A major new report into Britain's grooming gang scandal is reigniting questions about accountability, institutional failure and whether the authorities charged with protecting vulnerable children looked the other way for far too long. Allegations that serious offences were frequently met with cautions rather than prosecution, alongside renewed scrutiny of decisions made while Keir Starmer led the CPS, are fueling a wider debate about justice, media silence and why so many people feel the truth was ignored for years. Against that backdrop, Starmer's proposed social media ban for under-16s is raising a separate but related question: if protecting children is now the government's highest priority, why do so many people believe previous failures to protect children have never been properly addressed? Together, these stories touch on trust, accountability, censorship, child protection and the growing disconnect between public institutions and the people they are supposed to serve.

Most people know that BJJ descended from Kodokan Judo which came from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu systems. But the Kodokan was initially quite weak at the groundfighting aspect of grappling, and it wasn't until it brushed up against other systems specialising in ne-waza or groundwork that it became a well-rounded art.  In this episode we are joined by Martial Arts historian (and BJJ practitioner) Oz Austwick who has researched this cross-pollination extensively. Oz's research focussed on Sadakazu Uyenishi who was among the first to bring jiu-jitsu to Britain, where he performed under the name "Raku". Uyenishi fought all comers, including much larger wrestlers, and toured with Mitsuyo Maeda from the Kodokan BEFORE moving to Brazil and triggering the creation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  Oz argues that Uyenishi was almost certainly a huge hidden influence in the creation of BJJ. Check out the limited edition "Raku" gi honoring this extraordinary jiu-jitsu fighter!  More info here: https://rikuzame.com/products/the-raku-limited-edition Cheers! Stephan Kesting

//The Wire//2300Z June 16, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: ALLEGED TERRORISM PLOT FOILED AT WHITE HOUSE UFC EVENT. MASS 911 CALL CENTER OUTAGE REPORTED LAST NIGHT. B-52 CRASHES IN CALIFORNIA. RUSSIAN WARSHIP FIRES WARNING SHOTS NEAR YACHT IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-English Channel: This morning a Russian warship engaged a private yacht 20 miles off the coast of the Isle of Wight. The Krivak V-Class Frigate (FFG) Admiral Grigorovich fired warning shots in the general vicinity of privately owned yacht, which did allegedly not heed audible warnings to steer clear, and was approaching their position outside Britain's territorial waters. No damage or casualties were reported during the incident, and two Royal Navy vessels were also on station, shadowing the Grigorovich during the incident.Analyst Comment: The proverbial business appears to be getting out of control on the high seas, and this is the latest escalation to occur in the region over the past few days. Two days ago, the Royal Navy boarded and seized the Russian dark-fleet tanker (the M/T SMYRTOS) in the Channel, continuing the recent trend of NATO members capturing ships smuggling oil from Russia, to the global grey-market. As a result, this little spat could be more along the lines of diplomacy by warning shot.Middle East: As the peace settlement continues to move toward a signing on Friday, the Iranians and Americans are continuing to enforce the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Overnight, at least one vessel was reportedly fired upon by the Iranians for attempting to transit the Strait without prior coordination, however this has not been confirmed by the UKMTO yet.-HomeFront-USA: Yesterday evening mass waves of 911 call center outages were reported. Disruptions to emergency services were noted in Iowa, Arizona, Texas, and Washington due to the outage, and no further details have been provided on the cause of the incident.California: A crash of a B-52 Stratofortress was reported at Edwards Air Force Base during a routine training mission testing a new radar system. The crash reportedly took place immediately after takeoff, and the circumstances of the incident have not yet been disclosed. All 8x members of the crew were killed in the crash.Washington D.C. - Following Sunday's UFC event on the White House lawn, the FBI has released the details of an alleged terror attack targeting the venue. So far, five suspects have been arrested by federal authorities for attempting to carry out a complex coordinated attack at the event. Per the FBI, the attack was alleged to have utilized sniper teams, explosive drones, and a breach of the perimeter fence.Analyst Comment: Right now, very few details have been provided on what would have been one of the most substantial terrorist attacks in recent memory. This would also be one of the very few terror attacks that was foiled ahead of time, and many questions remain regarding the circumstances of this whole affair.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Contradictions also continue regarding the status of the peace deal in the Middle East. Yesterday, President Trump took to social media to explicitly state that the $300 million (sic) payment to Iran that is part of the leaked deal terms, is fake news. However, this morning Vice President Vance flat-out confirmed that the Iranians will have access to a $300 Billion fund, which will be made available to Iran as part of their cooperation in the agreement. As a result of these contradictions, the contents of the peace deal remain up in the air, even though the document has already been digitally signed by all parties, pending the wet signature ceremony on Friday. Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

On the afternoon of August 11, 2019, customers at a popular pub in Widnes watched as landlord Christian Thornton confronted a man he had recently barred from the premises. For Chris, it was part of the job. As the long-serving landlord of the Hammer and Pincers, he had spent years looking after customers, serving pints, organising charity events, and helping make his pub a cornerstone of the local community. But what began as a routine confrontation would end in a shocking act of violence that devastated his family and sent shockwaves through Cheshire and beyond.Known affectionately as "Tigger", Chris was a devoted husband to Pam, a father of three young children, and one of the most recognisable faces in Widnes. Friends described him as kind, funny and always willing to help others. Whether he was supporting local musicians, raising money for charity, serving a cold beer to regulars or cheering on his children's sporting achievements, Chris was a man who put people first. His murder left not only a grieving family, but an entire town struggling to come to terms with the loss of a man who meant so much to so many.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Christian Thornton, the events that led to his fatal confrontation with Lee Abbott, and the investigation that followed. We explore the background tensions between the two men, the warnings and threats made in the days before the attack, the police investigation, Abbott's arrest, trial and conviction for murder, and the remarkable community response that saw hundreds rally around Chris's family. We also look at the wider concerns surrounding knife crime, pub safety, and violence in Britain's towns and cities. This is the story of a respected pub landlord, a senseless act of violence, and a community determined that Christian "Tigger" Thornton would never be forgotten.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

HS2 was conceived at a cost of £37.5 billion and originally supposed to link London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. It will now connect only two stations outside London and Birmingham at a projected cost of more than £100 billion, and perhaps won't even be ‘high speed'. To discuss what this failure tells us about Britain's capacity to build things and the consequences for our everyday lives, James is joined by Gillian Plimmer, the FT's infrastructure correspondent, and Matthew Lawrence, director of Common Wealth. They discuss the unique features of the UK's ‘outsourcing state', beset by bloated projects weighed down by the increasing costs of private capital, and the long, corrosive impact of the failure of David Cameron's government to invest in infrastructure when borrowing was cheap.

A memoir titled Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, written by Virginia Roberts Giuffre with journalist Amy Wallace, is scheduled for posthumous release on October 21, 2025, from Alfred A. Knopf (with Penguin Random House involved in audio and ebook editions). The 400‑page manuscript was completed prior to Giuffre's death by suicide in April 2025, and she had conveyed—via an email to Wallace dated April 1—that it was her “heartfelt wish” for the book to be published regardless of the outcome. Publishers describe the memoir as an unsparing and powerful narrative of trafficking, abuse, and survival, rigorously fact-checked and legally vetted, aimed at spotlighting systemic failures in human trafficking enforcement and championing justice and awareness.Of particular note, Nobody's Girl includes “intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details” about Giuffre's experiences with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other high-profile individuals—including Britain's Prince Andrew. This marks her first public discussion of Andrew since their 2022 out-of-court settlement, which reportedly involved a multi-million‑dollar payment. In doing so, the memoir is expected to reignite scrutiny and media attention on the allegations Andrew has long denied, resurrecting his central role in a scandal many believed had faded from the headlines.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew struggling as Virginia Giuffre memoir set for release: expert | Fox News

Queen Elizabeth II is accused by unnamed royal sources of repeatedly shielding Prince Andrew and ignoring warnings about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The claims center partly on documents indicating that the Queen supported Andrew's appointment as Britain's special trade representative in 2000, a position that gave him extensive international access and placed him in contact with wealthy business figures. Critics now argue that the role may have provided Andrew with opportunities to pursue questionable dealings connected to Epstein, including unproven allegations that he benefited financially from business introductions. One unidentified insider goes much further, claiming that the Queen knew about Epstein, the girls and the trafficking but protected Andrew because he was her favorite son. Those allegations remain unverified, and Andrew has consistently denied criminal wrongdoing.The broader suggestion is that the Queen's loyalty to Andrew may have overridden concerns within the royal family and government about his judgment and conduct. King Charles, then Prince of Wales, was reportedly skeptical of Andrew's suitability for the trade role, but the appointment moved forward with support from figures including Peter Mandelson. The claims have resurfaced as authorities examine whether Andrew improperly shared confidential trade information with Epstein, placing renewed pressure on the royal family to explain what palace officials knew and when they knew it. However, much of the account relies on anonymous sources, recycled tabloid allegations and unrelated conspiracy theories, meaning the central accusation—that Elizabeth knowingly covered up Andrew's Epstein connections—has not been established by official findings or tested in court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Queen Elizabeth Blindly Covered Up Ex-Prince Andrew's Epstein Ties, Royal Insider Claims | IBTimes UK

Enoch Powell is one of the most polarising figures in modern British politics. His infamous ‘Rivers of Blood' speech – in which he warned that immigration would spark ethnic conflict – continues to shape some of today's most important debates on race, identity and immigration.Michael Gove and assistant editor Madeline Grant sit down with Simon Heffer, author of Like the Roman: The Life of Enoch Powell, to explore Powell's legacy. They examine how he became a model for populist rhetoric and discuss why understanding Enoch Powell is central to understanding the right today. This podcast was originally recorded as a live event.

Keir Starmer has announced his plans to ban social media for under 16s in Britain. The ban is due to come in early next year and include all main social media apps. Age-recognition and digital ID checks will be used to keep children away from social media. But when it comes to child safety, will it make a difference? And what are the unintended consequences of a ban?

Author and columnist Tomiwa Owolade joins Secrets of Statecraft to discuss his bestselling book This Is Not America and why Britain's conversation about race has become increasingly shaped by American ideas and assumptions. He argues that importing US concepts such as critical race theory, identity politics, and Black Lives Matter into a fundamentally different British historical and social context has distorted public debate, weakened social cohesion, and obscured the real sources of inequality. The conversation also covers cultural cringe, the future of wokeness, the rise of sectarian politics, anti-Semitism, social justice ideology, and the enduring power of American culture. It's a wide-ranging conversation about race, national identity, free inquiry, and whether Britain can rediscover a shared civic culture before its own culture wars become even more entrenched.

Two days' notice. One email. "Are you available on the 15th at 7:30am to talk to Liz Kendall about some work she's doing." That's how this started.What followed was a morning inside Downing Street watching Keir Starmer announce a ban on social media for every child under 16 in the country — backed by a consultation of 116,000 responses, where 83% of parents said the risks outweigh the benefits and 90% backed a minimum age of 16.In this episode: the announcement itself, the room reaction (the applause said more than the press release did), my exchange with Starmer on Big Tech, Trump, and whether this ban is about his legacy or his leadership week, and then the interview I actually went there for — sitting down with Technology Secretary Liz Kendall to ask about Roblox, parents who are already maxed out, and a question that doesn't get asked enough in rooms like that: what this means for racism online in our community.I'll tell you straight — one of those answers didn't go far enough for me, and I say so.Then we get into the FAQs doing the rounds in every parenting group: is this digital ID by the back door, what's happening with VPNs, why doesn't this cover Roblox, what about dumbphones, and what's the actual timeline.This isn't a press release read back to you. This is what it actually looked like from inside the room.Timestamps: 00:00 — How this access happened 03:10 — Inside Downing Street: the room, the access, the other journalists 07:40 — Starmer's announcement and the room's reaction 12:20 — Starmer takes questions: Big Tech, Trump, the G7, his leadership week 18:00 — Why this ban, not just regulation 22:15 — Liz Kendall: what success looks like 24:50 — Roblox, gaming platforms, and stranger contact 27:30 — Parents who are already stretched thin 30:00 — The question on race and racism online 33:00 — Marvyn's honest take on that answer 36:00 — FAQs: digital ID, VPNs, dumbphones, timeline 42:00 — Final thoughtsSubscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MarvynHarrison Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marvynharrisonpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marvyn_harrison LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/marvynharrisonWelcome to The Marvyn Harrison Podcast — a story-driven conversation exploring identity, fatherhood, masculinity, relationships, culture, politics, sport, and modern life.In each episode, Marvyn Harrison sits down with leading thinkers, creatives, athletes, policymakers, and cultural voices to unpack the defining moments that shaped them.

Can Britain still defend itself? It sounds like the sort of question once heard in gloomy pubs from men who owned atlases and distrusted decimalisation. Yet here we are, asking it seriously.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at Britain's armed forces, the shrinking Army, shortages of personnel, ageing equipment, thin ammunition stocks, delayed defence spending and the uncomfortable possibility that the United Kingdom has spent decades assuming somebody else would deal with the unpleasant bits.Britain still has nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, submarines, Typhoon jets, intelligence capabilities and capable servicemen and women. This is not a story about helplessness. It is, however, a story about whether a country can keep cutting, postponing and reorganising defence while still expecting the machinery to work when needed. Governments have become fond of strategic reviews. Soldiers, one suspects, would also quite like ammunition.Pete and Mark discuss whether the British Army is now too small, whether the Royal Navy has enough ships, how drone warfare has changed the battlefield, and why conflict is no longer confined to tanks crossing borders. Cyberattacks, sabotage, undersea cables, satellites, energy infrastructure and misinformation all belong to the defence of the realm now. The castle walls have become invisible, which makes neglecting them wonderfully easy.There is also the moral question. A nation cannot praise its armed forces on ceremonial occasions, send them into danger, and then house families badly, delay procurement and hope recruitment improves by magic.The episode takes its theme from Psalm 127: “Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” That verse does not excuse poor preparation. Quite the opposite. The watchman must still watch. The city must still be guarded. But national security cannot finally rest in weapons, budgets, speeches or polished men standing beside flags.Can Britain still defend itself? Probably. But “probably” is not usually the word one wants printed across a defence policy.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) US President Donald Trump keeps repeating that the Strait of Hormuz — through which one fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies normally flow — will reopen by Friday.But on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit, where Iran likely dominated Monday’s dinner conversation, it’s clear that his European allies don’t share his optimism. They disagree that trade can resume by week’s end, like Trump promised, and have practical questions about what exactly was agreed before they can commit to de-mining missions and patrols.2) The UK announced new sanctions on what it said was a Russian intelligence network that has been acquiring Western technology for its military to use in Ukraine, as well as a further clampdown on its shadow fleet and illicit finance programs. Britain’s Foreign Office said it was exposing a front company called LLC Neptune Co Ltd, which it said was controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, and was involved in covertly procuring Western technology for the country’s military.3) SpaceX shares surged in premarket trading, putting the stock on track to extend a rally following its blockbuster debut last week. The shares rose 11% in New York, poised to build on the more than 40% gain across SpaceX’s first two sessions as a public company. The gains have lifted the market value of the rocket and AI company founded by Elon Musk above $2.5 trillion as of Monday’s close, bringing it within striking distance of Amazon.com Inc.’s nearly $2.7 trillion valuation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fronts + Fault Lines, is a new podcast on Palestine Deep Dive developed by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), an organisation of Palestinian and Arab youth in diaspora struggling for the liberation of our land and people.Hosted by, Jeanine and Nihal, organisers with PYM in Britain - this new podcast series in collaboration with the Palestinian Youth Movement, offering sharp analysis on the Arab and Iranian region and what it means for us in Britain.In this episode they are joined by Hossam El-Hamalawy, journalist, scholar, and one of the organisers of the 2011 Egyptian uprising, whose new book Counterrevolution in Egypt: Sisi's New Republic, published by Verso this year, is a comprehensive account of how Egypt's military, police and intelligence services forged an unprecedented alliance against the Egyptian people's revolutionary aspirations, and built the system that governs Egypt today.They discuss what Egypt lost in 1967 and what was foreclosed at Camp David; how the 2011 revolution and the 2013 coup connect to that longer history; how Egypt's accommodation with Israel set the parameters for the entire region's relationship to Palestinian liberation; and where there are still possibilities for positive change.Music by: oxhyoxhy.xyzSupport us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

In October 2022, the British economy was in freefall. Liz Truss's mini-budget had sent the pound into a nosedive, mortgage rates were climbing at a terrifying speed, and the IMF had issued a public warning to the government to reverse course. It was, by any measure, a national crisis.Into that emergency stepped Sir Jeremy Hunt who, over a single weekend, dismantled almost the entirety of the economic programme he'd inherited.But that was just the latest chapter in a political career defined again and again by an extraordinary capacity to absorb difficulty and get on with the job. All while managing a private grief that would have broken most people in any role, let alone one of the most demanding in the country. The loss of his father, mother, and brother, all lost to cancer.His new book, Can We Be Rich Again? The Surprising Potential of Britain's Economy, is an act of deliberate optimism in a country that has largely forgotten how to be optimistic. Sir Jeremy Hunt joins Andy Coulson for a conversation about loss, resilience, reputation, and what it really takes to keep your nerve when everything is falling apart.POWERED BY KINGSLEY NAPLEYI know what it is to have the right legal support around you when facing a crisis.

H.W. Brands describes how, in early 1941, Roosevelt introduced the Lend-Lease Act (HR 1776), a bill that ironically shared its name with the year of American independence but intended to "marry America's future to Britain's future." Because Britain was running out of cash, Roosevelt argued that the U.S. should lend or lease weaponry to ensure they didn't go down for lack of funds. He was aided by a sentimental shift in American public opinion, driven by Edward R. Murrow's broadcasts which portrayed the "stubborn British" as heroic underdogs fighting for democracy. Simultaneously, a covert information war was being waged by William Stephenson, the director of British propaganda in America, who worked with William "Wild Bill" Donovan to manipulate U.S. opinion with the administration's blessing. While Roosevelt publicly complained about German propaganda, his own administration used unacknowledged stories and rumors to move Americans toward war. Lindbergh called out this hypocrisy, arguing that aiding Churchill—an "unreconstructed" imperialist—was not a defense of democracy but a defense of British rule in places like India. Roosevelt even utilized a forged map, allegedly showing a German plan to reorganize Latin America and replace the Bible with Mein Kampf, to stir fear. Lindbergh's diary reveals his deep intuition that every step away from neutrality was a calculated move toward war, regardless of the president's stated desire for peace. (5)1941

H.W. Brands describes how in April 1939, Charles Lindbergh returned to the United States as a world-famous celebrity, greeted by "a football team of flashbulbs popping" as he disembarked a transatlantic steamer. Lindbergh had remained in the global spotlight since his historic 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic, a feat of technical proficiency and bravery comparable to the moon landing. His return was prompted by the imminent threat of war in Europe, a situation he had observed firsthand while living in England to escape the "paparazzi" following the tragic kidnapping and murder of his infant son. While Lindbergh admired German culture and technical organization, he was puzzled and dismayed by the rise of the Nazi party. He viewed the British as complacent, believing they were clinging to a 19th-century empire while imposing unrealistic peace terms on Germany that they refused to enforce. Lindbergh predicted that if war broke out, Britain would inevitably look to the United States for a "bailout," just as they had during World War I. Upon his arrival in Washington, he was beckoned to meet President Franklin Roosevelt, who sought to co-opt the celebrated aviator into the administration. Roosevelt recognized Lindbergh's deep knowledge of global military aircraft and his massive public following, fearing he would become a powerful voice for neutrality. However, Lindbergh, jealous of his independence and skeptical of Roosevelt's charm, declined the offer, refusing to be "inside the tent" where he could be controlled. (1)1930

H.W. Brands describes how, by the summer of 1939, the destruction of Poland by German and Soviet forces confirmed that war was imminent, prompting Roosevelt to invoke neutrality laws as required by Congress. Despite his desire for privacy, Lindbergh began using his celebrity status to secure national radio airtime, feeling a duty to prevent Americafrom repeating what he viewed as the "mistake" of the First World War. His father, a former congressman, had been driven out of politics for opposing American intervention in 1917, a legacy that instilled in Lindbergh a profound distrust of politics as a "mean business" where truth was rare. Lindbergh argued that Britain and France were launching a war they could not win and would eventually force the United States into a permanent presence in Europe. During this period, he consulted with figures like Herbert Hoover, who suggested forming a committee that would eventually become "America First," and visited the "House of Morgan" through his wife's family connections. British observers, such as Harold Nicolson, were less impressed, dismissing Lindbergh as a "schoolboy" who possessed technical talent but lacked a mature understanding of diplomacy and the complexities of governing a great empire. Lindbergh remained unfazed by British criticism, asserting that he was an American and that his country's interests were distinct from those of the British Empire. (2)1936

H.W. Brands explains how, following the massacre in Poland, Roosevelt sought to modify the Neutrality Acts—laws passed in the mid-1930s specifically to prevent the types of economic and travel entanglements that had drawn the U.S.into World War I. Roosevelt argued that providing weapons to Britain and France would allow them to defend themselves, thereby keeping American troops out of the conflict. Lindbergh and anti-interventionist Senators like Burton Wheeler and Robert Borah remained deeply skeptical, believing Roosevelt was being "transactional" and dishonest about his true intent to lead the U.S. into a new European order. Roosevelt countered by attacking his critics early, using the word "isolation" like a "plague" and characterizing their views as well-meaning but ignorant. While some suggested Lindbergh as a potential 1940 Republican presidential candidate, he refused to enter politics, preferring to challenge the president through the airwaves. Roosevelt carefully shaped public opinion, fearing the type of backlash Woodrow Wilson faced for getting too far ahead of the populace. When France fell in just six weeks to the German Blitzkrieg in 1940, Lindbergh felt vindicated, arguing that American troops would have merely been trapped on the beaches. Meanwhile, Winston Churchill manipulated Roosevelt with warnings that a falling British government might surrender its fleet to Germany, successfully pressuring the president to send American destroyers to Britain. (3)1927

In a monarchy obsessed with heirs, weddings, and “traditional values,” some of Britain's most powerful rulers were living far queerer lives than their portraits ever admitted. Behind the careful marriages and staged public affection, kings whispered with male favourites in locked chambers, queens poured their longing into letters for the women who never left their side, and courtiers learned to speak about desire in code or not at all. Their secrets shaped alliances, sparked scandals, and sometimes even helped topple governments, yet history kept sanding down the edges, pretending these loves were just “friendship” so the myth of a perfectly straight crown could survive.

The British army's regimental system is uniquely confusing. It's been the backbone of the British army for centuries. Some would argue it's the secret to our success. . . But what exactly is it? How did it begin? How has it changed over the centuries and is it still relevant and important for a 21st century military force? Stay tuned to the end to find out my thoughts on that.

In this episode, we explore the great naval mutinies of 1797. This was during the French Revolutionary Wars, when Britain was fighting France at sea and relying heavily on the Royal Navy to maintain its power, security, trade routes, and global empire. But on British shores at a time when invasion of England seemed highly likely, the fleets mutinied at the great anchorages of Spithead and the Nore. The mutinies represent two of the most serious manifestations of collective resistance in eighteenth century Britain. It's a story set against a backdrop of tension and shifting loyalties. This isn't just the story of rebellion; it's a study of what happens when order begins to fracture from within. It's about what happens when people are driven to the edge and the choices they make under intense stress, when resistance and survival are intrinsically linked, like a ship and its keel. To find out more, Dr Sam Willis spoke with Callum Easton. He is the author of the brilliant book, The 1797 Naval Mutinies and Popular Protest in Britain which won the 2025 Sir Julian Corbett Prize in Modern Naval History. Hosted on Acast.

Queen Elizabeth II is accused by unnamed royal sources of repeatedly shielding Prince Andrew and ignoring warnings about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The claims center partly on documents indicating that the Queen supported Andrew's appointment as Britain's special trade representative in 2000, a position that gave him extensive international access and placed him in contact with wealthy business figures. Critics now argue that the role may have provided Andrew with opportunities to pursue questionable dealings connected to Epstein, including unproven allegations that he benefited financially from business introductions. One unidentified insider goes much further, claiming that the Queen knew about Epstein, the girls and the trafficking but protected Andrew because he was her favorite son. Those allegations remain unverified, and Andrew has consistently denied criminal wrongdoing.The broader suggestion is that the Queen's loyalty to Andrew may have overridden concerns within the royal family and government about his judgment and conduct. King Charles, then Prince of Wales, was reportedly skeptical of Andrew's suitability for the trade role, but the appointment moved forward with support from figures including Peter Mandelson. The claims have resurfaced as authorities examine whether Andrew improperly shared confidential trade information with Epstein, placing renewed pressure on the royal family to explain what palace officials knew and when they knew it. However, much of the account relies on anonymous sources, recycled tabloid allegations and unrelated conspiracy theories, meaning the central accusation—that Elizabeth knowingly covered up Andrew's Epstein connections—has not been established by official findings or tested in court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Queen Elizabeth Blindly Covered Up Ex-Prince Andrew's Epstein Ties, Royal Insider Claims | IBTimes UKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What's Sherlock Holmes doing in New York's most Fenian pub?That's the intrigue at the heart of Terror From America: A Sherlock HolmesAdventure, the debut novel from journalist and historian Terry Golway, and thequestion Irish Stew podcast cohosts Martin Nutty and John Lee set out to answerbefore a packed, raucous house at Ernie O'Malley's on the first of June.A Staten Island native with a Ph.D. in U.S. history from Rutgers and two decadesof political reporting at the New York Observer, Golway has written more than adozen acclaimed works of nonfiction. But fiction, he tells us, unlocks somethingfacts alone cannot: "You can learn as much about history through a novel as youcan in a history book."His novel imagines Britain dispatching the world's greatest detective to infiltratethe Irish American revolutionary underground of 1885 New York, a missionrooted in a real and largely forgotten chapter of history. "The original crime isbased on something that actually happened," Golway explains. "Several IrishAmericans were going to try to blow up London Bridge…instead they blewthemselves up."Holmes's investigation pulls him into the orbit of real historical figures, nonemore compelling than John Devoy. In a dramatic reading brought brilliantly tolife by actor Mick Mellamphy, Devoy records in his diary what Charles Parnellhad told him when they met: "The American people are now the arbiters of theIrish question,” to which Devoy replied, "I almost had tears in my eyes when Iheard those words. That was exactly what we in New York wished to be, thearbiters of the Irish question."And what does Holmes make of the Fenians he encounters? After infiltrating NewYork's Irish revolutionary underground as an itinerant fiddler at Clan na Gaelgatherings, Sherlock observed, "The Fenians who inhabit the back rooms of NewYork's clubhouses and taverns bear little resemblance to the crude caricaturesportrayed in some less reputable newspapers. Formidable not because of theircapacity for mayhem, but because of the power they yield over the production ofmemories."Fiddler Eileen McLain provided the evening's musical accents while MickMellamphy served as producer. Past Irish Stew guests Peter Quinn, Larry Kirwan,and Maura Clare were in the house as were Black 47 co-founder Chris Byrne andIrish American Writers & Artists president Liza Engesser.LINKSTERRY GOLWAYWebsiteSubstack: ObserverLinkedInBook: Terror From AmericaAmazon: Terror From AmericaERNIE O'MALLEY'SWebsiteIRISH STEW LINKSWebsite Home PageFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 19; Total Episode Count: 160Send us Fan Mail

Billy Binion (reporter at Reason Magazine) joins host Ron Steslow to examine how democratic governments are redefining speech as a harm to be managed and who pays the price when they do. They begin with the White House's negotiation with Senator Marsha Blackburn, a deal that would trade federal preemption of state AI laws for the Kids Online Safety Act, the No Fakes Act, and federal age verification, and whether we are “one bad deal away from the era of online government censorship.” Next, Britain's thousands of arrests each year for online posts, its mandate that Apple and Google build content scanning into every device, and Signal's vow to exit the market before that happens. Then they turn to the killing of Henry Novak, whose dying words police discounted in deference to his killer's fabricated racism accusation. Finally, they unpack Minnesota's multibillion-dollar benefits fraud—JD Vance's referral of Tim Walz and Keith Ellison, why warnings went unheeded, and the citizen journalist who made the scandal impossible to ignore. In Politicology+, they discuss the bipartisan push to force UFO disclosure and the legal fight underneath it: whether the government should use eminent domain to seize allegedly recovered non-human technology from private contractors, and whether contractor employees who come forward deserve whistleblower protections.
