- Henry Nowak was killed by Vikram Digwa in December 2025.
In police bodycam footage released as part of Digwa's sentencing this week, it was shown that Nowak was handcuffed by the police, while telling officers he had been stabbed.
"I don't think you have, mate." Was the response he received as he told officers he couldn't breathe.
The day after Digwa was sentenced to life in prison, a riot broke out on the street that Nowak waas killed on. Nigel Farage called for "pure, cold rage", Zia Yusuf called for Digwa's mother's deportation, Rupert Lowe called for the death penalty. Tommy Robinson was in Southampton to add to these comments.
We went to Southampton to speak to residents about the harrowing murder, and the riots that followed.

- Description
- At the centre of this week's PMQs was the tragic killing of Henry Nowak, which some political figures seem to have used for their own ends. Seán is joined by Charlie Herbert of The London Economic to breakdown the session.
The Prime Minister himself directly accused Nigel Farage of exploiting the case to stir “grievance and division”, after the Reform leader called for “pure, cold rage” over the police response. He doubled down in the Commons, repeating claims of “two-tier policing”, which Starmer firmly rejected. He insisted the situation demanded “serious work, not rage”.
Seán and Charlie also cover questions from Kemi Badenoch, who, respecting the wishes of Nowak's family, led instead on arguments against welfare.

- In a clip from today's podcast, Seán and Andy react to the news that Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur have been barred from entering the UK after having their visas revoked.
The pair, both prominent political commentators with large international audiences, claim the decision is linked to their outspoken criticism of Israel and its crimes in Gaza.
Andy and Seán unpack what the decision says about the Labour government, discuss previous bans both on the left and right, and express concerns that a precedent is being set for a potential Reform government to crack down on free speech.

It all came to a head when a contributor made a baffling accusation of Ava, which led her to walk out.

- Last week we spoke to Norman Finkelstein in a wide ranging interview veering from the American podcast-sphere, the end of US hegemony in the face of China, and the ongoing and historic subjugation of the Palestinian people by Israel.
During the interview, we spoke about how antisemitism has become a stick to beat anyone remotely critical of Israel with, and how that has undermined the sinister reality of antisemitism. Recently in the UK, the Labour Party referenced the sharing of videos of Norman Finkelstein speaking as adjacent to antisemitism. Seán put the allegation to the man himself.

- Description
- From the Commons to the national stage, this supercut brings together some powerful parliamentary moments from Andy Burnham, now confirmed as Labour Party’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election. These speeches set out the Manchester Mayor's historical positions on several policy areas, and are worth keeping in mind should he challenge Keir Starmer for No 10.
From warnings about the impact of social care cuts to firm opposition to NHS privatisation, Burnham argues for a fully integrated health and care service, built around a single budget and focused on supporting people in their homes.
On immigration, he strikes a balance between enforcement and fairness, backing practical controls while opposing what he describes as rushed or punitive legislation that might harm the vulnerable. He voices concerns about exploitation, market fairness, and the consequences of criminalising those at risk.
He speaks on homelessness and inequality, pointing to th...

- Last weekend, around 60,000 people from across England, Scotland and Wales, travelled to Parliament Square at the behest of Tommy Robinson.
On Saturday the 16th of May, the “Unite the Kingdom” Rally ostensibly gathered to “defend our freedom, protect our children, and take our country back”. It was the smaller of two protests taking place in central London. At least a quarter of a million people attended a pro-Palestine rally to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Nakba - the 1948 mass displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the creation of Israel - and to unite against the far-right.
On the rally’s main stage, a man covered in bacon played the cello. Three women in niqabs derobed to reveal young French influencers as the crowd chanted “take it off”. And the mother of Rhiannon White, who was murdered by an asylum seeker staying at the hotel where she worked, gave a tragic speech outlining the distressing circumstances of...

He took time out of his busy schedule to speak to us about the deepening crisis in free speech across the globe, that has stemmed from public opposition to Western complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Professor Finkelstein breaks down a lifetime of work on the Israel-Palestine conflict. He also spells out the ever-complex shifts in the American and global right, and how these shifts make for a dark future, as allegiances fray in the American podcast space when it comes to support for Israel.
Finkelstein details the underlying antisemitism in society and how it is deepened by the crackdown on freedom of expression. Finally, Professor Finkelstein lifts the lid on his first steps in the world of academic research, and how his humble beginnings informed his passion and drive for the truth in ever...

- Last summer, the Bell Hotel in Epping became the epicentre of Britain's immigration debate.
Thousands of people protested outside the hotel, which the Government uses to house asylum seekers, following the arrest of one of its residents.
Reform UK MPs supported the protesters, even after violence broke out.
As the number of protests swelled, Farage vowed "mass deportations" of illegal immigrants if his party wins the next general election.
And, in the days before this month’s local elections, the party announced a new policy: closing asylum hotels and opening detention centres in constituencies with Green MPs.
On May 7, 2 in 5 voters in Epping cast their ballot for Reform and the party gained 11 seats on the District Council - while Reform won control of the upper-tier Essex County Council.
Over the following weekend, the St Georges Cross and Union Jack re-appeared on lampposts.

The three also dive into the potential roles of Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham, two figures tipped as future leadership contenders. Will Streeting mount a serious bid, or "bottle it", as Lavery suggests? And would Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham return to Westminster politics? If so, how?
