About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Shabana Mahmood potentially becoming chancellor, sports events between England and Argentina, and personal stories from victims of the forced adoption scandal.

Burnham has appeared to rule out Ed Miliband as chancellor, seen by many as the progressive choice – what does it mean for his impending premiership? Plus: It’s England vs Argentina, on and off the field! We dissect Aaron’s recent viral appearance on The Telegraph with the man himself. Finally, a victim of the forced adoption scandal tells us of the “genetic bewilderment” she and many like her have endured for decades. With Michael Walker, Aaron Bastani & Debbie Iromlou.
