Who isn't shocked and moved by the sickening police body cam footage of innocent Henry Novak, cuffed and arrested as he bled to death wrongly accused of racism by a pair of wicked Sikh brothers.

Scotland wants to do things differently and my goodness crooked Peter Murrell proved just that this week, sent to jail for swindling the SNP out of £400,000 - he wasn't just the office boss of the Nats but also shared a matrimonial home with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

As Kevin Maguire of the Mirror says in this week's special, Theresa May resigned for bett...

Not surprisingly Andrew and Kevin are split when it comes the monarch...

It's an X rated discussion this week and we don't mean Donald Trump's response to Rachel Reeves condemnation of the US President's war on Iran.

Donald Trump has been stung by Sir Keir Starmer's stand on refusing to let US B2 bombers use British bases to attack Iran.
