In this week’s episode, we don’t mention Gary Stevenson once (unbelievable) but we do talk ‘strike action’ in the midst of the Birmingham Bin Strikes, which see rats running riots on the streets of the city (maybe?). Are strikes effective? What have we learnt from the junior doctors strike, the nurses strike, the Royal Mail strikes, the RMT strikes, aside from the fact that there have been a lot of strikes recently.

In Front Page FaceOff, we talk Liz Truss, not to Liz Truss, just about her, behind her back, as she is back in the limelight, writing an article in the Daily Telegraph, and launching a new social network, cos we need another one. Is she deluded, or genius, or a deluded genius?
