In a week where:
- Israel & Hamas agree on a four-day ceasefire & hostage releases.
- Dublin is set ablaze after three children & one woman are stabbed.
- Oscar Pistorius is granted parole from January, nearly 11 years after murdering girlfriend.
- Jean Knight, singer best known for the classic 1971 hit “Mr. Big Stuff,” dies aged 80.
- Young Thug's RICO trial begins.
In Politics: (11:50) Farage has received £1.5m to appear on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! with Ant and Dec. After everything he has done, he gets the opportunity to humanise himself.
In Health: (23:49) A big existential crisis the UK is having is the state of the NHS and with the recent £500M deal with former military/spyware company Palantir, I feel like the NHS as we know it is dead.
In Life: (34:28) Even though Suella Braverman is out as Home Secretary, I felt the need to find a piece that explains the spiral of being homeless. What better than a first-hand account.
Lastly, in Film: (48:50) The film nerds are back out of their holes to claim Marvel is dead after the poor showing of The Marvels. Whilst I don't care about the monetary wellbeing of a multi-million $ studio, I do care about filmmakers getting thrown under the bus. Burn the table.
