First: a look ahead to President Trump's state visit next weekTransatlantic tensions are growing as the row over Peter Mandelson's role provides an ominous overture to Donald Trump's state visit next week.

Today, we look back at a very difficult week for Keir Starmer and the Government. Lord Mandelson's sacking as UK ambassador to the US comes only days after the Prime Minister reshuffled his cabinet and the resignation of his deputy, Angela Rayner. Starmer sacked Lord Mandelson after new information emerged about his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – a week before US President Trump's visit to the UK. Where does this string of trouble leave the party? And, why is there so much focus on one of Keir Starmer's main advisors?Adam is joined in the studio by Sienna Rodgers, Deputy Editor at The House Magazine and Patrick Maguire, Chief Political Commentator at the Times.You can take part in the Newscast census here - http://bit.ly/4mfhIgbYou can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

The fallout from Lord Mandelson's sacking continues. All eyes are now on Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney – could he take the fall for Mandelson's appointment? As Whitehall editor of the Sunday Times Gabriel Pogrund tells James Heale and Lucy Dunn, Mandelson and McSweeney's relationship stretches back to New Labour. But, Pogrund warns, as McSweeney lay the foundations for Labour's victory in 2024, losing him would mark a 'revolution in the Starmer project'.Plus: after a slew of bad news for the government, there was one Labour victory this week – at the annual Westminster dog of the year competition.

After the toe-curling revelations about Lord Peter Mandelson's connections with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the ambassador's departure seemed inevitable to all - with the exception of some in Downing Street. Questions about the speed of his sacking, what Sir Keir Starmer knew and why the New Labour grandee was hired in the first place will plague the prime minister as he prepares for US President Donald Trump's upcoming visit. Host George Parker is joined by FT columnist Stephen Bush, deputy opinion editor Miranda Green, and deputy political editor Jim Pickard to discuss the political fallout for the PM and look ahead at the two-horse race to replace deputy Labour party leader Angela Rayner.Want more?:Labour MPs are increasingly doubting Keir Starmer's leadershipWhy the Mandelson affair raises questions about Starmer's judgmentExit Mandelson — but not Number 10's problemsPeter Mandelson's back: the Prince of Darkness returnsBridget Phillipson faces Lucy Powell in final stage of Labour deputy leader raceFollow George on Bluesky @georgewparker.bsky.social and on X at @GeorgeWParker; Jim @PickardJE, Stephen @stephenkb and Miranda on @greenmirandaSign up to Stephen Bush's morning newsletter Inside Politics for straight-talking insight into the stories that matter, plus puns and tongue (mostly) in cheek.

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. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Was the United States aware of Israel's plans to conduct an Israeli airstrike targeting a meeting of Hamas’s top leaders in Qatar’s capital, Doha, on Tuesday? According to some reports, the leadership had gathered to discuss a new US-sponsored hostage-ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza. At recording time, reports still differ as to whether the attack was successful. Horovitz untangles what the US may have known of the attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back on Wednesday against mounting international criticism over Israel’s strike against Hamas leaders in Qatar the previous day. Can the furious Qataris and other Gulf States be assured that Israel will not repeat such an attack if the opportunity presents itself? President Isaac Herzog sat down on Wednesday in London with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for what local media described as a tense meeting. Horovitz delves into how Starmer, in the current anti-Israel climate, was asked to defend himself for meeting with the Israeli president. We also hear what message Herzog attempted to convey. The Munich Philharmonic, led by its future chief conductor, Israeli musician Lahav Shani, was disinvited from a performance on September 18 at the Flanders Festival Ghent, because Shani -- the current conductor of the Israel Philharmonic -- has not clearly disavowed the Israeli government. “We have chosen to refrain from collaboration with partners who have not distanced themselves unequivocally from that regime,” the organizers said in a statement. We discuss this incident, which occurred even as the Toronto International Film Festival screened a previously canceled documentary, “The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,” which charts how retired Israeli general Noam Tibon saved his family and others during the 2023 Hamas attack. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Following the disarray caused by Angela Rayner's resignation and the sacking of Peter Mandelson, Keir Starmer's latest reset is a mess.His newly reshuffled cabinet appears to be largely a response to the very real threat of Nigel Farage.

#KeirStarmer #Mandelson #Epstein #LabourParty #StarmerResign #UKPolitics #JonGaunt  Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure after more shocking revelations about Peter Mandelson's close ties to Jeffrey Epstein — the convicted paedophile he once called his “best pal.”  Security services, Labour insiders, and Lord Glasman all warned Starmer about Mandelson. He ignored them. Now, Mandelson has been sacked, and Starmer faces the toughest questions of his career: When did he know? What did he know? Why was Mandelson protected for so long?  Every day, Starmer's judgement and competence are in question. Is he fit to be Prime Minister? Jon Gaunt says NO.  Join us as we break down the scandal, the fallout, and what it means for the future of UK politics.

Two inevitable topics dominate the Matts discussion today - first up, the murder of US conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. It's a simply atrocious event but the reaction from many has been shameful. The Matts explain why Kirk was unusual in the MAGA organisation … and why his assassination matters so much. In the second half, the downfall of Peter Mandelson. The Matts ask why Starmer didn't act sooner, contrasting his sacking with that of Angela Rayner, and focus on the gravity of the offence. Ultimately, is this the point at which Keir Starmer loses his grip on power? Possibly.OFFER: Get The New World for just £1 for the first month.

In an entirely predictable turn of events, just twenty four hours after publicly backing the US Ambassador, Keir Starmer has now sacked Peter Mandelson after "additional information" came to light about the nature of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.Whilst it could, and perhaps should, mean that Mandelson's long political career has been brought to an end, it also reflects just as badly on the Prime Minister's judgement in appointing him in the first place, and then deciding to support him in the face of the Daily Telegraph's investigations. Camilla and Tim ask whether the Prime Minister, who so readily promoted his integrity whilst in opposition, still has any left.They also speak to the Chair of Republicans Overseas, Greg Swenson, about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, and ask whether conservative values are under attack.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Charlotte HocquetExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

For the third time in his political career, Peter Mandelson has fallen from high office in a scandal linked to rich and powerful men - this time it was his relationship with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that was his undoing. Lord Mandelson was sacked from his role as UK ambassador to the US after leaked emails showed him offering support for Epstein even after a sex offence conviction. Downing Street said the Prime Minister found 'the depth and extent of the relationship reprehensible.' But questions are now being asked about Keir Starmer's judgement in appointing him in the first place given Lord Mandelson has attracted - some would say courted - controversy throughout his career. He was widely considered to be doing a good job in Washington though, with a good rapport with President Trump. Is that relationship now damaged? On the latest episode of the Fourcast, Cathay Newman was joined by the Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika, the author and political journalist Ian Dunt who has written extensively on Lord Mandelson and the film-maker Richard Sanders who produced the Dispatches documentary that first revealed the friendship between the two men.

Lord Mandelson has been sacked as Ambassador to Washington over his ties to the sex offender Jeffery Epstein, just days before President Trump's state visit to the UK. We ask what questions this raises about the Prime Minister's own judgement.Also on the programme:The killer of Charlie Kirk - the American right-wing political activist and ally of President Trump - is still at large. We speak to a British student who debated him at Oxford earlier this year.And as the sequel to This is Spinal Tap is released - we ask whether it'll strike a chord, 40 years on from the iconic original.

Peter Mandelson, the so-called “Prince of Darkness” got sacked this morning, thanks to fresh revelations of his lengthy friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now all eyes are turning to his replacement … Could George Osborne himself be getting the call up for US Ambassador?He and Ed Balls consider what this sudden, inglorious end for Mandelson's diplomatic career means for the government. How could this affect the all-important upcoming state visit from US President Donald Trump, who himself is facing questions around his links to Epstein? It's not the only tumult for Keir Starmer's government, that was hoping to reset its way into a calmer period. The deputy leadership contest in the wake of Angela Rayner's resignation is underway. Ed and George consider if this may be a bigger problem for Starmer than was bargained for?

Kemi Badenoch has just skewered Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions on the topic of Peter Mandelson's association with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Badenoch learned from her mistakes last week and devoted all six of her questions to trying to get Mandelson fired as British Ambassador to Washington. She pointed out that the victims of Epstein had ‘called for Lord Mandelson to be sacked', and then asked whether Starmer had been aware ‘of this intimate relationship when he appointed Lord Mandelson to be our ambassador in Washington'.It was potentially her most convincing performance yet and she managed to pull together diffuse threads of world and domestic affairs into a focussed attack on the Prime Minister and his US ambassador's credibility.

On the podcast, Ben explains what makes a politician “populist”, the policies that might work for Labour, and why populist communication styles are more effective than Labour's current messaging.

Lord Mandelson has admitted there may be more embarrassing emails and correspondence between himself and the notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The US ambassador was speaking to The Sun the day after a birthday message emerged calling Epstein his “best pal“, and just as the Telegraph revealed details of a business deal that Mandelson worked on with Epstein AFTER he had been convicted. Keir Starmer has stood by his ambassador but failed to answer Kemi's PMQs question - did he know about these dealings when he originally signed off the job? Can Mandelson stay in his role? And why is Starmer determined to defend him.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

In this episode of Whitehall Sources, Calum Macdonald, Kirsty Buchanan (former adviser to Theresa May) and political strategist Jo Tanner unpack a turbulent week in Westminster and beyond.

Scotland's First Minister John Swinney has secured a rare audience in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump — a diplomatic coup that could shape both Scotland's international standing and the next Holyrood election.In this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff, Andy Maciver and Ayesha Hazarika break down:Why this Oval Office meeting is such a big win for Swinney's leadership.The Scotch whisky tariffs — Scotland's largest export industry is on the line. Could Swinney negotiate a breakthrough deal with Trump?How this plays into Swinney's election strategy: “standing up for Scotland” on the world stage.The SNP's shifting position on Donald Trump — from heavy criticism to pragmatic diplomacy.Whether this actually cuts through to ordinary Scots facing the cost of living crisis.The comparison with Keir Starmer: has Swinney managed to outmanoeuvre the Prime Minister on international diplomacy?We also explore the optics of Swinney's Washington trip, the political theatre around international diplomacy, and whether this moment really elevates him as Scotland's statesman.

The Matts get to grips with the turmoil of the last few days and use their meticulous political calculus to work out whether Keir Starmer is weaker or stronger than he was a week ago. Spoiler alert: they haven't got a clue. But they certainly enjoy themselves finding that out. One thing they know - the absurd Palestine Action ban must be rescinded unless Starmer wants the spectacle of police arresting people from within the audience of his own conference in Liverpool. In the second half they deal with Tommy Robinson, whose march in London this week should, they agree, be taken seriously. Robinson is not as stupid as he looks and he plays an active role in furthering the poisonous nationalistic movement headed by Reform. Enjoy!OFFER: Get The New World for just £1 for the first month.

In this episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three heavyweight stories shaking politics, business, and sport. First, Angela Rayner's resignation sparks chaos inside the Labour Party and raises serious questions about Sir Keir Starmer's leadership. Is Labour heading for unity or a full-blown civil war? Next, we turn to Elon Musk, who could become the world's first trillionaire thanks to Tesla's audacious targets and his relentless drive. What does this say about incentives, ambition, and the staggering concentration of wealth in our age? Finally, we reflect on the passing of Joe Bugner, the legendary British-Australian heavyweight boxer who fought Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, and became a symbol of grit, endurance, and immigrant success. From Westminster's power struggles to Silicon Valley's mega-money, and from the bruising world of boxing to questions of legacy, this episode blends wit, insight, and biblical reflection. Politics, money, and sport collide — but what really matters when the final bell rings? Tune in for sharp commentary, sardonic humour, and timeless wisdom as Mark and Pete explore the stories that shape headlines and hearts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

Net toen Keir Starmer dacht dat hij met een nieuwe intentieverklaring -wij zijn vergeten de hoeveelste dit was- de boel kon herpakken, zag de Britse premier vorige week een van zijn ministeriele kopstukken aftreden vanwege een schandaal. Een crisis die Starmer probeerde af te wenden met haastige kabinetswisselingen en nieuwe benoemingen. Maar de vraag is of deze nieuwe misère het al zeer gehavende imago van Labour niet nog meer gezichtsverlies oplevert. We blijven in de politiek, maar maken een uitstapje naar links: De nieuwe leider Zack Polanski van The Green Party heeft de pittige uitdaging om de populariteit van Farage en zijn Reform partij in te dammen. Hij won de interne verkiezingen om het leiderschap met glans en heeft een ding direct duidelijk gemaakt aan de regerende Labour Partij: "Wij zijn hier om jullie te vervangen". Ook in deze aflevering Hoe brei je een passend einde aan een van de meest iconische televisie- en filmseries uit de Britse geschiedenis? Met een slotfilm die morgen uitkomt, waarin met een groot, meeslepend en dramatisch schandaal valt het doek voor het immens populaire Downton Abbey. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

Reform UK's annual conference wrapped up this weekend – and it was anything but dull. From Andrea Jenkyns belting out her original song ‘I'm an Insomniac' on stage to Nigel Farage trying to keep a sometimes chaotic movement united, the mood was more rally than conference. Despite the optimism in the room, there were obvious cracks under the surface: mainly, do Reform have enough experience in their ranks for the business of serious government?On Coffee House Shots, Oscar Edmondson is joined by Tim Shipman and James Heale fresh from the conference floor. They discuss Farage's role as ringmaster of a broad – and sometimes unruly – coalition, Reform's hopes of fielding thousands of councillors, and the dangers of drifting too close to the conspiratorial edges of politics.Also on the podcast, there has been a steady drip of reshuffle news over the weekend. Starmer's snap reshuffle saw Shabana Mahmood promoted to the Home Office in what many see as the most significant move of the week. With boats and hotels dominating the immigration debate, can she succeed where so many of her predecessors have failed? And what does Angela Rayner's departure mean for the deputy leadership – and Labour's uneasy relationship with the unions?Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Keir Starmer's Labour government seems to be in big trouble, with opinion polls suggesting the possibility of a dramatic reshaping of British electoral politics in favour of Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The resignation of deputy prime minister Angela Rayner last week has shown yet more Labour weakness for Farage to eagerly exploit. It's all happening against a backdrop of deepening divisions over subjects including immigration, taxation, the economy, Gaza and freedom of speech. London correspondent Mark Paul has been trying to keep up with it all. He talks to Hugh on today's podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mark is joined by journalist Ash Sarkar as they discuss anti-racist activism, Ash's political family background, building solidarity through shared struggles, Labour under Starmer  - and Optimism in grassroots organising.  You can hear the second part of the interview in next week's episode – but if you can't wait, why not join us on Patreon?

UK is SINKING under STARMER.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation  12 months after Labour's landslide victory the UK is sinking under the leadership of Keir Starmer. What a mess! The Cabinet reshuffle last week has been widely derided as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and it appears the Captain of the ship, Starmer is not at the wheel. He wanted to sack Ed Miliband. He refused to shift so the net zero nonsense continues.  Starmer moved others around but left the architect of many of his problems in position, Rachel Reeves.  He has a new Home secretary in the shape of Shabana Mahmood who is talking tough but without ripping up the ECHR and mass deportation, the UK will still hit that massive illegal immigration iceberg.  Now Starmer is talking about Digital ID cards to combat illegal working thereby penalising us all for the failure of politicians to secure our borders or control all forms of immigration.  Instead of hiding in his bunker, Starmer should address the Nation, declare a State of Emergency, apologise for the 12 months of chaos, and actually listen to the demands of the people and act upon them.  What do you think? Tell Jon Gaunt at 6.30 tonight on this live show.  #Starmer #JonGaunt #UKPolitics # Shabana Mahmood #digitalidcards #deportation #Bordersecurity #illegalmigrants #deputyleadershipelection, Starmer, Jon Gaunt, UK Politics, Shabana Mahmood, digital id cards, deportation Border security, illegal migrants, deputy leadership election, vlog, political commentary, opinion  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

After the Prime Minister's reshuffle across the weekend, the new look government get to work on phase 2 of the Starmer project.  Sam and Anne discuss if a switch between Shabana Mahmood and Yvette Cooper - at the Home Office and the Foreign Office - will actually make a difference? Elsewhere, the NEC are expected to announce a timetable for the Labour party deputy leadership race, and the Assisted Dying Bill makes its first appearance in the House of Lords. 

La viceprimera ministra del Reino Unido, Angela Rayner, dimitió este viernes tras admitir que había declarado mal a Hacienda la compra de una vivienda en la localidad costera de Hove, a más de 400 kilómetros de su circunscripción en el Gran Manchester. El error le reportó el beneficio de ahorrarse unos 46.000 euros en impuestos. El diario Daily Telegraph había publicado la exclusiva unos días antes y, tras una investigación en el seno del Gobierno, se concluyó que era cierto y a Rayner no le quedó otra salida que presentar su renuncia a Keir Starmer. Rayner pertenecía al círculo cercano de Starmer. Es de origen humilde y dedicó buena parte de su carrera a los sindicatos. Tras ello se convirtió en uno de los rostros más reconocibles del ala izquierda del partido Laborista. Rayner es, por ejemplo, una gran defensora de subir los impuestos, especialmente a las rentas altas, para aliviar los problemas de déficit que arrastra el Gobierno. Paradójicamente su dimisión ha tenido que ver con una cuestión fiscal por la compra de un apartamento de lujo que le costó más un millón de euros. Para Starmer la dimisión de su número dos es un golpe más que deberá encajar en un momento especialmente delicado para él y su Gobierno. El partido Laborista obtuvo una sólida mayoría en Westminster en las elecciones del año pasado. Prometieron un nuevo tiempo caracterizado por la estabilidad después de unos años marcados por los escándalos de los sucesivos gabinetes conservadores. De eso ha pasado poco más de un año y tanto Starmer como el laborismo se encuentran hundidos en los sondeos y con la popularidad en mínimos. La salida de Rayner se produce además después de un verano muy caliente, plagado de titulares de prensa sobre el fracaso del Gobierno para detener el flujo solicitantes de asilo que cruzan el canal de la Mancha en pateras. La cuestión migratoria se complicó poco después con la sentencia de un tribunal que ordenó cerrar un hotel en Epping, una ciudad al norte de Londres, que el Gobierno había contratado para alojar inmigrantes en espera de su resolución de asilo. Rayner daba al Gobierno cierta determinación y fervor ideológico. En un gabinete formado por gente anodina y gris, a la viceprimera ministra le gustaba fajarse con los conservadores, incluso teniéndolos ya en la oposición. Gracias a ella Starmer conseguía mantener bajo control a los más izquierdistas del partido, para quienes Rayner era su principal activo. Sin ella y tras tener que sofocar una rebelión de sus diputados más radicales hace unos meses por anunciar una serie de recortes en las prestaciones sociales, Starmer tendrá que apañárselas para evitar una revuelta a mucha mayor escala que podría llegar a costarle el puesto. Rayner podría de este modo recuperar protagonismo, pero esta vez como referente de la oposición a Starmer tanto en el partido como en el parlamento si, a sus ojos, sigue moviendo su Gobierno hacia la derecha para contrarrestar el auge de Nigel Farage y su partido, Reform UK, que se encuentra ya ocho puntos por encima de los laboristas según las encuestas de intención de voto. Para tratar este tema y sus muchas implicaciones, entre las que se encuentra la suerte política del propio Starmer, vuelve Paco Muñoz a La ContraCrónica, desde un estudio que hemos improvisado en Cambridge. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.

Can Starmer Survive as Farage Sets UK Politics Agenda? #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #JonGaunt #CloseHotels Nigel Farage has basically taken over the UK political agenda. Reform UK had its conference, the polls are moving fast, and we've even got Tory MPs jumping ship to join him. Meanwhile, Starmer suddenly wants to put illegal migrants in military camps and shut down migrant hotels — but let's be honest, it feels like he's copying Farage's homework. Too little, too late. But Farage? He's promising to rip up the ECHR and deport illegal migrants within two weeks of taking power. No wonder people say they trust him more than Labour or the Conservatives right now. Tonight, we'll break it all down: the polls, the defections, the immigration debate, and what this all means for the next election. Plus I will debate whether the old parties can fight back — or if Farage has already won the argument. Hit like, share & subscribe — this is going to be lively. #Starmer #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #ToryDefections #LabourParty #PoliticalDebate #Immigration #IllegalMigrants #MigrantHotels #CloseHotels #MilitaryCamps #ECHR #BritishPolitics #NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #uknews Keywords: Starmer, Farage, Reform UK, UK Politics, Tory Defections, Labour Party, Political Debate, Immigration, Illegal Migrants, Migrant Hotels, Close Hotels, Military Camps, ECHR, British Politics, Nigel Farage, Keir Starmer, Jon Gaunt, UK News This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt
