News about Andrew Marr

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said 'live conversations' were underway' about boosting Britain's defences - although he noted that Israel's situation was 'very different' and being a member of NATO offered protection. Asked if an 'Iron Dome' was needed, Admiral Sir Tony told LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr: 'That will be needed in the future, that is a live conversation.' Seen here is an animation showing how the Iron Dome system works.

ANDREW MARR: The Duke of Edinburgh, seen from the outside, was a living model of the British establishment - he was always present at all state ceremonial functions, Trooping the Colour, and Parliament's openings. This, no doubt, is how millions of people will recall him. And yet, it nonetheless misunderstands him completely. It's impossible to get anywhere near the rare, shy, self-critical, and often radical figure that he was. During a 1984 tour of Canada, the Duke of Edinburgh was always an outsider (pictured right, on duty). All the uniforms, medals, awards, nomination, honors, and adulation have never really concealed this information. The main blow when he first got to Consort was that he never had any apparatus or system to properly utilize his energies and intelligence. However, he may have been a potentiator of change and chivvying at the center of the British state. He had the right ideas; new ways to involve British youth; new enthusiasms about everything from energy conservation to environmentalism; a persistent curiosity coupled with a squeamish attitude. He chaired committees. He gave speeches. He flew aircraft, painted pictures (left, in 1969), and wrote books. However, he never had his hands on the levers of real power.

During an interview with Andrew Marr about his forthcoming tour, John (left and right) was best known by his stage name Johnny Rotten. Brighton, Folkestone, and Exeter, among the artist's seaside towns he will visit, are 'full of prospective immigrants.' "If you import so many people from a completely different perspective, they're not going to adapt to yours, so they're going to remain and bring the problems that they are allegedly escaping from."

In an LBC interview with Andrew Marr, Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O'Neill, who became the first nationalist first minister last week, denied the allegations. She said that the example of the Northern Ireland peace process demonstrated how crucial dialogue was to ending the conflict. The 47-year-old, whose father and two cousins were IRA members, called for a ceasefire and referred to Gaza as a "graveyard for children."

After the opposition leader said he'll decrease the investment due to the poor financial picture he would inherit if he were to become prime minister, Gordon Brown-era minister told Sir Keir to'stick to your guns.' Mr Burnham, who has been consistently linked to national politics and a bid for prime minister, has told LBCs Tonight. The investment could help the North reindustrialize and make the region a 'clean energy superpower.' 'I would certainly say to the party, stick to your guns, and you're on the right track,' he said to Andrew Marr on Tonight.' It's about creating future wealth.' This is not investment, this is investment in the future, investment in new industries, construction of better homes for our residents, and better transportation.'

Two migrants on the Bibby Stockholm barge (pictured) were arrested on suspicion of a suspected sex assault in a nightclub four miles away. The asylum seekers, who were aged 24 and 27, were arrested by the police after officers were called to the Kika Beach Bar (inset) in Weymouth, Dorset, in the early hours of December 10. The floating hotel is just a 15-minute drive from the scene of the alleged murder. The unidentified pair have since been released from detention and are on police bail despite being under scrutiny. Officers at the seaside bar told The Sun that they attended and confiscated hard drives with CCTV video, but no one was arrested at the time. The exact nature of the assault was not known by police, but officers announced that the suspected offence occurred inside the bar.

Developers want to build a new engine room of ventilation machines, which locals believe would bring house prices down and ruin the celebrity-filled enclave in north London. Rich people are concerned that a constant nervous hum from the building of Utopia Village, a home to independent businesses, could cause them to go 'completely mad.' Several celebrities, including broadcaster Andrew Marr, FA chief Lord Triesman, and Sunday Times writer Hadley Freeman, have written to council planning chiefs against the proposals. 'It's absolutely horrible,' one resident told MailOnline: "It's absolutely terrible." There are a slew of reasons why we are against it. The commotion would be unbelievable.'

Dawn French has revealed that she has developed plans for a new 'anti-woke' sitcom. The actress, 66, is best known for her role in beloved shows French And Saunders and The Vicar of Dibley, and she is now planning a return to the small screen. Dawn told Andrew Marr on LBC's Tonight that she hopes the show will air in either late 2024 or early 2025, and that she'll continue to campaign for people to be as offensive as they want to be.'

'I think it's about time for the world to know that the Oslo model fell on October 7 and that we should build a new one,' Tzipi Hotovely, 45, said. "Israel knows today and the world should know now that the Oslo deal fell because Palestinians never intended to have a state next to Israel." They want a state from the river to the sea.' Ms Hotovely has expressed her displeasure with the fact that the Palestinian Authority had refused to condemn the 7 October attack.

At 6 a.m. yesterday, emergency services were dispatched to the barge (right) for what officers described as a'sudden death.' Richard Drax, a Tory MP for South Dorset, later said he could'confirm that there has been a suicide.' In the hours leading up to the man's tragic death, two migrants (left) described his anguish. One of them yelled and screamed very loudly at 3 a.m.,' He was screaming for about ten to fifteen minutes before he calmed down. After yesterday's crash, police boarding the ship was seen inset: After yesterday's incident, the police were boarding the ship.

Just after 6 a.m. to what officers described as a'sudden death.' The Home Office said it was 'aware of reporting' about the incident but gave no details. On LBC this evening, one migrant on the Bibby Stockholm, who used the false name Adam, said the man died at around 6:22 a.m. this morning. He said he has no information about the man's identity, but speculated it might have been a Cameroon migrant who had 'problems with security guys and the administration' yesterday. Earlier today, other migrants said the man had hung himself in the barge's communal bathroom. He had been screaming out for assistance yesterday and pleaded for an emergency doctors visit, but they said they couldn't get any assistance.' He later returned to his room, where he had been heard'screaming and punching the walls' before security intervened and told him not to move.'

When speaking to LBC last night about unlawful immigration while giving a masterclass in layering, former Cabinet minister Sir Geoffrey Cox sparked eyebrows. Last night, Sir Geoffrey, the former attorney general under Theresa May and Boris Johnson, popped in to speak with Andrew Marr as part of a moderates campaign in favor of the new Rwanda flights law. However, it was what he was wearing rather than what he said caught his peers' attention in video clips of the interview posted online. Despite being inside LBC's London studio, he was wearing two tops over his suit as well as a fetching scarf.

PETER HITCHENS: There is a simple answer to the BBC's request for another increase in its licence fee. If it won't even try to be impartial, freeze the fee, which will then fall rapidly due to inflation. Some may argue that seeking restrictions on another portion of the Fourth Estate is wrong for one part of the media. However, this is to miss the point. Newspapers have no evidence that they are biased. Newspapers publish leading papers in which they state strong views on the day's biggest topics, with journalists openly taking sides for all to see. The BBC is in effect the complete opposite of a Fleet Street paper. On pain of jail, the organisation is coerced to perform. It has opinions, but it doesn't pretend not to. It is recruited almost entirely from a segment of society that shares these beliefs.

After the September 7 terror attack, Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom warned that a two-state solution is 'not possible.' When she was asked about Andrew Marr's LBC program, Tzipi Hotovely appeared on the possibility of a 'two-state solution,' in which Israel would coexist alongside an autonomous Palestinian state. Mr Marr asked about a two-state solution, saying: 'You don't think that after what happened on October 7 a two-state solution is any longer possible?' 'It's not possible,' Ms Hotovely replied.

After claiming that he was subjected to horrific bullying during his 'eight years in hell,' a former pupil is suing an elite Scottish boarding school for £1 million. Angus Bell, 43, has renounced his right to anonymity in order to alert of the murder he suffered at Loretto, in Musselburgh, East Lothian, in the 1990s. The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI) said earlier this year that Loretto students had been "exposed to sexual, physical, and emotional abuse."

Andrew Marr has debunk the assumption that the late Queen did not watch The Crown. Marr recalls a Buckingham Palace dinner where he was told by an unidentified producer of the Netflix series that in an interview with HM and her husband Philip that the project had been 'complete waste' and that he had never tuned in. "But the Queen," Marr said in an el'tense moment, 'then patiently admitted that she had been monitoring it,' and that it had prompted her to reflect on her sister Margaret's behaviour.' 'You will be able to be aware of it if millions of people around the world understand and judge your life in a certain way,' Marr said.

The Netflix showdown was accused of a 'definite degree of hostile manipulation' of the historical truths as well as using a dramatic licence, according to the former BBC presenter (left). Despite the inaccuracies, the drama had provided a 'huge and virtuous re-education' for viewers of portions of British history that had previously been virtually forgotten, according to the actor. Even the Prince Family's collection had been a 'great gift,' he said. Marr, 65, was barred from a BBC obituary of the Queen after she died in 2022 and joined rival LBC. He had been working on upgrading the tribute program for years.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in London over the weekend, but Prime Minister Theresa May said Scotland Yard would be given 'clarity' about officers' powers. Mr Sunak was speaking to MPs in the Commons yesterday, despite Metropolitan Police Sir Mark Rowley's scathing concern for officers not arresting terrorists at pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by 100,000 protesters on Saturday. It comes after officers said they were left "frustled" at not being able to intervene after people called for jihad during a rally. With the 'apparent refusal of the Metropolitan Police to do anything about it,' making the situation worse, Tory MP Gareth Bacon said that British Jews were increasingly feeling unsafe in their own country.

Laura Kuenssberg (right), the former BBC Political Editor (left), hosts a weekly show on Sunday (right), in which she interviews leading politicians and evaluates their responses with expert guests. It comes after it was revealed this week that Ms Kuenssberg's show had a drop in viewers to 1.2 million, 700,000 down from the peak of Andrew Marr's morning show. However, in an interview with the Telegraph today, the 47-year-old denied those claims, saying that her ratings were 'in rude health' and that more people were tuning in than before the pandemic.

Laura Kuenssberg is expected to be the most popular person to cover the BBC's election night coverage. The former BBC News political editor is the front runner in the fight to replace Huw Edwards' resignation ahead of a forthcoming election next year, but insiders say there is no 'obvious successor' for the high-profile position. Ms Kuenssberg, a presenter on BBC's Sunday Politics, has been in this position since September, when she took over Andrew Marr's slot. Mr Edwards, 62, is still earning his estimated £435,000 a year after being suspended from air following charges that he paid a young individual for sexually explicit photos, according to reports published in the Sun.

According to The Sunday Times, it's a year tomorrow that Laura Kuenssberg's Sunday on BBC One got off to a good start, but after a steady start, viewers' ratings plummeted earlier this year. Sir Trevor Phillips, the show's manager, announced the re-launch of a new rival show.

After being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014, the News at Six host died 'peacefully' surrounded by family and friends on Sunday. In 1989, BBC world affairs editor John Simpson recalled Alagiah's as a foreign correspondent, claiming he knew he was right for the job as soon as he stepped in. In the meantime, Today host Nick Robinson recalled visiting George Alagiah at a 'Survivor' Lunch' (left) in 2016 with BBC colleagues Andrew Marr and Frank Gardner.

It's getting too much! In some boozers, a pint costs more than £6.50. So you may be left wondering - where exactly can the cheapest pint in Britain can be found? Pantry & Larder have analyzed over 16,000 Wetherspoons as well as collected drinks prices at them all in the hopes of assisting you in determining your next round. Tim Martin, the maker and chairman of Wetherspoons, has dreadfully warned Brits that the cost of a pint will rise.

ANDREW NEIL: Andrew Neil, 74, (left) a columnist for Mail and Telegraph, has spent nearly three decades interviewing politicians on television. Neil is the most frightening inquisitor of his time, according to the author of a new book on the art of the political interview. If you have any dirt on me, you're f***ed,' TV presenter Rob Burley, who worked with some of the best names in the industry, including Jonathan Dimbleby, Jeremy Paxman, Emily Maitlis and Andrew Marr, as well as Neil, said: 'If he has any dirt on you.' He has no idea what's going to be.' Boris Johnson (top right) at Albert Embankment, London, in 2019, when Johnson was the Conservative Party leadership candidate.
