Strong opinions, experienced reporters give their unfiltered views and perspectives on up to the minute topics covering UK, US and beyond. Love their take and appreciate their blunt unfiltered style. The odd ‘Potty mouth’ doesn’t bother me - keeping it real!
Too left leaning, not balanced enough and potty mouthed. Look I don’t care about Trump but he’s really got under their skin.
