The Rest Is MoneyThe man who rumbled Mandelson: Dan Neidle's Epstein files investigationHow did friend of the show, tax lawyer Dan Neidle, manage to discover the true extent of Peter Mandelson’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein?

Has Dan discovered the real reason why Mandelson was prepared to forward sensitive emails almost immediately to the disgraced financier and sex offender?

What's Left?

Pundits, sub-editors and political rivals have been drawn to this phrase more than any other over the past 18 months. Evidentially, it seems a spurious claim. The Prime Minister has trudged on, by all accounts unfazed, despite the merry-go-round of self-immolation (call it a self-destructive fireworks display) that’s dogged his premiership. Labour’s top-scorer, much like the PM’s beloved Arsenal, has been own goals. And yet with a soviet-style majority, Starmer still will...

The UK JournalA Look at Dan Neidle Children and Family LifeThe children of Dan Neidle are a quiet but meaningful part of his life, often mentioned only in passing as he keeps their identities private. He has two sons, both now in their early teens, who moved with him and his wife to Norfolk when he retired in 2022. Their everyday moments sometimes collide with his unexpected return to public life—like the day one of them got stuck in a lakeside ladder just as he received a major legal threat. Despite his intense investigations and public profile, his children remain a grounding presence and the centre of his personal world.

With spending plans agreed only last June, all roads point to more tax rises.

Now HMRC may be thinking again. We talk to tax expert Dan Neidle about the origin of this boondoggle and why - as a matter of actual law, let alone fairness - it's never been justified, and why the government should now clarify the position.Presented by...
