Summary

Dawn is back and was one of the 1000s of cyclists on the London to Brighton ride at the weekend. Obviously, Mike had gripes about the road closures it caused.


Pat from East London calls in with his thoughts after it has been revealed that the Manchester bomber had in fact been rescued by the Royal Navy whilst out in Libya, as well as having previous criminal convictions and links to Jihadism.


Andrew Norfolk, Chief Investigative Reporter from The Times made a splash at the weekend with his story on the Rowntree Chirtable Trust, who have donated a princely sum to a disgraced Irish Republican Group. He joins us to talk through it and the spiraling revelations about the behaviour of some charities so far this year.


And finally, the Love Island Final aired last night. (Finally.) Sarah Packer of The Sun joins us to reminisce over the eight week spectacle and what the Islanders will do next.
