The coming Trump administration appointment of Robert F Kennedy Jnr should terrify us all. An oddball conspiracy theorist who has a track record of causing real damage to the health of millions is to be the next Health Secretary of the United States. The Matts are joined by one of the world’s leading authorities on vaccines - Mark Honigsbaum - to understand the danger RFK Jr represents, not just to the US but to us all. But first - the Matts bid a fond farewell to John Prescott and wish there were many more of his ilk around today. Enjoy!

The full horror of sexualised abuse in the Church of England has claimed the scalp of Archbishop Justin Welby. Was he the victim of a witch hunt; a man forced out of office by unfair pressure as many seem to think? No, say the Matts. And there’s a CONTENT WARNING on this episode: some of the ghastly abuse suffered by victims of John Smyth is discussed, as is the wider issue of child abuse in other churches including the Roman Catholic Church. Also - what difference does the interlude between Trump’s first and second term make? A lot think the Matts. Find out why!

The election of Donald Trump poses huge challenges to the UK … but can Keir Starmer act to protect his government from the Trump storm to come? How can a small nation off the coast of the EU best defend its interests in the new global reality? And if Starmer’s challenge is daunting, his predicament is as nothing compared to that of Vlodymyr Zelensky. Is Ukraine’s struggle against Putin now doomed? The Matts discuss.

Also - Matt D talked about working with the great Michael Caine on his brilliant new biographical journey through life and the lessons he’s learned. Enjoy!

It’s an earthquake and it changes everything. The Matts take in the scale of Trump’s victory and discuss how it happened and what it means; for the UK, for Labour specifically, for Ukraine, for the Middle East, for the climate. And they start to map out a response for fighting back against the oncoming tide of far right populism - both here and abroad.
