Armed farces – Weekly Wrap-Up with Zoë Grünewald

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent violence in Belfast, political resignations, and celebrity news.

Violence swept Belfast after a knife attack sparked days of unrest fuelled by right-wing agitators. With reports that many of those involved had travelled to the city from elsewhere, are we seeing the rise of riot tourism? Plus: John Healey resigns in breaking news, a leaked Makerfield poll puts Burnham ahead as the right-wing vote splits, and Swifties wager millions on Taylor’s wedding.
