  • The Bigger Picture: What Labour is getting right (& the Tories wrong) and Trump's Executive Orders

    The Bigger Picture: What Labour is getting right (& the Tories wrong) and Trump's Executive Orders
    Jan 30 2025
    Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that there was much in Rachel Reeves's recent speech, including her desire to see expansion at Heathrow, that was sensible and should have been done years ago by the Tories. But there was no realisation that her Budget had been disastrous, particularly on taxation. The Conservatives, though, are going about opposition in totally the wrong way and should recognise that there is a higher calling. With Trump's issuing of so many Executive Orders – so many his opponents will have trouble pushing back on all of them – he feels that America has almost discovered a monarchical system of government. But although some Europeans may be envious of the can-do spirit, he worries whether the polarisation of American politics may portend darker days ahead. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Bigger Picture: Trump's return as President, UK infrastructure & how safe is Rachel Reeves?

    The Bigger Picture: Trump's return as President, UK infrastructure & how safe is Rachel Reeves?
    Jan 23 2025
    Political commentator Mike Indian says that Trump's return to the White House represents a pivot back to US isolationism which leaves a void to be filled and means a less secure world. Despite outward appearances, he feels that Trump's Presidency should not be seen as normal. The UK Government's removal of legal challenges to UK infrastructure projects is, he says, a welcome development. While the Chancellor is under pressure from increasingly nervous money markets, Mike feels it is too early to write Rachel Reeves off yet, pointing out that her fortunes are very much bound up with Sir Keir Starmer.

  • The Bigger Picture: Is Labour pivoting right, a must-read book & Canada's federal elections

    The Bigger Picture: Is Labour pivoting right, a must-read book & Canada's federal elections
    Jan 17 2025
    Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University wonders, now the wheels are coming off the government's bus, if Labour is pivoting to the right, with rumoured welfare cuts, implementing the university free speech law and scrapping the banning of gas boilers by 2035. If so, how will the Conservatives react? He strongly recommends Peter Turchin's book, "End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites an Indicators of Revolution" and what it means for our times. And he discusses the probable change in government in Canada in the autumn and whether a new Conservative government will reconsider the role of the state. Learn more about your ad choices.
