Really intriguing

I thought this was a really good podcast. Good storytelling and I learnt loads I didn’t know before. Episodes not too long either.

Another great series

So intriguing and fascinating to hear from so many people involved in this story. Love the way that the series flows from one part to the next - very well told and documented!

A man who imho is a traitor to this country and who has done more to damage our economy and international reputation than even Johnson
