Podcasts about Starmer

Brea Starmer, founder of Lions and Tigers, challenges the outdated workplace model that measures face time over impact. Drawing from her experience as a mother of three running a company during COVID-19, she introduces the concept of "highest and best use"—a real estate framework adapted to human potential that prioritizes outcomes over hours logged. Starmer reveals why 11.5 million workers quit their jobs between April and June 2021 alone, with burnout as the number one driver and women of color disproportionately affected. She unpacks how traditional workplace structures fail parents, especially mothers, who navigate staccato schedules dictated by sick kids, COVID testing, and survival-mode 15-minute work chunks. Through Lions and Tigers' model of flexibility, inclusive culture, and organizational clarity, Starmer demonstrates why companies that center their people's actual needs achieve better collective results—and why the eight-hour workday built for a different era must be dismantled.

What do a Democratic Socialist in New York and a Green Party leader in Britain have in common? Charisma, clarity, and, apparently, a hatred of high bus fares. In this episode of Mid-Atlantic, host Roifield Brown and the transatlantic panel tackle the political rise of Manami in NYC and Zack Polanski in the UK—two left-wing politicians who've gone from fringe to front page without watering down their message.Manami's victory over Andrew Cuomo to become New York's mayor-elect wasn't just an electoral upset; it was a messaging masterclass. Free buses, city-run groceries, and rent freezes—policies that many establishment Democrats wouldn't touch with a barge pole—landed him in City Hall with a wave of grassroots energy and a TikTok-savvy machine behind him. Meanwhile, across the pond, Polanski's strategic reframing of the Green Party—away from "tree hugger" stereotypes and toward a hard-hitting, cost-of-living political vehicle—has seen the party overtake the Lib Dems and Tories in membership numbers.But is this revival of unapologetic leftism a fleeting blip, or a realignment? Can charisma and clear messaging finally outgun billionaire-backed centrism and weary technocracy? Roifield is joined by regulars Denise Hamilton (Houston), Steve O'Neill (London), Cory Bernard (Manchester), and Mike Donahue (Los Angeles) to unpack what the centre-left keeps missing—and why hope might just be the most radical policy of all.Five Standout Quotes:“If people feel seen, they feel heard, they feel valued, they will support you—and they will vote for you.” – Denise Hamilton“Corbyn always sounds like someone's just stolen his lunch.” – Corey Bernard“Even if you elect Bernie Sanders president, how effectual is he going to be? But the mayor of New York—he can change things.” – Mike Donahue“Polanski just sounds like he enjoys it. Same message as Corbyn, but without the gloom.” – Steve O'Neill“We've embraced a cynicism and a hopelessness that Manami rejected—and people gravitated to it.” – Denise HamiltonPanel Social Handles:Denise Hamilton: @officialdhamMike Donahue: [@MichaelDonahue on Bluesky]Steve O'Neill: [@SteveZeroONeill] – Mostly on LinkedInCory Bernard: @168PolymerNext Episode Tease:Will the UK general election be a bloodbath for Labour—or will Starmer's centrism survive the green wave?

Starmer doesn't rule out stealth tax raid on incomes, the Russian spy ship pointing lasers at our fighter planes, and why are people riding their bikes naked?!

Neither Kemi Badenoch nor Keir Starmer performed very well at Prime Minister's Questions: both fluffed their lines early on. Badenoch managed to suggest the Budget had already happened, while Starmer got lost during an attack on Tory economic policy. But while Badenoch was back to the kind of poor delivery that had previously upset so many of her Conservative colleagues, Starmer still came off worse.The most interesting exchange was with Reform Chief Whip Lee Anderson, who goaded Starmer to ‘be a man' and ensure that all the cancelled local elections go ahead next year. This facilitated an exchange about recent allegations regarding Nigel Farage's behaviour when he was a schoolboy. Is this one going to follow the Reform leader around? And how do you actually pronounce ‘Farage'?Lucy Dunn speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

El gobierno laborista de Keir Starmer presentó este lunes la reforma más dura de la política de asilo desde la posguerra. Entre las medidas que contempla son deportaciones más rápidas, alargar de cinco a veinte años el plazo para obtener la residencia permanente, establecer un cupo anual máximo de refugiados, revisar periódicamente la seguridad de los países de origen y confiscar dinero y joyas a los solicitantes para sufragar su alojamiento y los trámites burocráticos. Además de eso, Starmer amenaza con restringir visados a países, sobre todo africanos, que se nieguen a aceptar repatriaciones. La reforma llega cuando las entradas ilegales en la Unión Europea han caído casi un 25% en el último año, pero en el Reino Unido las solicitudes de asilo superaron las 100.000 en 2024, muchas de ellas cruzando el Canal de la Mancha en pequeñas embarcaciones. El coste de alojar a unos 30.000 solicitantes en hoteles alcanzó los 2.000 millones de libras el año pasado, un gasto que ha disparado el rechazo ciudadano y el ascenso de Reform UK, el partido de Nigel Farage. Dentro del Partido Laborista la propuesta ha desatado una tormenta. Decenas de diputados de izquierda amenazan con votar en contra y esto podría provocar una gran crisis interna dentro del laborismo. El anuncio británico se inscribe en una ola de endurecimiento de la política de asilo que recorre toda Europa, y que pone en cuestión el sistema internacional de asilo tal y como se concibió en 1951. Aquel régimen nació para proteger a disidentes del bloque soviético y como respuesta moral al rechazo a los judíos en los años treinta. Setenta y cinco años después, con 1.000 millones de personas deseando emigrar y viajes muy asequibles, la figura del refugio político se utiliza como coartada para la inmigración económica. La mayoría de solicitudes se rechazan, pero los procesos duran años y permiten permanecer en el país mientras se resuelven. Los críticos señalan que acoger a los refugiados a miles de kilómetros de sus países resulta carísimo, sirve sólo a los más jóvenes y genera rechazo entre los ciudadanos del país de acogida. La historia demuestra que los desplazados por un conflicto que se refugian en países vecinos con cultura y lengua similares regresan antes cuando se acaban los problemas en su país. Un refugiado en un país vecino es mucho más barato de sostener que en Europa o Estados Unidos donde los Gobiernos tienen que asignarles viviendas sociales y subsidios. Cada vez más voces piden replantearse el modelo desde cero. Reforzar la ayuda a ACNUR y a los países de primera acogida, procesar las solicitudes en terceros países seguros (como propone Giorgia Meloni con Albania) y separar con claridad el asilo político genuino de la inmigración laboral. Europa necesita mano de obra por el envejecimiento de su población, pero debe poder decidir cuánta, de dónde y con qué perfil. Eso con el sistema actual es imposible ya que se emplea como puerta trasera para la inmigración irregular. Con el plan de Starmer y los que se están adoptando en otras partes de Europa, el debate ya no es si el actual régimen de asilo está agotado, sino cómo sustituirlo.

#Starmer #Labour #UKPolitics #LabourCrisis #JonGaunt #AndyBurnham #CliveLewis #ReformUK #Greens  Keir Starmer is finished. The most unpopular Prime Minister in British history has not only lost the country – it now looks like he's lost his own party too. Around 80 Labour MPs are plotting to get rid of him, and Clive Lewis is even willing to give up his seat so Andy Burnham can swoop in and run for Leader. Next week's Budget will be another nail in Starmer's coffin. The real question now isn't just whether Starmer can survive – it's whether Labour itself can survive, with the Greens and Reform surging and voters turning their backs in disgust. Join Jon Gaunt  and have your say: Is Starmer toast? Is it curtains for Labour too?  #Starmer #Labour #Politics #UKPolitics #LabourCrisis #JonGaunt #AndyBurnham #CliveLewis #Budget2025 #ReformUK #Greens #StarmerCrisis #StarmerOut #LabourMPs #PoliticalShow #LiveStream #Gaunty  Starmer, Labour, UK politics, Labour crisis, Jon Gaunt, Andy Burnham, Clive Lewis, Budget 2025, Reform UK, Greens, Starmer crisis, Starmer out, Labour MPs, political livestream, UK government, Labour leadership, Gaunty, live.

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-fifth episode, we explore the Chronocentrism Fallacy, starting with Trump going overboard announcing the Gaza ceasefire, a Trump fan saying when he thinks America was great the first time, and Eisenhower responding to Adlai Stevenson's campaign slogan.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Thatcher in 1980 claiming everything's great, Cameron in 2016 claiming everything's great, Lord Bates claiming everything will soon be great, Boris Johnson claiming when you look back in 30 years' time everything now will seem great, and Starmer claiming he will make everything great.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Frasier, Quantum Leap, and Modern Family.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the recently released Epstein emails.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft185 Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy.

#Starmer #Labour #UKPolitics #MigrationCrisis #Asylum #JonGaunt #LiveShow #deport  Britain is facing a political and social crisis — from the asylum and immigration system to pressure on housing and public services.  The Home Secretary's latest speech has ignited a fierce backlash, with Labour MPs describing parts of the Government's approach as "cruel" and "inhumane". A rebellion is now openly brewing inside the party. And yet… where is the Prime Minister? In tonight's live show, we ask the questions millions are wondering:  

Det mullrar i den brittiska inrikespolitiken. Problemen hopar sig för Labour och partiet gör nu en skarp gir i migrationspolitiken. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Brittiska Labour har gått från en historisk jordskredsseger i valet 2024 till usla förtroendesiffror och besvärande uppgifter om interna maktstrider. Vad ligger bakom den snabba förändringen av den brittiska spelplanen och kommer premiärminister Keir Starmer kunna behålla greppet om regeringsmakten? Partiets förslag till omläggning av den brittiska migrationspolitiken visar hur Labour försöker behålla kommandot i en fråga där högerpopulistiska Reform UK med stor framgång utmanar de traditionella statsbärande partierna. Samtidigt som de nya förslaget bäddar för kritik från motsatt håll. Nu väntar alla på nästa stora politiska prövning för Starmer när förslaget till ny budget ska presenteras om en vecka. Samtidigt briserar skandalen runt BBC och Trumps hot om stämning av public service-bolaget. En händelse som också plockats upp i den redan kokande brittiska inrikespolitiken. Medverkande: Nina Benner, Londonkorrespondent. Andreas Liljeheden, Brysselkorrespondent. James Savage, journalist och vd för The Local. Programledare: Parisa HöglundProducent: Therese Rosenvinge

In den USA geht Donald Trump seit Beginn seiner zweiten Amtszeit mit Anschuldigungen, Milliardenklagen und gekürzten Geldern gegen kritische Medien im eigenen Land vor. Nun treffen die Drohungen des US-Präsidenten erstmals auch ein europäisches Medium: die BBC in London. Vordergründig geht es um einen journalistischen Fehler in einer Doku über den Präsidenten. Aber was steckt dahinter? Mit ARD-Korrespondent Christoph Prössl schauen wir, wie die Debatte um die BBC derart hochkochen konnte und, wie sich Medien gegen solche Angriffe wappnen können.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the White House's growing anxiety over the economy, the nationwide crackdown on illegal migrant truck drivers, new DHS surges into sanctuary cities, the rise of openly socialist leadership on the West Coast, and escalating tensions with China in the Pacific. White House Softens Tariffs as Prices Rise: President Trump acknowledged that tariffs may be affecting consumers and announced lower rates on coffee, beef, bananas, and other staples. Prices have soared due to weather, crop disease, and global demand rather than tariffs alone. Bryan explains that the cuts signal the administration's concern that working families are still struggling and that midterm voters may blame the GOP if the economy does not improve soon. Families Fear the Cost of Children: A new American Family Survey found that seventy percent of Americans believe raising kids has become too expensive. Bryan warns that this trend threatens the nation's future and highlights the connection between economic strain and family planning decisions. Crackdown on Unsafe Migrant Truck Drivers: The White House pressured California to revoke seventeen thousand driver's licenses issued to migrants who often cannot read English or safely operate heavy trucks. Some judges in Washington blocked the rule on procedural grounds, creating legal limbo. Bryan notes that until courts rule, untrained foreign drivers will remain on American highways. DHS Surge Operations Expand: Federal officers have flooded Charlotte, North Carolina, where one in five residents is foreign born. The move mirrors earlier crackdowns in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, and Washington, where crime dropped after DHS deployments. Bryan says New Orleans is next. Catholic Bishops Clash with the White House: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops accused the administration of racism and fearmongering. Border czar Tom Homan responded that securing the border saves lives and that the Church should focus on its own scandals. Socialists Rise in Seattle and Los Angeles: Seattle elected an openly socialist mayor who supports abolishing the police under a communist economic system. In Los Angeles, another socialist candidate is challenging Mayor Karen Bass. Bryan connects these victories to a wider ideological battle inside the Democratic Party, where figures like Obama and Clinton now embrace democratic socialism while voices like Bill Maher warn against it. Democrats Plan Supreme Court Expansion: Longtime strategist James Carville confirmed that the party intends to expand the Supreme Court to thirteen justices once Democrats regain the presidency and Congress. He expects the party to remove the filibuster for that purpose, declaring the fight against Trump a national emergency. GOP Infighting Grows: Trump attacked Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie over comments about Epstein files and personal issues. Bryan urges conservatives to stop the internal battles as socialist movements gain ground nationwide. China Leverages Rare Earths and Military Power: Beijing is delaying rare earth shipments and failed to buy U.S. soybeans despite promises. A shortage of yttrium is emerging, although a U.S. company in Indiana will begin refining it next month. Meanwhile, China sent Coast Guard ships into Japanese waters and unveiled a new aircraft carrier, signaling rising tensions in the Pacific. Trump's Narco-Terror Operation Continues: Another drug boat was destroyed in the Pacific under Operation Southern Spear. Critics in the U.K. claim the strikes violate international law, though the White House says cartels qualify as narco-terrorists and legitimate targets. Britain's Leader Shifts Right on Immigration: Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced sweeping new restrictions, ending cash allowances for asylum seekers, requiring work, and imposing twenty-year waits for permanent residency. Bryan notes the political pressure building across Europe as voters demand tougher borders. Saudi Crown Prince to Visit Washington: The White House may sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, though U.S. intelligence fears technology theft and regional imbalance with Israel. Economic deals may also emerge as Riyadh seeks to follow through on earlier promises. Good News from Southeast Asia: Trump brokered a fresh ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after border clashes. Cambodia is moving closer to the United States, granting new access to a key naval base and pushing out Chinese crime networks.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump tariff cuts grocery prices, American Family Survey cost of children, migrant truck drivers CDL revocation, DHS Charlotte surge, Tom Homan Catholic bishops border, Seattle socialist mayor police abolition, Los Angeles socialist candidate Rae Huang, James Carville Supreme Court expansion, GOP infighting Epstein files, China rare earth yttrium shortage, Senkaku Islands China Coast Guard, Operation Southern Spear drug boats, UK asylum overhaul Starmer, Saudi Arabia F-35 visit, Cambodia Thailand ceasefire

#JonGaunt #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #SmallBoats #MigrationCrisis #IllegalMigration #AsylumSystem #UKPolitics #ReformUK #PayToLeave #UKLiveShow Tonight at 6:30pm, we go LIVE to break down the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's new Commons statement on her plans to "fix" the small boats crisis. Is this too little, too late from Starmer's government? Are these policies really bold, or simply Reform UK lite? Jon Gaunt will analyse the major announcements, the backlash inside Labour's own ranks, the reactions from Reform and Conservatives, and whether these measures stand a chance of reducing illegal Channel crossings. We'll also ask the explosive question the government seems to be avoiding:

We sit here bravely tackling listener questions hurled at us from every corner of the globe — completely unprepared and slightly afraid. We don't see them until we hit record, which explains a lot. As for Grzegorz's name, William took one look and noped out like a man dodging a spelling bee in Polish. He respects names too much to turn them into interpretive dance.Paul, from Queensland, Australia places the first question for discussion today- “Nothing is morally right or morally wrong. Right, wrong and morality don't even exist in some people's eyes. The world is not just meaningless, but also absurd. What do you think?”William kicks things off by declaring humans are the cosmic equivalent of a plot twist no one saw coming — absurd creatures who somehow made it this far despite centuries of questionable decisions and poor impulse control. Stuart zooms out and says, “Nope, it's all absurd,” pointing to algae that spent two billion years evolving and making oxygen like the world's slowest intern. William agrees, but finds beauty in the chaos — Earth's lucky lottery of moon tilts, Jupiter's debris vacuuming, and rotational chill make life both ridiculous and miraculous. Stuart questions morality itself, wondering if it's just a group project we all pretend to understand. William, meanwhile, marvels at humanity's obsession with upgrades, even though we're all headed for the same existential exit — suggesting we cherish the people who make the absurdity worthwhile.Grzegorz, from Opole, Poland sets the next question- “Is Reform UK really a political party outside of the UK establishment?”William shuts it down with a firm “No. End of episode,” like a man refusing to debate whether water is wet. Stuart's intrigued that the question came from someone outside the UK — or maybe just someone pretending to be exotic while living in Croydon. He agrees: Reform UK isn't some rebellious outsider, no matter how many pub speeches say otherwise. William adds, noting Farage is basically the Hogwarts head boy of the establishment — all robes, no magic. He vents that Farage is a walking cartoon of privilege, somewhere between a monocle and a Boris Johnson impersonator. Starmer, he concedes, has made some eyebrow-raising moves, but at least he doesn't look like he was grown in a Westminster petri dish.What do you make of this discussion?

The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May. 1015-1030 Sadanand Dhume examines the shift in US foreign policy, where President Trump now favors Pakistan and its military chief, General Munir. This followed intense combat between India and Pakistan after a horrific terrorist attack. When the US mediated a ceasefire, Trump took credit, which embarrassed Indian Prime Minister Modi. Pakistan cleverly thanked Trump and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, securing his favor over India. India now needs a trade deal. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1030-1045 Professor Matthew Graham discusses the most powerful black hole flare ever recorded, which shone like 10 trillion suns from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Material falling into the supermassive black hole forms an accretion disc, releasing intense radiation. This 10-billion-year-old event was detected using computer cameras. Graham explains that these black holes are ancient "seeds" of galaxies, acting as cosmic vacuum cleaners, such as when a large star gets shredded. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham. 1/2 1045-1100 Professor Matthew Graham details his needs for future black hole research, prioritizing a network of space telescopes with large fields of view, like the Roman space telescope, for perpetual, multi-wavelength monitoring of the sky. This "audit of the cosmos" will improve detection speed and timing. Graham encourages students to pursue black hole work, noting it is a vibrant growth area, viewing black holes as the enduring future product of the universe. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham.2/2 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Veronique de Rugy discusses the cost of living, critiquing the administration's claims that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper, citing the use of shrinkflation and item removal. She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further. De Rugy advocates for deregulation and the elimination of tariffs (which she confirms are a tax) as the necessary supply-side solution to the affordability crisis. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. 1115-1130 Conrad Black assesses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's new budget as anti-climactic, failing to deliver promised growth or definitive decisions on controversial policies like pipelines. However, the budget was sensible and conciliatory, avoiding conflict with the opposition, Washington, and Alberta. Carney, adopting a diplomatic style akin to a central banker, did offer serious encouragements to alleviate the housing shortage. Guest: Conrad Black. 1130-1145 Scott Winship analyzes 50 years of US median earnings, preferring the MACPI to accurately adjust for cost of living. He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%. Winship disputes populist theories that income inequality or the China shock are the main villains, noting that the worst period for young men was 1973–1989, predating those factors. Guest: Scott Winship.1/2 1145-1200 Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The arrival of the US carrier Gerald Ford signals an escalating commitment to possible military solutions against Maduro's regime in Venezuela. Maduro has ordered a Cuban-style guerrilla defense, but analysts worry more about "anarchization"—wreaking havoc—if he falls. Removing Maduro and lifting sanctions could lead to necessary refinancing of Venezuela's $170 billion debt. Guest: Evan Ellis. 1/4 1215-1230 Peru faces severe political instability, evidenced by six presidents in two years and detentions for corruption. Transitional leader José Heresi is tackling rising organized crime, including a 36% jump in homicides, through a state of emergency. Meanwhile, China maintains deep-seated influence, controlling key sectors like mining, oil, and the deep-water port of Chancay. Guest: Evan Ellis.2/4 1230-1245 Honduras is holding a high-stakes, single-round election where the outcome could determine if the country returns to alignment with Taiwan or shifts to China. Election observers noted improper pressure and concerns about meddling by the ruling Libre Party. Separately, Argentina's economy under Milei is strengthening, backed by a significant US currency swap and political support. Guest: Evan Ellis. 3/4 1245-100 AM COP 30 is largely "political theater" with commitments insufficient to address climate change. Estimates suggest the crucial 1.5-degree global temperature increase will be reached by 2030. While there is increased international attention, funding remains inadequate; Brazil secured only $5.5 billion toward its $125 billion forest preservation goal. The plight of Amazonian indigenous peoples continues unaddressed. Guest: Evan Ellis.4/4 |

APAC stocks were pressured following the sell-off stateside, where tech was hit on valuation and China AI race concerns, while sentiment was also not helped by recent hawkish-leaning Fed rhetoric and mixed Chinese activity data.Chinese activity data was mixed, in which Industrial Production disappointed and Retail Sales marginally topped estimates, but both showed a slowdown from the previous, while Chinese House Prices continued to contract.US BLS said it is working on a plan to release the delayed data and stated, "We appreciate your patience while we work to get this information out ASAP, as it may take time to fully assess the situation and finalise revised release dates", according to WSJ.UK PM Starmer and Chancellor Reeves reportedly ditched budget plans to increase income tax rates, according to FT.European equity futures indicate a lower cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.3% after the cash market closed with losses of 0.8% on Thursday.Looking ahead, highlights include German Wholesale Price Index (Oct), French/Spanish CPI Final (Oct), EU Trade Balance (Sep), EU GDP Flash Estimate (Q3), Speakers including ECB's Cipollone, Elderson & Lane, Fed's Bostic, Schmid & Logan, Earnings from Swiss Re, Allianz & Siemens Energy.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

'I don't think this is about policy or politics. I think it's about Starmer's personality.'In light of the speculation around Labour cabinet ministers planning to oust Keir Starmer, Nigel Farage MP asks if the Prime Minister is toast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#JonGaunt #DenmarkModel #UKImmigration #MigrantCrisis #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #DeterDetainDeport Denmark has shown the world how to get control — tough rules, fast decisions, real deterrence. Their message is simple: DETER, DETAIN, DEPORT. And it works. So here's the big question: Why won't Keir Starmer copy it? Even Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has admitted she's studied Denmark's tactics, yet the UK Government still refuses to take the same tough stance. Meanwhile the numbers keep rising… Communities are under strain… Hotel use is sparking tension everywhere… And the system looks more unsustainable every week. Is the Government scared of backlash? Is Starmer held back by ideology and legal caution? Or is Westminster simply avoiding the tough decisions Denmark was willing to make? Jon Gaunt goes live to break down: What Denmark is doing that Britain won't Why their tough migrant model works What Shabana Mahmood really said about Denmark's system Why the Starmer Government is hesitating The growing pressure on councils, communities and hotels Whether the UK is heading for a breaking point And whether it's time for a real deterrent strategy in Britain No spin. No filters. Live debate.

A lot to digest since this week's main episode. I discuss Keir Starmer 'stabbing himself in the front' by letting his own paranoia give Wes Streeting to demonstrate he might be a better option (funnier at least).

Nel terzo trimestre la crescita dell'area euro, pari a +0,2%, ha mostrato forti differenze tra le principali economie: +0,6% in Spagna, +0,5% in Francia e +0,4% nei Paesi Bassi, mentre Germania e Italia restano ferme. Lo rileva la Bce, sottolineando la debolezza dell'export e dell'industria manifatturiera e una crescita trainata dai servizi. Molti osservatori chiedono che la ripartenza passi attraverso riforme e una manovra che favorisca la produttività. Ignazio Visco, governatore onorario di Bankitalia, in un'intervista a La Stampa ha ricordato che la legge di Bilancio serve a mantenere l'equilibrio dei conti, non a ridisegnare il sistema economico. Le vere priorità, secondo Visco, sono riforme strutturali, investimenti in produttività, formazione e partecipazione al lavoro, con politiche attive per sostenere occupazione femminile, giovanile e integrazione degli immigrati, in un Paese che nei prossimi 25 anni perderà sette milioni di persone in età lavorativa. Interviene Carlo Cottarelli, economista e direttore dell'Osservatorio conti pubblici italiani Università CattolicaUk, economia in frenata e partito laburista nel caosNel terzo trimestre il Pil britannico cresce solo dello 0,1%, in calo rispetto allo 0,3% del trimestre precedente e sotto le attese. Il rallentamento rappresenta un problema per il governo laburista di Keir Starmer, alla vigilia della manovra d'autunno del 26 novembre, già contestata per l'aumento delle tasse e i tagli alla spesa. A pesare sui conti è soprattutto il crollo della produzione automobilistica: a settembre -28,6%, il dato peggiore dal 2020, legato anche a un cyber attacco che ha costretto Jaguar Land Rover a fermare per cinque settimane la produzione. La produzione di auto è scesa a 51 mila unità, il livello più basso dal 1952. La cancelliera dello Scacchiere Rachel Reeves ha promesso una manovra per rafforzare l'economia, ma il governo è in crisi di consensi, con disoccupazione al 5%, debito elevato e inflazione ancora alta. Intanto il Partito laburista scende nei sondaggi fino al quarto posto, alimentando voci di sfide interne alla leadership di Starmer. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Scaturro, Il Sole 24 Ore LondraL'Ecofin tassa i pacchi low cost: passo avanti contro l'ultra fast fashionL'Ecofin ha approvato l'abolizione delle esenzioni dai dazi per i pacchi extra-Ue di valore inferiore a 150 euro, misura che entrerà in vigore nel 2026, anticipando la data originaria del 2028. Italia e Francia, principali promotrici, la considerano un passo avanti contro la concorrenza sleale delle piattaforme di ultra fast fashion come Shein e Temu. La Commissione europea stima che oltre il 90% dei 4,6 miliardi di pacchi di basso valore arrivati in Europa nel 2024 provenga dalla Cina, in forte aumento rispetto ai 2,4 miliardi del 2023. L'obiettivo è riportare equità e sostenibilità nel settore moda, con un gettito stimato di uno o due euro a pacco. L'iniziativa ha ottenuto il sostegno delle associazioni italiane di categoria: secondo Luca Sburlati, presidente di Confindustria Moda, la tassazione è essenziale per la sopravvivenza del comparto tessile e abbigliamento, mentre Carlo Capasa, presidente della Camera nazionale della moda italiana, chiede anche norme più rigide sulla pubblicità e la trasparenza dei prodotti non conformi agli standard europei. In parallelo, il Mimit prepara un pacchetto di norme nazionali contro le piattaforme extra-Ue, inclusa una possibile tassa di 2 euro sui piccoli pacchi fino a due chili. Il commento è di Adriana Cerretelli, Il Sole 24 Ore Bruxelles

A bizarre briefing war has exploded in Westminster, with Wes Streeting accused of plotting a coup against Keir Starmer. Ed Balls and George Osborne analyse the ‘toxic culture' in Number 10: who was really behind the briefing, and has this ‘self-destructive' move inadvertently strengthened Streeting while fatally weakening the Prime Minister?Meanwhile, the BBC is in turmoil, with its Director General and Head of News resigning over the Donald Trump Panorama controversy. With George himself now tipped for the top job, the pair unpack the corporate governance collapse. And, can Donald Trump really win his $1 billion lawsuit against the British broadcaster?Finally, Ed and George turn to Donald Trump snubbing the G20 over his claims of a "genocide" in South Africa. They explore the deepening divisions in the MAGA movement over controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, and ask if this identity politics of the "woke right" is a brand that Nigel Farage is about to import to the UK.Thanks for listening.

There's universal consensus that the briefings from Number 10, warning of a leadership challenge from Wes Streeting and the conduct of "feral" Labour MPs, have rebounded badly on Starmer and those involved. Yet the briefings against key Labour figures are part of a pattern under Keir Starmer's leadership… even if he is the biggest victim of these operations and is now in greater danger.
