Flags Week — Flags! Flags! Flags! Reform Lose the Plot, GB News Threats, Stamp Duty & Katie Lam.

You may have noticed in the media that it's Flags Week again — it comes around sooner every year. We have a chat about that and how Farage has used it to cover up a whopping mistake.

Sal educates Don on Stamp Duty — the history of, and the current state of play.

We've put in a little clip of the incredible Stewart Lee for your delectation — it highlights that Reform are still UKIP, twelve years down the line.

And Don tells us all about being threatened by a GB News presenter.

We chat about some research Don has done on an up-and-coming Tory MP that could be the new face of the party.

Oh! And there's a funny clip at the end highlighting the Alpha Male prowess of Pete Hegseth. 😂
