Summary
Recorded live in Brisbane, Australia, this week’s Bugle sees Andy Zaltzman joined on stage by Nish Kumar and Alice Fraser for a high-energy international tour of scandal, chaos, and cinematic derangement.
🇦🇺 Australia News: The country is rocked by the unthinkable — a Wiggles drug scandal. Plus, an Australian PM finally does something.
🇬🇧 UK Politics: Back in Britain, there’s fresh chaos and alleged racism in Westminster. Standards continue their long retreat into the sea (just off the coast of Clacton).
🇺🇸 Trump News: And in America, Donald Trump appears to be greenlighting movies. Yes, really. With Rush Hour 4 apparently on the table, Hollywood has reached a new constitutional crisis.
It's a Bugle live classic!
