The Week In Politics - Trussed Up In Tufton Street

The Week In Politics - Trussed Up In Tufton Street

Author: Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show September 30, 2022 Duration: 29:39
What a week it’s been. The Bank of England was forced into a £65bn intervention to head off a pensions crisis triggered by new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s Financial Statement which proposed a 5p in the pound cut in the top rate of income tax, funded by massive borrowing.  The markets were spooked, and a round of local radio interviews with Liz Truss to retrieve the situation was generally regarded as being not so much a car crash as a multi vehicle pile up. Meanwhile, off the back of a Party Conference that proposed a publicly owned green energy company, Labour has amassed a 33 point lead in the polls. Adrian Goldberg hears analysis from Sam Bright, Byline Times Investigations Editor and author of Fortress London; Why We Need To Save The Country from its capital and Adam Bienkov Byline Times Westminster correspondent. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White. Funded by subscriptions to Byline Times.

Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show is exactly that: a series of conversations driven by the host's curiosity about the people and forces shaping our world. This podcast sits at the intersection of society and culture, exploring the stories behind the headlines and the ideas that often go unexamined. Adrian brings his journalistic background to each discussion, creating a space where guests-from thinkers and writers to everyday people with extraordinary experiences-can speak in depth. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, more like a compelling chat in a quiet pub than a formal interview. You'll hear explorations of politics, community shifts, artistic movements, and the subtle ways our lives are changing. It’s a show built on the premise that good talk can illuminate the bigger picture, one conversation at a time. Listeners find themselves drawn into dialogues that are both timely and timeless, where the focus is on understanding rather than spectacle. Tune in for a podcast that values substance and genuine exchange, where the title truly is the promise.
