The Brewers planned Truss Club means that Front Row Amy's seats won't be in the front row anymore. More with Chris Conley on the WSAU Wisconsin Morning News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Following Green MP Hannah Spencer's comments on drinking culture at Westminster, Ed Balls and George Osborne answer whether MPs should be better behaved in general during Parliamentary sessions. They make the case for heckling and jeering, comparing it to more civilised Parliaments and systems to explain how it helps hold our leaders accountable. They then reflect on their experience on Question Time, and whether they would follow Michael Gove's move and go on as retired politicians. This sparks a trip down memory lane, and there may be more to come in the summer…Things get serious with a listener posing Adam Tooze's argument that the Bank of England is instilling fear in governments following the Truss fiasco. They explain their objections to this, and explain how the Bank of England has kept things in check for Britain, particularly post-2008.Finally, they answer the ultimate question: are Centrist Dad playing the Trinity College Oxford ball? Ed reveals the process behind the band's booking, and they recount the bands that played their own balls. George also recounts his encounter with a literary legend that he'd really rather forget…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:
This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on . Richard st ruth Q:
What was it like being Chancellor of the Exchequer during the mini budget crisis under Liz Truss's brief Prime Ministership? Kwasi Kwarteng takes us back to the fateful days in the autumn of 2022 with his insider's view. He explains why he was filmed smiling during the Queen's funeral and offers a human perspective on politics. Taking partial responsibility for the economic turbulence during the second shortest Chancellorship in British history, he reflects on the impact of his and Truss's choices. He also looks ahead to the next election and offers his prescription for a Tory recovery and his verdict so far on Kemi Badenoch. And he gives his view of Nigel Farage, who has invested in a bitcoin company Kwarteng is involved with. This is a rare chance to go behind the scenes of power and to better understand one of the most dramatic periods of British political history.
Remember Olaf Scholz? Just about? Remember when he sunk to the lowest opinion poll rating in German political history? Well the good news for anonymous hopeless former Chancellors is that the next beige technocrat in charge of Germany has just beaten his record. Plunging to 89% dissatisfied – with only 11% satisfied. Even with Macron as the most unpopular President ever, Starmer the least popular Prime Minister, Merz is more unpopular still. Our lead question this week is very simple: what the flaming fuck is going on in Germany? Meanwhile, more news just in on Europe's cordless bungee ride: UK bond yields have spiked again. To 5.3% - the highest rate since 1998. They can't go any higher – right? In the four years since the Truss contagion blew up the markets by hitting 5% and toppled the government, it's a good thing the UK Treasury used that period to stop running massive deficits… right? Finally, the global oil market is beginning to resemble Argentina under Kirschner. You've got your official prices; and then your real prices. As reality continues to diverge from the markets, we're asking: who is this mysterious Whale of Hormuz who keeps on fiddling with the international price mechanism?

Last week, the UK economy experienced high macroeconomic volatility as stagflation fears intensified after the Iran conflict disrupted global supply chains. March's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to a six-month low, while consumer expectations also dropped as households faced increases in energy prices. Initial panic over Bank of England (BoE) rate hikes, driven by the energy crisis, faded as BoE officials dampened inflation fears. They argued that the domestic economy lacks the momentum to sustain a 2022-style price spiral where costs drove wages and prices higher. Downing Street remains in active crisis management; Prime Minister Starmer is set to meet business leaders to navigate the fallout and discuss how the government and private sector can collaborate. Chancellor Reeves is attempting to avoid Truss-era panic by delaying unfunded universal bailouts, with broad energy support postponed until at least the autumn...Stocks featured:BP, Endeavour Mining and 3i GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

This was a fun podcast and is going out on both the Energy News Beat channel and the Crude Truth Podcast Channel with Rey Trevino. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss is a breath of fresh air, and I really enjoyed her answers, and Rey hit it out of the park with some great questions as well.We confirmed some key points I have been making: the British deep state has not had the United States' back. PM Truss drives home the fact that Net Zero costs more money and is a method of deindustrialization and control. By moving all of the jobs to China and electrifying everything, the consumers are the losers.The similarities of California, New York, and the UK are frightening. We hope to be a resource for PM Truss as she is trying to save her country.1. British Economy & Energy PolicyLiz Truss discusses the UK's economic challenges, arguing that deindustrialization and over-reliance on renewable energy have driven up energy costs and harmed economic growth. She advocates for alternative energy strategies including fracking, removing windfall taxes on North Sea oil and gas, and positioning Britain as a net energy exporter.2. Climate vs. Economic PrioritiesA central theme is the tension between climate change policies and economic interests. Truss contends that the current government has prioritized climate objectives at the expense of citizens' economic wellbeing, and calls for a rebalancing of these priorities.3. UK-US Political ComparisonsThe discussion draws parallels between left-wing ideological influence in both countries, with references to figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Truss praises Trump's "America First" energy approach and suggests the UK needs a similar policy revolution.4. Geopolitics & Energy SecurityTopics include Iran's destabilizing role in the Middle East, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and the need for stronger UK-US alignment on energy security and confronting geopolitical threats.5. Media & Public DiscourseTruss criticizes mainstream UK media for insufficient coverage of green energy policy consequences and advocates for alternative media platforms and podcasts to amplify diverse viewpoints.Ten Years to Save the West!Check out her book: https://a.co/d/0e4Z71EmShout out to Reese Energy Consulting https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Get your CEO on the #1 Energy Podcast in the United States: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/media/Is oil and gas right for your portfolio? https://energynewsbeat.co/invest/

A government with a thumping majority that can't seem to run the country. U-turns every week and a permanent sense of crisis. And none of this is new - Johnson, Truss, Sunak, May. The country doesn't seem to be able to find a set of politicians who are able to get on with running things. Or is it just that we won't let them, because every problem becomes a social-media-fuelled crisis? Is the Starmer administration just a symptom of a system that doesn't work? Tom Skinner, a former special adviser to five Conservative prime ministers, tells Phil and Roger what it feels like inside a Number Ten under siege, and what needs to change to make the UK governable again.

Some of the country's biggest investment managers have sent a stark signal to Labour MPs. They worry that any attempt to oust Keir Starmer as PM could rattle the markets, weaken the pound and risk a Truss-style shock. As Labour Together, the group that campaigned for Starmer's leadership, tests the waters for potential successors, Sam and Anne unpack what's happening inside the party.In Downing Street Starmer hosts a high stake gathering with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz, as Donald Trump publicly pressures Ukraine to accept his peace terms. Sam and Anne look at what could be unfolding behind closed doors.Plus, in Clacton, Nigel Farage has been reported to police over his electoral expenditure. Reform UK denies the claims.
Following the rather grim comedy of Boris Johnson, the Conservatives gave Britain the even more ridiculous spectacle of Liz Truss. She proceeded to push the British economy to the edge of the abyss, aided and abetted by her Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi ‘Kamikwasi' Kwarteng. Fortunately, her colleagues realised what a disastrous mess the Tory membership had made electing Truss leader, and chucked her out again, establishing a new record, previously held by George Canning since 1827, for the shortest tenure of any Prime Minister in office.To the delight of the Daily Star, which livestreamed a lettuce and a photo of Liz Truss, to see whether she could outlast the lettuce, it was the vegetable that won.It was Rishi Sunak who followed her into office, and he worked hard with his Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to get the economy back on its feet. Unfortunately, they went back to the beginning of this long period of Tory rule, to austerity politics. They worked no better second time around than first and only cut the public deficit by a little over half, leaving debt still climbing. Meanwhile, immigration was raising its head again as a key question. Oddly enough, net migration – people in less people out – had risen since Brexit, which many had backed as a way to limit migration in the first place. The new election took place on 4 July 2022. It was an election of fragmentation, with the old dominant parties of Labour and the Tories plumbing new depths of their joint share of the popular vote, while smaller parties – the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and the new kids on the block, Nigel Farage's Reform UK, surging forward.The success of Reform UK was the most striking. And the most ominous for the future of the other parties.Illustration: Liz Truss and the lettuce.

In this episode, we explore the significant developments surrounding the FBI's investigations with Director Kash Patel. From the controversial Arctic Frost investigation targeting President Trump and his allies to the recent breakthroughs in the January 6th bombing case, Patel shares exclusive insights and revelations. Then, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss sheds light on the deep-rooted connections between the United States and the United Kingdom. Truss discusses the challenges both nations face, from monetary policy to free speech, and the encroachment of wokeness. With a focus on the need for a parliamentary shift in the UK, she emphasizes the importance of a movement to counteract the entrenched deep state. The episode also introduces the launch of the Liz Truss Show, aimed at exposing truths and providing a voice to those affected by societal issues in Britain. Finally, Dr. Peter McCullough joins to address the alarming reports regarding COVID-19 vaccines and their impact on children.

There has been a flurry of UK-European activity across Britain this week, with the German state visit in London, the Norwegian Prime Minister signing a defence agreement in Scotland and the British-Irish council meeting in Wales today. Perhaps then it's inevitable that speculation over closer ties between the UK and the EU has re-emerged. Could Labour seek to rejoin the Customs Union? Would this help or hinder Reform? And would the EU even stomach it? Plus – Liz Truss launches a new show today. Will she say anything new?James Heale and Charles Grant from the Centre for European Reform join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

On this episode of the podcast, Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss joins Amanda Head to deliver a powerful and unfiltered conversation about the forces she says are driving the United Kingdom toward collapse and why Americans should see it as a warning sign.Truss pulls back the curtain on what she calls Britain's ‘deepest deep state,' a bureaucracy she argues has been captured by ideological activists, unaccountable judges, and entrenched elites determined to stop meaningful reform. From mass migration and collapsing free speech to grooming scandals and economic decline, Truss outlines how the government and media — especially the mainstream networks — have suppressed truth and undermined democracy.Truss also highlights the launch of her new show, “The Liz Truss Show” which is in partnership with the Just The News Podcast Network — designed to bypass the UK's legacy media and give voice to citizens harmed by failed policies, censorship and reindustrialization.

The IMF suggested that the US government debt-to-GDP ratio will exceed that of Italy by the end of the decade. There is no reason to suppose this IMF forecast is more accurate than any other IMF forecast, but the trend is clear. Italian parallels are a reason not to panic. Italy is a very wealth country, and has successfully mobilized private wealth to help fund its debt. The US is a reasonably wealth country and could do likewise. The UK's Truss debacle reminds us that funding government debt (not the debt level itself) is what matters.

Liz Truss is never far from the shores of the United States, hobnobbing with the folk seeking to "Make America Great Again." What does she think Britain can learn from the second Trump era? Anne McElvoy travels to Washington to talk to the former Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss, who's on a self-proclaimed “mission” to remake the U.K. in the image of MAGA-land. It's exactly three years since she left Downing Street after just 49 days in office following a mini-budget that sent the markets into freefall — and has haunted her party ever since. In a wide-ranging interview, Truss tells Anne that the Green Party might end up being the official opposition party after the next general election and argues that voters are sick of "technocratic managerial crap" in politics. She insists that she will foreseeably not be joining Reform UK, despite criticizing her own party's record in office. Truss also pours scorn on both Kemi Badenoch's leadership of her old party and the Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves, whom she blames for an impending economic crisis. Learn more about your ad choices.

French Prime Minister Lecornu resigned, but will work for 48 hours—President Macron wants Lecornu to find a fiscal solution that would command National Assembly support. Despite obvious parallels, this is not the same as the UK's Truss debacle. The French bond market remains orderly. French assets will command a risk premium, as investors wait to see whether a new government or new elections are the outcome.

Liz Truss, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, says she wants to be part of the “second American revolution” — “Trump-style.” With “Britian heading for bankruptcy,” “grooming gangs,” unchecked immigration, and the rising threat of Islamism, is it too late to Make Europe Great Again? Despite an unhinged deep state and free-speech crackdowns, Liz Truss still has hope, which is why she is working on a new media venture to rival the BBC. She exposes how the Bank of England “turned on her” and then marvels at the incompetence of Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney before offering a chilling warning: “If we do not turn this around within 10 years, the West is finished.” GLENN'S SPONSORS Relief Factor Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!
