Summary
Farage is back from the jungle and picking fights with anyone who thinks he’s a wanker! Count us in, Nige! Meanwhile Rishi Sunak presses his Rwanda bill through the commons at a running cost of close to £400m just as Channel 4 reveals the crisis in the NHS under the Tories is worse than we even thought - begging the question has the PM really thought this through? And in a special episode of Keeping Up With The Jones’s, the Two Matts wonder who is the champ of social media purity culture - Owen or Alex? All this plus the inside track on how Michelle Mone threatened to sue The New European (and our concise response) on Britain’s liveliest political podcast.

| 1:16.8 | Yeah, because Kevin Lago called him a wanker. |
| 1:19.2 | Because, yes, and this is both very amusing but also has some significance. |
| 1:24.9 | Should we lay out our cards on the table and let Nigel know where we stand on that issue? |
