Today, we discuss a report in the Sunday Telegraph that Gordon Brown has demanded a police investigation into whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The former PM says he’s sent a five-page memorandum to the Metropolitan, Surrey, Sussex Thames Valley and other UK police constabularies.
Laura and Paddy are joined by Henry Zeffman to discuss why he’s turned investigator, what it means for the Royal Family, and whether rules around the line of succession should be changed.
Ahead of the Government’s Schools White Paper on Monday, we also discuss some of Labour’s proposed changes to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support, as well as Kemi Badenoch’s vow to lower interest on some student loans which she says feel "increasingly feel like a scam".
