Quite right!: did Cummings predict Farage’s downfall?
About this episode
Nigel Farage has resigned as MP for Clacton and will fight a by-election in an attempt to turn questions over his finances into a referendum on ‘the people vs the establishment’. Is this a political masterstroke or a mistake? Has Farage taken back control of the narrative, or will the row over undeclared money continue to plague Reform?
Michael and Maddie also discuss whether Dominic Cummings’s prophecy – that the establishment would try to destroy Farage by fair means or foul – has come true.
Plus: Prince Harry has suffered a bruising defeat in court against the Mail. What does the ruling tell us about press freedom?
