BURNHAM: WE ARE NOT THUGS! YOU ARE A COWARD — LISTEN TO BRITAIN! #AndyBurnham #Portsmouth #StopTheBoats #BorderCrisis #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  NO ARRESTS! NOT ONE! SO STOP CALLING ORDINARY BRITS THUGS! After the extraordinary scenes in Portsmouth last night, Andy Burnham and his Government have done what this political class ALWAYS does. They blame YOU. They lecture YOU. They demonise YOU. Instead of asking why ordinary British people are so bloody angry, they reach for the insults — "thugs", "intimidating", the usual establishment rubbish designed to shut down debate. Well, I've got a message for Burnham tonight: WE ARE NOT THUGS. WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. START LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOUR WAGES! And here's the fact they can't brush aside: THERE WERE NO ARRESTS LAST NIGHT. If the police have evidence that an individual committed an offence, investigate them and deal with them. Simple. But don't smear an entire protest because you don't like its message. The message from Portsmouth was one we've heard across Britain: STOP THE BOATS! SECURE OUR BORDERS! PUT BRITISH PEOPLE FIRST! How many prime ministers, home secretaries and governments have promised to sort this mess out? And what have we got? More excuses. More spin. More lectures. And more politicians apparently incapable of understanding the anger outside the Westminster bubble.  Burnham was supposed to be different. Different? He sounds more like Starmer every bloody day! The British working class has had enough of being talked down to by politicians who expect their votes and taxes but don't appear interested in listening to what they're saying.  Tonight I'm asking: WHO ARE THE REAL THUGS? The people demanding secure borders? Or a political establishment that repeatedly promises action and then fails to deliver? Britain is angry. Portsmouth showed it again last night. Burnham can either start LISTENING to that anger — or carry on demonising the people expressing it. Because continually ignoring millions of people and treating legitimate anger with contempt is a dangerous road for this country. I WANT YOUR VIEWS — AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO HOLD BACK!

Politics is back – and it's a bumper day in Westminster. Kemi Badenoch got ahead of the field yesterday by reshuffling her top team a day earlier than expected, and the changes are much more comprehensive than first thought. James Cleverly is off to run for the London mayoralty, while Priti Patel and Mel Stride have both been given the boot. Katie Lam takes over Cleverly's housing brief, while Andrew Griffith will hope to bring some much-needed energy to the role of shadow chancellor. So what does the reshuffle tell us about Badenoch's strategy – and what does it mean for the Tories' economic offer?Elsewhere, Keir Starmer has resigned as an MP. Listeners may remember that he used to joke that Rishi Sunak would be the one to leave politics behind for sunnier Californian climes.

Proletarian TV | 24 August 2026 The new face of the imperialist Labour Party, Burnham, has made his first international trip Ukraine. While faces might change and representatives will come and go, the line of the Labour Party is the line of the finance capitalists in the City of London. It is no surprise then that the warmongering line of Starmer has continued with Burnham, a man whose rise to power seems manufactured. Burnham was not even an MP a month before his role of prime minister, but the doors were opened to allow him to quickly become an MP, become a candidate for the leadership of the Labour Party and eventually prime minister of the United Kingdom. As our General Secretary Ranjeet Brar says in this RT interview: "...you see just how lacking our country is in democracy." ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

ARE ALL MPs HYPOCRITES & LIARS? JOHN HEALEY MUST RESIGN! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #JohnHealey #DefenceSpending #UKDefence #Labour #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics So much for principle. So much for integrity. So much for putting the country before your political career. John Healey was hailed as a politician with principles when he dramatically resigned as Defence Secretary over defence spending. He effectively accused Keir Starmer's government and the Treasury of failing to give our Armed Forces the money they needed. He told Parliament Britain needed to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2030. His resignation helped pile the pressure onto an already crumbling Starmer government and Healey emerged looking like that rarest of creatures — a politician prepared to sacrifice his job for his principles. Fast-forward a few weeks and Healey is back around the Cabinet table — this time as Chancellor of the Exchequer. And what happens to that great principle now HE controls the purse strings? Suddenly the 3% target can wait. You couldn't make it up! Was his resignation really about Britain's national security — or was it another calculated move up the greasy political pole? If John Healey genuinely believed Britain was being put at risk by inadequate defence spending, how can he now justify delaying the very commitment he demanded from Starmer? And that raises a much bigger question: CAN WE TRUST ANY OF THEM? Do our MPs actually have principles anymore? Or do principles last only until they get in the way of the next Cabinet job, leadership contest or political promotion? Are politicians entering Parliament to change the country — or simply to climb the greasy pole? ARE ALL MPs HYPOCRITES & LIARS? And if John Healey cannot explain this extraordinary reversal, shouldn't he resign as Chancellor? Join Jon Gaunt LIVE for a no-holds-barred, interactive debate. I want YOUR views.

The last two years has seen a meteoric rise for Labour's Miatta Fahnbulleh. From backbench MP, she has just joined Burnham's cabinet as the new Energy Secretary, taking over from Ed Miliband. Today, she joined us in the studio to talk about why she quit Starmer's government, the changes Labour needs, and her return as a front bench MP.And, with a Labour leadership contest always somewhere on the horizon, we ask could Miatta Fahnbulleh one day make history and be the first woman to lead the Labour party?The News Agents is a Global production.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://grp.hsbc/TheRightConnections

Mientras reclama más apoyo financiero y militar de sus aliados occidentales, Ucrania exhibe los resultados de una estrategia que busca llevar el coste de la guerra al interior de Rusia. Según Pablo de Orellana, profesor titular de Relaciones Internacionales del King's College de Londres, Kiev ha logrado recuperar la iniciativa mediante una combinación de ataques a la logística rusa, resistencia en el Donbás y aislamiento de Crimea. RFI. El presidente Zelenski pidió más dinero, "mucho más dinero", para la guerra de su país contra Rusia. La solicitud fue hecha en Kiev en el marco de la celebración, este lunes, del 35º aniversario de la independencia de Ucrania, en presencia de representantes de la Coalición de Voluntarios, foro que agrupa a países que apoyan a Kiev en medio de la incertidumbre sobre el apoyo de Washington. El primer ministro británico, Andy Burnham, anunció además la autorización para que la empresa de defensa MBDA comparta información clasificada que permita a Ucrania producir localmente el misil de crucero de largo alcance franco-británico Storm Shadow, conocido en Francia como Scalp. ¿Qué piensa de este anuncio? De lo que se trata es de la cesión de los planos de los misiles Storm Shadow, también llamados Scalp en Francia. Esto supone un cambio de política bastante importante desde el punto de vista británico. Francia ya había cedido hace unos meses parte de esta tecnología a los ucranianos, pero aún faltaban los sistemas de guiado y otros aspectos tecnológicos de origen británico. Que ahora se autorice su transferencia a Ucrania es importante porque representa la última fase de la política impulsada por Biden y Starmer de permitir a Ucrania utilizar armamento occidental contra objetivos dentro del territorio ruso, incluso a gran profundidad. Creo que esta decisión también refleja la constatación, por parte de las potencias europeas y especialmente de Gran Bretaña y Francia, de que Estados Unidos no va a suministrar suficientes misiles Tomahawk a Ucrania. Washington tampoco quiso transferir esa tecnología. Finalmente, resulta interesante observar un endurecimiento de la política británica hacia Rusia. Se reconoce cada vez más la idea de que, sin la capacidad de atacar objetivos estratégicos dentro de Rusia, la guerra no tendrá un coste político suficiente para Moscú como para modificar su posición de cara a una eventual conclusión del conflicto. RFI. Este anuncio británico cayó muy mal en Rusia. Moscú acusó al Reino Unido de impedir cualquier avance en el proceso de paz al facilitar esa información y aseguró que su ejército atacará y destruirá las instalaciones que produzcan el misil. Unas amenazas que Londres calificó de escandalosas. ¿Hay razones para temer represalias de Moscú por todo esto? Moscú lleva años obsesionada, sobre todo en el plano propagandístico, con la idea de que toda esta guerra es una fabricación británica. Recuerdo que hace dos años se promovían teorías conspirativas según las cuales Starmer y Gran Bretaña habían provocado el conflicto y buscaban destruir a Rusia. Hoy Peskov ha dicho esencialmente lo mismo: que Gran Bretaña está obsesionada con destruir a Rusia y que está echando más gasolina al fuego. Remitiría a sus lectores a la respuesta, muy breve y muy sencilla, que dio Andy Burnham: ¿quién empezó esta guerra? La empezó Rusia. No es la primera vez que Rusia amenaza a Gran Bretaña de forma agresiva. Hace dos años hubo advertencias aún más graves. Recordemos aquellas declaraciones según las cuales, si países con armamento nuclear apoyaban a Ucrania, Rusia se consideraría libre de utilizar armas nucleares contra ellos. Era una amenaza directa contra Gran Bretaña y Francia. Y, aun así, no ocurrió nada. Dudo mucho que esto conduzca a una escalada más violenta. Sí vemos algunas fricciones diplomáticas entre ambos países. Por ejemplo, el embajador ruso fue llamado a Moscú y aún no se ha designado un reemplazo, lo que constituye una degradación de las relaciones diplomáticas. También hay otro elemento significativo. Estamos celebrando el 35° aniversario de la independencia de Ucrania, un acontecimiento que, según Putin, marcó el comienzo de la destrucción de Rusia y que él interpreta como el resultado de una conspiración occidental destinada a debilitar al país. No debemos olvidar que Putin sigue viendo la independencia de Ucrania bajo esa lógica. RFI. Los rusos siguen atacando y matando civiles ucranianos con misiles de largo alcance. Pero también hemos visto señales de debilidad por parte de Moscú. El ejército ruso no está conquistando nuevos territorios, el gobienro ha tenido que recurrir a tropas norcoreanas y, al parecer, preparan una movilización para reclutar 300.000 hombres. Además, están desplazando sus bases logísticas más hacia el este. Mientras tanto, los ucranianos lanzan cada día cientos de drones, atacan refinerías y centros logísticos, e incluso un centro de investigación aeroespacial en Samara fue alcanzado e incendiado. En las redes se multiplican los videos mostrando largas filas de ciudadanos esperando para comprar gasolina en muchas ciudades, incluida Moscú. ¿Se puede decir que en este conflicto las fuerzas se han equilibrado, incluso que la dinámica actual favorece a Kiev? No creo que estemos todavía en una situación de equilibrio. Rusia mantiene una capacidad muy superior para bombardear objetivos cruciales dentro de Ucrania. El proyecto de fabricar misiles Scalp en territorio ucraniano presenta un problema evidente: los rusos intentarán destruir cualquier fábrica cuya ubicación conozcan. Dicho esto, tampoco sería correcto afirmar que Ucrania está atacando Rusia a la misma escala con la que Rusia ataca Ucrania. Sin embargo, sí observamos tres elementos muy importantes. El primero es que la estrategia militar y política ucraniana, aplicada durante los últimos seis meses, está empezando a dar resultados. Como decía Clausewitz, la guerra es la continuación de la política por otros medios, y Ucrania ha puesto en marcha una estrategia coherente. El aspecto más visible consiste en hacer que la economía y la logística rusas sientan el coste de la guerra. De ahí los ataques con drones contra centros de distribución logística, incluidos los de Wildberries, una plataforma comparable a Amazon y utilizada también por el ejército ruso. El segundo elemento es la fortificación del Donbás. Los ucranianos han conseguido impedir avances significativos de las fuerzas rusas durante meses. Las líneas del frente permanecen prácticamente congeladas. Y el tercer elemento, quizá menos visible para el gran público, es el aislamiento de Crimea. Esa estrategia está funcionando muy bien. Rusia está retirando gran cantidad de material logístico, militar y naval de la península. En la práctica, Crimea se está convirtiendo en una isla sometida a la presión constante de drones y misiles. Se destruyen infraestructuras clave de acceso y la península afronta problemas de abastecimiento. Estos tres componentes de la estrategia ucraniana, llevar el impacto de la guerra al interior de Rusia, resistir en el Donbás y aislar Crimea como centro logístico de la invasión, están dando resultados. Por segunda vez desde el inicio del conflicto, Ucrania tiene la iniciativa. La diferencia con ocasiones anteriores es que esta vez Rusia parece carecer de una estrategia eficaz para contrarrestarla. Muy lentamente, Ucrania está avanzando. Y por eso Rusia está tan desesperada. RFI. Se dice que los rusos están sintiendo en carne propia la guerra, por primera vez, la guerra ha desembarcado en su territorio. Exactamente. Por primera vez se ven columnas de humo y explosiones en Moscú. El régimen de Putin ha hecho todo lo posible por aislar ciudades simbólicas como Moscú, San Petersburgo o Sochi de los efectos de la guerra, como si nada estuviera ocurriendo. Eso ya no es posible. Ahora cada vez más rusos saben que el país está en guerra y que ellos también pagan el precio de las decisiones del régimen. Esto encarece políticamente la guerra para Putin. La población percibe mejor sus costes y sus consecuencias. Existe además una enorme preocupación por el anuncio del Ministerio de Defensa sobre el reclutamiento de 300.000 soldados adicionales. Todo indica que la movilización se centrará en regiones periféricas, evitando Moscú y San Petersburgo para mantener la apariencia de normalidad. La reacción de inquietud que estamos viendo demuestra que Rusia tiene dificultades para reclutar nuevos soldados. Es algo notable en un país con una población muy superior a la de Ucrania. Hay problemas para mantener los efectivos, para sostener el esfuerzo militar y para convencer a la población de que esta es una guerra que merece la pena. Desde el punto de vista de muchos rusos, la guerra está regresando a casa. RFI ¿Es completamente descabellado pensar que Rusia, el Estado ruso tal como se conoce hoy, pueda llegar a derrumbarse? Se lo pregunto porque la situación económica parece cada vez más delicada. Al mismo tiempo, del lado político, resulta difícil para la cúpula rusa admitir públicamente los golpes infligidos por Ucrania. La propaganda los niega, si bien esos golpes siguen acumulándose y para millones de rusos ya son evidentes. ¿No podría esta combinación de deterioro económico y ceguera política desembocar en una crisis mucho más profunda, incluso un desmoronamiento del país? Por ahora, no. Aún no veo el final del régimen de Putin. Si esta situación se prolonga durante varios años más, podría convertirse en una posibilidad, pero actualmente el régimen conserva recursos, fuerza política y, sobre todo, el control de los aparatos del Estado necesarios para mantener la represión, la censura y la propaganda. No debemos olvidar que Rusia vive en una situación de aislamiento informativo considerable. Su ecosistema digital se ha vuelto cada vez más autónomo y separado del resto del mundo. En estas condiciones, resulta difícil que la población tenga, al menos a corto plazo, la capacidad de desafiar seriamente al régimen. En mi opinión, la principal amenaza para Putin no vendría de la calle, sino de una rebelión dentro de las élites económicas. Y creo que eso también preocupa al propio Putin. Hemos visto desaparecer o caer en desgracia a varios oligarcas importantes durante los últimos meses. Y eso es significativo porque se trata de personas tradicionalmente leales al régimen. Son quienes han controlado durante años grandes estructuras financieras, económicas, logísticas y mediáticas. Si Putin empieza a sospechar de sus propios aliados, a encarcelarlos o a reprimirlos, eso puede interpretarse como un signo de fragilidad interna. Pero la situación actual también demuestra que todavía dispone de los medios necesarios para neutralizar a quienes desafían su poder.

Proletarian writers | 10 June 2026 The prime minister's speech following the launch of the illegal war against Iran is an object and nauseating lesson in political doublespeak. Starmer and the Labour party remain loyal servants of the City of London financiers. Behind his latest verbal contortions lies the naked truth that Britain is a principal and criminal aggressor in what the antiwar movement has misleadingly dubbed ‘Trump's war' against Iran. ------------------------------------------ Subscribe!

The Epstein files are being framed as more than another royal scandal in Britain; they are being presented as a full institutional crisis hitting the monarchy, Parliament, and the Metropolitan Police all at once. The reporting argues that the newly released U.S. Justice Department documents have accelerated a collapse in public trust, with polling showing support for the monarchy falling below majority levels and approval ratings for senior royals dropping sharply. The deepest royal damage centers on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was reportedly arrested in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office over questions about whether he forwarded classified government reports to Epstein while serving as a trade envoy. No charges have been brought, but the arrest and open investigation have turned Epstein from a reputational stain on the royal family into a live legal and constitutional problem.The political and policing fallout is described as just as severe. Keir Starmer's government is portrayed as being badly damaged by the Peter Mandelson connection, after Mandelson's Epstein relationship and later document releases reportedly helped fuel a Labour revolt, cabinet resignation pressure, and growing questions about Starmer's judgment. At the same time, the Metropolitan Police is under scrutiny over allegations that officers had proximity to Epstein-linked social circles, that Epstein-connected flights entered and left Britain without meaningful scrutiny, and that a London property tied to Epstein was not pursued more aggressively despite concerns about young women being housed there under coercive conditions. The broader point is that Britain is not dealing with one isolated Epstein-related embarrassment, but a convergence of failures across the Crown, the government, and law enforcement — the very institutions that were supposed to prevent this kind of power-protected abuse from festering in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Files Are Tearing Britain's Institutions ApartBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

You, the listeners, send in questions that we don't see before we press record. We then try to have a conversation around them, explore different perspectives, and hopefully come to some conclusions.Today, we've got two listeners who have sent in questions for the first time.The first of our newbies is Harry, Stank, Cumbria, England - “So, what did you make of the UK local elections last week?”Stuart believes the shift towards Reform and the Greens is more a reflection of how people vote between general elections rather than a clear rejection of Labour or Starmer. He sees it as an ongoing political trend rather than a definitive statement of intent. Stuart feels that allowing Reform to gain power could expose the limitations of their promises and show voters that they cannot provide simple solutions to complex problems, although he acknowledges the potential damage that could come from that outcome.William feels the local elections do not hold much significance for him and admits he does not usually engage with them. He believes that while general elections are where he chooses to make his voice heard, local politics does not have the same impact on him. William sees voting as a personal choice, even if he questions how much difference one vote can ultimately make.The second debutant is Rick, Colgate, West Sussex, England - “Do you believe in ‘Net Stupid Zero', when the UK only produces a tiny percentage of the world's pollution and could still be drilling its own oil? How is that inspiring large scale polluters to make a change?"William believes that the UK's contribution to global pollution should not be used as a reason to avoid taking action. He feels that any steps to improve air quality, protect nature, and restore the environment are worthwhile because they directly affect the future of humanity. William argues that people have the ability to create positive change, but feels progress is being held back by excessive consumerism, division, and a focus on differences rather than working together.Stuart believes the UK should consider a more balanced approach to energy, including the possibility of using its own oil resources. He questions whether the idea that the UK's actions will inspire larger polluters to change is realistic, suggesting that global progress will take time. However, Stuart feels that doing the right thing should not depend on whether others follow, but should come from a genuine commitment to making better choices.In this episode William talks about a Wikipedia link which shows wind generation by country, here is the link: Wind generation by country, 2021What do you make of this discussion?

Andy Burnham has been on a regional tour of the UK, delivering a steady stream of policies aimed at tackling social issues. But now comes the hard part: should he push ahead with new drilling in the North Sea? After a summer of drought and wildfires, can the prime minister make the case for more fossil fuel extraction?

Racism and misogyny are becoming normalised as a result of rightwing politics and the ‘cesspit' of social media, says Labour's Bridget Phillipson. In an extended interview, the minister for women and equalities and new party chair sits down with Kiran Stacey to talk about her fears for British society, the climate crisis, what Burnham is really doing differently from Starmer, and whether her party can beat Reform.

The third of our exclusive summer interviews sees Ed Balls sit down with the former Chief of Staff for No. 10 Sue Gray. In her first major interview since her dramatic split from Keir Starmer's team, she details the lead up to entering Downing Street and just where things went wrong. Gray explains how she tried to prepare Starmer's team for government in 2023, where things went wrong at the beginning, and what it's like to be on the receiving end of an internal briefing war. In this tense and emotional conversation, she shares her raw reflections two years on and why things were not working at the top of government.Born in Tottenham to immigrant Irish parents, they also discuss her background, her meteoric rise through the civil service and what went on behind the scenes with her report into Partygate and the end of Boris Johnson.

Is Britain ready for war? In the third instalment of Sam and Anne's Summer Boxset, they're joined by Sky's Defence and Security Analyst Professor Michael Clarke to ask: can Burnham's government keep Britain safe? From Ukraine to the Middle East, the trio examine the challenge facing Defence Secretary Wes Streeting and ask can the government afford what it wants to do on defence?They also ask whether Burnham will approach Trump differently to Starmer and what the possible blowback from providing Ukraine with weapons to strike Russia could be.

SICK OF BURNHAM'S PR! IS ANDY JUST STARMER WITH BETTER HAIR?  #AndyBurnham #KeirStarmer #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #Burnham #IllegalImmigration #SmallBoats #RapeGangs #PCAndrewHarper  "The thing I hear more than anything when I'm out talking to people is just how expensive everyday life has become." To which I say: Don't they talk about illegal immigration? The Muslim rape gangs? The early release of rapists, murderers and cop killers? Don't they mention the murder of PC Andrew Harper? Really, Andy? You tell us you're travelling around the country meeting "real people" and listening to what they have to say. And yet apparently none of this comes up? You're not spinning us a yarn, are you, Andy? Because that brings me to the other thing I'm already sick to the back teeth of — ANDY BURNHAM'S PR SPIN. I'm sick of the TikToks. I'm sick of the carefully cultivated "man of the people" shtick. The T-shirt. The no tie. The rolled-up sleeves. Look at me, I'm Andy, I'm just like you. Give me a break!  Strip away the presentation and tell me: what is actually different between Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer? Apart from the fact that Andy still has black hair! Britain deserves better than this. It really does. We don't need another politician selling us an image. We don't need another social-media performance. We don't need another bloke telling us how much he's listening. WE NEED SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. Stop telling us you're listening and start telling us what you're going to DO. What are you going to do about illegal immigration? What are you going to do about the prison crisis and dangerous criminals being released early? What are you going to do to ensure the victims of grooming and rape gangs finally get justice? And what are you actually going to do to make ordinary people feel safe in their own country? Because then, just when you think British politics can't get any more ridiculous, what happens? We get the nuclear-alert system on our mobile phones — and we're being told how to cook our bloody bangers! Seriously?! Is this what government has been reduced to? We've got a country facing enormous problems and apparently somebody in government thinks what Britain really needs is instructions on how to barbecue a sausage. Forget the bangers. Get a grip on Britain. And here's the question I keep coming back to: ARE THE GROWN-UPS EVER GOING TO BE BACK IN CHARGE?

Send us Fan MailThis is another podcast concerning the Jason Arday affair at Cambridge University. Although so much has been posted on the subject I was concerned that those involved in Arday's appointment had not been widely made. I thought I would name them hopefully in a neutral way. To make my position clear I will state my political views, in the past I had voted Labour and for the past couple of elections I voted Green for Caroline Lucas at Brighton. I do not intend to vote for the Greens now or for anyone else until some form of Proportional Representation is introduced. There is no party that represents me, my political touchstone is George Orwell.I recently read the book Broken Vows about Tony Blair by Tom Bower and was amazed with the similarities there are with the Starmer premiership. Both were unprepared for office, Blair got away with it, but social media bought Starmer down. This podcast was made in the garden with chickens, dogs and cats all sheltering under a pergola with an intense sun beating down.Some sad news the cock that always called out during earlier podcasts, ‘Blackie' which my daughter thought a dreadful non PC name, (he was black). Anyhow he died this week. I don't know how old he was. He was mature when we got him 12 years ago. I was told he was dead and went out to bury him but he was alive and took a day to die, just sitting there taking an occasional drink of water. He was buried in the pet graveyard in the wood with the rest of departed friends.Thankyou to anyone listening, there is so much good content to listen to online, I am surprised anyone listens to this podcast. This one recorded on a 2014 Macbook (the two newer ones playing up) and two dodgy microphones, this one recorded on a Rode with a broken screen to stop ‘lisping'sounds. The Yeti mic was too temperamental.

Our second summer interview sees George Osborne sit down with the new Health Secretary and one of Labour's most experienced ministers, Yvette Cooper. She was the first minister to take maternity leave and is of course George's podcasting partner's other half. They talk about her nearly 30 years as an MP, how politics has changed and what it was like being in cabinet with her husband Ed Balls. They also discuss her new brief, how she plans to tackle Britain's social care crisis and her plans to prioritise families. She explains how Andy Burnham's leadership style differs from Keir Starmer's and why those differences contributed to the latter's struggles as prime minister. They delve into how she's stayed at the top of Labour, across almost 30 years and the challenges keeping their family life private while being public figures.

ANDY BURNHAM IS WORSE THAN STARMER! COP KILLERS & BORDER FIASCO #AndyBurnham #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #PCAndrewHarper #EarlyRelease #PrisonCrisis #SmallBoats I never thought I'd be asking this question: WAS KEIR STARMER ACTUALLY A BETTER PRIME MINISTER THAN ANDY BURNHAM?! At least with Starmer you knew what you were getting. He couldn't communicate, couldn't connect with ordinary people and, in my view, you could see the political spin coming a mile off. Burnham is different. He is a brilliant communicator. He understands PR. He talks the language of ordinary people. But where are the RESULTS? That's what tonight's show is about. Take the disgraceful situation surrounding PC Andrew Harper's killers. After massive public anger, Burnham now says he is "increasingly confident" they can be prevented from being released early. Good. I hope he succeeds. BUT WHY DID WE GET INTO THIS POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE? Why weren't killers like these excluded from the early-release scheme from day one? Why has it taken outrage from the Harper family, the police and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to force action? And then there are the SMALL BOATS. Burnham promised to be "relentless". But people are still crossing the Channel. Since he entered Downing Street, thousands more have made the journey. 3000 in total! We don't need another slogan. WE NEED RESULTS. Then there's Burnham's growing shopping list of promises: £2 bus fares, help for pubs, social-care reform, apprenticeships, energy measures and more. Some of those ideas sound great. I've said that myself. But Britain's finances don't run on good intentions. WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM? Burnham's first Budget isn't until October, so tonight I want to separate the announcements from the properly costed policies and ask whether we're being sold another enormous helping of JAM TOMORROW. That's my growing concern about Andy Burnham. LOTS OF PR. LOTS OF ANNOUNCEMENTS. LOTS OF PROMISES. But will he actually deliver? Tonight at 6PM LIVE, let's have the argument the mainstream media won't have:

In this media themed episode of EMQs, Ed Balls and George Osborne dip into the archive of questions from the past year to put all things media and politics into the spotlight. Fellow podcasters Jane Garvey and Fi Glover send in a question to find out why there are no interviewers quite like Brian Walden anymore, and whether biographies assisted by AI should be labelled as such in future.Ed and George then look to the past to get some inspiration for the future, with a listener asking which political biographies give us the best indication of just how history may rhyme in the coming years. They then name the best political journalists from their time in politics, and who left the biggest impact in the day to day of government.Finally, the pair are challenged on whether podcasts like this one are what really doomed Keir Starmer. Was Ed saying how he would have done things differently too destabilising? Or, was the fall of the Starmer government inevitable no matter how much commentary there was?We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question or send a question to our social media handles:

Julia Hartley-Brewer exposes Andy Burnham's tone-deaf "listening tour" as new figures reveal Labour's early prison release scheme could unleash 89,000 extra crimes by 2029 — including sex offences, robberies and the terrifying prospect of the 2006 liquid bomb terrorists walking free by Christmas. Former government adviser Claire Pearsall says Burnham should be fixing policy, not touring pubs. Plus: a record 230 migrants cross in a single dinghy, fresh questions over the Farage firebombing probe following Ann Widdecombe's murder, the Jason Arday Cambridge scandal unravels further, and Lord Redwood savages Starmer's EU reset and Burnham's costly two-site government.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

Continuing his tour across the country, Andy Burnham has been in Barrow-in-Furness backing Starmer's investment plan into nuclear submarines. This ties together with a commitment to reindustrialise Britain and promise more apprenticeships for NEETs. But despite policy pledges on employment, the economy and social care this week – small boats have been a story dominating the headlines. Natasha Feroze speaks to Noa Hoffman and James Heale about why Burnham has avoided this issue of immigration so far, and whether the fun could be over for the Prime Minister next week.

What parts of AI does the UK have to control to secure ourselves against enemies? Does Burnham understand how important AI is for growth and security? Are entrepreneurs less welcome in the UK now? Why should the government support a ‘freedom to fail' funding and business culture?  Matt Clifford wrote Starmer's AI action plan.  He is a tech investor and co-founder of the billion dollar business Entrepreneurs First. He talks to Robert and Steph about UK AI policy and chairing the organisation ARIA that hands out government funding for fundamental tech research.

Yeah it's long…she was a big deal!Part two sees us follow Rosa to Berlin from Zurich, with her doctorate in hand and a fig leaf marriage for a German passport. The partnership with Leo Jogiches has become long distance (rocky) and she's flourishing out on her own, developing long lasting and important friendships with the likes of Clara Zetkin and Karl Kautsky. Rosa Luxemburg's dreams for the working class are big and bold and beautiful, recognising the decimation of human dignity that industrialised capitalism and militarism have unleashed. Rosa meets a devastating and violent end in January 1919, but her legacy and writings are vindicated with every fresh global crisis. Meanwhile the SPD party of Germany won't stop growing, and there will be big bureaucratic changes and opportunities for the politically ambitious.…also an oddly prescient rant about the demise of the Starmer premiership of the UK at the time of recording, early summer 2026, but look sorry not sorry, been carrying this around for a while. ++++++

The UK has a new prime minister, Andy Burnham, who replaced Keir Starmer after he resigned just two years due to general lack of support. On today's show, guest hosts, Adrienne Pagac and Pete Ramand, are in conversation with David Jamieson about British politics, the future of the Labour left, and how all this corresponds to US politics. Burnham promises to transform the UK economy, but he inherits all the same problems that plagued Starmer's time in office. Many consider Burnham to be on the “soft left” of the Labour Party, but there are concerns that Burnham and his new team will liquidate the welfare state and funnel state funds into the arms industry.  Where does this leave the Labour left? Jamieson says the Labour Party has become very centralized as neoliberalism and regional inequality fracture voters, potentially pushing the left out of the party or into the Green Party. Jamieson says that the treatment of democratic socialists by the US Democratic Party is similar to the treatment of Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. He's noticed a growing hysteria about democratic socialist candidates, but reflects that voters want authenticity and independent politicians. They also discuss the phenomena of New Labour under Tony Blair, Burnham's appointments like former defense secretary, John Healey, the US's interference in UK politics, figures on the far right, and more.

In the magazine this week, James Heale writes that Kemi Badenoch was in an upbeat mood when she addressed her troops last week. ‘This time last year,' she told the 1922 Committee, ‘people said Jenrick was taking over the party, Starmer was steady and Farage would be the next prime minister. A year later, Rob is under police investigation, Starmer has resigned and Farage is not even an MP.'It is a reminder of how quickly the wheel of politics can turn. So what is Badenoch's grand plan for taking on Burnham?Also today, No. 10 North is officially open for business – but has anyone really thought it through?Noa Hoffman speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.

Today, Andy Burnham has announced the return of the £2 bus fare cap in most of England - taking effect from January 2027. Bus fares had initially been capped at £2 in 2023 by the Conservatives, and was later increased to £3 by Keir Starmer. Andy Burnham has reversed the Starmer policy, but how will it be funded?And, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, one of the first and most senior Labour politicians to pubilicly call for Keir Starmer to go, is expected to join Andy Burnham's government.

Today's bad idea is a pervasive political myth: the notion that what really matters at election time is political leadership. David talks to political scientist Jane Green about why leaders are less important than they – and we – tend to think. What does shape how people choose to vote?

//The Wire//2300Z July 21, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: HOUTHIS ANNOUNCE EMBARGO OF SAUDI OIL TANKERS. LARGE SCALE BOMBINGS OF IRAN CONTINUE. ANDY BURNHAM ASSUMES OFFICE AS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER. STABBING REPORTED AT CHURCH IN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East : The war continues as before with a new series of attacks taking place overnight, with CENTCOM conducting their 7th wave of airstrikes within Iran since the break of the ceasefire. In Jordan, the Tower 22 Base was struck again, with Iranian ballistic missiles targeting an aircraft hangar as well as a warehouse.Bahrain: Significant Iranian targeting continued with the Iranians striking the electrical substation powering an Amazon data center. The data center itself was not hit, but the center remains offline due to the power source being cut.Black Sea: The targeting of oil tankers by both Ukraine and Russia has continued, with concerns growing regarding the wider threats to petroleum infrastructure. Yesterday, Kazakhstan halted all shipments of oil through their pipelines that eventually arrive at the Russian oil terminals on the Black Sea, due to the threats presented by Ukrainian drones.Ireland: This morning a stabbing attack was reported at Holy Cross Church in Tramore, Wateford. One woman was stabbed at the altar shortly before Mass began, with the assailant fleeing the scene before being detained a short distance from the church. The victim remains hospitalized with serious wounds following the attack.United Kingdom: Yesterday Andy Burnham formally transitioned into the role of Prime Minister. This afternoon, he authorized the use of British bases by the United States to conduct strikes in Iran, marking a more public foreign policy departure from Starmer's government.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Red Sea, things are not going so well. Last night, the Houthis claimed to have partially closed the Bab el Mandeb Strait, threatening another major global maritime chokepoint. This announcement has been implemented as a blockade of Saudi ports, with the Houthi's claiming that all ships bound for Saudi Arabia will be attacked. The status of other ships just passing through the area remains unclear.As a reminder, the US already fought the Houthis, specifically over their closure of the Bab el Mandeb Strait last year. That conflict resulted in a de facto Houthi victory after the US ceased the bombing campaign without securing the defeat of the Houthis, and many shipping companies have, to this day, continued to avoid the Red Sea route altogether. So far, the Houthi's have not struck any vessels however reports suggest they may have turned a couple of tankers around without missiles being fired.The Houthis are perhaps an even more substantial threat to the region than most realize, simply due to the weapons available to them. Unlike Iran, which has the capability of hitting individual ships in the comparatively cramped Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis have historically had to rely on the sledgehammer approach. It is true that the Houthis will strike vessels in their backyard with relative ease, but their main target is the Saudi port of Yanbu, far to the north on the east coast of the Red Sea. From that distance, the Houthis can't hit individual ships...they will be hitting the oil terminal itself. That's comparatively worse than striking just one ship; the Houthi targeting efforts are a much more blunt instrument than observed with Iran, and as a result they are more likely to cause damage that lasts a long time. This was already demonstrated by their previous targeting efforts during the short-lived war last year. The Houthis can also hurt the United States more directly too...Camp Lemonnier in Djbouti is just 70 miles away from Yemen, on the other side of the Strait. This has historically been a non-combat post, but this can change in an instant, if the belligerents choose to escalate this war to include two continents.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Convidado: Murilo Salviano, repórter correspondente da TV Globo e GloboNews em Londres. Nesta segunda-feira (20), o Reino Unido deu início a um novo capítulo de sua conturbada história política recente. O novo líder do partido trabalhista Andy Burnham assumiu o cargo de primeiro-ministro britânico – ele é sétimo a ocupar o posto nos últimos dez anos. Ele substitui Keir Starmer, que esteve à frente do partido em 2024, quando os trabalhistas conseguiram uma vitória esmagadora na eleição nacional, mas viu sua popularidade derreter nos últimos 23 meses: diante de uma inflação alta e de um escândalo que envolve o caso Epstein, sua rejeição atingiu 74%, a pior de um premiê britânico nos últimos 50 anos. Burnham ganhou o apelido de "Rei do Norte" devido à sua gestão muito bem avaliada como prefeito de Manchester e promete uma agenda mais popular – ele tem o desafio de barrar o crescimento da extrema-direita no país, que se saiu melhor nas eleições regionais britânicas de maio deste ano. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com Murilo Salviano, que fala diretamente de Londres. Murilo explica os pilares da derrocada de Starmer e da ascensão de Burnham. Ele descreve também a "gambiarra" política que levou o "Rei do Norte" ao centro do poder britânico.

Andy Burnham has continued to announce his new cabinet: John Healey as Chancellor, Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary and Shabana Mahmood remains in the Home Office. Now ten of Starmer's most trusted ministers have either been sacked or quit. What could come of Angela Rayner? And what could be the consequences of having some of the most powerful people in Labour on the backbenches? Natasha Feroze speaks to Noa Hoffman & James Heale.

This week Tommy and Ben catch up on the latest in Iran negotiations, react to Keir Starmer's resignation, and continue to celebrate World Cup fandom.First they walk through the text of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding — because now it's clear why Trump didn't want anyone to see it. The guys break down everything Iran got, including sanctions relief and billions in unfrozen assets, compared to the very vague assurances the US received that Iran won't build a nuclear weapon and will keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Then they go over the latest negotiations in Switzerland, disagreements over what was agreed to, and why the war in Lebanon remains the biggest threat to its success. Across the pond, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation after Andy Burnham's decisive by-election win, setting up the UK to have its seventh prime minister in ten years. The guys also dive into Israel's increasingly close and diplomatically fraught relationship with Somaliland, and Colombia's razor-thin runoff election, which was won by a right-wing candidate who calls himself “El Tigre.” And finally, the World Cup remains an absolute joy — Ben and Tommy go over some of their favorite moments like underdog Cape Verde holding Spain and Uruguay to draws, Scottish fans taking over Boston and Miami, and Uzbek fans riding into a Houston stadium on horseback. At the end of the show, Ben speaks to Washington Post columnist Rana Ayyub about the Cockroach Movement in India, and how the war with Iran has spilled over into the country's politics.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Ten years after the Kremlin helped tip the very close Brexit vote, Nigel Farage is shockingly leading UK polls. The Putin fanboy, bankrolled by a crypto-king in Thailand tied to Putin's propaganda machine, is making false promises like Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Farage and his billionaire backers want to install a Kremlin Trojan horse to dismantle the rule of law, enrich themselves and the transnational pedo-trade, and wage war on marginalized communities. The waves of hate violence plaguing the UK right now will only get worse.  Like Keir Starmer's time as Prime Minister, Putin is a dead man walking. While his puppets try to break the West, Ukraine is turning Crimea into the world's largest Russian prisoner-of-war camp. Supply lines are being cut, and Russians are fleeing the peninsula. Joining Gaslit Nation with a special message from Ukrainians and to discuss his recent trip to Ukraine is American veteran Ken Harbaugh, along with Russian mafia-expert and Gaslit Nation wing-woman extraordinaire, Olga Lautman, of the Trump Tyranny Tracker.

The e-mails, which date back to October of 2015, show that Bannon, who was then the vice-president of Cambridge Analytica, an American firm largely owned by the U.S. hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, was in the loop on discussions taking place at the time between his company and the leaders of Leave.EU, a far-right nationalist organization. The following month, Leave.EU publicly launched a campaign aimed at convincing British voters to support a referendum in favor of exiting the European Union. The U.K. narrowly voted for the so-called Brexit in June, 2016.
