (who also closed the title game) and Jack Kartsonas, plus, rubber-armed Reese Bassinger. WVU's offense is led by Kyle West, who had an amazing season (.347/.500/.607) at the plate. The bottom of the Mountaineers' balanced order hit well in Clemson, and five players with double-digit steals and Skyler King (.424) and Sam White (.421) also being on-base threats.
