Morgen,13 augustus, gaan de inwoners van Clacton-on-Sea naar de stembus. Alle ogen zijn gericht op maar één man: Nigel Farage. De leider van Reform UK vecht in de stad aan de Engelse oostkust opnieuw voor zijn zetel in het Lagerhuis. Van Clacton-on-Sea naar Cambridge, waar de perikelen rondom de jonge, zwarte professor Jason Arday inmiddels de gehele Britse academische wereld bezighoudt. Het onderzoek is nog in volle gang, en hoewel Arday alle aantijgingen ontkent, heeft hij inmiddels ontslag genomen. Dan door naar Wigan, daar ligt al maanden een enorme illegale afvalberg van zo’n 25.000 ton, pal naast een basisschool en woonhuizen. Omwonenden klagen al jaren over stank en mogelijk gevaarlijke stoffen. Inmiddels zijn vier mannen opgepakt en spreekt de Britse regering van georganiseerde afvalcriminaliteit. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praat Lia van Bekhoven deze week met Ruth Oei 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? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

On this day, 7 August 1842, a mass meeting of 18,000 workers took place in the UK, organised by the Chartist movement. They decided to call a general strike beginning the following day, demanding universal male suffrage, and opposing pay cuts. The strikes began and spread rapidly around the country, to towns including Manchester, Burnley, Preston, Macclesfield, Oldham, Wigan, and many more.Workers set up “committees of public safety” which coordinated action and gave permission for essential services to operate, such as water pumps which were needed to prevent coalmines from flooding.By late September, up to half a million workers had taken part in the strike.Troops were sent against the workers, and opened fire in towns including Halifax, Skipton, and Preston, while large numbers of strike leaders were arrested, and the strike began to falter.The final remaining strikers returned to work by the end of September. While voting rights weren't achieved, a number of groups of workers were successful in reducing or reversing proposed pay cuts.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10685/chartist-mass-meetingOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

In this episode rugby league legend and sports parent Martin Offiah joins Gordon MacLelland to discuss aspects of his career, how it has shaped him and his approach today and his role as a father supporting his two sons Tyler (Professional Player at Bath Rugby) and Phoenix (Academy Scholar Tottenham Hotspur) on their sporting journey.During the conversation they discuss amongst other things:The power of storytelling and legacy in motivating young athletesWhy comparison should be "self to self for improvement, not self to others"Engineering resilience and adversity into a child's daily routineThe contrast between coaching a child in your own sport and parenting a child in a sport you don't knowUsing leverage, reward and consistency to build skills and motivationThe role of validation from other athletes and mentors in landing a message with teenagersDocumenting a child's sporting journey to build belief and connection over timeHonest reflections on the hardest, least "rosy" parts of being a sports parentMartin Offiah MBE is one of rugby league's all-time greats. He began his rugby journey at Ipswich and Roslyn Park before becoming a legend with Widnes and Wigan, scoring over 500 tries and earning a statue outside Wembley for his iconic 1994 try. Inducted into the Hall of Fame, he also appeared on reality TV, including Strictly Come Dancing. From 2018 to 2025, he was a Brand Ambassador for Connected Kerb, helping them grow from startup to the UK's second-largest public EV charging provider. He also co-created the Offiah Activ mattress with Romantica Beds and now supports businesses through BDC. Across sport and business, he continues to inspire.Martin's approach to sports parenting draws directly on his own journey from a state school in Hackney to the top of professional sport, and on what he has learned navigating two sons through two very different sporting pathways. His philosophy centres on consistency, resilience, self-belief and the importance of helping young people find their own drive built through story, connection and the lived, daily habits of a sporting household.

Farming dominated the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek economy in the 1880s, even after gold was discovered in the eastern Transvaal but that was about to change. Last episode we heard about the early gold finds around Rustenburg which was part of the Witwatersrand Ward back in the late 1800s. Farms along the Ridge of White Waters had a fairly steady supply of water courtesy of the many springs that could be found along the ridge. Still, the freezing winters and the lack of wood meant the region was not in high demand despite water and fairly good soils. By 1886 dozens of diggers began arriving on the Witwatersrand, having heard reports of the earlier finds and growing tired of the limited options available in Pilgrims Rest. Others made their way from the south, from Kimberley or the coast, trekking on foot. Two of those were the George's I mentioned in episode 284 .. George Harrison and George Walker, who walked from the Orange Free State who had decided to chance their luck in Barberton. If it were possible and we teleported ourselves back to this time, we would have come across hundreds of other fortune seekers tramping across the countryside, determined to strike it lucky. George Harrison is a bit of a mystery. He was Australian, or perhaps more accurately, an Englishman who'd live in Australia and joined the gold rush there, failed to find any treasure, then read about the Eastern Transvaal Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest discoveries and made a B-line for South Africa. We don't know much more about Harrison's origin story. George Walker on the other hand had quite an extensive CV — born in Wigan in England in 1853, he made his way to Kimberley in 1879 but had little luck digging for diamonds. He joined a British cavalry contingent during the Anglo-Zulu war and fought in Zululand, after which he rode off to Pilgrim's Rest and Kaapsehoop to dig for gold. Coal had been discovered in large quantities in the Free State, and he first took up a job at the Witrand Coal Mine near Kroonstad, where he met Elizabeth Johanna Catharina Pretorius and the couple married in 1883. It was there that George Harrison bumped into him on his great trek from Kimberley to the eastern Transvaal gold fields and the two decided to try their luck one more time at Barberton. George Walker left his wife Catharina and children in Potchefstroom, and joined Harrison for their trek to Barberton. They broke their journey on the Witwatersrand, deciding to earn more cash to set themselves up with a wagon, horses and other necessities before heading on to Barberton. It just so happened that the Struben brothers were looking for builders around their Confidence Mine, which as you heard last episode, was somewhat of a misnomer. When Hendrik Potgieter and other Voortrekker reconnaissance parties arrived along the Vaal and Witwatersrand in 1836, battles followed, eventually the Ndebele were pushed out the Transvaal completely and ended up in Zimbabwe. The two Georges would have been aware of the Potgieter saga, but blissfully unaware of the pre-history as they wondered through Langlaagte Farm. Originally 2 260 Morgan in size, It had been broken up into four portions. In common with other pastoral communities across Southern Africa, Boer custom stipulated that marriage entailed a land grant or farm subdivision for every son. The difference is most African communities relied on the King or Chief assigning land, whereas in the Boers case, it was the grandfather, or the father. Portion A was owned by Andries Breedt, Portion B by Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder - her maiden name was Oosthuizen - Portion C by Gerhardus Oosthuizen, and Portion D by the widow Petronella Oosthuizen and her son, Jan Hendrick Oosthuizen. Portion D was where Harrison was working, building the widow and her son their home. George Walker and George Harrison strolled onto Gerhardus' Oosthuizen's Portion C property, when they stumbled on a well weathered outcrop of rock.

Jeremy Kyle reacts as Andy Burnham has unveiled a plan for a “No 10 North” in Manchester, promising a devolved, rewired Britain centred on housing, transport and regional power. Critics questioned the cost, detail and fairness, as reports said Burnham may govern partly from Wigan rather than Downing Street. Meanwhile, Starmer's final defence plan promised drones and new kit, but opponents said spending still lags behind Nato allies.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

Pudding, chips, and peas is a staple meal of any young lad growing up in Wigan in the 70s and 80s. Vegemite as an abomination until Nuggan and should be outlawed. These are not completely random musings but do have something to do with this week's episode. But will Corey and Kev enjoy a song about a sex party (apparently), will the Weyburn Godzilla be reigned back in during this week's game, and will the boys head off on the biggest tangent to date?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and mystify me.Songs covered in this episode: "Wild Life", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Mystify", "Kick", "Calling All Nations", "Tiny Daggers"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

From a by-election victory in Wigan, to the resignation of Keir Starmer, to an Avanti West Coast train bound for London, tracked by news helicopters - Andy Burnham's return to Westminster has been a remarkable spectacle.Whilst Burnham's coup has overcome multiple challenges to get to this point, in many ways, the hard part is about to begin.Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ailbhe Rea and Tom McTague to discuss.LISTEN AD-FREE:

Andy Burnham has won the historic Makerfield by-election, he's soon expected to speak to Starmer or trigger a leadership election.Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ethan Croft in Wigan.LISTEN AD-FREE:
Andy Burnham is the new Labour MP for Makerfield, heading for parliament and, likely, Number 10. But what does his momentous win here on the outskirts of Wigan tell us about his chances of masterminding a wider Labour revival as prime minister? Host Patrick Baker has been in the constituency over the past few weeks, speaking to people who live and work in this curiously normal part of the country about the prospect of a Burnham premiership. On the campaign trail, Labour MP Peter Dowd reveals what kind of reaction he has been getting on the doorstep and shares his enthusiasm for Burnham's economic agenda. Reform voters at the Bryn Community Centre in Ashton explain why they feel Labour has abandoned them, but hint they might look again at voting Labour if Burnham can deliver for their area as prime minister. Patrick speaks to locals supporting Rupert Lowe's hardline anti-immigration party Restore Britain, as well as those concerned that two insurgent parties on the right could provide a boost to Labour's electoral chances. And Rob Ford, professor of politics at the University of Manchester, explains why being a popular mayor may not so easily translate into being a successful PM. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tomorrow a by-election will be held in the parliamentary seat of Makerfield in Wigan, one of three taking place. Makerfield has found itself at the epicentre of British politics - and the result could decide the next prime minister. We look at what the polls are saying about the way women in the area are saying they will vote and what is impacting that decision. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth. Scotland are one of the home nations, alongside England and Ireland, hosting the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup currently taking place here. The Scots got their campaign underway last Saturday against Ireland with an historic win. Nuala is joined by the CEO of Cricket Scotland, Trudy Lindblade and by one of their team, all-rounder, Priyanaz Chatterji to talk about the growth of the women's game in Scotland and what this tournament means for the future of the game. Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster. Global Sex: What Sex Workers Know about Love and Capitalism is the title of a new book by the Danish anthropologist Sine Plambech. Sine Plambech is an internationally renowned expert on sex work, migration and human trafficking. Sine Plambech joins Nuala to tell us about her book and how she has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of money and sex across the globe, while introducing us to four women from Thailand and Nigeria at the heart of her research.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

A late-night drive on an almost empty stretch of the M6 should have been uneventful.But just past Wigan, one driver noticed a woman standing alone on the hard shoulder. No broken-down car. No hazard lights. No attempt to wave for help. Just a still figure in a light-coloured coat, facing the road as traffic passed in the dark.As the car drew level, she turned and looked directly at the driver - not frightened, not pleading, but waiting. A moment later, she was gone. No movement. No trace. Nothing visible in the mirror but the empty hard shoulder behind.In this short Fright Bites encounter, a seemingly ordinary motorway sighting becomes something far harder to explain, especially when a colleague later mentions the stories attached to that same stretch of road: reports of a woman seen near the place where a fatal accident was said to have happened years before.A quiet, chilling account of late-night roads, roadside ghosts, and the unnerving feeling that some places hold onto the final moments of those who never made it home.Enjoyed the episode?

Fright Bites - EP07 - Hard Shoulder tells the unsettling story of a late-night drive along the M6 near Wigan, where a lone figure standing on the hard shoulder became something far more disturbing. Just after midnight, with the motorway almost empty, a driver noticed what appeared to be a middle-aged woman in a light-coloured coat standing by the barrier. There was no car, no hazard lights, and no sign of distress — just a silent figure watching the traffic pass.As the driver slowed and passed, the woman turned and looked directly at them, her expression calm, almost expectant. Moments later, checking the rear-view mirror revealed nothing. The hard shoulder was empty. No movement. No sign anyone had been there. Weeks later, a colleague revealed that reports of a woman seen on that exact stretch of motorway had circulated for years, linked to a fatal accident where a stranded motorist had been struck and killed.This Fright Bites episode explores a classic roadside apparition — a fleeting encounter that leaves more questions than answers. If you're drawn to true paranormal stories, ghost sightings, mysterious phenomena, and scary stories rooted in real experiences, Hard Shoulder delivers a quiet but deeply unsettling encounter on a deserted motorway.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/haunted-uk-podcast-ghosts-paranormal-and-the-unexplained--6759967/support.

Where did the term 'Derby Match' come from? How did it become so widely used? And is the St Helens versus Wigan match the 'Original' Derby? This week's 'Rugby Reloaded' delves back into history to discover why matches between local rival teams are dubbed Derbies and asks how much substance is there to the claim that Saints against Wigan is the daddy of all Derbies. It's an intriguing story that takes us back to the 1700s and all the way to present day via ploughing, go-karts and TV's Kevin Brown. Intrigued? It's more interesting than you think!

Women are being forced to turn to loan sharks due to a "hidden" but devastating form of economic abuse, according to new research. Scottish Women's Aid has published a study on the problem of coerced debt – where an abusive current or ex-partner builds up debt in their victim's name, either without consent or knowledge or through force, threat or coercion. Anita Rani is joined by Dr Jenn Glinski, author of the report and the national policy lead for economic abuse at Scottish Women's Aid, to talk about the report findings.Menopause can be challenging for many women, but for those with ADHD, the experience can often feel like life is completely unravelling. For some women in their 40s, 50s and 60s it can also be the first time they realise they may have ADHD, as fluctuating hormones amplify their challenges with sleep, mood, attention and overwhelm. GP and Menopause expert Dr Helen Wall joined Anita to talk about her new book Menopause and ADHD, which aims to debunk some of the myths and support women navigating the combination.A new medical device to assist at birth is now in use in eight NHS trusts in the UK and 40 hospitals in the whole of Europe. The OdonAssist can replace forceps in many situations and is a much gentler way to deliver a baby which is stuck in the birth canal. NHS Specialist registrar Dr Emily Hotton has worked on the UK clinical trials. She describes how the device works and why it can give a much better outcome for both mothers and babies.M&S has announced that following a successful trial they are ditching the measuring tape for bra fittings. Other underwear retailers have done this for years, but how does it work fitting a bra by eye? Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, Professor of Biomechanics at Portsmouth University, and virtual bra fitter Katie Weir join Nuala McGovern to discuss. Canwen Xu was born in China and moved to the US when she was two years old. She grew up in predominately white areas – North and South Dakota and Idaho. When she was 18 she gave a TEDx talk, titled, I Am Not Your Asian Stereotype, which has been watched more than 3.7 million times. Canwen joins Anita to discuss her debut novel - Boring Asian Female – and its themes of identity, ambition, failure, and obsession.Love it or dread it, flat-pack furniture tests us all. But for Hayley McAuley from Wigan, it's a sport - she's just defended her title as Flatpack World Champion and tells Anita about the win.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Abdul Halim Khan, 54, was described as having abused the trust and authority that came with his position to carry out attacks against seven victims from the local Muslim community between 2005 and 2014. Presenter Anita Rani is joined by BBC Religion editor, Aleem Maqbool, and Aisha K Gill, a professor of criminology at the University of Bristol and expert witness in the case. Love it or dread it, flat-pack furniture tests us all. But for Hayley McAuley from Wigan, it's a sport - she's just defended her title as Flatpack World Champion and tells presenter Anita Rani how she did it.The Government wants to change how women are sentenced, with new courts designed to keep them out of prison and stop them reoffending. Instead, women must commit to change and have regular check ins with a judge. They are called intensive supervision courts and the first is already running in Birmingham, now ministers want to roll them out more widely. We hear from Joy Doal of the women's centre Anawim, who helped set up the pilot, and criminologist Professor Simon Pemberton on whether they really work.We meet the award-winning farmer running free workshops where food starts in the field, not a packet. Milly Fyfe has just been named Farming Woman of the Year at the National Women in Agriculture Awards. Her business, Countryside Kitchen, provides free workshops to show children how to shake cream to turn it into butter and teaches them exactly where their burgers and chicken nuggets come from.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths
Danny and Lee are back and very happy that we managed to beat Wigan and cement our place in League One next season. They talk about the game, the relief, Jackson getting the team spot on and everything else that happened on Saturday. They move on and discuss who they think will go down, who they want to go down and the importance in staying up. Also, why fans should now relax and enjoy the moment and let the questions on the season be left to Jackson and his team and Craig Cope. They finish their Wimbledon 11 and who starts up front, a struggle to pick a main striker. They finish by discussing Huddersfield on Saturday and give their Fletcher Fabrications predictions. Thanks to Gary and Fletcher Fabrications for sponsoring this season prediction league and also Simon and Ori Carr for sponsoring this season podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header! The boys start off the show by looking back at Monday's action in Wigan and Justin Hood's run to his first PDC senior final in Players Championship 9. Peter Citera (10:56, the CEO of the CDC, calls in ahead of the start of the new CDC season with the Cross Border Challenge curtain raiser this weekend. Peter talks all things CDC, including the expansion of events last year, the introduction of 'special events' on the tour, taking one of their major events to Canada for the first time, the prospect of the US Darts Masters moving into the main arena at Madison Square Garden, and lots more. The boys continue their ProTourreview by discussing Scott Waites' run to a first Players Championship final in Players Championship 10 on Tuesday. The reigning Las Vegas Open champion Jason Brandon (49:40) also joins the show ahead of playing in the CDC Cross Border Challenge this weekend. Jason looks back on his career so far from first picking up darts in his early 20s, winning a CDC title in the organisation's first year in 2015, his emergence on the WDF tour and reaching the semi-finals on his Lakeside debut in 2024, and having a short spell as WDF #1 after winning the gold ranked Las Vegas Open at the start of this year.

New series. Eight years deep. Same nonsense. We're kicking things off with a belter… Pascal Chimbonda and trust us, he delivers. Perhaps the most laid-back man in the world, but my word he's got some stories. Rocking up at Wigan without speaking a word of English, his time there was eventful on and off the pitch. A brilliant debut season saw him earn a shock call-up to France's World Cup squad but it all ended in dramatic fashion when he handed in a transfer request in the dressing room straight after the final game of the season. With front-row seats for Zidane's infamous headbutt, we find out exactly what Wigan's Pascal Chimbonda says to French legend Zizou after he's potentially cost him a World Cup winners' medal. Dubbed Roy Keane's “worst ever signing”, we dig into what really went wrong between them and along the way hear plenty of stories about being pinned up by Big Dunc, Jimmy Bullard's antics, and sharing a dressing room with Browny at Doncaster.

In this episode we look back at the 4-0 win over Wigan in the FA Cup 4th round on Sunday. It looked like we were going to see Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield, but a late rejig saw Bukayo Saka play there instead. There's a lot of discussion of him in that position, and whether it's something we might, or indeed should, see more of between now and the end of the season. We discuss the flurry of goals we scored in the first half, the contribution of Eberechi Eze with two assists, a firing forward line, and the way the rest of the game played out with some interesting young cameos in the second half. There are also listener questions about Cristhian Mosquera, Ethan Nwaneri's unsettled situation in Marseille, Ben White and Christian Norgaard, injuries in the warm-ups, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogAlso, if you're a fan of the show, please leave us a rating/review on your favourite podcast app, it'd be greatly appreciated!
