Description

This week we look at the revolting state of our water in the UK, and question whether nationalisation of the industry is the answer. 

In Front Page Face Off, we analyse an article that shows mortgages are becoming easier to attain, and whether that’s a good thing.

And we open the doors of the Rant Room, where we discuss the slightly ridiculous defamation law suit being brought against Candace Owens by the French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife. 

We also welcome our special (AI) guest, Mr Jeremy Corbyn.
