That Man and Robbins
About this episode
The episode discusses the Starmer-Mandelson-Robbins scandal and its implications, alongside global economic issues related to the Strait of Hormuz.
Keeping up with the Starmer-Mandelson-Robbins scandal is like juggling spaghetti, soggy spaghetti at that, but we're here for the challenge. Naomi, Alex and Kenny pick apart this week's remarkable developments in a saga that has cost two of the main players their jobs ... and may well consign the third player to an early bath too. What happened, what happens next and who's to blame? And what do shop tills and Jim Hacker have to do with it? And we turn our gaze back to the Strait of Hormuz, where a not-quite-ceasefire is heating up economies globally while world leaders wonder how long it will be before the inflation frog in their domestic pot croaks, and not in a good way. Plus some NHS Wokey Dokeyness and a glass of green whisky.
