Pierce vs Maguire

Convicted sex offender and former trusted newsman Huw Edwards is considering a comeback, exploring his mental health issues in a self penned documentary - it shouldn’t be allowed say Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire. The recent Channel 5 drama documentary sparked fury with viewers demanding to know why Edwards, convicted of making  indecent images of children but who also groomed a Welsh teenager (although not convicted of that) is still at liberty.
Also in this episode, the stink around Morgan McSweeny’s missing telephone and the cancelling of Bob Monkhouse - by The Repair Shop! yes really…

Labour’s former deputy Prime Minister is on manoeuvres. Angela Rayner, in the waiting room for leadership candidates, made an explosive speech warning of time running out for the government under Keir Starmer. She also criticised a major immigration policy championed by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and may get it changed. She’s a powerful force and were it not for Iran would be Sir Keir’s worst nightmare.

How much would you expect from your bosses if you were sacked in the middle of the night for telling a whopper of a lie to get your job? Not a penny in most cases unless you're our former Ambassador to Washington where £75,000 was sanctioned by the Prime Minister - could have been worse, Mandelson was after half a million! The new Mandeslon files also reveal Sir Keir over ruled two most senior advisers to give the Prince of Darkness the job, so where does this leave Starmer? Will his stance on the war prove that he has at least some judgement?

Donald Trump has been stung by Sir Keir Starmer's stand on refusing to let US B2 bombers use British bases to attack Iran. It led to a vicious put down in the White House as the President criticised the UK's legal excuse saying: This is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with'. In this Iran war special Andrew and Kevin illustrate how polarising the US/Israel action is proving, who's side are you on?

Plumber Hannah Spencer is on her way to Westminster but Andrew and Kevin are pleading with her 'please don't fix the leaks! Our jobs depend on them'. It's was a seismic result that saw the Greens turn Red as Reform and Labour were trounced in the Greater Manchester by-election. What does it all mean? The consequences are spelt out here...
