Lewis Goodall sits in for James and asks a blunt question about Nigel Farage: if you want to be Prime Minister, how much outside money is too much?

With fresh questions over Farage’s earnings from a gold bullion company, on top of the already controversial £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire, Lewis explores whether Reform’s leader is starting to look less like an anti-establishment insurgent and more like a politician with too many financial interests to explain away. As callers weigh in, the debate turns to trust, standards in public life, and whether British politics is becoming numb to conflicts of interest that would once have ended careers.

Always a good listen. Despite often being faced with extraordinary hypocrisy and a level of obtusity that frankly beggars belief, I appreciate the debate; good listening, calm questioning and curiosity, often despite evident incredulity...does reinforce my belief that you simply can't teach stupid though!
