Why is the Mail having a go at Nigel Farage and why is Nigel Farage having a go at Boris Johnson? These three are now firm 'frenemies' - calling each other 'morally repugnant' and calling in the lawyers...
What does it tell us about the power on the right of British politics? And is Farage now regretting his 'Putin friendly' comments?
Later, the Gambleshambles has reached the dizzy heights of second most damaging gaff for the election campaign amongst members of the public.
Why has the cut through been so strong?
And why hasn't anyone in Tory HQ managed this scandal better?

The Sunday Times report that Nick Mason, the party's chief data officer, is the fourth Conservative being looked into over bets allegedly placed on the date of the general election. But still, no one has been suspended by Rishi Sunak. Why not? And, how far and how high does Gamblegate go? Could even someone as high up as a cabinet member be allegedly implicated?
And later, we talk Brexit 8 years on and Lewis is at a focus group in the crucial voting area and demographic of Whitby.

This week on The Sports Agents,
After Rory McIlroy's dramatic decision to take a break from Golf, following his collapse at the US Open, Gabby & Mark were joined by 2010 Ryder Cup winning captain and five-time major runner up Colin Montgomerie, to debate whether golf is the most mentally-challenging sport out there and to re-live the US Open he himself 'threw away' back in 2006. 
Later in the week, as Scotland kept their hopes a place in the knock-out stages of Euro 2024 alive, David Moyes joined Gabby for a morning coffee in Berlin, to discuss Tartan Army spirit, his own managerial future and player welfare as the number of games they're expected to play each season, continues to grow.
Plus, with the new season's Premier League fixtures announced, we explored how the televised calendar really comes together with Sky Sports Director of Football Gary Hughes.

In a move that I think we can safely say no-one saw coming , the Conservative campaign director has announced his own leave of absence two weeks out from polling day.
His wife is a candidate. They are both being investigated for allegedly placing a bet on the date of the election before it was publicly announced.
Another close protection officer has been arrested for misconduct. What is happening at the heart of his campaign and what is this doing to the state of the race.
Later we see in a key Lab/Tory marginal talking to former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith who’s been the MP here for 32 years … - and to his newly selected Labour opponent Shama Tatler.

Election day is two weeks tomorrow. For some that can't come soon enough.
Today - with the help of former Tory Chairman and ad man Lord Maurice Saatchi we assess the state of the campaign and ask how politicians are communicating with the public, and what the public is saying back.
Is there such a thing as a campaign that's 'too nice'? And is this it?
Later, we have the latest The News Agents/More in Common MRP poll and ask what will happen to the SNP and whether the methodology of how pollsters ask questions has changed?
