  • "They spit, we hit" - Trump sends the troops into L.A.
    Jun 9 2025

    Why has Trump sent the National Guard onto the streets of L.A. to deal with protests against his immigration raids? Normally, this would only happen at the invitation of the State's governor. This time, Trump acted without consultation - and the governor, Gavin Newsom, is now threatening to sue him.

    Is Trump right to say he needs to assert law and order on a few protestors before it gets out of control? Is this a personal vendetta against Newsom? Or might it be for more sinister reasons - a dress rehearsal for a President working out how to use emergency powers to seize control of local operations of government?

    Later, actor comedian poet and writer Tim Key joins us to discuss his smash hit film 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' - and an update on the Chancellor's winter fuel u-turn.

  • Elon Musk suggests Donald Trump is a paedophile
    Jun 6 2025

    Last night, one of the world's most powerful relationships came to a dramatic end. Over the course of one evening, Elon Musk set fire to his already fracturing partnership with Donald Trump. The bitter feud over Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' spilled out to accusations that the President is in the Epstein files and calls for his impeachment.

    As the break up plays out on social media, Jon and Lewis ask is the bromance truly over? Will Trump sell his Tesla? Will Musk be deported? And is there any coming back from this war of words?

    Later - does Zia Yusuf's departure as Reform chairman derail Nigel Farage's pitch to voters?

Very topical, daily news from the UK. As an American who lived abroad in the UK in the 90s I love it! And with our countries still tightly connected in this global world the news agents commentary is very much appreciated!

Great podcast
