Michelle Mone: Is it too easy for the rich and famous to lie to the public?
What did Michelle Mone mean when she said all she’d done was “lie to the press“ after she threatened journalists with lawsuits if they dared to investigate her story?
Today we follow all the unanswered questions - is our defamation law serving the public?
What did the government know about the missing Mone millions?
And should she still sit in the House of Lords?
Tax Lawyer Dan Neidle and Labour shadow minister Nick Thomas-Symonds join us.
After that, we speak to former UK Ambassador to Lebanon Tom Fletcher on the horror and pain that the war between Israel and Hamas continues to inflict on all those affected; and is Jon Sopel running a covert cannabis farm in his basement?
