Weekend Edition - The Sports Agents
This week on The Sports Agents,
UK cyclist Lizzy Banks joined Gabby & Mark in the studio, following her 10-month battle with UK Anti-Doping, for an insight into what actually happens when you fail a drugs test and the reality of trying to live as a 'clean' athlete under the current rules.
The youngest executive in English football history, and current West Ham Director, Jack Sullivan, joined us later in the week to to help us find out how the big calls, like replacing the head coach, or voting on whether or not to scrap VAR, are actually made at Premier League clubs.

Donald Trump: guilty on all counts - The News Agents - USA
Trump is found guilty in New York.
Just before 5pm on Thursday New York time the airwaves started cracking with news of an imminent verdict. Twenty minutes later the jury in a Manhattan court returned. And pronounced Donald Trump guilty on each one of the 34 counts.
Donald Trump can still run for president. So in one respect this may change nothing.
But let’s not let this moment of history escape - a former and possible future president who is now a convicted felon. What happens to his freedom, his vote and his temper now? And how should the Democrats play it?

Why is Starmer purging the Labour left?
Sir Keir Starmer is on a warpath. But not against the Tories but his own side. At least, what is nominally his own side.
Starmer has poured petrol on the fire of the Diane Abbott imbroglio by deselecting several of his own left-wing candidates and MPs. Why is Starmer engaging in bloodletting in the middle of a general election campaign? Jon and Lewis discuss a party addicted to civil war.
And we’re joined by the playwright of the moment, Jez Butterworth to discuss theatre, working with Harvey Weinstein, Baby Reindeer and his latest show, The Hills of California.

Has Starmer lost control of the Diane Abbott story?
It's day two of the Diane Abbott fiasco and the Labour party look no closer to getting to grips with the situation.
Keir Starmer insists that no decision has been made on Abbott, but she says she's been banned from standing. How damaging could this be for the Labour campaign? And how has Starmer allowed it to dominate the headlines for the past 48 hours?
Later, we discuss Nigel Farage's role in the campaign so far, and ask why he's getting so much airtime and being treated like he's a party leader.
And we speak to The News Agents' official polling partner for the general election, More in Common, on whether the Tory proposed policy of National Service is actually a lot more popular than you first might think.

Is the Tory campaign already falling apart?
Rishi Sunak has had a gaffe-filled weekend amidst new policy announcements over the triple lock and compulsory National Service. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has fallen into a 'sewage-stricken' lake whilst paddleboarding. It's only day 5 of the general election campaign, and it already feels like the campaign teams can't get away from awkward videos and uncomfortable photos. Why are the campaigns off to such a strange start?
The two leaders have agreed to debate each other next week, as per The Telegraph.
And when will Labour decide what to do with Diane Abbott?

Nicola sturgeon and e-scooters in Paris
This episode doesn’t get many marks ! Real daily mail tactics with Stephen Flynn - Emily and John’s attitude was positively embarrassing to listen to . Then to round it off the TOTALLY wrong remark about the parisiens “overwhelmingly voting to ban electric scooters !!! Only 7.46% of parisiens voted and 89% of these voted for the ban …..
