This week, Harriet Langley-Swindon and Producer Martin talk to MaryBeth JoAnn Meg, an American-Irishwoman in Belfast about how worried she is about the new trouble there; Chancellor Rachel Reeves joins us because she ISN'T hiding from a decision on the pensions triple lock or, indeed, hiding in general; and Eshaan Akbar has a Hot & Spicy Takeaway of the Week about the immigrant success story that's taking place in California.

Thank you to Pete, who signed up to our Patreon this week. He, like all Patreons, will be getting a bonus interview with tech guru Marty Twelve in the middle of the show, which features some of Marty's trademark bold predictions. Patreons also get every episode early and without adverts, access to the full video of all our interviews, as well as the Patreon-exclusive monthly Time For Questions podcast, where we answer your questions, so get over to Patreon.com/NonCensored and sign up for one or two pounds a week to support the show, and make it possible for us to pay our guests. (If you don't want to subscribe, but do want to give us a one-off amount, all the Patreon-exclusive videos are available for individual sale.)
