Crisis at the BBC and warnings on tax

What lessons does America have for our politics? While progressives look to Zohran Mamdani for inspiration on how to get elected successfully, the really important question is how to govern effectively. And here it is the Trump administration which is setting the standard, writes Tim Shipman in this week's cover story. On day one, Donald Trump stepped into the Oval Office ready to ‘move fast and break things', signing a flurry of executive orders with the backing of unflinching loyalists. Brits who may have been appalled by Trump in his first term are now envious of his administration's lack of infighting and success in bringing illegal migration to a halt, as well as securing a ceasefire in Gaza, attacking Iranian nuclear sites and applying pressure on Vladimir Putin. Here in Westminster, Labour arrived in government with no clear idea what they were doing or, as things have deteriorated, what to do next.The Spectator US Editor Freddy Gray speaks to Tim Shipman.Produced by Megan McElroy.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

fWotD Episode 3109: Hensley Henson Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 8 November 2025, is Hensley Henson.Herbert Hensley Henson (8 November 1863 – 27 September 1947) was an English Anglican cleric, scholar and polemicist. He was Bishop of Hereford from 1918 to 1920 and Bishop of Durham from 1920 to 1939.Henson's father was a devout follower of the Christian sect the Plymouth Brethren and disapproved of schools. Henson was not allowed to go to school until he was fourteen, and was largely self-educated. He was admitted to the University of Oxford, and gained a first-class degree in 1884. In the same year he was elected as a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and began to make a reputation as a speaker. He was ordained priest in 1888.Feeling a vocation to minister to the urban poor, Henson served in the East End of London and Barking before becoming chaplain of a 12th-century hospice in Ilford in 1895. In 1900 he was appointed to the prominent post of rector of St Margaret's, Westminster, and canon of Westminster Abbey. While there, and subsequently as Dean of Durham (1913–1918), he wrote prolifically and sometimes controversially. He was tolerant of a wide range of theological views; because of this some members of the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church of England accused him of heresy and sought unsuccessfully to block his appointment as Bishop of Hereford in 1917.In 1920 after two years in the largely rural diocese of Hereford, Henson returned to Durham in the industrial north-east of England as its bishop. The area was badly affected by an economic depression. Henson was opposed to strikes, trade unions and socialism, and for a time his outspoken denunciation of them made him unpopular in the diocese. Some of his opinions changed radically during his career: at first a strong advocate of the Church of England's continued establishment as the country's official church, he came to believe that politicians could not be trusted to legislate properly on ecclesiastical matters, and he espoused the cause of disestablishment. He campaigned against prohibition, the exploitation of foreign workers by British companies, and fascist and Nazi aggression. He supported reform of the divorce laws, the controversial 1928 revision of the Book of Common Prayer, and ecumenism.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:35 UTC on Saturday, 8 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hensley Henson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ayanda.

Does anyone care about British farmers? Those ploughing the fields and harvesting crops certainly don't feel Westminster pays attention to them. So this week Westminster Insider finds out how the relationship between politics and farming – from post-Brexit trade deals to inheritance tax. She speaks to NFU President Tom Bradshaw about how Keir Starmer set up the promise of hope for farmers, before swiftly letting them down. Michael Gove, editor of the Spectator and former Conservative Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) Secretary, admits the Australia trade deal did betray Britain's farmers. Emma Pryor, former special advisor to Defra Secretary George Eustice, explains how subsidies, which mean farmers can make a profit on producing food, changed after Brexit. And Sascha heads to rural South West Norfolk, where she speaks to Terry Jermy, the Labour MP who ousted Liz Truss. He tells her the new rules on inheritance tax are "unfortunate" and he hopes they are changed. Sascha gets on a tractor harvesting potatoes and speaks to farmers Danielle and Richard Gott. And she visits a farm run by Ed Pope which has turned 170 acres of the property into wildlife conservation.

It's November 8th, 1674. The rain drifts softly over London as the light fades early and a blind old poet slips away in Bunhill Fields. This London Calling podcast follows John Milton – born in Bread Street, schooled under St Paul's, hunted near St Bartholomew-the-Great, dictating Paradise Lost in Petty France – through the London of his life and death. We meet “the Lady of Christ's,” the young scholar who became the thunderous voice of English verse; the blind visionary who saw eternity more clearly than most. From the alleys of the City to the stained-glass glow of the Milton Window in St Margaret's, Westminster, it's a portrait of the Londoner who gave the world its most magnificent lines.

Este episodio cuenta la historia y el pulso espiritual de Jeremiah Burroughs (1600–1646): formado en Emmanuel, Cambridge, discípulo de Thomas Hooker, silenciado por el laudismo y afilado en el exilio de Róterdam antes de convertirse en la “estrella de la mañana de Stepney” en el Londres revolucionario. En la Asamblea de Westminster, Burroughs fue uno de los Five Dissenting Brethren: defendió iglesias congregacionales, pidió tolerancia en la Apologeticall Narration (1644) y sostuvo que la variedad de opiniones no rompe la unidad en el evangelio.  Releemos sus obras más influyentes —The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, Gospel Worship, A Treatise of Earthly-Mindedness e Irenicum— como un mapa de piedad experimental que equilibra ley y evangelio, doctrina y afectos, culto reverente y caridad práctica.  ¿Qué aprendemos hoy de su “disenso irénico”? Claves para cultivar contentamiento, humildad y libertad de conciencia sin relativismo; pautas para predicar con claridad y pastorear en tiempos polarizados. Un retrato del independiente moderado cuya voz sigue sonando sorprendentemente actual.

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, Jonathan Thomas takes listeners on a journey through significant locations in Britain associated with Sir Winston Churchill. The discussion begins with key sites in London, including the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, and the Cabinet War Rooms, highlighting their importance in Churchill's life and career. The conversation then shifts to notable places outside of London, such as Blenheim Palace and Chartwell, which were pivotal in shaping Churchill's identity. The episode concludes with a look at international connections to Churchill's legacy, including museums and archives in the United States. Links Houses of Parliament Tours - Palace of Westminster official tour booking page Churchill War Rooms - Imperial War Museums official site 10 Downing Street - UK Government page (note: not open to the public) Chartwell National Trust Blenheim Palace Official Website Harrow School Royal MIlitary Academy Sandhurst Churchill Archives Cambridge National Churchill Museum Fulton, Missouri International Churchill Society Wallace Collection Churchill Paintings Exhibition (2026) Tim Riley Churchill Podcast Churchill Archive Podcast Takeaways Churchill's connection to London was profound and influential. The Houses of Parliament served as a key location for Churchill's political career. Chartwell was not just a home but a source of inspiration for Churchill. Blenheim Palace is significant as Churchill's birthplace and family heritage site. The Cabinet War Rooms provide insight into Churchill's leadership during WWII. Churchill's speeches were often first delivered in the House of Commons. The Churchill Archives at Cambridge is a valuable resource for research. Churchill's legacy extends beyond the UK, with significant sites in the US. The Wallace Collection will host a major exhibition of Churchill's paintings in 2026. Visiting Churchill-related sites offers a deeper understanding of his impact on history. Sound Bites "If he had a single place of work that was most important to him, it would be the Houses of Parliament and the Palace of Westminster." "He genuinely had a great love and affection for the Houses of Parliament. He thought they were beautiful. He thought they were the heart of the empire. He thought that it was an immense privilege to work there." "Many people don't know that when you hear recordings of Churchill's speeches, most of those were actually recorded after the war." "He famously said that a day away from Chartwell is a day wasted." "To him, the manor house represented the England that he loved the most." "Chartwell is not a grand house. It's not like Blenheim Palace. Blenheim Palace is a palace. Chartwell is a family home." "He produced much of his literary output that he would eventually win the Nobel Prize for literature for." "I should do a whole podcast on Young Churchill because some of the stuff that he did is wild." "We're going to guide you through the places, why they're important to Churchill, and then give you some visiting tips in case you would like to visit." "It's where he wrote, it's where he painted, it's where he had his family life and raised his children in the later years."

Hola, soy Miriam Prada, interiorista española viviendo en Londres, y en este episodio te invito a descubrir conmigo la fascinante historia detrás de la casa que fue de Shakira y Piqué, y que ahora pertenece a Lamine Yamal, la nueva joya del fútbol español. Más allá de la noticia viral, analizo cada detalle de este proyecto arquitectónico único: su diseño minimalista, su conexión con la naturaleza, su distribución innovadora en tres viviendas y cómo refleja la búsqueda de paz y exclusividad de sus propietarios. Desde la orientación solar hasta el alma de los espacios, te cuento cómo un diseño puede contar la historia de una vida… y cómo esta vivienda redefine lo que significa lujo contemporáneo en España. Gracias por darle al play. Miriam Prada Un poco sobre mí... Soy Ingeniera de la Edificación y diseñadora de interiores, me he especializado en proyectos de alta gama. Con 15 años de experiencia en la industria del diseño, he tenido el privilegio de colaborar con una amplia gama de clientes, incluyendo promotores, constructores, agentes de la propiedad inmobiliaria, empresarios y clientes privados. He completado con éxito más de 25 proyectos en siete países diferentes (España, Reino Unido, Bahréin, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, y Suiza) y he tenido el placer de trabajar con clientes de 11 nacionalidades. Mi proyecto de más valía hasta la fecha supera los 50 millones de libras, y uno de mis logros más destacados fue el diseño de una promoción de 16 apartamentos, donde el ático se posicionó con un récord histórico como el piso de un dormitorio mejor pagado por metro cuadrado en la historia de Westminster, Londres. Actualmente vivo en Londres y continúo trabajando en múltiples proyectos locales e internacionales. Aprovechando las capacidades del mundo digital, he producido y lanzado este podcast, "Atelier Prada", donde, de manera distendida y coloquial, abordo diferentes temas del mundo del interior con el objetivo de compartir parte del conocimiento que he adquirido durante estos años cada semana.  Para obtener más inspiración en diseño de interiores   www.miriamprada.com https://miriamprada.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/@miriamprada https://www.instagram.com/bymiriamprada/  https://www.tiktok.com/@bymiriamprada    Aviso legal: Nadie patrocina este PODCAST.

With three weeks until the Budget, the main political parties have been setting out their economic thinking. Each faces the same bind: anaemic growth, fiscal constraints and uncomfortable exposure to the bond markets. The upshot is that there is less ‘clear blue water' on the economy between Labour, the Conservatives and Reform.This has left a space for energy to emerge as the policy area in which to differentiate the parties in this new era of five-party politics. The Westminster energy consensus is over – Net Zero is not as popular as it once was – and the parties are setting out their stalls. Could energy win the next election?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Michael Simmons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

An unwritten rule, at least until now, of the show is, if you show up with a theme song you can call it a segment. Greg's Addiction is kind of like Three For Thursday, except with only one artist. On our premiere episode… there's no other way to put it, Greg is hooked on Geese.Songs:Terje Rypdal - “Sunrise”Geese - “Mysterious Love (Live)”Geese - “2122 (Live)”Geese - “Taxes (Live)”What's cooking this week in Jay's Jambalaya? Former Grateful Dead member Donna Godchaux dies at the age of 78. Spotify sued over Drake play count, and the top earning posthumous musicians of the past year.Song: Daniel Santiago & Kurt Rosenwinkel - “Gesture”Jay & Nick caught DOOM GONG in Westminster, MD last week.

Recorded in the middle of the night, Marvyn breaks down how New York elected its first Muslim, South Asian, democratic socialist mayor under Donald Trump, why California quietly rewired Congress with one ballot measure, and how Virginia and New Jersey just told the rest of America where voters actually stand. This is not a vibes recap. It's a live autopsy on power, maps, money and hope. Full show noteTonight's Dope Black Desk is not from Westminster or City Hall. Emotionally, it's in New York, California, Virginia and New Jersey at the same time. Marvyn walks through the election results that look “local” on paper but actually redraw the global map of power in a Trump era. In this episode, he breaks down: • New York City electing Zoran Mamdani — 34-year-old democratic socialist, first Muslim and South Asian mayor, ex–housing counsellor, in the financial capital of the world• How Mamdani beat a disgraced former governor and a Republican talk-radio veteran, with Trump backing Cuomo instead of his own party's candidate• Mamdani's four “impossible” promises: free citywide buses, universal childcare, rent freezes, and city-run grocery stores in food deserts• Why bodegas, Yemeni owners, unions, taxi drivers, immigrants and young voters formed a single coalition and toppled an old political dynasty• Trump's threats to punish New York and brand Mamdani a “communist”, and why that bluff could push him into full-blown war-crime territory if he actually follows through• The donor class, pro-Israel money, Gaza, genocide language and why this mayoral race became a referendum on who really owns American politics• How the middle class has been swapped out for racial hierarchy and why that model is breaking down in real timeThen Marvyn zooms out: • California's Prop 50: a mid-decade redistricting move designed to cancel out Texas's GOP map and hand Democrats up to five extra House seats• Why this is an “arms race on maps not manifestos” and how one technical vote can decide who controls Congress in 2026• Gerrymandering, the Supreme Court, state courts, and why Democrats finally stopped pretending they were “above” playing the same power gameHe finishes with the governor races: • Virginia: Abigail Spanberger, ex-CIA, becomes the state's first woman governor by running on anti-chaos, cost of living and competence• New Jersey: Mikie Sherrill, Navy helicopter pilot and former prosecutor, wins on affordability, child tax credits and abortion protection• Why voters in ex-red states are choosing stability over Trump-style chaos, even when Republicans put forward barrier-breaking candidates• How all of this connects back to London, food deserts, mini-mart markups, and a UK political class turning every square metre of life into a productUnderneath the US headlines, this is an episode about: • Who draws the map• Who pays the price• And whether any of this can still translate into a city or a country you can afford to raise a family in Hosted on Acast.

Eric Frandsen and Jason Walker give their takes on Monday's season-opener for Utah State men's basketball, including thoughts on how each player did on the evening and what it means for the eventual rotation and future performances of those players and the team. And then, a look back at the stunning upset by Hawaii-Pacific over Boise State, handing the Broncos a rare loss to a Division II team. And also answering the question of whether or not it will truly count against a potential NCAA Tournament resume.

PM Keir Starmer flies to the Brazilian rainforest for the COP30 climate conference, a trip he almost biffed off, but the surge in polling support for the Green party may have changed his mind. He'll join Prince William and the King out in the Amazon – at the same time as considering rolling back on some of the government's climate commitments. Back home, Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces criticism over her warnings for the next budget, while she brings in experts to school Labour MPs on how budgets, debts, and deficits actually work. And there's a mini recess for Westminster, so Sam and Anne have an extra few days off. They return on Monday.

De zaak tegen twee Britse mannen, verdacht van spionage voor China, is in het water gevallen. Niet omdat het bewijs tegen de twee ontbreekt, maar omdat Westminster niet hardop wil zeggen dat China een gevaar kan zijn voor de staatsveiligheid. De mannen zijn overigens niet eens blij met deze uitkomst, ze hadden graag voor de rechter hun onschuld bepleit. Ook in deze aflevering Is het probleem van Prince Andrew dan toch existentieel voor de Britse monarchie? Charles gaat in elk geval een stap verder dan voorheen gedacht. Zijn broer levert gedwongen al zijn titels in, zelfs die van Prins. De vraag is of dit offer genoeg is. De populariteit van het Britse koningshuis is op een dieptepunt beland. Waar het wel goed mee gaat? Corner shops. Deze typisch britse kleine kruidenierswinkeltjes zijn al vele malen afgeschreven als gedoemd, maar blijven populair. Wat zit daarachter? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

“Remember, remember the Fifth of November…” It's one of the most famous rhymes in English history, but behind the fireworks and bonfires lies a night of terror, faith, and betrayal that almost changed the course of Britain forever. On 5th November 1605, guards discovered Guy Fawkes in the cellars beneath the Palace of Westminster, surrounded by 36 barrels of gunpowder. His mission? To blow up King James I, the royal family, and Parliament in one devastating explosion. In this podcast, I uncover the gripping true story of the Gunpowder Plot — how religious tension, persecution, and broken promises drove a group of young English Catholics, led by Robert Catesby, to plan the ultimate act of treason, and how it all started in Elizabeth i's reign. Discover how: - A secret undercroft was filled with gunpowder right beneath the Lords chamber - A mysterious letter betrayed the plotters' plan - And how one night's failure created centuries of tradition, from Bonfire Night to the cry of “Remember, remember the Fifth of November!” Recommended Reading & Viewing: – God's Traitors by Jessie Childs – Gunpowder (BBC/HBO mini-series, starring Kit Harington) #GuyFawkes #GunpowderPlot #BonfireNight #JamesI #RobertCatesby #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #ClaireRidgway #AnneBoleynFiles #HistoryExplained #EarlyStuartHistory #TreasonAndPlot

The Chancellor breaks the norm by making a speech in Downing Street 22 days ahead of the budget – with everyone closely watching for what exactly she says on tax rises. Sam and Anne consider why Rachel Reeves is doing it now and how budget preparations have changed since Liz Truss' days. We're not expecting new policy from the Treasury, more an event which tries to prepare voters for tax changes. Elsewhere in Westminster, Conservative leader – Kemi Badenoch – is out and about attacking the government's spending on the welfare bill. Plus, we have our weekly check-in on the state of the polls.

Aggie game recap for Utah State vs Westminster on November 3, 2025

Head coach Jerrod Calhoun speaks with Scotty and Spencer after Utah State's 110 to 54 blowout win against Westminster on November 3, 2025

At 8:10 this morning the Chancellor made a speech in Westminster. 45 minutes later no one was any the wiser. She promised to be honest with the public but refused to confirm tax rises or a commitment to her manifesto pledge and rule them out.

Utah State men's basketball opened its 2025-26 season with a dominant 110-54 victory over Westminster inside the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on Monday night. The Aggies controlled the game from the start, with five different players scoring in double figures. Senior guard MJ Collins Jr. led the explosive performance, pacing the team with 23 points. The decisive victory marks a strong start to the season for the Aggies (1-0, 0-0 MW). Utah State will head on the road this weekend as it travels to Frisco, Texas, for a neutral site matchup against VCU on Friday. Hear reactions from Coach Jerrod Calhoun, players and fans. 

Rachel Reeves' speech on Tuesday gave every indication that tax rises are on the way — though she was careful not to name names.The challenge is clear: raising serious revenue usually means turning to the big three — income tax, National Insurance, or VAT. But Labour's manifesto ruled those out, leaving the Chancellor with a fiscal puzzle and limited room to manoeuvre.Joining CapX deputy editor Joseph Dinnage to make sense of it all are Reem Ibrahim from the Institute of Economic Affairs and Henry Hill from Conservative Home.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

England's thousand-year legacy won't be saved by sentiment. With stories from pulpits and political dinners alike, the hosts show why "keep the culture, lose the creed" always ends in sand. The path back is narrow and non-negotiable: Scripture alone, Christ alone, repentance that bears fruit, and churches bright enough that no one mistakes darkness for light.

Should the Right back Britain's most ambitious science corridor? The Oxford–Cambridge Arc has long been dismissed as another government slogan in search of substance. Yet beneath the jargon lies a bold vision: a world-class corridor linking Britain's greatest minds, laboratories, and industries—from quantum computing to Formula One. In this essay, James Price, Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute, argues that the Arc could be the key to Britain's renewal—if only conservatives have the courage to back it. With smarter planning, faster connections, and freer markets, he says, the region could transform from a bureaucratic idea into a global powerhouse.Despatch brings you the best writing from CapX — the sharpest ideas from the UK's most insightful daily newsletter.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

We know the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 failed – but what if it hadn't? What if Guy Fawkes had ignited the gunpowder under parliament, killing the king, nobles and bishops, and reducing Westminster to rubble? In the penultimate episode of our series on the plot, Danny Bird speaks to historian John Cooper to consider an alternative course in Britain's history. Could a child queen have become a puppet for a restored Catholic kingdom? Might foreign powers have intervened, and could Britain and Ireland have descended into religious civil war? ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to know more about the Gunpowder Plot?

A message by Pastor Jared Burke from Ezra 5 & 6 at Bethany Bible Fellowship, Westminster, California

As Sir Keir Starmer's leadership of the Labour party comes under increasing pressure and criticism, we profile a man who may well be waiting in the wings. Andy Burnham, a Labour stalwart who started his political career in the Blair and Brown era, seems determined to have his say in the party's future too. Last month, he caused a political storm when he was widely interpreted as openly challenging Sir Keir Starmer's authority during the party conference, confirming that MPs had contacted him about returning to Westminster to run for the party leadership. It's not his first brush with the Labour leadership - he lost two contests in the 2010s before leaving Westminster to win the Greater Manchester mayoralty, a role which has further increased his profile and earned him the nickname ‘King of the North', a nod to his popularity within the region. Stephen Smith speaks to his friends, family and political peers to find out what shaped one of the most influential figures in today's Labour party, and whether his criticism of the government could propel him to the top job, or keep him from it. Presenter: Stephen Smith Producers: Ben Crighton, Nathan Gower, Alex Loftus and Mhairi MacKenzie Editor: Justine Lang Sound Editor: Gareth Jones and Duncan Hannant Production Coordinator: Sabine Schereck and Maria OgundeleArchive: Perisher: Million Pound Captains (BBC) Boys from the Blackstuff (BBC)

With Jeremy Corbyn's Your Party suffering some teething problems, host Patrick Baker delves into the art of starting a new political outfit. Corbyn himself speaks to POLITICO's Bethany Dawson at one of the many Your Party regional assemblies happening across the country. With tensions between Corbyn and co-leader Zarah Sultana simmering as the duo try to get their start up off the ground, Labour insider Sienna Rodgers of The House magazine explains the roots of the discord and how rival factions have been undermining the party's progress at an early stage. Patrick sits down with former Change UK MP Gavin Shuker in Nando's, site of one of the now-extinct party's early summits, to discuss the pitfalls of starting a new venture in Westminster. Journalist Catherine Mayer, who co-founded the Women's Equality Party alongside comedian Sandi Toksvig, lifts the lid on the curious underworld of smaller political parties and the outsized impact they can have on our politics. Professor Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, tells the story of arguably the U.K.'s most consequential political newbie and describes how he slowly lost control of the party to Nigel Farage. And Reform UK board member and Farage's former press secretary Gawain Towler sets out how he believes the U.K.'s current insurgent can complete its journey from newcomer to party of power.
