Podcasts about Starmer

High streets across the UK are being overwhelmed by betting shops. They gobble up £4.6 billion from punters every year - and local councils have almost no powers to block them.  Labour MP Dawn Butler's constituency, Brent East in North-West London, has 81 licensed enterprises alone. Jumping into “Betsy”, Dawn's prized old-banger, Coco is taken out and about in Willesden to see first hand how betting shops are popping up everywhere and hear what local residents think.  Along with 37 council leaders and mayors, Dawn is calling for a reform of the Gambling Act 2005 and a hike in gambling duties. With hints she might stand to be London mayor at the next election - could this be the first glimpse of her campaign? Then, Nish and Coco give their assessment of Keir Starmer and the European moral support squad's visit to the White House - is Putin still calling the shots on Ukraine? And as Starmer's Government slumps to an all-time low in the polls, Sadiq Khan has a spicy take on Labour's first year in power. But a glimmer of hope: is that a don't-call-it-a-wealth-tax on the horizon? On a less hopeful note, what on earth is going on with Labour's social media account? And Nish and Coco struggle to get their head around the new Gen Z additions to the Cambridge Dictionary. Is politics all “delulu with no solulu”?

Following a remarkable summit between the US and Russia in Alaska at the weekend, talks on ending the war in Ukraine continue at pace with a phalanx of European leaders accompanying Volodymyr Zelensky for major discussions with Donald Trump in Washington later today.Keir Starmer is part of an extraordinary show of support for the Ukrainian president, with fears that Trump is pushing Zelensky to accept the demands Vladimir Putin made in Friday's Anchorage summit - namely that he wants full control of the Donbas region as part of any peace settlement. Camilla and Tim explain what we know about how today's crucial discussions will play out, what a good outcome looks like for Ukraine, and whether Starmer's carefully nurtured relationship with Trump could be the key to a positive outcome.Producer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan Searle Hosted on Acast.

The big news today is of course the bilateral between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. We should know by around 8 p.m. whether they have successfully negotiated an end to the war in Ukraine – and at what cost – but in the meantime Westminster is abuzz with the news that Nigel Farage is going for the Lords.This morning the Times splashes on a letter from Nigel Farage to the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, in which he demands that Starmer allow him to nominate Reform peers to the House of Lords. It is not a totally unreasonable request either, with the Greens and the DUP represented in the chamber and Farage has gone after Starmer for ‘democratic disparity'. Former Reform spinner Gawain Towler joins James Heale and Lucy Dunn on the podcast to discuss the likelihood that we will see teal in the Lords soon. And who would they nominate? Would Gawain accept a peerage?Produced by Oscar EdmondsonBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Maga arrived in Chipping Norton this week, heralding an intense round of British diplomacy ahead of the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Friday. Ukraine is top of the agenda and both Prime Minister Keir Starmer and foreign secretary David Lammy have been doing their bit liaising between US vice-president JD Vance and President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders. In this week's episode, host George Parker is joined by Europe editor Ben Hall and Whitehall editor David Sheppard to discuss how the UK is playing its hand on the global stage and the role of soft power in its negotiations.

In today's International News Update with Nonn Botha:Germany, France, and Britain have written to the United Nations, warning they are ready to reinstate sanctions on Iran if Tehran avoids nuclear talks.UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer tells US President Donald Trump and other European leaders that support for Ukraine waiver, calling for stronger security guarantees.Stay ahead with detailed coverage, geopolitical analysis, and the global implications of these high-stakes diplomatic moves.

Suzi speaks to Tariq Ali about Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's new party — provisionally called Your Party — which has surpassed Labour's membership with over 650,000 sign-ups. Your Party calls for public ownership, redistribution, and a politics rooted in communities, unions and social movements. Starmer's Labour government has nothing for the population, but billions for war and complicity in genocide. Supporters see a historic opening for the Left; critics warn it could split the vote and hand power to Nigel Farage's far-right Reform UK, which has overtaken the weakened Tories. We get Tariq Ali's assessment of Your Party's politics, prospects, and perils. Then Flor Melendrez of CLEAN Carwash, the country's first car wash worker center, talks to Suzi about the escalating ICE raids on carwasheros across Southern California. ICE uses racial profiling to conduct suspicion-less stops, warrantless home raids, and illegal workplace actions. A new class action lawsuit demands an immediate halt to these violations of the 4th and 5th Amendments of the Constitution. Flor tells us how ICE raids are hitting carwasheros in their workplaces, and how these workers are organizing to defend their jobs and families. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Ukraine's President Zelensky has spent today with Keir Starmer at Number 10. This is in anticipation of tomorrow's Alaska summit between Presidents Trump and Putin – where European leaders will be notably absent. Zelensky's visit to the UK is designed to project an image of solidarity with Starmer, and European leaders in general – but does it really matter? And is Putin really closer to accepting a ceasefire? Tim Shipman and James Heale join Lucy Dunn to discussPlus – Tim talks about his article in the magazine this week, for which he spoke to George Finch, the 19 year old Reform councillor who is leader of Warwickshire County Council. There has been a perception that Labour lacked preparation for national government last year – how are Reform's own attempts going at governing at a local level?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

With Keir Starmer proving as unpopular and unpalatable to the left as he is to the right, Jeremy Corbyn's new - and as yet untitled - political party joins Reform UK in presenting a very real threat to Labour's chances of re-election in 2029.In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner talk to Ash Sarkar - journalist, Corbyn-supporter and co-founder of left-wing media organisation Novara Media - about how that new party could form a potentially fatal electoral pact for Starmer by teaming up with the Greens in 2029.As well as her dissatisfaction at Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, she also talks about how Reform have outflanked Labour on the left with talk of nationalising utility providers like Thames Water, and why she “previously underestimated Nigel Farage” but is now “taking him a lot more seriously”.We want to hear from you!

JonGaunt #UKNews #ImmigrationCrisis #BorderCrisis #Starmer #UKPolitics #SoftJustice #BenefitsScandal #LiveShow Are WE being pushed aside in our own country? Fresh figures show a staggering 40% of benefit claims now come from non — UK nationals yet the Government still treats them like VIPs while ordinary Brits are left struggling. Since Starmer came to power, over 50,000 illegals have entered the country, yet he somehow found the time to interrupt his holiday to meddle in Donald Trump's meeting… but can't be bothered to face the border crisis at home. Priorities, anyone? Meanwhile, the “justice” system is a bad joke. A man who exposed himself on the Tube walked free after playing the “mental health” card — and now police are hunting down the men who actually stopped him. This is soft justice gone mad. Hotels for illegals, excuses for offenders, benefits for those who've just arrived — while the rest of us are told to put up and shut up. Watch now as I break down the chaos, call out the hypocrisy, and ask: Do the feral, feckless, foreigners & freeloaders get priority over us? #JonGaunt #UKNews #ImmigrationCrisis #BorderCrisis #Starmer #IllegalImmigration #UKPolitics #SoftJustice #BenefitsScandal #LiveShow #BritishPolitics Jon Gaunt live, Jon Gaunt show, Do the feral feckless foreigners & freeloaders get priority over us, UK border crisis 2025, UK immigration crisis, illegal immigrants UK, benefits for immigrants UK, Starmer border crisis, Starmer immigration policy, illegal immigration Britain, UK hotels for migrants, benefits scandal UK, 40 percent benefits immigrants, Starmer Trump meeting, Starmer holidays, illegal immigrants in hotels, UK asylum seeker scandal, migrant benefits UK, mental health justice system UK, soft justice UK, Tube incident mental health, police hunt Tube heroes, two tier justice UK, migrants priority over citizens, Britain border security crisis This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Youth membership for the Labour party has collapsed – from 100,000 to just 30,000 under Starmer's leadership. The relationship between Labour HQ and its members on university campuses has soured over the past year, reaching boiling point following the prime minister's decision to conditionally recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire.Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Hattie Simpson.Read: Inside Labour students' revolt over Gaza Hosted on Acast.

Trump #NationalGuard #Starmer #UKPolitics #BorderCrisis #ElectionNow #SadiqKhan #JonGaunt While Donald Trump takes decisive action in Washington DC, deploying the National Guard to restore order, the UK drifts deeper into chaos under Sir Keir Starmer's watch. From the southern border to the streets of DC, Trump proves where there's a will, there's a way. Meanwhile, in Britain, the political establishment sits on its hands: Illegal crossings surge as the Channel remains unguarded. Crime spirals as shoplifters walk free and police focus on tweets, not streets. London is plagued with violent crime, yet we get painted signs on pavements warning of phone snatchers instead of officers catching them. Like Washington, our capital needs cleaning up – and then we must move through the rest of the UK. Communities protest outside migrant hotels as tensions mount. 650,000 people have signed a petition demanding an election. Mums are protesting. Vigilante groups are forming. The UK needs action now – troops at Dover, the Navy in the Channel, and real policing on our streets.

Since COVID, this podcast has pretty much been all about the questions that you, the listener, have sent in for Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow, the two co-hosts, to conversate around.In every episode, two of these listener questions are discussed, and by sheer coincidence, both questions in today's episode, have come from the same person; Elodie in Brittany, France.The first of Elodie's questions is as follows: “What does the ideal form of government look like, and why?”From this question the conversation begins with an exploration of what constitutes an ideal form of government. Stuart advocates for a system that is fair, progressive, and breaks free from traditional constraints, even referencing John Lydon's controversial support for Donald Trump, as an example of challenging the establishment. William counters with a stark reality check, arguing that Trump causes real harm to working people and asserting that no truly ideal government can exist, due to inherent human disagreement and dissent.The discussion evolves into a fascinating examination of power dynamics, with William drawing unexpected parallels between government structures and the music industry's shift from record label dominance to streaming platform control. Both hosts ultimately agree that effective governance requires balance - strong leadership willing to make difficult decisions, paired with robust opposition ready to find middle ground through reconciliation.The second question from Elodie is “How do names and labels influence our perceptions and reality?William expresses discomfort with gendering non-human objects like hurricanes and ships, leading to a broader conversation about the difference between grammatical gender and sexual identity. Stuart provocatively argues that society's obsession with labeling - whether by profession, sexuality, or identity - may actually hinder progress, rather than advance it.The hosts examine the LGBTQ+ movement through different lenses, with William viewing it as necessary activism against those who deny gender diversity, while Stuart questions whether continued focus on gender categories prevents true social evolution.What do you make of this discussion?

Some excitement on Threadneedle Street today after the Bank of England cut interest rates to 4 per cent. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has just voted five to four – after a revote – for what is the third cut this year. This takes interest rates back down to levels not seen since the beginning of 2023. Concerns about an increasingly slack labour market seem to have driven the MPC's decision.This sounds like good news – and Starmer will welcome it as such – but the Bank's apparent comfort with loosening policy in this context is baffling says Michael Simmons. Its own forecasts show inflation climbing back to 4 per cent by September – double the official target. If they're wrong, and inflation slips the leash again, it won't be brought back under control easily. This also coincides with yesterday's news that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecast that Rachel Reeves must find £50 billion of revenue or cuts if she is to return to the £9.9 billion of fiscal headroom she left herself in the spring. Are there any rays of light escaping from the black hole as we head towards autumn's Budget, or is it all gloom?Also on the podcast today: Trump's tariffs have come into effect across the world.

In today's episode Cecilia Rikap - an expert in the political economy of science and technology - speaks with Paris Marx (host of the excellent Tech Won't Save Us podcast). Cecilia and Paris discussed the subservient approach that Keir Starmer's Labour government has taken to tech policy and how willing Starmer has been to give tech companies whatever they want. They went on to discuss global dependence on US tech monopolists, and the concept of digital sovereignty in the context of the alliance between the Trump administration and Silicon Valley.

Another black hole has appeared in the country's coffers, but you can bank on your co-pilots to make sense of the pennies and cents.Allison thinks Starmer's new migrant swap deal with France is nonsense and nothing more than a secret legal route made by Labour under the pretence of benefiting the British tax payer.Whilst Liam says the ongoing cost of Labour's private school VAT increase is crippling families and private schools help the local community as well as the tax payers as they free up spaces in State schools.Stowing away this week is mum of 2 Emma, who shares the experience of an average family hit by Labour's VAT on private schoolsRead Allison: ‘Our complicit elite is to blame for every sexual assault by an illegal migrant' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/08/05/complicit-elite-blame-for-sex-assault-by-illegal-migrants/ |Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |‘Read Liam: Why the OBR is now warning about the "serious...unsustainable" fiscal cost of high immigration'https://liamhalligan.substack.com/p/why-the-obr-is-now-warning-about?r=rm4f5&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action |Read Liam: ‘Trump is wrong to pick a fight with Powell – but is right about interest rates' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/08/03/trump-wrong-pick-fight-powell-right-interest-rates/ |Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Need help subscribing or reviewing?

It's the big day for Starmer's one-in, one-out migrant deal with France. The scheme, which was agreed during the state visit last month, comes into effect today – but Yvette Cooper and other figures in Whitehall remain suspiciously evasive when it comes to putting a number on returns to France. Immigration is, of course, the problem of highest salience across the country, and made even more pressing by recent riots at migrant hotels, giving far-right opposition parties plenty of ammunition. Polling shows that 40 per cent of Reform supporters would consider voting for Labour next time if the number of small boat arrivals fell. So, will it work? Will it prove a better deterrent than, say, the Rwanda deal?This is undoubtedly a landmark agreement with France, and puts us in closer alliance with the French. Are there areas where we should be taking lessons from them – perhaps when it comes to our dealings with overseas terrorists, for example?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and Madeline Grant.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Another powerful remix from Chet Gardiner to drive home the message of the song I wrote just the other day, following announcements from Israel-supporting, war-profiteering leaders like Starmer, Carney, and Albanese that they might just consider recognizing the state of Palestine  --if there are any Palestinians left alive come September, and if Hamas gives up and the Palestinians who haven't been killed yet pretend effectively "play dead."

Today's podcast is a discussion with Socialist Students national Organiser Adam Gillman, about the Youth Walkout against Trump campaign. Go to www.socialiststudents.org.uk to get involved Socialist Students press release Buckingham Palace has booked in Donald Trump's state visit to the UK for 17-19 September. Already hundreds of students have signed up to walk out of their schools, colleges and universities on Wednesday 17 September – the day that Trump arrives in the UK – as part of the Youth Walkout Against Trump campaign. The youth walkouts, initiated by Socialist Students, will be a protest against the chaos that Trump's presidency represents for young people's futures globally. Students will be walking out to instead demand a future to look forward to – for free education, a decent job, and the guarantee of a high-quality and affordable home for all; for an end to climate crisis; and for a world free from war, oppression and exploitation. With Trump's visit taking place while Parliament is in recess, Keir Starmer and his Labour government will be hoping to escape the firing line of mass protests like those which Trump provoked during his first state visit to the UK in 2018. But the Youth Walkout Against Trump campaign will not let Labour off the hook. Adam Gillman, Socialist Students national organiser,said: “By building the youth walkouts, we can send a powerful message to young people and workers in America that we stand with them against Trump – not with Starmer, who issued the invite for this state visit.” TJ, a 19-year-old student in Leeds, said: “Labour has made cut after cut to young people's futures while bosses make record profits. now they roll out the red carpet for oppressive leaders abroad. I am building for these walkouts to give young people a way to show Starmer's Labour that this is not what the public voted for.” Lauren from Wrexham said: “Trump's visit to the UK is an opportunity to fight back; not just against him but the capitalist system he upholds, which puts the interests of big business above the lives of working-class people. These walkouts are a chance to stand up to Trump, as well as our government who welcome him with open arms, and all other leaders who uphold this corrupt system! That's why I'm building the youth walkouts against Trump.” Penelope, a college student from Preston, highlighted the common attacks facing students either side of the Atlantic: “Trump has cut funding to US universities, and has attacked students and staff standing up on issues like Palestine. Meanwhile Starmer's government here raises universities tuition fees and continues the rampant underfunding of all levels of education. By walking out when Trump visits we are showing that young people everywhere have to fight for a decent education, in a capitalist world where none of our hard-won rights can be taken for granted”. While the university term has come to a close, and schools and sixth forms break up next week, Socialist Students will be continuing to build the walkout campaign over the summer – including calling public youth meetings in towns and cities throughout the UK to discuss how young people can build the walkouts and get organised to win a decent future under this Labour government.

Nigel Farage hosted a press conference today as part of Reform's summer crime campaign 'Britain is lawless'. He unveiled the latest Tory defector: Leicestershire's Police & Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews. Amidst all the noise of whether crime in the UK is falling or not, plus the impact of migration on crime, is Reform's messaging cutting through? Would US Vice President agree with Farage's message that Britain is lawless? Vance is in the UK, staying in the Cotswolds, as part of his summer holiday. Tim Shipman and Lucy Dunn are joined by James Orr, associate professor at Cambridge University, and a friend of Vance's to talk us through the dynamics between Trump, Vance, Starmer, Lammy and Farage. Does Farage have Vance's ear? Plus: James explains the rationale behind the new Reform-linked think tank that he is leading, saying that the Centre for a Better Britain is about seeking to build a 'politics of national preference'.

The dispute between the British Medical Association (BMA) – a trade union for doctors – and the government continues, following the five-day strike by junior doctors. Doctors argue that pay is still far below relative levels from almost two decades ago, combined with the cost of study, the cost of living and housing crises, as well as challenging conditions within the NHS. Nevertheless, with an average pay rise of 5.4% for resident doctors this year, support for the strikes appears to be falling – both with the public at large, and within the BMA. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has hit back at the BMA and said they 'will not win a war with this government'. Tim Shipman and Lucy Dunn join Natasha Feroze to discuss whether the junior doctors are wise to pick a fight with Wes. First though they talk about the fallout from Keir Starmer's announcement of that the UK could recognise Palestinian statehood in September. Given the recognition is conditional, is Starmer's position the worst of both worlds?Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Natasha Feroze.

Today's Headlines: A gunman identified as 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura drove from Las Vegas to Manhattan and opened fire inside an office building at Park Avenue and 52nd Street, killing five people. Among the victims were Blackstone employee Wesley LePatner and NYPD officer Didarul Islam, both survived by their young families. Tamura, who left behind a letter referencing mental health struggles and possible CTE, also seriously injured an NFL employee before killing himself. Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer told Congress she'll plead the Fifth unless she gets immunity, advance questions, a courtroom win, and a temporary prison release to testify. The Oversight Committee said absolutely not. Separately, Trump tried to explain why he distanced himself from Epstein, claiming Epstein “stole” spa workers from Mar-a-Lago—possibly even Virginia Giuffre. And across the Atlantic, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that Britain will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN this fall unless Israel agrees to a long-term ceasefire, addresses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and revives two-state talks.

Originally coined in the 1990's, the Information Superhighway was a term used to describe digital communication systems that is mostly associated with then Senator and future Vice President Al Gore. The basic idea was to be able to provide access to information to all, no matter what the level of income was. With the explosion of the World Wide Web, essentially, the Internet became the information superhighway. Other resources describe the concept as “…directly connects millions of people, each both a consumer of information and a potential provider…” or “a route or network for the high-speed transfer of information…” or “something that will link every home or office to everything else – movies and television shows, shopping services…” And it changed the world. No one saw it coming, any more than people alive in 1890 anticipated the US Freeway system. With that in mind, today's news cycle gets some context as we talk about all the headlines fit for a Wednesday! We start off with trending news, including the historical 8.8 quake in far eastern Russia. Is it one of the biggest in history as is being claimed? Then we talk about the Trump EU tariff deal and what it means for geopolitics. Tim takes on hurricanes and the frequency of those over the last couple years, and it's probably for a reason you did not expect. We look at an immigration warning for America based on the July deal signed between Starmer and Macron. Finally, AI is spiritual. Sci-Fi has told us it is forever in the future, but truly, it's here -  and we still think it's in the future. A fertile ground for massive deception.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Tal Schneider and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Tuesday that the UK would recognize a Palestinian state in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the war and humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and meets several other conditions, including recommitting to a viable peace process. This is happening while, for the past several days, high-level representatives at a UN conference have urged Israel to commit to a Palestinian state. We discuss fallout to Starmer's announcement, the “New York Declaration” and which other states may follow suit in potentially recognizing Palestine this fall. In his announcement, Starmer said that Israel could forestall the recognition by reaching a ceasefire in Gaza, making clear that it will not annex the West Bank (or Gaza), and committing to a peace process that results in a two-state solution. This comes as there are increased rumors of plans to annex parts of the Gaza Strip. But are these rumors just a negotiation tactic? Schneider weighs in. At the NY two-state solution conference this week, Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, signed a declaration condemning for the first time Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, and calling on the Palestinian terror group to release all the hostages it is holding, disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Strip. Schneider and Freiberg explain that all may not be as laudable it seems. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
