MICHAEL
Hello and a very warm welcome to our weekly news review show here on Colourful Radio - Five in the Eye - I’m Michael Ohajuru in London and you’re listening to episode 0384
Phil’s away this week, I’m joined by an old friend of the show - lawyer, communications consultant and podcaster extraordinaire - it’s none other than Mr Kola Sonaike. Hi there Kola, welcome back to Five in the Eye!
KOLA
Hi Michael. Good to be back on Five in the Eye! I can reveal that our top story is going to be The Budget - we’re recording this on Wed so it’s our take on what’s Hunt’s Autumn statement going to reveal - do we think it’s really austerity all over again?...
MICHAEL
For story number two, what just happened in America’s mid term elections? The Democrats defied the polls! What happened to the forecast Republican red wave ? They won the House but lost the Senate ? And Trumps back and ready to stand in 2024? What might it all mean ?
KOLA
What’s story number three? It’s ex COVID Minister of Health Matt Hancok in the jungle - in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here jungle already prompted 1,100 Ofcom complaints
- is this the future for failed or failing politicians - reality TV or has he gone too far ?
MICHAEL
And for our fourth story, it’s from China…a Chinese chain-smoking marathon runner completes 26 miles in less than three and a half hours is this the future of marathon running ?
KOLA
And finally, to wrap up the five how should you dress for breakfast at an hotel Mumsnet is aflame over the family who wore pyjamas to a breakfast buffet. Is it really the end of the world?
MICHAEL
Kola and I have are of course appropriately dressed in bow tie and dinner jacket to discuss this week’s Five in the Eye…
