About this listen

In this week’s episode, what we thought was going to be a gentle look at the BBC as a public service, turned out to be a little overheated… let’s blame it on the weather. Plus look out for this week’s special guest, (a very much AI generated), Boris Johnson.

In Front Page Face Off, there were two articles that grabbed our attention, one to do with China and their green credentials, and another looking at the explosion of weight loss drugs and the effect on the NHS.

Finally, we open the door of the Rant Room, and welcome Robert Jenrick….. or do we?
