With Farage backing steel nationalisation, is public ownership back in fashion? 49:33

6 gün önce49:33

49:33

For decades nationalisation was the great taboo in British politics, while privatisation was deemed the great triumph of Thatcherism. Blair and Brown were opposed to any attempt to renationalise – but now there is cross party support for the nationalisation of British Steel, the railways are being renationalised and there is huge support for the government to take over water companies. What’s happening… and why? Rock & Roll Politics is live at Kings Place on May 8th. Tickets available here .

Will Brexit Britain flourish in the New World Order? 42:28

42:28

Is there a hint of British exceptionalism in the early days of the Trump-induced economic crisis? Apparently the UK got off lightly, while Keir Starmer can be a ‘bridgehead’ between Europe and the US. Let’s see… Rock & Roll Politics is live at Kings Place on the 8th of May, just days after local elections and the Runcorn by-election. Tickets available here .

Is Rachel Reeves trapped by her fiscal rules? 1:04:24

1:04:24

This week Rachel Reeves announces more spending cuts in order to meet her fiscal rules, and the OBR’s verdict on her ‘fiscal headroom’. But what was the original purpose of ‘the fiscal rules’ and has Reeves learned the lessons from past Labour chancellors? Some context in a week that could doom a landslide government to being trapped rather than liberated by a chancellor’s ‘ironclad’ rules.

Is Wes Streeting taking back control? 1:01:09

The decision to scrap NHS England is a rare example of clear thinking in relation to delivery of public services. Can such clarity be applied more widely or will chaotic lines of management from the BBC to the railways continue to prevail? Some context from the 1980s, the New Labour era and David Cameron’s shallow and confused thinking when he set up NHS England.

What will it mean to have ‘boots on the ground’? 46:19

7 weeks önce46:19

46:19

Keir Starmer is enjoying his best media coverage since the election – but the UK commentariat always hails the appearance of ‘strong leadership’ during the early phase of an international crisis. Tough choices can still be avoided, but what happens when the consequences are played out and these vaguely defined choices must be made? The commentariat in the UK can turn speedily… and so can voters. Subscribe to Patreon for live events, bonus podcasts and to get the regular podcast a day early and ad free.

The moving parts in the international crisis continue to move. Macron and Starmer in Washington, a new government to form in Germany and Trump never far away from a TV screen.

Trump has instigated peace talks with Putin. The UK, France and Germany are alarmed, but what did they expect? And in their responses are they making a war with Russia more likely, and with what consequences?

Who are the ‘incumbent disrupters’ in Keir Starmer’s government? 58:27

10 weeks önce58:27

58:27

The new fashionable term in politics is ‘disrupter’ or ‘insurgent’. Morgan McSweeney briefs that the government must be insurgents, but does he mean it? The cautious Number 10 operation seems wary of genuine change making ministers, so who are the insurgents? And can Starmer be one?

Trump is back. What are the lessons for Starmer? 53:15

13 weeks önce53:15

53:15

Trump has won again as a disruptor, reflecting the mood of an impatient electorate aching for change. Starmer won the election last year arguing for ‘change’ – but can he become a confident changemaker? And why are hardline Brexiteers so content with Trump’s power to determine the fate of the British economy, while obsessing over Westminster sovereignty in relation to the EU?

Should the Liberal Democrats be getting more media attention? 51:55

14 weeks önce51:55

51:55

Nigel Farage commands the airwaves with only four MPs – and the two bigger parties obsess about the threat posed by Reform. Yet it’s the Lib Dems that made sweeping gains in Tory areas and have 72 MPs. As Keir Starmer’s cautious government gives them space on issues such as social care and Europe, and the media focuses on Reform, could they become a force again?

The announcement that a national care service will be the subject of another review shines light on a government with a landslide majority, but that is reluctant to use it in order to achieve challenging but historic change.
