  • Sadly Just Infuriating

    I admire the attempt to bring balance but the podcast is almost unlistenable with the sheer level of lies and propaganda that is getting spewed out now. It’s everywhere and progressive coverage offering it up as balance just gives more oxygen to the nonsense.

  • Thangum Debbonaire

    Don’t have this person on again. She constantly talked over everyone. Ruined the discussion. Tone deaf and simply shouted Labour is right all the time despite the important issues that were raised. No wonder she lost her seat. Annoying in the extreme. More thoughtful participants would be preferred.

  • Best and most reliable news source

    I’ve been watching channel 4 news since I was 10 , 30 years now. It’s the best news source out there with excellent reporting and analysis and brilliant journalists.

    I do miss Jon Snow but Matt Frei makes up for it.

    Anyway spread the word- Channel 4 news is the best by far.
