From being a stand-up comic whose anti-establishment rhetoric meant he encouraged his fans not to bother voting, to getting close to Ed Milliband and supporting Jeremy Corbyn’s 2015 election campaign, writing for the Guardian and the New Statesman, and dabbling in Buddhism and veganism. Then his move to Florida in 2024 saw him pivot once again - this time to the right, to MAGA, to Christianity and to taste-testing beef jerky on his YouTube channel. In this episode Caroline and Liz chat to correspondent Eirian Prosser who has been chasing his trail in America. Plus we discuss the fallout from yesterday’s 10-and-a-half year prison sentence.</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe via https://plus.thecrimedesk.com/brand?sc_promo=BRAND</p><p>Follow us on TikTok @TheCrimeDesk or on Instagram @TheTrialPod</p><p>Email us <a href=\"mailto:thetrial@dailymail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">thetrial@dailymail.com</a></p><p>WhatsApp us <a href=\"tel:+447796657512\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">+447796657512</a> (start your message with ‘Trial’)</p><p><br></p><p>Presenters: Caroline Cheetham and Liz Hull</p><p>Editor: Tom James and Chelsey Ranore</p><p>Creative Director: Caroline Cheetham</p><p>Producer: Chelsey Ranore</p><p>Assistant Producer: Harriet Muckle</p><p>Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini</p><p><br></p><p>A Daily Mail production.
