”Trump wanted the Nobel peace prize, for resolving the situation in Ukraine within 24hours. Having failed… he’s now trying for the economics one. Maybe he’ll do the double.” 

“The story of Julius Caesar seems to map very well onto the story of Donald Trump , the end of the Republic and a man declaring himself King, in a place that is not designed for Kings.”

-“So, how do you think they came up with the list of countries and tariffs?”

-“Someone asked ChatGPT to create an episode of Pointless.” 

“Some of these market losses will be recovered when Trump either u-turns or when stock becomes so trashed it is seen as low risk again. But some of the damage will be permanent. Just like the pandemic, economies globally may recover to a lower equilibrium and it could take a decade just to get to where we would have been had this nut not done what he did.”

From presidential hopeful to criminal with an electronic tag, Marine Le Pen's fall from grace has been swift and – at least as far her punishment is concerned – eye-popping.

Quiet Riot producer Kenny Campbell is joined by our favourite Chevalier/French expert, Olivier Morel who, as well as being a partner at Cripps lawyers, holds senior trade positions and is a champion of Anglo-French business links.

How did this all start? What does it mean for France? Is it good or bad news for Le Pen's party, and the ambitious individuals within? Pop open le popcorn and enjoy a bit of political drama from the other side of La Manche.

With pollution out of control, infrastructure at breaking point and water companies prioritising the pumping of pounds – many pounds – to shareholders, our water industry has dissolved into a murky mess.

Our seas and rivers are a disgrace, the National Audit Office has warned some areas could run out of water by 2034, and Britain's biggest water company is begging for a Government bailout, after years of loading up with debt to help it pay out juicy dividends.

In this Quiet Riot special, our producer Kenny Campbell takes a deep dive into the issues and possible solutions to the water crisis with Norwich South MP Clive Lewis, whose Private Member's Bill on the subject will be debated this week.

It's a topic that vexes our listeners – we know, because it's listeners who suggested we look into the scandalous state of affairs the water industry finds itself in.

How did we get into this dreadful situation? What can we do about it? How did Labour MP Clive Lewis find himself buttonholed by Richard Tice only to find the Reform MP was in agreement about the state of water companies? And how are Trumpian politics linked to what is going on in the industry?

If you swim, paddle or drink water, then this is a must-listen episode.

SHOW LINKS

Visit the Clive Lewis Action Network for more details on the work he is doing on Britain's broken water industry – and please drop your MP a letter this week, urging them to attend the imminent debate on Clive's bill.

The Rivers Trust has an interactive map of sewage spills in England here – it's pretty up-to-date and utterly shocking. The trust also has links for those seeking Scottish and Welsh data.
