Show Notes
This week, Marina and Jemma unpack the most expensive hissy fit in presidential history: Donald Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for a casual $10 billion, meanwhile it appears JD Vance is on manoeuvres....
Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert, the most-watched late-night host in America is seemingly being cancelled not long after calling out a $16 million Trump settlement. Quite the coincidence! Reform UK continues its misinformation tour, with Sarah Pochin spouting nonsense on national TV and getting politely dismantled mid-broadcast. And in a by-election where Reform came fourth, the media coverage was so minimal it may as well have been printed in invisible ink and buried under a Farage flat cap.
