NonCensored

This week Harriet and Producer Martin are joined by Paula Vennells, the former chair of the Post Office, explaining why she handed back her CBE in the wake of the Horizon scandal and also exploring some casting ideas for the ITV drama about her life, and by friend of the show, Donald Trump's lawyer/co-defendant Chip Randy Jr III, who offers an expert legal eye on the Jeffrey Epstein lists which he happens to be on for totally fine reasons. We also have our Diversity Correspondent Eshaan Akbar to explain why Sir Keir Starmer's plans for children to have better teeth proves he's on the side of criminals.
