Will Farage win in Clacton?
We’re in Clacton-on-Sea today. So, coincidentally, is Nigel Farage the new leader of the Reform party and prospective parliamentary candidate.
We caught up with him, with the ex-leader Richard Tice, and with their Conservative opponent Giles Whatling. We also hear from people in the town about what they make of the latest offering from Farage. Can his soap box speeches stand up to scrutiny on any single policy?

Farage stands: is this the Tories' worst nightmare?
So Nigel Farage is standing to be the Reform MP in Clacton. He’s stood before - (seven times if anyone is counting) but Clacton clearly feels to him like a pretty safe bet if he wants to be in the House of Commons for the next parliament.
What is his game plan? And does this make Tory wipeout more likely?
Later, does Kemi Badenoch understand the difference between sex and gender? She announced her new policy this morning but ended up sounding more confused than when she began.
And our official pollsters More in Common bring you an exclusive MRP (general election style) poll ... with quite a few surprises.

Why the tide isn’t turning against Labour
Keir Starmer has had one of the toughest weeks as Labour leader, and yet the polls still show electoral wipeout for the Tories - as Starmer's personal ratings improve.
Why is the tide not turning against Labour? And can the Tories do anything about it?

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?

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 …..
