Nigel Farage v Count Binface: Who could win?
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the US-Iran peace deal, Nigel Farage's political antics, and Donald Trump's influence on FIFA amidst media restrictions.
With the US-Iran peace deal seemingly in tatters, and reporting restrictions on western media outlets, how can journalists figure out what’s actually going on in Iran? Why is Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing against a bin in the Clacton byelection? Has Donald Trump’s intervention over a red card at the World Cup undermined fans' trust in FIFA? Giles Whittell is joined by The Observer’s Hannah Schuller, Poppy Bullard and Andrew Butler as they battle it out to pitch the top story of the day. **We want to hear what you think!
