With the October Budget looming larger on the horizon, your co-pilots are cutting through all the noise to deliver the big talking points this week and are joined on the Rocket of right thinking by a very special guest.
Liam dives into Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s recent comments on The Rest is Politics, where he reopened the Brexit debate and claimed Russian interference in the 2016 referendum, drawing public rebuke from MI5 boss Ken McCallum.
Meanwhile, Allison addresses the ongoing warnings of potential power cuts amidst the mounting crisis surrounding the UK’s energy infrastructure, by sharing her new hobby of disaster prepping.
Plus stepping into the Rocket this week is Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, who discusses a range of topics including a policy announcement on asylum claims and personal threats to his security.
