Pierce vs Maguire

Is this the biggest defection of the year? Not Judas Jenrick but Brooklyn Beckham cutting off ties with his family and can they ever mend? Always on top of current affairs, Andrew and Kevin have their say on the story that has dominated front pages. Oh and there's the little matter of Trump and Greenland, Davos and should we boycott the USA World Cup or scrap a royal visit?

President Trump has promised Iran's rebel protestors that 'Help is on its way" but what are the dangers and why has Sir Keir been silent? Also in this episode, has Reform gone an ex Tory too far with the recruitment of a tax cheat Chancellor? The new HS2 train extension to Manchester with delays written all over it and who is already 'cad of the year' and we're only two weeks in!

The President’s hardline on immigration and crime has blown up into civil unrest in Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot dead a woman driver he claimed was trying to run him over.
It’s been a news packed week for Trump, much played out on the international stage so we ask has Donald gone too far or is this just the New World order?. Greenland, which is rarely green and mainly ice white, is the latest tick on the US shopping list and what a dilemma this poses for Sir Keir and his dance card with the White House.
Happy New Year, please enjoy an absorbing 40 minutes with the two best political podcasters in the business, not afraid to give opinion, they go where others fear to tread and always ready to prick the Westminster bubble

Sorry for the thumbnail, this is what you get when you ask AI to create a Pierce vs Maguire Xmas image! World domination by big tech is a while off. This is our bumper Christmas report card on the heroes and villains, the legends and losers, the prize recipients of another astonishing year at Westminster, Royal Lodge and Mar-a-Lago, all with no punches pulled. And thanks for you support since our launch just four months ago, last week Pierce vs Maguire was hovering just outside the top ten politics podcasts in the UK.
We never forget you have a choice but none of the others are as funny, outspoken nor as well informed as these two Santa's little helpers.

What would Doug Ross have done ? The doctor won't see you now - at least for five days. Is the controversial strike in the middle of a flu crisis a steth (oscope) too far and is it time for these front line juniors to fall into line with the Army and Police who are banned from walking out? Also this week, the lessons the UK can learn from the Bondi atrocity, why are folk losing jobs month after month, and could Trump's defamation action against the BBC bankrupt the home of Strictly and the Traitors?
