  Is the UK heading for a break up?

  Sep 25, 202624 minS1

  The nationalist parties of the UK's devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have warned 'Westminster’s time is coming to an end'. The Scottish National Party, Wales’ Plaid Cymru and all-Ireland Sinn Féin joined forces to sign a declaration on their ‘right to self determination’. Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney and Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill called for independence referendums while Wales’ First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth hasn’t given a specific timetable for one in his country. US President Donald Trump has given his blessing for the unification of Ireland, saying he would 'love' to see it and that it 'may as well happen now’. So, is the breakup of the United Kingdom becoming a real possibility? What would Scottish or Welsh independence or Irish reunification actually look like?

  Is the EU the most reliable UN partner?

  Sep 23, 202623 minS1

  The 81st UN General Assembly is underway in New York, with nearly 130 world leaders gathering to discuss wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, humanitarian crises and the rapid development of AI. This year’s theme is ‘Restoring trust, managing transformation: a United Nations that delivers for all.’ But behind the speeches is another pressing question: who can the UN rely on for financial support? The EU and its member states provided more than one third of the UN system’s voluntary funding in 2025. While US support for international assistance has been sharply reduced under President Trump. The US owes over $4 billion to the UN in unpaid mandatory contributions. So, as the United States steps back, is Europe becoming an increasingly important partner for the United Nations?

  Why is anti-migrant activism on the rise in Britain?

  Sep 15, 202624 minS1

  Mass anti-migrant protests have been erupting in Britain with hundreds of masked men blocking England's busiest port Dover and in Portsmouth where a mega dinghy carrying 140 migrants landed. Riot police clashed with the demonstrators as they tried to stop a bus carrying asylum seekers from leaving. During the most recent protests in Portsmouth two men and a teenage boy were arrested. The government has condemned the violent behaviour calling it "thuggish and intimidating". Anti-immigration group Patriot Platform led by influencer Danny Thomas organised the protests and donations have been rolling in for the platform. So why is Britain experiencing an increase in anti-immigrant sentiment when the number of small boats arriving has actually dropped since last year's record highs. Plus, how will the arrival of new mega dinghies along a different migration impact numbers? Can the boats be stopped? And if they are, will it calm anti-migrant tensions? Joining Enda Brady for this discussion: Claire Pearsall Former Special Adviser at the UK's Home Office Sebastian Salek Former Labour Councillor and Political Journalist Mihnea Cuibus Senior Researcher at The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford Follow the podcast to keep up to date and access the back catalogue of Roundtable discussions at https://www.youtube.com/@RoundtableTRTWorld Hosted on Acast.

  Can anything stop right-wing AfD’s rise in Germany?

  Sep 10, 202623 minS1

  The Alternative for Deutschland party has won an historic victory in the Saxony-Anhalt state election. The right-wing anti-migrant party took 43.8% of the vote to win its first state premiership and is in seeking support from other parties in order to govern. For months the AfD has also been riding high in national opinion polls as the country’s most popular party. Where does this leave the unpopular German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his centre-right CDU? Could this be the start of the AfD's path to ruling Germany? Joining Enda Brady for this discussion: Frank-Christian Hansel, Member of the Berlin parliament for the AFD Author, John Kampfner Javier Carbonell, Analyst at the European Policy Centre Ed Turner, Co-director for the Centre for Europe at Aston University Follow the podcast to keep up to date and access the back catalogue of Roundtable discussions at https://www.youtube.com/@RoundtableTRTWorld #AfD #GermanPolitics #SaxonyAnhalt #Europe #europeanpolitics Hosted on Acast.

  Is it over for Farage as police investigate Reform UK donations?

  Sep 9, 202623 minS1

  The UK Metropolitan Police is carrying out a criminal investigation into allegations the Reform party broke electoral law by accepting foreign funding, following a Channel 4 news undercover report. Two of the party's top aides James Orr and Dan Jukes who were filmed in the report resigned over the scandal. Reform UK spokesperson said the party ‘denies any wrongdoing and will fully cooperate with the investigation’. Support for the party has already started to slip, polling has dropped from over 30% in late 2025 to around 20% last month. Farage is still popular with his base and with fellow right-wing leaders in Europe, such as Jordan Bardella from France’s National Rally. As the police begin their investigation into this donation scandal, can Farage revive his party’s popularity?
