episode 40. The Truth About Andrew's New Royal Row 10.06.2026 32min

All three of the Windsor Mountbattens, Andrew (formerly known as Prince) and his daughters, have been living rent free in royal lodgings for years. Andrew paid a peppercorn rent for his estate at Windsor and even allegedly earned money from cottages he rented out while the Queen, and now the King , have been bankrolling Beatrice and Eugenie's Palace apartments. It's not a good look when the country is struggling with high rentals especially for young families budgeting with the cost of living crisis. Rarely in agreement, Andrew seems to have a knack of uniting Pierce&Maguire as do the wacky Lib Dems in leafy Kingston upon Thames suggesting women get on their e bike to do their womanly duties better! Almost as sexist as the Reform candidate in Makersfield who's odds on now to lose to the King of the North after gross comments about women. All human life is here this week.

Episode 39: Henry's Murder: The Family Want Peace But Farage Calls For Rage 02.06.2026 30min

Who isn't shocked and moved by the sickening police body cam footage of innocent Henry Novak, cuffed and arrested as he bled to death wrongly accused of racism by a pair of wicked Sikh brothers. Westminster has reacted to poor policing, claims of two tier justice and allegations of an anti racist mindset amongst officers that ignored Henry's desperate pleas to breathe and believe he'd been stabbed. Police initially took the side of the lying brothers who called Henry a racist attacker. Nigel Farage wants the nation to feel rage, Keir Starmer's accused of delay and Kemi Badenoch says not just white or black but all lives matter and calls for calm.Also, Mandelson's latest volumes of tittle tattle and Nicola Sturgeon's thieving husband faces court humiliation before sentencing, the only question for Peter Murrell is do Amazon deliver to jail?

Episode 38. Sturgeon's Thieving Husband, Now Awkward Asks 27.05.2026 31min

Scotland wants to do things differently and my goodness crooked Peter Murrell proved just that this week, sent to jail for swindling the SNP out of £400,000 - he wasn't just the office boss of the Nats but also shared a matrimonial home with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. And she is now pleading ignorance of her husband's thieving ways which included a £125k motor home, a Jag and even a fancy pendant Ms Sturgeon was seen wearing with pride. Will other heads roll within the ranks? Also...Tony Blair is both lending support to Strarmer and criticising Labour policies at the same time while Elon Musk threatens to split the Reform vote with backing for even more right wing Respite. The teenage Rapists hopefully get banged up where they should - and sandals, singlets and iced latte in this crazy weather. Great half hour of political debate with Westminster's top two pundits.
