Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics. The UK steel industry – which was on the verge of collapse just weeks ago – will no longer face the heaviest of Donald Trump's tariffs, the US announced overnight. We're the only country spared the doubling of tariffs on steel imports to the US to 50% – ours instead capped at 25%.This sounds great – until you remember last month's UK-US agreement – when the PM negotiated President Trump's 25% tariff down to zero – a deal that is yet to come into force.What's happened? And how big a win is this for Sir Keir Starmer and for Labour in any case? Is this ensuring the revival of British steel, or merely another stay of execution?

President Trump's tariff blitz hits a legal snag — but he's showing no signs of backing down. Marc Sidwell is joined by National Review Institute's Dominic Pino and the journalist Harry Phibbs to assess what comes next for transatlantic trade. Plus: can Britain turn Washington's assault on academia into an opportunity? And as China races ahead in the humanoid AI stakes, could Britain still take a seat at the table?Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Environmental law is the law relating to environmental problems – but these problems are anything but simple. Traditional legal systems weren't designed with challenges like climate change or biodiversity loss in mind, making this one of the most diverse, evolving, and demanding areas of law today.In this episode, James and Daisy are joined by Philippe Sands KC – a leading international lawyer, professor at UCL and Harvard, and author of East West Street and the recently published 38 Londres Street. Together, they explore the role of international law in protecting the environment. When did international law begin to take environmental issues seriously? Can nature itself have legal rights? What might international environmental law look like for future generations? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Financial Times (2025) – Philippe Sands argues that our planet – not just its people – should have legal rights. “Should Trees Have Standing?” by Christopher Stone (1972) – A landmark law review article that launched the idea of legal rights for nature. LSE (2024) – Analysis of climate change litigation cases in 2023, drawing on the Sabin Center's Climate Change Litigation Databases. Stop Ecocide International – Leading the movement to make ecocide a crime. Philippe helped draw up the legal definition: “Ecocide" means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.KEY CASES AND LEGAL CONCEPTS: Chernobyl – The most serious nuclear accident in history. Philippe's book, Chernobyl: Law and Communication, explores the international legal aftermath of the disaster.ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (1996) – Paragraph 29 recognised a state's obligation to respect the global environment. A new ICJ advisory opinion on climate change is expected in 2025. Chagos Islands – Philippe has long represented Mauritius in its legal battle against the UK over the Chagos Islands. In 2023, he argued that the UN's International Telecommunication Union could deem UK-US activities there unlawful.The Gambia vs Myanmar – A landmark ICJ case against Myanmar for violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the Rohingya Muslims.Red Eagle vs. Colombia – A case involving Colombia's protection of the pàramos ecosystems from mining. The Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression – Proposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, aiming to hold individuals responsible. The proposal followed this article by Philippe.  Montreal Protocol – A successful international treaty to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – An EU carbon tariff on carbon intensive products, such as steel, cement and some electricity. The Law of Sea – Governs maritime conduct and environmental protection beyond national borders.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) – A nonprofit focused on environmental law (founded in 1989). Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law by Ian Brownlie – A foundational text in public international law. Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane – At powerful book on the legal and imaginative rights of nature. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – A groundbreaking book published in 1962 on the environmental harm caused by the widespread use of pesticides that reshaped environmental policy.   Bill McKibben – An American environmentalist, author, and journalist who has written extensively on the impact of global warming.Thomas Buergenthal – An Auschwitz survivor who became a judge with the UN war crimes court in The Hague. Sir Nicholas Lyell QC – An Attorney General in the John Major government and Conservative MP.Thank you for listening!

Starmer vs Russia: No War in Our Name! You're No Churchill or Thatcher! RESIGN! Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin Is Keir Starmer pushing Britain closer to war with Russia? Jon Gaunt exposes how the Labour leader is talking tough on Putin while failing at home – from Dover's migrant crisis to surrendering British territories like the Chagos Islands.  Starmer backs Ukraine drone strikes, increases defence spending promises with no dates, and now entertains conscription talk — echoing Tony Blair's Iraq war mistakes. But the British people don't want another war. They want secure borders, accountability, and real leadership — not Churchill cosplay. Jon Gaunt breaks down: • Starmer's reckless war rhetoric • The truth behind UK-US support for Ukraine's drone attacks • Why Starmer's comparisons to Churchill or Thatcher fall flat • Border failures and migrant chaos • Conscription fears and the lack of public support Subscribe, share, and comment your thoughts on whether Starmer should resign before dragging the UK further into global conflict.  #Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin #NoWarInOurName #UKPolitics #Conscription #BorderCrisis #Thatcher #Churchill #Zelensky #MigrantCrisis #KeirStarmer With Hashtags #KeirStarmer, #NoWar, #RussiaUK, #StarmerVsPutin, #JonGaunt, #Churchill, #Thatcher, #UKPolitics, #UkraineWar, #Zelensky, #StopTheWar, #BritishBorders, #IllegalMigrants, #DroneStrike, #ConscriptionUK, #Putin, #StarmerResign, #LabourParty, #GlobalConflict, #Falklands  Keir Starmer, No War, Russia UK, Starmer Vs Putin, Jon Gaunt, Churchill, Thatcher, UK Politics, Ukraine War, Zelensky, Stop The War, British Borders, Illegal Migrants, Drone Strike, Conscription UK, Putin, Starmer Resign, Labour Party, Global Conflict, Falklands

This episode begins with some good news - the goons who cut down the beautiful tree in the Sycamore Gap for no reason whatsoever, have gone to prison. So that's one reason to be cheerful. Meanwhile, the Vatican have elected a new Pope, quicker than it takes to hire someone in most normal offices these days and newsflash, the MAGA lot are not fans. Apparently he's a Marxist lefty loon (ie he seems pretty compassionate). Meanwhile, there has been much made of the UK US trade deal. A win for Starmer in some regards? And yet what does it really entail and how much of an improvement is it in real terms? Then, Trump has accepted a plane worth $400,000, 000 from the Qatari government. Super! Nothing to see here then. Enjoy hearing Trump's defence when questioned by a journalist, and hear about where Trump chose to take a little nap. There's plenty of Trump batshittery and then to end the ep, one of the craziest conspiracy theories ever to have gripped the internet before being roundly disproved.

Trump is stealing Bernie's manifesto. In this episode, we dive into why Trump is suddenly talking about taxing the rich and slashing the cost of prescription drugs, policies lifted straight from the progressive left. Is he turning on the billionaire donors funding his campaign? And is Israel, long a pet cause of those donors, being quietly edged out of Trump's new MAGA calculus? We unpack a flurry of recent deals, from a largely meaningless UK–US trade agreement , to an urgent truce with China after Chinese exports to the US through the Port of LA fell by 50%. Behind the white smoke: a looming summer of empty shelves, rising inflation, and a reminder that America's economic dominance isn't what it used to be. Meanwhile, Ireland exports more to the US than the UK does, despite being 12 times smaller, but could soon find itself caught in the crossfire if the US starts attaching China-related conditions to EU trade.

LAST CHANCE TO GET YOUR LIVE SHOW TICKETS! Media Storm is back for SERIES 6! And we're here to help you get your head around the headlines (however unhinged they are). But this week, we had a little identity crisis… should we be using the term ‘mainstream media' when it's become such a conspiracy buzzword? And if not, how do we point out all the mainstream media mishaps?! Let us know your thoughts... Stories we delve into this week include: Two post-Brexit trade deals got very different reactions in the UK media. Spoiler: we think race has something to do with it. We look at the UK-India trade deal, and the UK-US trade deal - and ask why one got too much scrutiny, and the other almost none at all. Next up, Gérard Depardieu was convicted for two counts of sexual assault. So why are much of the media labelling him as a 'legend' - and why is The Telegraph telling us 'all is not lost' for him? And we break down Keir Starmer's now infamous immigration speech, likened by his own party members to Enoch Powell's xenophobic ‘rivers of blood'. This is headline politics at its worst.

Jay Truitt actually spent some time living in London so understands the UK perspective.

After the launch of Labour's new White Paper on immigration we ask, despite Starmer's protestations, if Farage and Reform are already dictating not just UK politics but UK government policy.We also delve into the detail of the changes outlined in the paper.The Labour leadership is also facing a  backbench rebellion over its cuts to disability benefits and is also being urged by 69 MPs to recognise a Palestinian state. Will they listen to either of these calls?Lesley's latest column in The National examined the rise of Reform and speculated on its potential to break out of its unionist bubble and attract disappointed SNP voters in next year's Holyrood elections.First Minister John Swinney was grilled by Martin Geissler on whether independence would be page 1 line 1 of the SNP manifesto at those elections. We analyse his response.Is the UK/US trade deal worth the paper it's written on? Not according to US economist Joseph Stiglitz. Was getting such a quick sectoral agreement a sign of weakness or strength for the UK's position?Ahead of the Holyrood vote on assisted dying Lesley gives her thoughts on this difficult decision facing MSPs. There are a few seats remaining for 'A Night for MAP' at the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh.

He questions whether the so-called “truce” is a real breakthrough or just political posturing, arguing that this moment marks a quiet retreat from one of the most costly unforced policy errors in recent economic history. Markowski emphasizes the real-world consequences for small businesses and consumers, exposes the market-driven motives behind the tariff pause, and mocks companies like Apple for trying to mask tariff-driven price hikes. He also takes a jab at the UK-US trade deal, calling it little more than a glorified press release. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

In this episode of The Sunday Roast, recorded on Sunday 11th May, Phil Carroll, Kevin Hornsby, and Charles Archer return with a packed agenda as they unpack a truly historic week. From the Vatican to Washington, Westminster to Wall Street, there's no shortage of headlines. They begin with a landmark moment: the Catholic Church announces its first American-born Pope, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, bringing a message of unity from the heart of St. Peter's Basilica. Across the Atlantic, Donald Trump's controversial proposal to reopen Alcatraz sparks debate, while a major US-UK trade deal reshapes the automotive and agricultural landscapes with sweeping tariff changes. On the home front, Labour's UK-India trade deal gets mired in political miscommunication despite clear economic benefits. VE Day 80 is commemorated across Britain, but not everyone pauses for reflection—Phil shares an amusing moment from the supermarket. In the markets, the team highlights this week's movers including Symphony Environmental, Mosman Oil and Gas, Surface Transforms, Empyrean Energy, and Mast Energy Developments—whose CEO Pieter Krügel joins for an exclusive update. They also discuss Conroy Gold's latest antimony discovery and Alien Metals' drilling progress at Elizabeth Hill. With central banks adjusting interest rates, gold and silver diverging, and AIM showing signs of revival, the team explores where smart money might be heading. In sport, McLaren's Oscar Piastri continues his winning streak in Miami, Arsenal crash out of the Champions League, and Manchester United set up a dramatic Europa League final showdown with Spurs. It's a week of firsts, flashpoints, and financial shifts—so tune in, pour yourself a coffee, and settle in for this edition of The Sunday Roast. 00:00 - 00:30:36  Weekly News Roundup  00:30:36 #SYM  00:30:59 #MSMN  00:31:09 #SCE  00:31:16 #EML  00:33:14 #TIR  00:34:01 #CGNR   00:40:20 #UFO  00:49:49 #MAST   00:56:07 #AGFX  00:56:23 #1SP  Disclaimer & Declaration of Interest This podcast may contain paid promotions, including but not limited to sponsorships, endorsements, or affiliate partnerships.

On Thursday afternoon Prime Minister Keir Starmer gave a speech about closing the long-awaited UK-US trade deal. Not that his announcement went without a hitch however; after first directing lobby journalists to the wrong Jaguar Land Rover factory in Coventry, Starmer then had his limelight stolen by the election of a new Pope. Although, Labour's ‘historic' trade deal has pipped the Pope on most front pages. The reception has been positive across government too, with many heralding a political win for Labour – just when they really needed one after the local elections. But is this an economic win as well? Critics say the deal is shallow, clearly just a start, and are at pains to point out that we are still in a worse trading position than earlier this year. Meanwhile, the governor of the Bank of England intervened to urge the government to ‘do everything' it can to rebuild trade with the EU.  Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Marc Cox welcomes Jim Carafano from The Heritage Foundation to break down the broader implications of the UK–US trade deal, the first since Brexit. Carafano explains how the agreement—reached during the Trump administration and including major Boeing purchases—marks a key diplomatic and economic achievement.

Is the UK-US trade deal a Brexit win?

It's been an impressive week for the Labour government, with trade deals with both India and the US. Ed Balls and George Osborne consider: what does this say about the Starmer government's ‘softly-softly' approach to the wildly unpredictable Trump administration? Being the first in the world to ink a deal with the Americans is nothing to be sniffed at, even if it is a little light on the details – but they both agree the big prize will be a deal with the European Union.... What role will free labour movement play? And what price will Labour be willing to pay, considering the all-important need to keep voters placated on matters of immigration and the economy? Back home, Nigel Farage claims his Reform Party is now the official opposition of the land following a bruising local election for both the major parties. Ed and George consider how both Labour and the Tories will need to position themselves to keep their base. Plus, they turn to the matter of interest rates. The US Federal reserve opted to keep the base rate steady, while the Bank of England has granted borrowers something of a reprieve. What does this say about the direction of the British economy?

Sam and Anne discuss the significance of this political win for Sir Keir Starmer "at a time he needs it most".The pair discuss what detail is expected to be in the pact and what it means for the 'special' relationship between the two countries.Plus, the Bank of England is expected to announce a cut in interest rates. Sam and Anne ask whether things are looking up for the prime minister?

If you're travelling in mainland Europe this Easter and thinking about possibly bringing back some local delicacies, think again. Following outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Germany, Hungary and on its border with Slovakia, restrictions on the food you're allowed to bring in, have changed significantly. You are now not allowed to bring in meat or dairy products from any EU country, except for poultry. So how great is the potential for cured meats or cheeses in your suitcase to transmit foot and mouth?Some of the UK's rarest wildlife is being "torched alive" and pushed closer to extinction after weeks of intense grass fires, conservationists have warned.There has been a bit of talk about trade deals this week, with the the US Vice President JD Vance talking about a prospective UK/US agreement, and that's making farmers nervous. They worry that agreements risk undermining them and this week raised concerns over a deal with India, saying it mustn't allow imports of cheaper food, produced to lower standards. The company behind one of the UK's biggest vertical farms has closed. The Jones Food Company which ran indoor farms in Scunthrope and Gloucestershire, as well as a development centre in Bristol, called in the receivers after failing to find new investors. Vertical farms grow crops, mainly herbs and salad leaves, inside on shelving, using special lights to create a warm humid atmosphere which reduces growing time in comparison with conventionally grown crops. But with a number of companies going bust in recent years, is this a viable way to grow food?And as spring is springing, we talk sheep shearing in West Dorset.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Let Farage get Trade Deal with Trump.  #Brexit #Farage #Trump #TradeDeal  In this video, Jon Gaunt explores the potential of a groundbreaking trade deal between the UK and the USA, led by none other than Nigel Farage. President Trump's tariffs on the UK and EU, is a clear victory for Brexit but what if a trade agreement with the United States could bring those tariffs down to zero? Farage, the architect of Brexit, is in a unique position to help secure this deal.  Gaunty argues that Labour leader Keir Starmer should set aside partisan politics and invite Farage onto the negotiating team. After all, Trump has made it clear he's no fan of the EU, making this the perfect opportunity for the UK to strengthen its trade ties with the US.  Starmer must prioritise the British people and our sovereignty, putting aside his Remainer bias to put the UK first. Will Starmer step up for the nation or let the opportunity slip away? This video delves into why Farage is the key to a successful trade negotiation and why UK politics must look beyond the usual tribal divides for the benefit of the nation. We also discuss the future of UK-US relations and how Brexit plays a crucial role in shaping them. Don't miss this debate on British sovereignty, free trade, and what the future holds for our nation in a post-Brexit world.  Keywords and Search Terms: • UK politics • Brexit • Nigel Farage trade deal • UK US trade deal • Keir Starmer Brexit • Trump tariffs on UK • Farage and Trump trade talks • UK free trade agreement • Post-Brexit UK politics • UK sovereignty • Brexit news and updates • Brexit trade deals • UK trade negotiations • Farage Reform Party • Brexit victory • UK EU relations • Sovereign UK policy Tags: #Brexit #UKPolitics #Farage #Trump #TradeDeal #USUKTrade #KeirStarmer #BrexitTrade #Sovereignty #ReformParty #UKFreeTrade #PoliticalDebate #UKNews #BrexitVictory #PoliticsUK #FreeSpeech

In this video, we explore the question: Has Donald Trump betrayed the UK? We dive into the controversial trade tariffs deal between the US and the UK, the Chagos Islands dispute, and whether Trump's actions are a direct betrayal of the UK and Keir Starmer, or if he's simply putting America first as he promised during his presidential campaign. With tensions rising, Keir Starmer seems to be scrambling to patch things up with Donald Trump, but is this all part of a larger political play? Should the UK have aligned itself more European Union? We also discuss whether the Labour Party's previous criticisms of Trump are now coming back to haunt them. Do you admire Trump's bold and unapologetic style, or do you think Keir Starmer has the better approach for the UK's future? Could this be a moment of payback after years of political sniping between Trump and the Labour Party? Watch this video to get a deeper understanding of the complex political landscape and the future of UK-US relations under these two powerful leaders.

This week will see ‘World Tariff Day' – as those in Westminster are not-so-excitedly calling Wednesday – when Donald Trump will announce a wave of new tariffs. Trump is expected to reveal plans for reciprocal tariffs aimed at addressing what he sees as an ongoing trade imbalance between the US and other countries. He argues that it is ‘finally time for the Good Ol' USA to get some of that MONEY, and RESPECT, BACK. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!'. It had looked as though the Prime Minister's softly-softly approach to US relations was working and that we might avoid Trump's levies... that was until the UK was included in the 25 per cent tariff on cars and auto parts imported into the US, along with steel. There is some hope, however. Donald Trump and Keir Starmer had a call last night in which they spoke about a limited free trade deal. The pair ‘discussed the productive negotiations between their respective teams on a UK–US economic prosperity deal, agreeing that these will continue at pace this week'. It is a knotty situation for the Prime Minister because if he cannot charm his way back into the US's good books, he will face more calls to get tough on Donald and threaten retaliatory tariffs. What's the mood in Westminster? And – more importantly – what's the mood in Washington? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Kate Andrews. Produced by Oscar Edmondson. 

In this video, Jon Gaunt dive deep into the current state of UK politics under Keir Starmer and explore the implications of Brexit in name only. Despite the promises of regained sovereignty after Brexit, the UK remains entangled in EU influence, particularly due to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ongoing migrant crisis and the government's inability to tackle the small boats invasion further illustrate this. With the looming threat of Donald Trump's tariffs—especially the 25% tariff on UK cars—it's clear that the UK must prove its independence from the EU to the world, including the USA. Keir Starmer, a staunch proponent of the EU, seems to be working towards maintaining the UK's close ties to the bloc, evident through his "coalition of the willing." While the EU and the UK have little sway over the Ukraine-Russia peace talks, the USA holds all the cards. Why does Starmer seem to align more with figures like Macron instead of supporting Trump's approach? Jon Gaunt argues that the UK shares far more common ground with the USA than with the EU, particularly in terms of culture, language, and politics.

As the Trump administration pauses military aid to Ukraine we look back at the events of the past week which led up to this.We begin with Starmer's "charm offensive" at the White House, his attempts to appease Trump, and his attempts to bridge the growing gap between the US and Europe.It all seemed to come crashing down with that appalling pool spray ambush of Zelenskyy by Trump and Vance, aided by a right wing "journalist" .We ask where this leaves Ukraine, the UK/US special relationship, and Scotland.As Trump cuts aid to Ukraine it continues to pour into Israel as it looks as if Netanyahu may be engineering a return to the IDF's assault on Gaza while stopping all humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people. John Swinney has called a summit to counter the rise of  Reform and has invited political parties, trade unions, civic and  faith leaders to attend. Lesley questions whether warm words are enough and that action on progressive economic policies are what is really required to combat the right.Labour's New Deal for Working People has suffered yet another watering down in its progress through Parliament. Is Labour totally in thrall to business interests in its drive for growth?It's the 30th anniversary of the groundbreaking publication of The Scotswoman edition of the Scotsman.

Donald Trump showered praise on Keir Starmer during the UK prime minister's visit to the White House this week, describing him as ‘special', a ‘beautiful man' and a ‘tough negotiator'. Host Lucy Fisher speaks to George Parker — who was there in the Oval Office — plus fellow Political Fix regulars Miranda Green and Stephen Bush about the upshot of the visit, from a potential UK-US trade deal and tariffs exemption to the PM's failure to clinch a watertight US ‘backstop' in Ukraine.
