    Found it spoilt by the reader. Unlistenable on headphones due to the constant slurping.

  • Excellent investigative journalism

    A meticulously researched story that is utterly damning for “Posh George”, Nigel Farage and Reform. One can only hope that the British public grasps the depth of Reform’s links to corruption before it is too late.

  • Overproduced

    I imagine this podcast might be great, but there is no need for the music especially ill fitting stuff. It was too distracting to continue.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

May 2026 UPDATE: Aiding suicide | Poison Ep. 6
Q: What is your reaction to Kenneth Law pleading guilty to aiding suicide in Canada?
The host and David discuss that the plea confirms systematic harms caused by Law's actions, while lamenting that it doesn't address all victims or fix cross-border enforcement gaps; it underscores the need for better regulatory and policing responses to online harms.
The man the police missed |Seventeen Years - The Andrew Malkinson Story Ep. 10
Q: Why wasn't Paul Quinn interviewed earlier in 2003?
There was no initial identification of Quinn as a suspect; testing and investigation focus shifted over the years, and testing opportunities were constrained by regulations and the structure of the case at that time, delaying recognition of his involvement.
The man the police missed |Seventeen Years - The Andrew Malkinson Story Ep. 10
Q: Has anyone been sacked or lost their job as a result of this case?
No definitive disciplinary actions have been taken yet; the IOPC investigation is ongoing and assesses misconduct, with the possibility of consequences if warranted by the findings.
The man the police missed |Seventeen Years - The Andrew Malkinson Story Ep. 10
Q: What does this case tell you about Greater Manchester's police behaviour?
The IOPC will investigate, but so far the response has acknowledged failings, with a commitment to learning from them and ensuring accountability where appropriate, while stressing that ongoing inquiries aim to restore public confidence in policing.
Still not ‘free’ |Seventeen Years - The Andrew Malkinson Story Ep. 11
Q: What has been the emotional impact of the conviction and the process of exoneration on Andy?
Andy describes years of psychological and emotional toll, the ongoing battle to clear his name, and the strain of participating in investigations and inquiries while trying to move forward with his life.
