| 6/3/26 | ![]() 539. Embezzlement, the Mandelson Texts, and Hasan Piker's UK Ban | What does the SNP embezzlement case reveal about how scandal-ridden British politics is? Is the banning of prominent left-wing American commentators Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur a sensible decision or a serious threat to free speech?

| 6/2/26 | ![]() 538. The Pope’s AI Warning and Alastair Reacts to Blair’s Attack | Is Pope Leo’s encyclical the most important contribution to the AI debate so far, and is he doing more to hold Silicon Valley to account than any Western government? What did Alastair say to Tony Blair about his explosive essay attacking the direction of Starmer’s government, the Labour Party, and net zero? Why does Rory think Blair is now closer to JD Vance than to the values that defined New Labour?
