The UK Government has announced plans to restrict the right to a jury trial in England and Wales to solve a backlog of 80,000 cases. Serious crimes like murder and rape will continue to be sent to jury trial, but minor crimes like shoplifting will be dealt with directly by a judge or magistrate. UK Correspondent Edna Brady has seen the need for reform first hand. "I've spent three decades going to court cases all over the UK and it never has ceased to stagger me.

UK consumers used to save very little — now they’re saving a lot, perhaps too much. Why? Kallum Pickering, Peel Hunt chief economist, joins host Merryn Somerset Webb to explain. He points to a “wealth shock”: when gilt yields surged in 2022, pension values fell sharply. At the same time, mortgage rates climbed and house prices stalled. This shift matters. It’s one reason the UK economy remains sluggish. But it’s not the only factor — our strained public finances and the sheer size of the state also play a role. Can it be fixed? Kallum thinks so. He shared his long-term ideas for turning things around — and even offered a few suggestions for Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Correction: At the end when Kallum discusses financing pensions, he refers to a policy that includes a one-year tax cut for young people at £2,000. That is incorrect. His calculations account for £2,000 cuts for years one and two for pensions, and £1,000 cut in healthcare. It starts for everyone at age 20 but anyone under 40 would get the chance to partake.

Sustainability is meant to be for everyone but when it comes to housing and communities, is sustainable living actually more of a luxury?In this episode of BE Sustainable, we ask a bold question: are ‘sustainable communities' genuinely inclusive, or are they the preserve of the middle classes?The discussion comes in light of the UK Government's latest New Towns proposal, which calls for 12 new settlements and at least 10,000 homes in each - with 40% designated as affordable and with an eye on environmental sustainability. But are ‘sustainable' new builds more expensive to build? And if so, are we pricing lower-income workers and families out of the sustainable housing market?In this studio debate, host Mike Speight is joined by two leading voices shaping the future of British housing:Professor Samer Bagaeen, Head of Town Planning at the University of the Built Environment and Vice-President-elect of the Royal Town Planning Institute.Dr Elanor Warwick, Head of Strategy, Policy, Evidence and Research at Clarion Housing Group, the UK's largest social landlord. Sources of ‘Sustainable Housing UK' topics discussed: 1.

For nearly a century, GDP has been the world's go-to measure of economic success—but what if it's been telling us the wrong story? It treats cigarette sales and cancer treatments as equally “good” for the economy, while caring for your kids, volunteering, or creating art don't count at all. This week, economist Diane Coyle joins Nick and Goldy to discuss her new book, The Measure of Progress, and explain why GDP increasingly fails to capture the reality of modern economies—and how we can measure real progress instead.

The UK Government's confirmed plans for a major overhaul of the country's immigration system to stem the flow of illegal immigration. Asylum seekers will need to wait at least 20 years for permanent residency and won't be guaranteed financial support.

#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.

Over the years, researchers and journalists have repeatedly requested access to official files relating to Prince Andrew's time as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade & Investment (2001-2011). These documents include his travel records, correspondence, meeting logs and other aspects of his public-role activities. However, under UK public-records and freedom-of-information rules, some royal-associated records enjoy extended secrecy. Specifically, files about certain senior royals (including Prince Andrew) are exempt from general access and are to remain sealed for 105 years after the individual's birth — in Andrew's case meaning his records will largely stay private until 2065.The result has sparked considerable controversy. Critics argue the blanket sealing amounts to a lack of transparency and accountability given Andrew's taxpayer-funded public role, while defenders cite national-security, diplomatic-confidentiality and royal-protocol justifications. The secrecy has been described by some as “dubious” in its application of the Freedom of Information Act and other archival laws, especially when open-government norms would favour release after 20 years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

JonGaunt #Live #UKNews #TrainAttack #MassStabbing #Terrorism #CoverUp #KeirStarmer  A horrific stabbing on a packed UK train — yet Cops say it's not terrorism?! So what is it? Mental health? Lone wolf? Or something far darker that we're not being told?  If there's "no threat," why is security being ramped up at stations across the country? And why are the authorities so desperate to calm us down instead of giving straight answers?  Meanwhile, Keir Starmer is off to Brazil to "save the planet." Shouldn't he stay here and save Britain first? Our streets are violent, our communities scared — and the people want truth, not excuses.

#Starmer #JonGauntLIVE #UKPolitics #BritainBurns #LabourParty #StopTheBoats #TalkRadio  Keir Starmer is off to Brazil to "save the planet" — while Britain is burning.  What about protecting our people?  What about stopping the boats?  What about the savage murders and chaos on our streets?  Jon Gaunt says it straight — Starmer is NOT on our side. Join the debate as Jon takes on Labour's failures, the migrant crisis, and the madness of a government obsessed with global headlines instead of British lives.  

 The Piper Alpha oil platform explosion killed 167 men and changed offshore safety forever. This is how a chain of ignored warnings turned the North Sea into a firestorm. And how another disaster, Deep Water Horizon, was foreshadowed by Piper.On July 6th, 1988, the North Sea lit up like a second sun. The Piper Alpha disaster wasn't just an accident—it was engineered by complacency, cost-cutting, and a system built to fail.This An Ounce episode dives into the chain of decisions that made disaster inevitable: missing paperwork, disabled safety systems, and production pressure that drowned out caution.From the first spark to the last survivor, this is the story of a night that reshaped offshore drilling worldwide.If you've ever wondered how safety rules are written in blood, this is it.

According to official numbers, there are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK and 1.1m children are in families that have used a food bank in the past year.  The Nuffield Foundation launched a major new Strategic Review earlier this summer committing £30 million annually over the next five years to fund research and innovation that addresses some of the UK's most urgent social and economic challenges. Read more about it here (https://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/news/nuffield-foundation-announces-150-million-funding-commitment-to-tackle-uks-biggest-social-challenges)  As Assistant Director of Strategy at the Nuffield Foundation, Alex's role is to develop and deliver programmes of work that deliver the strategy and improve social wellbeing in the UK. In this conversation with Will, Alex shares some evidence-backed policy suggestions for alleviating child poverty, which includes changes to the two-child limit and the benefit cap, but also emphasises the importance of taking a holistic approach.  In the We Society, join acclaimed journalist and Academy President Will Hutton, as he invites guests from the world of social science to explore the stories behind the news and hear their solutions to society's most pressing problems.

Is the UK government complicit in the destruction of Gaza? That's the assertion in the new book by journalist and polemicist Peter Oborne, with both Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak under fire for backing what he calls Israel's “criminal assault” following the Hamas attack of October 7.What's more, he says, the British media played its part too: colluding with the government as well as misrepresenting or under-reporting those voices opposed.On this episode of the Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Peter Oborne and Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former UK ambassador to Yemen, previously a UN monitor, and now a senior fellow at the foreign affairs think-tank RUSI.

In 2011, Virginia Roberts Giuffre became known as the most outspoken victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Her campaigning against their abuse and trafficking helped to get justice for many women, but she was perhaps best known for a now-infamous photograph, taken when she was aged just 17, meeting with Prince Andrew. She claimed it was taken prior to one of three times she was forced to have sex with the King's brother. Encounters he vehemently denies took place but which have led to his public downfall, with Prince Andrew reportedly paying around £12 million to Roberts Giuffre, formally ending a civil case brought against him in the US without admitting liability. Earlier this year, Virginia took her own life. Before she died, she wrote a memoir, determined for the world to finally hear her story in her own words. In this episode of The Fourcast, Jackie Long speaks to Virginia's brother and sister-in-law, Sky and Amanda Roberts, about the woman behind the headlines, the legacy she leaves, and the campaigning she wanted to be remembered for. They also express their frustration with the Metropolitan Police response - but the Met reiterated to Channel 4 News today that they do not consider themselves the appropriate authority to investigate alleged crimes in the UK related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.This episode includes conversation around suicide and abuse.
