A Conversation with Boris Johnson at The Saudi Media Forum. Thank you to the Ministry of Media in Saudi Arabia for arranging this. Boris Johnson is a British politician, journalist, and author who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2019 to 2022. A member of the Conservative Party, he was previously the Mayor of London (2008–2016) and a Member of Parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (2015–2023). Known for his charismatic and sometimes controversial style, Johnson played a key role in the Brexit campaign and led the UK through its formal departure from the EU. His tenure as Prime Minister was marked by major events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, economic challenges, and the Partygate scandal, which contributed to his eventual resignation in 2022. 0:00 Intro1:09 Saudi Arabia's Rapid Development6:10 From Journalism to Politics10:00 Challenges in Modern Political Communication12:00 “Unleashed” and the Brexit Vision19:00 Vision 203021:00 Regional Geopolitics and Peace Efforts24:00 Media Relationship 26:44 Final Thoughts and Messages

What have Donald Trump, Suella Braverman, and 495 voters in Uxbridge and South Ruislip all got in common? That's right, they're all terrible. For our last episode of the year, we've decided to put together a list of our 12 villains of Christmas. And in the extra bit for subscribers only, it's the festive season – so what wholesome traditions does the panel have at Christmas? • “Nadine Dorries either genuinely has absolutely zero self-awareness, or she's taking the piss.” – Alex Andreou • “Boring, quiet, madly right-wing guys like Mike Johnson are actually far more dangerous than someone like Trump.” – Dorian Lynskey • “What the last year has taught me is that I would not trust Elon Musk to fly me to Mars.” – Rachel Cunliffe • “It's fair to say that Yevgeny Prigozhin was the winner of the F*** Around And Find Out prize this year.” – Matt Green We're on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Andreou, Rachel Cunliffe, and Matt Green.

In July, three By-Elections took place and all the results were interesting. Each of the major parties won one constituency each. The big attention was, of course, Uxbridge and South Ruislip, where the Conservatives just managed to hold onto the constituency by a mere 495 votes. Even though the party tried to play this off as a victory, it's very much a hollow one. The others however were a bit more straight forward. Labour took a seat from the Conservatives in Yorkshire and the Lib Dems did the same in the South West, with Ed Davey and his props making a comeback to celebrate the victory. What does this all mean for a general election? Join Julian and Chris this week for our political analysis.

There is fresh turmoil among London's Conservatives as the party launches a probe into its electoral operations in the capital.Voters will likely go to the polls both nationally and in London in 2024. Now the internal review, news of which was broken by LBC, comes just weeks after Susan Hall's selection as the Conservatives' London mayoral candidate.The investigation will focus on the “structures, processes, and organisation of the Conservative Party in London”, but senior Tories also want party chairman Greg Hands to ensure the inquiry covers the selection process to choose their London mayoral candidate.However, Richard Barnes, the former Conservative deputy mayor of London, told LBC that the probe risked “totally undermining her position”.It comes after the Conservatives' surprise by-election win, by 495 votes, last month in Boris Johnson's former constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.For the latest, The Leader podcast is joined by Evening Standard political editor Nicholas Cecil.

It's time for episode 56 of the road.cc Podcast. Last weekend, just in case you were doing your best to avoid the news, Rishi Sunak promised the UK's motorists that he was “on their side”, as the Prime Minister ordered a review of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in England. The review comes as the debate over green active travel policies continues to sharpen in the wake of the Conservative Party's win at the recent Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election (called following the departure of the famously active travel-friendly PM Boris Johnson), a narrow victory credited to the Tory opposition to Labour mayor Sadiq Khan's plans to extend London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone. Sunak's opposition to ULEZ and LTNs, the latest strategic manoeuvre in the pre-general election battleground, isn't the only move away from the green active travel policies held by his party in recent years, with the Prime Minister also recently hinting at plans to push back the date that sales of new petrol and diesel-powered cars will be banned, while funding for cycling infrastructure – including the new government body Active Travel England – has also taken a hit during his tenure in charge.In the second part of the latest episode of the road.cc Podcast, Jack, Simon, and Ryan sit round the table to discuss what Sunak's latest pro-driver pledges mean for the next general election, how they represent a shift away from past Conservative policy on cycling, active travel, and climate change (led by Johnson), and what impact they could have on the future landscape of cycling in the UK. Before we get to all that political chicanery, Ryan chats with Bristol couple Anna and Mark Cordle, who recently made the headlines after they set up a parking space for their family cargo bike outside their home – which, a year after it was installed, has been the subject of threats by the local council to remove it… because it was taking up a car parking space.In a really interesting discussion which touches on the differing perceptions and treatment of people who ride bikes to get around compared to those who use cars, Anna and Mark detail the reasons why they needed the space for their young family, how it was greeted by their neighbours, their current struggle against the council, and why planter-based bike parking spaces may provide an organic way forward for active travel in the UK's cities.

Last week's by-elections left the Tory party wounded, with Labour and the Lib Dems on the front foot. Or are they? The Tories JUST held onto Uxbridge and South Ruislip, and those on the right say that's down to Labour's ULEZ policy. Starmer, for some reason, ran with that Narrative. Is he losing his nerve over his party's green policies? And when will the Tories stop shitting on young voters? That's Oh God, What Now? With this week's guest, Rachel Cunliffe. “If I were Sunak I'd be tearing my hair out, but the narrative is - it wasn't that bad really.” – Rachel Cunliffe  “The Lib Dems are like ‘WE ARE KINGS OF THE WORLD'.” – Marie Le Conte “I think Labour are currently making a category error on what the Tories' strategy is.” – Alex Andreou. “You don't earn any votes by shitting on young people.” – Marie Le Conte.

The recent English byelection results have thrown the possibility of a Labour government after the next general election into sharp relief.We examine those results and the messages both Labour and the Tories seem to be taking from,in particular,Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Will they both jettison their Net Zero commitments for short term political expediency?The Labour National Policy Forum,despite pressure from Unite and Momentum, endorsed Starmer's economic and social policies,rejecting,without a vote, amendments to abolish the two child benefit cap,institute a £15 per hour minimum wage, expand free school meals, and repeal anti-protest laws. Where,yet again, does this leave Scottish Labour? We also ask if Scottish Labour will stand up for the Scottish Parliament against attacks on its powers emanating from Labour Lord George Foulkes with support from the Conservative government?Chris Hanlon has,or has he,launched a bid to oust Humza Yousaf as leader of the SNP. What's behind the headlines and was his approach wise?The snap Spanish general election has resulted not in the predicted victory for the Right/Far Right but a hung parliament where "regional" parties could flex their muscle to secure significant concessions in return for supporting the return of a Socialist government.

The dust has settled after yesterday's by-election results. Having narrowly avoided a triple by-election defeat there seems to be little sign of Conservative party in-fighting, despite their poor showing. There is however a war of words brewing between the London Labour Party and Kier Starmer who blames Sadiq Khan's Ulez plan for the failure to snatch Uxbridge and South Ruislip. What lessons will each party take from the by-elections into next year's general election?    James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and pollster James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners. 

The Conservative Party beat Labour in Uxbridge and South Ruislip by just 495 votes in the by-elections. Both parties suggested plans by Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan's to expand London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) played a part in the defeat.

The Tories clutch at a straw marked “ULEZ” but can't hide the fact that they got an absolute hiding in three by-elections. What's the truth behind the spin? Will Uxbridge tank Labour's green policies? And who made a bigger fool of himself: Grant Shapps or Johnny Mercer?

There was something for everyone in the by-elections with each of the three big parties getting a seat. The Tories lost Somerton and Frome to the Lib Dems and Selby and Ainsty to Labour but did narrowly cling on in Boris Johnson's former seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, albeit with a reduced majority of just 495 votes. James Heale unpacks the results with Fraser Nelson and Katy Balls.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

The Mayor of London is facing one of his biggest tests yet with a legal showdown on 4th July over the expansion of the Ultra Low Emissions Zone.Five Tory councils claim the Mayor acted unlawfully in the way he proposed to widen the zone to the Greater London boundary on 29th August.Sadiq Khan's controversial flagship policy to tackle the capital's toxic air is emerging as a key issue in the 2024 mayoral election - and the row could also influence voters in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election. The Evening Standard's City Hall Editor & Transport Editor, Ross Lydall, explains how much is on the line with this legal challenge, the potential repercussions of the case, and whether the Ulez expansion could be Sadiq Khan's downfall.

It came on Saturday - effectively immediately - Boris Johnson resigned from his parliamentary seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip - a Greater London constituency inside of the M25 Motorway for those who need to know - It was on the front page of the Financial Times Weekend Supplement but - below the fold. Michael Heseltine, the former deputy Prime Minister under Margaret Thatcher - keep your friends close but your enemies even closer - described the move as “a brilliant coup de théâtre - and - it is … totally unprincipled and dishonest.”

The summer silly season isn't yet upon us but already things have descended into circus mode, with Boris Johnson's resignation as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. But did he jump or was he pushed?

BORIS JOHNSON POUSSÉ À LA DÉMISSION – 07/07/22 Invités Florentin COLLOMP Journaliste - « Le Figaro » Spécialiste Europe, ex-correspondant à Londres Philip TURLE Éditorialiste en politique internationale - « France 24 » Georgina WRIGHT Directrice du programme Europe - Institut Montaigne Clémence FOURTON Maîtresse de conférences en études anglophones - Sciences Po Lille Marie BILLON – en direct de Londres Correspondante à Londres - RTL Il capitule. Au Royaume-Uni, le Premier ministre Boris Johnson quitte la tête du Parti conservateur. Il restera cependant chef de l'exécutif jusqu'à ce qu'un nouveau dirigeant soit désigné. « Il est désormais clair que le Parti conservateur souhaite avoir un nouveau chef et donc un nouveau Premier ministre », a-t-il reconnu dès le début de son discours prononcé à partir de 13h30 sur le perron du 10 Downing Street. Le processus de succession à la tête du parti tory doit commencer dès maintenant, a-t-il ajouté, précisant qu'un calendrier plus précis serait annoncé la semaine prochaine. Confronté à une "mutinerie" au sein de son gouvernement et du Parti conservateur, Boris Johnson, qui s'accrochait jusqu'ici au pouvoir, a finalement cédé à une pression devenue trop forte ces derniers jours. Une valse de démissions a commencé mardi soir quand les ministres de la santé, Sajid Javid, et des finances, Rishi Sunak, ont claqué la porte, suivis par d'autres membres du gouvernement, de rang moins élevé. Ce midi, le nombre de départs s'élevait à une soixantaine. Tous les démissionnaires l'ont pressé de quitter le pouvoir, tout comme certains ministres toujours en poste. Critiqué pour avoir refusé à de multiples reprises de quitter le pouvoir en dépit des scandales et de ces appels à la démission au sein de son propre camp, Boris Johnson a tenu à se justifier : « Si je me suis battu si fort ces derniers jours pour continuer à exercer ce mandat, ce n'était pas seulement que je voulais le faire, mais parce que je sentais que c'était là mon travail, mon devoir, mon obligation envers vous de continuer à mettre en œuvre ce que nous avons promis en 2019. » Mais à l'heure d'esquisser son bilan, la colère sociale continue de croître au Royaume-Uni. L'inflation est au plus haut depuis 40 ans, et est à l'origine notamment d'une grève massive des cheminots. Ces derniers protestent depuis le 21 juin 2022 contre le gel des salaires et des suppressions d'emploi. À ce mouvement social historique s'ajoutent nombreuses perturbations dans les aéroports britanniques du fait d'un manque de personnel. Cette grève intervient alors que les foyers britanniques font face à une crise du pouvoir d'achat sans précédent en plusieurs décennies, avec une flambée des prix des produits alimentaires et du carburant tandis que les salaires réels sont restés à leurs niveaux de 2016. Dans la circonscription d'Uxbridge et South Ruislip, située dans le Grand Londres et représentée depuis 2015 à la Chambre des Communes du Parlement britannique par Boris Johnson lui-même, les habitants font part de leur déception. Certains sont virulents contre lui et estiment qu'il n'a pas fait suffisamment. Sur le front du Brexit, tout n'est pas réglé non plus. Si le ministre chargé de l'Irlande du Nord, Brandon Lewis, a annoncé aujourd'hui qu'il démissionnait lui aussi du gouvernement, Londres a rouvert mi-juin les plaies du Brexit avec une réforme du protocole nord-irlandais. Un projet de loi modifiant le régime douanier de l'Irlande du Nord a en effet été présenté au parlement britannique, courant le risque de provoquer une nouvelle crise avec l'Union européenne. La Commission européenne avait annoncé dans les jours suivant de nouvelles procédures d'infraction contre Londres après le lancement de cette révision unilatérale du statut post-Brexit de l'Irlande du Nord. Un bras de fer qui n'en finit donc pas alors que Boris Johnson s'apprête à quitter le pouvoir. Qui pour succéder à Boris Johnson ? Comment le Royaume-Uni peut-il faire face à l'inflation galopante ? Quand la question irlandaise sera-t-elle définitivement réglée ?

On the 14th September 1954, 21 year old Jean Townsend was walking home from South Ruislip train station in Greater London. She was returning home from an evening out with her friends. She did not make it home. The next morning her body was found a piece of wasteland only a few streets away from the station. An investigation into her murder would uncover a number of other worrying incident in what was later described as Ruislip's murder mile.Important information provided by:For contemporary news articles: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25056232ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jean_Townsend (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jean_Townsend)https://www.sundaypost.com/news/uk-news/why-im-sure-the-yorkshire-ripper-killed-gloria/Music by: www.dl-sounds.com (http://www.dl-sounds.com/)Follow us on social media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen Podcast
