Sunak Drops Green Policies, Murdoch Drops Chairmanship

This week, co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss Rishi Sunak pushing back on a number of green policies, including extending a ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars until 2035. However, some of the other policies he supposedly dropped were... never going to be enacted...



Elsewhere on the show, they discuss the allegations against Russell Brand. All are denied by the actor and comedian, but what does it feel like when someone you like is less than you want them to be? And what was the effect of '90s and '00s culture?



The show finishes with a discussion of Rupert Murdoch's decision to step down and chairman of Newscorp and Fox, with son Lachlan taking the reigns.
