Be Vigilant (with Phil Wang)
With Defence Secretary John Healy asking us to 'be vigilant', Phil Wang joins Armando to look at how politicians communicate in the aftermath of extreme violence.
This week, Armando is joined by Phil Wang to look at the use and abuse of political language.
Defence Secretary John Healy says we need to 'be vigilant', and Reform councillor Laila Cunningham says 'Labour want us to shut up and die' - we look at how the public and the police respond to horrific events, and at our relationship with the police.
We also discuss chocolate getting worse, Nigel Farage straddling the line between being a maverick and assuring the markets, and what other things Rachel Reeves is 'refusing to rule out'.
