This is 'The Week According To' where we invite a guest to give their thoughts on some of the talking points and headlines from the tabloids and across social media over the past 7 days.
This episode, we welcome back our good friend Charlie Sansom to discuss key political issues. We preview the return of his show, "X Uncensored" on X Spaces, focused on free speech and deregulating British media with his initiative "Ofcom Watch."
We evaluate London Mayor Sadiq Khan's performance on crime and air quality, addressing government policy implications. Charlie critiques Prime Minister, 'Two Tier' Keir Starmer's proposed smoking bans for their regulatory inconsistencies between tobacco and food.
The conversation shifts to free speech concerns, including Mark Zuckerberg's comments on censorship and the legal challenges faced by political dissidents like Tommy Robinson. We also debate identity politics in education and media narratives around race, before concluding with reflections on a Trump campaign ad and the necessity for independent thought in political discourse.
