The Robert Jenrick Interview

In the 2000th episode of Newscast, Adam and Chris return for second helpings as Robert Jenrick’s defection to Reform is confirmed.

Following his dramatic sacking via social media this morning, Jenrick appeared on stage with Reform leader Nigel Farage this afternoon to announce that he was joining the party.

Farage told reporters that although they had been negotiating the possibility of Jenrick joining Reform - the deal wasn’t done until Kemi Badenoch made her move this morning.

Jenrick Joins Reform!

Kemi Badenoch has sensationally sacked shadow minister Robert Jenrick claiming he was secretly plotting to defect from the party in a way that was “as damaging as possible”. 

Reform has refused to confirm if Jenrick was planning to defect, although party leader Nigel Farage has said he ‘might’ buy him a sympathy pint. While Labour and the Lib Dems have been quick off the mark to take advantage of the political unrest by creating memes. 

Adam and Laura are joined from Westminster by Henry Zeffman and Alex Forsyth to break down what we know.

The Peter Mandelson Interview Analysis

In this extended version of this first and exclusive interview, Laura's questions him over Trump, Epstein, and what Number 10 really knew.

Laura, Paddy, and Henry will be in your feed with analysis later as normal.

The Peter Mandelson Interview

Today, Laura and Paddy speak to Sir Lawrence Freedman, historian, and Professor of War Studies at King's College London, to help us understand what’s happening in Iran, as well as the huge foreign news stories of recent times.

There’s possible regime change in Iran, where protests continue and authorities issued coordinated warnings to protesters. A doctor and medic at two hospitals told the BBC their facilities were overwhelmed with injuries. 

Donald Trump has warned the regime not to kill protesters, and after capturing the Venezuelan president, he’s turned his sights to Greenland which he’d like to be in control of. Plus Russian strikes and blackouts in Ukraine continue. Can you draw a line between all of these things, and is there a helpful way of understanding them?
