Why is Reform threatening to jail the bo...

About this episode

Not content with calling a former Defence Secretary a "traitor" and getting a ticking off from Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf has outdone himself today. He's accused Vodafone of aiding and abetting the "invasion of Britain" by handing out SIM cards to British charities - one such charity works with migrants in Calais. In an open letter today he's told the Vodafone board a Reform government would jail them if this happened under their watch. Is it actually Zia Yusuf who needs his SIM card taken off him?

Later, Karoline Leavitt has decided that with two toddlers in her life she doesn't have the capacity to work for a third in the White House. How much or a loss will she be to MAGA?
