After a rollercoaster week of news – the threat of World War 3 suddenly felt a little overstated. But a few short hours after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran – both countries returned to a war of words and missiles – leading to President Trump delivering an outburst for the ages: “They don’t know what the F*** they’re doing”.

But does Trump? Nish and Coco don’t think so. The UK has been swept up in the maelstrom – with the pomp and circumstance of diplomatic theatrics making little impact in a world where the US president acts unilaterally.

Then, the gang speak to urban sociologist Dr Abi O’Connor about a potential way out of the affordability crisis in housing – rent controls. Abi breaks down the concept for us all to digest, with some listener questions along the way.

Then, finally – the home secretary Yvette Cooper is seeking to proscribe Palestine Action as a terror group… WTF.
