Has Labour abandoned the white working class under Keir Starmer? KeirStarmer #LabourParty #LucyPowell #GroomingGangs #WorkingClassVoices In this video, Jon Gaunt dives into the growing political backlash facing the Labour Party UK. From the Southport protests to the grooming gangs scandal and the ongoing small boat crisis at Dover, many working-class voters feel ignored and betrayed. Starmer's refusal to launch a full grooming gang inquiry, Lucy Powell's controversial “dog whistle politics” comments, and Labour's stance on illegal immigration are fueling claims of a two-tier justice system in the UK. Meanwhile, Reform UK is gaining momentum, especially among those who believe Labour no longer represents working-class communities. Gaunty asks, Is this the beginning of the end for Labour's traditional base? Has the white working class been left behind for the sake of political optics?

It's welcome back to the podcast after our Christmas and New Year break.We kick off by reflecting on how we both spent Hogmanay in our different ways, Lesley's island sojourn sounds affy braw.Much criticism has been levelled at BBC Scotland in particular for its pallid Hogmanay programming and Lesley takes the opportunity to compare the "official" media offerings with the work of the late Martyn Bennett and the Grit Orchestra. Suffice to say the authorised ones don't stand the comparison well.....It seems now is the time for a complete rethink on BBC and STV Hogmanay fare.We also discuss the cancellation of the official Edinburgh celebrations. Is it time for the capital to have a complete rethink ?Martyn Bennett's music and Danny MacAskill's cycling on the Cuillin - 81 million views!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ_IQS3VKjAGrit Orchestra gig - just two seats left!!https://tickets.glasgowlife.org.uk/34209/34210Lesley talks about her new, self filmed, series of short videos she's filming on her travels around Scotland.Lesley also reflects on the recent funeral of 'John the Bird' Chester on Eigg.https://x.com/LesleyRiddoch/status/1876598275693859210Anas Sarwar in his most recent speech talked about reducing the number of quangos but was somewhat less than comprehensive in how he would do this and even less specific on what a Labour administration would cut other than reducing the number of Health Boards.However is there a kernel of truth in Sarwar's statement?  Has the growth of quangos led to the creation, as Robin McAlpine said, of " A feudal system of nested fiefdoms each insulated from the transparency and accountability nominally radiating from the one above"?We also discuss Sarwar's appearance on Good Morning Scotland where Laura Maxwell grilled him on his stances on the 2 Child Benefit Cap, Winter Fuel Allowance, and the WASPI women. We also discuss Neil Mackay's recent Herald article analysing the growth in support for Scottish independence as UK Labour tanks in the polls.Is the SNP in a fit state to profit from this? Is it radical enough to get independence over the line?Listener Leslie Wilson got in touch after our chat on swimmer Duncan Scott to highlight the  television coverage-lack of- of Bruce Mouat's champion curling rink.

Lesley reflects on Alex Salmond's memorial service in this week's episode. How was the service itself? Can it prove to be a significant moment in unifying the struggle for Scottish independence?Wednesday saw the first Scottish Budget since the return of a UK Labour government. We give our first impressions on what it, and just as importantly ,what  it didn't contain. We also examine Scottish Labour's response to the challenges the Budget laid down for them.As Reform makes headway in recent Scottish and Welsh opinion polls and Nigel Farage is set to make his 38th appearance on Question Time Lesley says it's time to take off the gloves and oppose not appease the Right.Amnesty International has issued a 296 page report claiming that  Israel intended to commit genocide against the Palestinian people. Thus joining the UN and many other international bodies in this conclusion. It also stated that the international community had not only failed miserably to condemn this but through its delay in calling for a ceasefire and continuing to supply arms to Israel it was complicit in this atrocity. Meanwhile there was a record attendance at the Labour Friends of Israel lunch including Starmer, Reeves, Lammy and many other Cabinet members amongst the 100 Labour MPs. Starmer was a keynote speaker along with the far right Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely.We also cast our eyes over the crises in Germany, France, and South Korea. ★ Support this podcast ★

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty fourth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today's Expat Chat we talk about the the proposed changes to the Non Dom and Inheritance Tax rules in the UK and how that may affect Australian expats. The Non Dom rules have been part of the UK tax system for over 200 years and many Australian expats, as well as other nationalities, have relied upon it to avoid assets held outside of the UK being taxed by the HMRC. Before Julys election the UK Labour party pledged to address the issue of Non Dom residents and they look like they will be taking this and other topics a lot further. In this episode we run through the following topics: • How do the proposed Non Dom changes affect Australian expats? • Should a Australian expat in the UK reconsider their time in the country? • What are the proposed changes to the Inheritance Tax rules and how does this affect Australian expats in the UK?

The report into the infected blood scandal has finally been published and it makes for damning reading. It found that this "not an accident", and that the government and the NHS had engaged in "downright deception" over decades.We speculate on whose head will roll as a result of the findings and marvel at the fortitude of survivors and campaigners.John Woodcock, Baron Walney , former Labour MP , chair of Labour Friends of Israel, and current chair of Purpose Business Coalition and Independent Adviser on Political Violence and Disruption to the UK government has completed his report entitled Protecting our Democracy from Coercion.We ask if given his ties to Israel, fossil fuel companies, and the defence industry whether his independence  can be relied on.The ICC has applied for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity related to the war against Hamas in Gaza. Alongside the Israeli leaders, the ICC also seeks arrest warrants for Hamas's senior leadership: Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh. If granted, Netanyahu would be the first Western-oriented leader charged by the ICC .What has been the reaction of both the UK and US governments? How does the rationale for UK opposition to the decision stack up against international law and its previous stance on Russian war crimes?The latest polls show a significant lead for Labour in Scotland  in voting intention at the next General Election. However it's neck and neck with the SNP when it comes to Holyrood.UK Labour has also set out its First Steps for a future Labour government.Will Anas Sarwar simply parrot the Starmer lines or will he make a separate set of Scottish pledges?What impact will the parachuting of Labour candidates from England into Scottish constituencies have on the electorate?Meanwhile Holyrood has declared a housing crisis.Should this have been foreseen given the homelessness trends over the past six years? Have funding regulations mitigated against non local authority and housing association organisations building social homes?  Will there be over reliance on the "big boy" private building companies? Will "land banking" be tackled seriously?https://www.ft.com/content/24117a03-37c2-424a-97ed-6a5292f9e92eFor full marketing details of the 23 serviced self-build plots available for purchase at Hall's Field, Lamlash, Arran see link to the relevant page on the DiscoverArran websitehttps://www.discoverarran.com/latest-news-blog/96-halls-field-self-build-plotsFor the Marketing Document, which is available for download, and/or if you have questions contact sheena.borthwick.aeg@gmail.com.

All this despite the expulsion of 13 members for signing a declaration which said “sex is a biological reality” and called for trans women to be banned from women's changing rooms.Signatories also claimed there was a “chilling atmosphere of censure and fear within the party, which affects not only free speech but also free thought”.The party said those who signed the Scottish Green Women's Declaration were in breach of the party's code of conduct claiming they'd failed to “maintain political discipline” and breaking rules on “behaviours that constitute prejudice based on sexual orientation or gender identity” and “behaviours that constitute a threat to others”.We examine what the Scottish Green Women's Declaration actually said and wonder if the expulsions signal a potential party split.https://scottishgreenwomensdeclaration.scot/All of this plus the usual meanderings, listening and viewing recommendations, and the obligatory mention of Dundee United.As promised link to YesWeDidnae surveyhttps://yeswedidnae.scot/ ★ Support this podcast ★

As the dust settles on the SNP leadership question and the Cabinet reshuffle, the focus now shifts to what policies the Swinney government will pursue. Will it be a simple battle between "Left" and "Right"? Growth has been promised  but what will this mean in practice and will there be a new openness to ideas outwith the usual lobbying  suspects?Change under a changed Labour Party has been the mantra of the Starmer project. This change has been so dramatic that Natalie Elphicke, most definitely not a One Nation Tory, has crossed the floor of the House. A master stroke or a sign that Labour has abandoned all pretence of socialism? Meanwhile ,they've  been outflanked by none other than Suella Braverman on scrapping the two child benefit cap, still support the disastrous "Right to Buy", long abandoned in Scotland, and have no plans to re-open safe routes for asylum seekers. Even their much heralded New Deal For Working People looks like being watered down even further.Anas Sarwar appeared on Good Morning Scotland this morning and was put on the back foot simultaneously opposing and defending UK Labour policies while justifying the parachuting of Labour candidates from the south of England into Scottish constituencies.Rishi Sunak in his keynote speech yesterday launched what looks like his first salvo in his re-election campaign. It went way beyond Project Fear and lurched into Project Panic. It painted a picture of a beleaguered country assailed on all sides by extremists including those 50% of us who support Scottish independence.It was a bad set of results for the parties supporting independence in the recent Catalonian elections. It marked a significant shift in Catalonia's political landscape, with the Socialists winning big and pro-independence parties losing ground.Lesley analyses the result, it's all a bit more complex than the British media would have us believe, and reflects on what significance they may have in a Scottish context.All this plus the usual malarkey and Eurovision.  ★ Support this podcast ★
