About this episode

Duncan Garner discusses Covid vaccine safety concerns and a breakdown of the Budget 2026 with various guests.

A special weekend episode of Duncan Garner: Editor in Chief, with two sharp cuts from two very different conversations. First, Duncan talks to Aly Cook about documents she says raise serious questions about the youth Covid vaccine rollout, myocarditis safety information, and what Labour ministers knew at the time. The central question is blunt: if key safety information was kept out of public communications, were parents ever given the full picture? Then Ashley Church and Maurice Williamson join Duncan for a Budget 2026 breakdown. Maurice digs into the numbers and questions whether the Government’s spending forecasts stack up, especially around police funding. Ashley looks at the politics of the Budget and whether National has finally read the room. This episode is about trust, transparency, spending, debt, police, and whether voters are being told the truth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
