The resignation of Britain's Defence Secretary has thrown high-level talks with Australia into disarray and reignited debate about the future of the AUKUS submarine pact. John Healey quit after accusing Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government of failing to adequately fund defence, forcing the cancellation of a planned appearance with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles. The political fallout is now being felt on both sides of the world, with critics questioning the stability of one of Australia's most ambitious defence projects.Listen to Australian and world news and follow trending topics with SBS News Podcasts.TRANSCRIPT“At six a dramatic and unexpected resignation by the defence secretary John Healey... “The shock resignation of John Healy has exposed deep divisions within the British government over defence spending.Mr Healey quit after a dispute with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over military funding, warning Britain was failing to invest enough in its armed forces at a time of growing global threats.Just hours earlier, he had been photographed jogging with Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles ahead of a planned visit to Portsmouth Naval Base.That event was later cancelled after Mr Healey's resignation.The now former Defence Secretary had been publicly defending AUKUS and Britain's commitment to the submarine partnership.“I'm not going to comment on figures - the Prime Minister knows what defence and the nation needs.” The resignation has triggered a political storm in London.Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir Starmer's government is unraveling.“Keir Starmer's premiership is falling apart, his health secretary resigned two weeks ago, his defence secretary resigned at a critical time when we are facing global threats and he is doing so because the  prime minister is trying to please his back benchers by putting money into welfare instead of defence”. The developments have also intensified scrutiny of AUKUS in Australia.Peter Garrett, who is chairing a public inquiry into the submarine pact, says the timing of the resignation highlights why the project needs closer examination.“The reason we need to have the enquiry now is there has never been a public debate or even a parliamentary debate about the biggest amount of money that Australian will ever spend in its defence history, at least up to now and the fact that Mr Marles' counterpart has disappeared overnight - I mean it's a bit of a symbol really” Mr Garrett says Australia should make its own assessment of whether the deal is in the national interest.“I think our credibility is only enhanced if we apply  our own thinking as an independent sovereign nation as to what's in our best national interest, and that's the question that we're asking about AUKUS is it ultimately in our best national interest? And other nations will respect that, if we come to that view.”    The Greens have also seized on the developments.Senator David Shoebridge says Richard Marles has been left politically exposed by turmoil among Australia's AUKUS partners.“Defence minister Marles seems committed to a process of ritual global humiliation as he does a world tour of AUKUS.  Richard Marles went to Singapore and came back with 3 second hand submarines.  He then travels off to the UK for AUKUS and is met by the resignation of the UK defence minister, literally been left standing at the altar with not a nuclear sub to be seen.  You can't make this stuff up.”       The federal government has rejected suggestions the resignation will affect the submarine deal.Cabinet minister Tim Ayres says AUKUS has deep support across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and will continue regardless of changes in personnel.

How abused UK Minister's wife fought the system and won! (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 210, Season 22, Episode 0001 This week's Black Spy Podcast continues last week's venture into one of the most troubling and complex intersections of politics, justice, media, and personal trauma. Host Carlton King is joined by journalist and publicist Firgas Esack, who brings both professional insight and lived experience as a survivor of domestic abuse, to dissect the extraordinary and disturbing case of former Conservative government minister Andrew Griffith and his ex-wife, Kate Griffith. The discussion begins with the deeply personal: Kate Griffith's harrowing allegations of coercive control and marital rape during her marriage to Andrew Griffith, an abuse which highlights the dark realities too often hidden behind the public façades of power. Firgas and Carlton explore how these dynamics echo the experiences of countless women, showing how the language of love, loyalty, and parental responsibility is frequently weaponised to keep victims silent and trapped. The conversation then widens to examine systemic issues: the underfunding of the criminal justice system, the shortcomings of parliamentary standards, and the uneven way cases of domestic and sexual abuse are handled in both the courts and the media. Why do survivors so often feel disbelieved or dismissed? Why does the system still lean toward protecting the reputations of powerful men over the safety and dignity of women? A striking dimension of the Griffith case is its political twist: following their divorce, Kate Griffith went on to win her ex-husband's former parliamentary seat, a moment that raises difficult questions about power, gender, and the resilience of survivors. Firgas and Carlton reflect on what it means when the abused literally takes the place of the abuser within the same structures of state power—and whether this represents justice, irony, or something more troubling. Both episodes also address wider societal narratives: the persistence of misogyny, the culture of male blame, and the contested notion of the parental prerogative—the belief that parents, no matter their abusive behaviour, should retain access to their children. This debate exposes the tensions between a child's welfare, the rights of survivors, and the rights of perpetrators who seek to maintain control through family courts. Together, these two episodes present not just a single case but a lens on Britain's political class, its justice system, and its societal attitudes toward gendered violence. They ask listeners to confront whether progress is being made, or whether institutions remain complicit in sustaining patterns of abuse.

Education Minister Erica Stanford has called in some help from international experts in a bid to get the nation's education stats on the up. Former UK Minister of Schools, Sir Nick Gibb, led similar charges a decade ago - and the UK went from the bottom of OECD ranking to 4th in the world for reading and 11th for maths. He's consulting with Erica Stanford - and he's revealed what New Zealand can learn from its international counterparts. "We looked to East Asia to see how maths was taught - the people at the top of the tables - and we basically copied and learned from those countries and we brought that method into England. That's why we have risen in terms of reading and in terms of maths as well." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a distinct European flavour to this week's episode and we kick off with our reaction to the UK/EU deal struck on Monday.Has the Scottish fishing industry, once again, been a bargaining chip worth sacrificing to benefit other parts of the UK economy? Given that fishing and farming are devolved matters why wasn't the Scottish government either involved or at the very least consulted on the agreements reached in these areas? Despite the trumpeting of the deal will it always be a sticking plaster over the economic wounds of Brexit?Saturday saw the latest edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Lesley has always been a massive fan of the event, Pat not so much,  what are her reactions to the inclusion of Israel, the behaviour of the EBU and host broadcaster in apparently censoring the live audience during the Israeli performance, and the claims of massive state intervention in order for Israel to stage a propaganda coup?The British Museum hosted a secret celebration of Israel "Independence" Day. Much of the focus has been on the appearance at it by comedian Jimmy Carr but should more have been made of the speech given by UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle , on the day that the Labour government was in court defending itself against claims that it had continued to supply Israel with F35 aircraft parts in breach of its own sanctions?ScotLand( sic) Futures led by the Scottish Land Commission has called for individuals, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations to "help shape a shared vision for how Scotland's land is owned, used and managed".

Good Morning and welcome to another roasting hot day on the Costa Blanca. If you can understand what I have been writing it's because we've all learned how to use the English language in an agreed way. This morning I have been reviewing the UK newspapers with Neil Colbourne and we discussed how the British Red Cross has issued a document in which they have continued the woke trend of interfering with the English language. What concerns me most is the absence of comments from leaders in the fields of education and other major areas of influence. As a qualified educationalist I wonder why I bothered to dedicate so many years of my life to education. I am not an activist but I do urge people to wake up. Read about Antonio Gramski and maybe you can find some answers. In Gramsci's view, the bourgeoisie needed to develop a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion. I believe his ideas are in the mix and are being used in Agenda 2030. I do hope you all have a successful and happy day and maybe the UK Minister for common sense will speak up!

Buckle up for a time warp! Dr. Roger McFillin and Sean revisit a January 21, 2022 episode, adding fresh insights and perspectives along the way.—-------Throughout history there are examples of communities, regions and even entire countries acting irrationally towards a perceived adversary. And sometimes that “adversary” is not a physical presence, but simply an idea, or the threat of an occurrence. Examples such as the Salem Witch Trials, the Dancing Mania, and Nazi Germany often leave us asking the question, “How did this happen?”The phenomenon of Mass Formation Psychosis has been applied as a possible explanation. In September 2021, a professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University in Belgium suggested Mass Formation as a possible explanation for the global response around the Covid pandemic. At the start of January 2022, Dr. Robert Malone shared this topic on the Joe Rogan Podcast, effectively becoming the most memorable part of their 3 hour conversation. Thus the need for more education on this psychological phenomenon. On today's podcast Roger, Kelly and Sean discuss Mass Formation Psychosis. Original file without commentary: Radically Genuine Podcast with Dr. Roger McFillin | 22.
