In Politics: (24:34) There are many people that I pray to have a downfall; one is Michael Gove who has come out of frontbench politics "clean" but don't get it twisted, his legacy should be noted as unashamedly crap.
In the first of two Society segment: (36:15) We've gassed the General Secretary of the RMT Mick Lynch before, and the longer the strike summer goes, the more we get to know the defacto face of the strike summer.
Lastly, in the 2nd Society segment: (52:10) Skin whitening is a billion dollar industry that preys on black people around the world; but now, those products are becoming lethal and giving even more irreparable damage.
