Emmanuel Macron is in London this week, meeting the Royal Family - and Keir Starmer isn't missing the chance to cosy up to the French President. The Prime Minister is hosting a summit in central London with Macron, bringing in French and British business bosses to talk trade and tech. Starmer is talking once again of strengthening ties with Europe, but is this yet another Brexit surrender deal after his ‘EU reset' that gave away access to British fishing waters for twelve years?Starmer and Macron are also expected to announce plans for French police to do more to stop the endless flow of small boats crossing the Channel. But with no sign of a proper returns deal for illegal migrants, Tim and Cleo Watson ask The Daily Telegraph's Europe Editor James Crisp what Britain really gets from this relationship. And we remember Tory grandee Norman Tebbit, who has died aged 94. A towering figure in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet, he helped take on the unions, oversaw privatisation and famously survived the IRA's Brighton bomb of 1984. Lord Charles Moore, Thatcher's biographer, reflects on Tebbit's legacy and the era he helped shape.Read:Victorious Macron arrives at summit to accept Starmer's Brexit surrender - James CrispLord Tebbit, pugnacious Tory who articulated the Iron Lady's views to the man on the streetProducer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

In his roll as UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy has often talked of his concept of progressive realism, but what does that mean? And how has that impacted British foreign policy over the past 12 months? In this episode of Disorder, Alex Hall Hall and Arthur Snell delve into the complexities of British diplomacy over the past year – offering a grade point for each area of British foreign policy. They assess the UK's relationships with the US and EU, the implications of NATO and defense strategies, their dealings with Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia and the government's response to the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.  To close – and Order the Disorder – the pair express the need for a clearer vision in foreign policy, greater engagement with the Global South, and a clearer moral backbone from Starmer and co.

It is just over a year since Keir Starmer's Labour Party won a huge majority and took power in London, but Starmer's political capital is already at a low ebb. It hasn't all been bad: most noticeably here, he has managed to repair the UK's relationship with Ireland after the fractious Brexit years. But he has also handled the Trump administration and the EU with skill. It's at home where he hasn't done so well. Some notable successes - on reducing NHS waiting times - have been overshadowed by a series of u-turns, mishaps and political miscalculations.

Un'ammissione di responsabilità è arrivata dal premier laburista britannico Keir Starmer per la gestione della riforma del welfare, approvata in modo caotico alla Camera dei Comuni dopo profonde concessioni volte a placare la rivolta interna. Intervistato dalla BBC, Starmer ha riconosciuto di non aver coinvolto abbastanza i parlamentari laburisti, ma ha difeso la cancelliera dello Scacchiere Rachel Reeves, scoppiata in lacrime durante il Question Time. Reeves, sotto pressione per la gestione dei conti pubblici e attaccata dalla leader conservatrice Kemi Badenoch, non ha ricevuto da subito il sostegno esplicito del premier, che ha poi attribuito il pianto a motivi personali. Tuttavia, secondo il Sun, Reeves avrebbe confidato di essere sopraffatta dalla pressione. Entrata già visibilmente provata, si è commossa quando Starmer ha evitato di confermare pubblicamente la sua posizione, lasciando l’aula accompagnata dalla sorella Ellie, anche lei deputata. Le immagini hanno fatto il giro del mondo e generato incertezza nei mercati: lo spread sui titoli di Stato britannici è salito ai livelli del disastroso budget Truss e la sterlina è crollata contro dollaro ed euro. “Le lacrime più costose della Storia”, ha commentato un deputato conservatore. Interviene Giorgia Scaturro, Il Sole 24 Ore LondraDagli albori della raccolta differenziata al primato europeo: 30 anni di raccolta e riciclo di carta e cartone in ItaliaDomani a Cagliari sarà presentato il 30° Rapporto di Comieco sulla raccolta e il riciclo di carta e cartone in Italia, con un focus sui risultati 2024 e una retrospettiva sui 40 anni del Consorzio. La Sardegna ospita l’evento per il suo ruolo guida nel Sud e nelle Isole, con una resa annua di 60,5 kg/abitante. Il report evidenzia come in trent’anni l’Italia abbia moltiplicato per sei e mezzo la propria capacità di raccolta, passando da 10 kg pro capite nel 1995 a 65,4 kg nel 2024. Il volume totale ha superato i 3,8 milioni di tonnellate (+3,5% rispetto al 2023), con il Sud che per la prima volta supera i 50 kg/abitante. Il sistema creato da Comieco, grazie al Contributo Ambientale Conai, genera un ritorno fino al 688% degli investimenti, secondo uno studio NeXt Economia–Symbola. Il Nord si conferma leader, trainato da Veneto, Piemonte ed Emilia-Romagna. Ne parliamo proprio con Carlo Montalbetti, Direttore Generale ComiecoUiv fatturato, dazi e consumi le incognite del vinoLamberto Frescobaldi è stato confermato presidente di Unione italiana vini (Uiv) per il prossimo triennio. L’assemblea nazionale ha sottolineato le preoccupazioni legate a calo di fatturato, dazi e consumi. I dati Uiv mostrano una flessione dell’export di vino italiano negli Stati Uniti in aprile: -7,5% a volume, -9,2% a valore, con un calo del prezzo medio del 2%. La frenata è legata all’introduzione dei dazi da parte dell’amministrazione Trump. Il quadrimestre resta stabile (+0,9% a volume, +6,7% a valore), ma la tendenza è in peggioramento. Nei primi 5 mesi del 2025 i consumi di vino italiano negli USA sono calati del 6,3%, con un -10,6% a maggio. Una delle flessioni più nette degli ultimi anni. Frescobaldi ha sottolineato la necessità di rivedere l’assetto del settore vino e ha annunciato un confronto aperto nella prossima assemblea nazionale del 3 luglio a Roma. Martina Paladin, impegnata nell’export per Casa Paladin, ha confermato come la frenata americana si faccia sentire anche per i produttori più strutturati, sottolineando l’urgenza di nuove strategie sui mercati extra-Ue.

There have been a number of navel-gazing interviews with the Prime Minister over the weekend. Across thousands and thousands of words, he seems to be saying – if you read between the lines – that he doesn't particularly enjoy being PM.In better news, Labour seems to have quelled the welfare rebellion. Liz Kendall is making a statement in the Commons this afternoon, in which she will outline the concessions that Labour has made on its controversial welfare bill. All in, the cost has spiralled by £3 billion per calendar year – which an already put-upon Chancellor will have to find. Whilst it remains the largest rebellion of this government, the number of rebels has shrunk to around 50. Also on the podcast, Wes Streeting is due to announce his – much-delayed – ten-year plan for the NHS. We are expecting a number of big shifts in Thursday's announcement, including: moving from analogue to digital, swapping treatment for prevention, and hospital for community. Does Wes have the perspiration for the ailing NHS?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
