About this episode
Why isn’t this front-page news? Nigel Farage reportedly pocketed £5 million from a billionaire donor before becoming an MP, and yet the story has barely made a ripple.
Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East are escalating. Iran warns “we are just getting started” after attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, putting global security on edge.

Plus, a cruise nightmare is unfolding. 20 British passengers are stranded amid a suspected hantavirus outbreak, with one crew member in urgent need of care. When it comes to cruises, why are people still taking the risk?
