Britain's Conservative Party is one of the oldest and most successful political parties in history. Local elections in the UK have signalled that they are facing the prospect of being wiped out, imperilled by the rise of the right-wing Reform Party, headed by one of the most pervasive and divisive figures in British politics: Nigel Farage. Reform's success is also coming at the expense of Labour, whose voters are underwhelmed and unconvinced by the performance so far of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government. Hosts Nina Dos Santos and Owen Bennett Jones explore what makes Reform such a potent political threat that they could upend 100 years of Labour and Conservative rule, charting the party's rise from UKIP to Brexit to now.  They speak to Gawain Towler, former Reform spokesperson and close political confidant of Nigel Farage, and Ben Habib, formerly deputy leader of Reform two men who understand the soul of the movement and the man who leads and embodies the party: Nigel Farage.

Reform UK, el partido de Nigel Farage, es la nueva sensación en la política británica. Dos victorias electorales simultáneas, una en las elecciones locales y otra en la circunscripción de Runcorn y Helsby, que han arrebatado al Partido Laborista por sólo seis votos, ha provocado todo un terremoto político. Con esta victoria, Reform UK recupera los cuatro diputados en la Cámara de los Comunes, un número que no le hace justicia ya que en las elecciones del año pasado fue el tercer partido más votado, pero el sistema electoral británico, uninominal mayoritario, redujo al mínimo su representación. El mismo día de la victoria en Runcorn y Helsby, Reform UK logró un éxito notable en las elecciones locales con mayorías en varios consejos de condado y ayuntamientos. En Lincolnshire, un bastión conservador, Reform arrasó, mientras que en Durham y Staffordshire también tomó el control desplazando a laboristas y conservadores. En Lancashire, un condado políticamente volátil, Reform se consolidó como fuerza dominante. Estos resultados confirman que el partido no sólo es el dueño de las encuestas, sino que eso se traduce en apoyo electoral real. Para el partido Conservador, liderado por Kemi Badenoch, los resultados fueron catastróficos: perdieron 676 concejales y 16 de 23 consejos disputados. Badenoch está en entredicho dentro de su partido. Para Farage es una bendición, le pidió que no dimita consciente de que su debilidad le beneficia. Los Liberal Demócratas, por su parte, capitalizaron el descontento, ganando en condados como Cambridgeshire y Oxfordshire. El partido Laborista, aunque ha retenido algunos territorios importantes como North Tyneside y Bristol, lo hizo con márgenes estrechos a causa de las peculiaridades del sistema electoral. En Doncaster, de hecho, superó a Reform UK por solo 700 votos. Estos resultados indican que las próximas elecciones generales serán muy disputadas, especialmente en circunscripciones donde los dos principales partidos llegan igualados. El éxito de Reform UK plantea una serie de cuestiones. Sus concejales, alcaldes y consejeros ahora tienen ahora la difícil tarea de gobernar en ayuntamientos y condados con presupuestos limitados y una aguda crisis en servicios públicos como el cuidado de mayores o el mantenimiento de infraestructuras. Farage, magnífico opositor, deberá demostrar su capacidad de gestión, un terreno en el que no tiene experiencia alguna. El ascenso de Reform UK supone de cualquier modo un giro en la política británica. A diferencia de sus predecesores, como el UKIP o el Brexit Party, Reform está mejor organizado y goza de mayor popularidad. Farage, una figura carismática y disciplinada, busca reemplazar a los conservadores como el principal partido de la derecha. Su agenda combina políticas antiinmigración, recortes fiscales y medidas intervencionistas. Eso atrae tanto a conservadores descontentos como a votantes de clase trabajadora. Aspira a una mayoría absoluta en las elecciones en 2029, un objetivo un tanto ambicioso ya que Reform UK tiene en estos momentos sólo cuatro escaños. Pero las encuestas le dan un 25% y el partido Conservador está en caída libre. A diferencia del voto táctico del centro-izquierda, la derecha está dividida, algo que ha llevado a algunos analistas a pedir un acuerdo entre los conservadores y los reformistas, pero Farage no cree que le convenga mientras lidere las encuestas. Faltan aún cuatro años para las elecciones, cuatro años en los que puede pasar cualquier cosa.

Votes are being counted across England, but there is a clear early winner from these local elections: Nigel Farage. His party triumphed in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election this morning, overturning a 14,000-odd majority and winning by just six votes! Elsewhere, Andrea Jenkyns triumphed in Lincolnshire; Reform came second in a number of mayoral races; and their 38 per cent vote share in Runcorn matches the best-ever performance that Ukip achieved in a by-election. So far, the story is one of teal triumph – at the expense of the two main parties. Labour are already pointing to the difficulty incumbents often face at local elections, and will claim victory after narrowly holding out in three mayoral races: North Tyneside, the West of England and Doncaster. The Tories, however, appear to have totally capitulated – but with widespread results for councils across England expected later, that could all change. Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Lucy Dunn. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

In this episode, I reconnect with Danny Roscoe to explore pressing political events and societal challenges. We start by discussing Danny's health and resilience, then shift to the legal struggles of Tommy Robinson, reflecting on the spiritual dimension of his fight for freedom of speech. Our conversation critiques the mainstream media's coverage and highlights the importance of alternative voices in addressing injustices. We also evaluate Nigel Farage's recent actions and the systemic failures regarding grooming gangs in the UK, advocating for accountability and a national inquiry. As we look ahead to the local elections in May, Danny promotes UKIP candidates, emphasizing that grassroots movements are essential for meaningful change. The episode concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to remain engaged in the struggle for justice and integrity. The Week According to …. Danny Roscoe @DANNYUNFILTERED Danny Roscoe  @DANNYUNFILTERED Good luck to our friend Tommy today! As always the establishment, judiciary and the IRA defending Attorney General will be against him. But with Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel ready to walk into this battle with him, FAITH & TRUTH cannot be hidden This is my prayer for him: Saint Michael the Archangel,defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Rupert Lowe & Nigel Farage Civil War was INEVITABLE: Steven Woolfe, former UKIP Leadership Contender

Turncoats, opportunists … or just idealists whose bosses lost their way?  Defecting to a new party is one of the momentous decisions an MP could ever make. Years of loyalties, backroom deals and deep friendships are lost in an instant. Patrick Baker speaks to MPs who have wrestled with the decision to switch party, to discover what it is really like.  Shaun Woodward, who left William Hague's Conservative party to join Blair's New Labour in 1999, recalls the dirty tricks used try to prevent his defection and how the move precipitated a huge media storm. Former Ipswich MP Dan Poulter, who defected from the Tories to Labour last April, explains how he lost faith in the Conservatives (just before an election) and solicited advice from those on the other side of the aisle, including veteran MP Jon Cruddas. Helen Pidd, host of The Guardian's Today in Focus podcast, was given special access to defector Christian Wakeford in Parliament, and witnessed first-hand the reaction from Tory MPs furious at his perceived betrayal after the Bury South MP crossed the floor to join Labour. Brexit stalwart Douglas Carswell recounts his decision to join UKIP, which helped to pave the way for the EU referendum — while David Cameron's former communications chief Craig Oliver sets out his strategy for spinning a subordination in the ranks. And Libby Wiener, who spent twenty years as a political correspondent for ITV News, looks back at the Westminster drama of multiple defections. She explains how these rare events are becoming more common, in an era where voters' own party allegiances are less secure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It is 50 years since Margaret Thatcher was elected Conservative leader, and at this week's shadow cabinet meeting, Lord Forsyth was invited as a guest speaker to mark the occasion. He noted the similarities between 1975 and 2025. Back then, the party was broke, reeling from defeat and facing the fallout from a reorganisation of local government. But, despite threadbare resources, Thatcher managed to rebuild to win power four years later. ‘You have the potential to do the same,' Forsyth told Kemi Badenoch. However, when asked if a young Thatcher would have been drawn to the right's insurgent Reform Party, Nigel Farage replied, ‘I don't think there's any doubt about it.' He even claimed that Thatcher had voted UKIP in 1999. ‘She believed in meritocracy, she put Jewish people in her cabinet, working-class people like Norman Tebbit. She would have hated wokery and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI),' said Farage.  What would Mrs Thatcher have thought of the current state of the Conservative Party? Might Reform have appealed to her?  James Heale speaks to Lord Forsyth. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Mal ha empezado el año el primer ministro británico Keir Starmer. Por si no tuviese ya suficientes problemas con la crisis económica que atraviesa el país, la semana pasada el magnate tecnológico Elon Musk la emprendió en su red social X contra él. Le acusó de haber ocultado información hace años, cuando era jefe de la fiscalía de la Corona, sobre una serie de casos de abuso sexual que se produjeron en el norte de Inglaterra. En el curso de varios días Musk ha ido publicando decenas de tuits contra Starmer y su Gobierno, metiéndole en serios apuros ya que tanto la oposición conservadora como los identitarios de Reform UK se ha subido al carro. Pero los conservadores son aquí unos meros convidados de piedra. Todos miran a Reform UK, cuyo líder, Nigel Farage está desde hace tiempo a partir un piñón con Donald Trump. Se han visto muchas veces. Hace sólo unas semanas, a finales de diciembre, se reunieron en Mar-a-Lago, la residencia de Trump en Florida, donde se pudo ver también con Elon Musk. Tras el encuentro Farage reveló que Musk está considerando una donación al Reform UK, lo que fortalecería al partido que hoy es el que más crece del Reino Unido. Se ha hablado de cien millones de dólares, pero la cantidad exacta que entregará es un misterio. La reunión culminó con una fotografía de ambos bajo un retrato de Trump que Farage se apresuró a compartir en las redes sociales recordando el lema de su partido: “el Reino Unido necesita reformas” a lo que Musk respondió “absolutamente”. Farage lleva desde el año pasado trabajándose a Trump a fondo. Le acompañó durante la campaña electoral y parece que las puertas de la Casa Blanca las va a tener abiertas de par en par. Este detalle es importante ya que la “relación especial” que une a británicos y estadounidenses acarrea siempre consecuencias políticas. Sus Gobiernos suelen estar alineados en lo principal y van siempre de la mano. Pero tan pronto como Trump tome posesión del cargo el día 20 esa relación especial se va a agriar ya que ni a Trump le gusta Starmer, ni a Starmer Trump. A diferencia de lo que sucede en Estados Unidos, la legislación británica fija unos límites muy estrictos sobre el gasto electoral, pero los partidos pueden aceptar donaciones ilimitadas, siempre que provengan de empresas británicas. Musk podría sortear esto último efectuando la donación desde las filiales de Tesla o Starlink en el país, pero necesitaría la aprobación previa de los accionistas. En Westminster, entretanto, los laboristas están estudiando el modo de evitar que Musk intervenga de un modo tan directo en la política británica. Quieren reformar la ley de financiación electoral para limitar las donaciones de las filiales de las empresas extranjeras. A Farage ese dinero le viene realmente bien. Tiene sólo cinco escaños en los Comunes y el partido está en pleno despliegue nacional. Cualquier donación será importante para él. Su objetivo a corto plazo es superar al partido Conservador y convertirse así en la alternativa para los laboristas en las elecciones que, en principio, no se celebrarán hasta 2029. Farage es bien conocido por los británicos desde hace años, cuando era eurodiputado de UKIP, pero pocos le tomaban realmente en serio. Hoy es según varios sondeos de opinión el político más valorado del país, en algunos de ellos ha superado ya en esperanza de voto a los conservadores, que atraviesan una crisis muy aguda tras perder el poder el julio. La guerra entre Elon Musk y Keir Starmer parece que va para largo, todos tienen claro que vendrán más batallas en el futuro. Musk arguye que está interesado en la política británica porque su abuela era de Liverpool, su segunda esposa es británica y se deja ver por el país con relativa frecuencia. No parece demasiado como para el esfuerzo que está haciendo, por lo que muchos lo ven como una operación de altos vuelos que anticipa el enfriamiento de las relaciones británico-estadounidenses durante el segundo mandato de Trump.

Populism, MAGA, and Trump: Insights from Media and the Campaign Trail

Join us for another episode of Hearts of Oak Podcast, where we're honoured to have the return of Petr Bystron, a Member of the European Parliament representing the Alternative for Germany (AfD), as our guest.  In this insightful conversation, Petr delves into the transformative currents sweeping through European politics, sparked by the AfD's significant electoral achievements.  We'll explore how the AfD's strategic alliances are influencing European policy, the media's portrayal of populist movements, and the party's dedication to tackling critical issues like immigration and national sovereignty head-on. Petr provides a unique perspective on the shifting dynamics within the EU, where traditional political alignments are giving way to a resurgence of nationalist sentiments. Expect a candid discussion that goes beyond the headlines, examining the core values and political philosophies at play in today's Europe. Tune in as we navigate these complex waters with one of the key figures shaping the continent's future. Petr Bystron is the highest-ranking foreign politician of the AfD: He has been Chairman of the AfD in the Foreign Committee of the German Bundestag since 2017. Since 2021 he has been the foreign policy spokesman for his party and its representative in the Council of Europe and the Interparliamentary Union (IPU). He was the first AfD politician to be officially received by an incumbent president (Milos Zeman) and the first European to receive the „Eagle Award “ from the conservative US Phyllis Schlafly Foundation. He was born in the CSSR, from which he fled to Germany at the age of 16, where he received political asylum. Thirty years later, he faced similar persecution in Bavaria: during the 2017 election campaign, he was subjected to an illegal house search and it was announced that he was being monitored by the Bavarian secret service. In addition to these state reprisals, he is always the target of attacks by left-wing extremists. Bystron is actively committed to supporting politically persecuted people. In 2018, with the help of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, he was able to free journalist Billy Six from Venezuelan detention. Petr Bystron is one of the founding members of the AfD. From 2015 to 2017 he was the state leader of the party in Bavaria. He took over the party in a crisis and led it from 3.5% of the vote to the best election result of all western federal states in the 2017 federal election with 12.7%. He founded and headed his party's National Committee for European and Foreign Policy (2013-2015). Bystron studied political science at the University of Politics and the Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich and has been working as a journalist for years. His articles on business and politics have been published in renowned daily newspapers and magazines in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. He has won several creative competitions, including an EU essay competition on the future of Europe. His current book 'MEGA – Make Europe Great Again' contains portraits of leading conservative politicians such as Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Penn and Nigel Farage. Petr is married, has two children and has lived in his constituency of Munich North for more than 30 years. He has been an entrepreneur for over thirty years. Connect with Petr and The AfD...

En Boston, la ciudad más brexitera del Reino Unido, está calando el discurso antiinmigración de Nigel Farage. Los ciudadanos lo ven como una solución al elevado número de extranjeros, que es del 26%. Su partido, Reform UK, está a dos puntos de los conservadores. Boston es una ciudad de 35.000 habitantes al este de Inglaterra, a 200 kilómetros de Londres y es la ciudad más brexitera del Reino Unido. El 75 por ciento votó por el Brexit en 2016. Ahora, ocho años después, está calando el mensaje de Nigel Farage y su partido, llamado Reform UK, pero que antes fue el UKIP. Con un mensaje antiinmigración está tercero en las encuestas para las elecciones del 4 de julio, a solo dos puntos de los conservadores, a los que está quitando votantes.El particular sistema electoral británico por acumulación de voto provoca que Reform UK tenga el 18 por ciento de la intención de voto, pero cero escaños (de 650), aunque algunas encuestas le dan alguno. Mientras que los conservadores, con el 20 por ciento, obtendrían 53 parlamentarios.“Lo estamos pasando mal”Las calles de Boston, en Lincolnshire, están llenas de rumanos y búlgaros que no hablan inglés. La inmigración alcanza el 26%. Votaron Brexit porque había muchos polacos, lituanos y letones. Ahora estos se han marchado y en los últimos años han llegado rumanos y búlgaros, en su mayoría de etnia gitana.David Street es un residente de Boston que votó Brexit en 2016 pero luego se arrepintió. Dice que la situación es un “verdadero desastre”. Pese a esto es un seguidor de Farage. “Creo que [Farage] es magnífico, pero no creo que pueda dirigir el país. Creo que es un gran orador y lo que dice tiene mucho sentido. Pero va demasiado lejos a veces, sus posicionamientos son demasiado duros y dice lo que nadie se atreve a decir. Lo tachan de racista, pero no lo es, solo lo mira todo. Creo que hace falta un cambio”, estima.“Aquí la inmigración es muy grande y lo estamos pasando mal. Viene mucha gente y no pasa nada porque vengan, pero hay que poner límites”, dice. Y añade: “No puedo conseguir una cita con el dentista, el Servicio Nacional de Salud no funciona. Conseguir una con un dentista es una pesadilla. Creo que tienen demasiados pacientes. Ese es el problema”.  También Adrian Pocklington votó Brexit y lamenta que “[Reform UK] en las últimas elecciones consiguieron muchos votos, pero solo un escaño. En más de 600 escaños solo consiguieron uno, alguien que fue apartado e ignorado. No creo que ahora tenga opciones tampoco”.“Un pony con un solo truco”Steve Ridding, inglés europeísta, está de visita en la ciudad. Cree que el Brexit es una creación de los conservadores para esconder las consecuencias de los recortes y la política de austeridad desde que llegaron al poder en 2010.“Es el mismo pony con un solo truco. Farage y Tice están intentando hacer lo mismo que con el Brexit. Reform no es un partido político, no está registrado como un partido político, está registrado como una compañía limitada. Y Nigel Farage tiene un sueldo en esa compañía limitada. Creo que leí que es el propietario del 59 por ciento de esa compañía”, explica.¿Es un negocio para él? “Sí, cuando alguien da dinero, va a parar a esa compañía. No es como el dinero que se dona a un partido político y se invierte en ese partido. Nadie le ha preguntado pero Farage tiene la residencia en Bélgica. Tiene nacionalidad belga. Y también consiguió la nacionalidad alemana para sus hijos. La solicitó justo después del Brexit”, prosigue. Y afirma que “el Brexit es el mayor actor de autolesión que ningún país ha cometido nunca”.“Espero que no gane, pero se presenta en distritos donde tiene posibilidad. Solo espero que la gente se dé cuenta de que es un pony con un solo truco y que es un estafador”, enfatiza Ridding. Cree que se está repitiendo la historia previa al Brexit: “[Reform UK] se está quedando con votos de los conservadores como sucedió con Cameron que se vio forzado a convocar el referéndum porque tenía miedo del entonces partido del UKIP. Y Reform es lo mismo que UKIP”, subraya. La diferencia es que ahora los conservadores no tienen opciones.Calcado al discurso del BrexitPor su parte, Mark Phillips, profesor del Boston College, explica que “Reform UK es una bandera o pancarta para la gente a la que no le gustan los extranjeros y desafortunadamente en un pueblo como este tienen mucho que decir porque la gente aquí está particularmente educada o culturizada y por desgracia es más fácil izar su bandera”.El discurso de Farage parece calcado al del Brexit. “Es bastante lo mismo, aunque de alguna manera es peor porque contiene más ideología de derecha, una lástima. Para ser honesto no creo que vayan a avanzar mucho en estas elecciones porque la gente ha visto cuál era su bandera y se ha dado cuenta de que este era un pueblo vibrante y ahora se está muriendo”, dice Phillips.
