Is the fiscal black hole ‘made up’?

Wed, 12 Nov 2025

Sir Keir Starmer is standing on the edge of a black hole.

The budget is looming and Downing Street believes some of the prime minister’s own MPs may move against him if it is badly received. 

Much of the jitters within Labour swirl around the filling of a black hole in the public finances that may actually be self-imposed and self-inflicted.

Niall is joined by our data and economics editor Ed Conway - who explains everything you need to know about a fiscal black hole that might not actually really exist.

Unseen: The ‘invisible girl’ abandoned by the state

Tue, 11 Nov 2025

Nonita had a voice, but nobody heard it.

Aged just 18 and in care, Nonita was hit and killed b y a moving train – despite repeatedly warning the professionals responsible for her that she planned to take her own life.

Shocked by Nonita's untimely death, Katharine Bryson - a volunteer who had worked with her - became determined to find out who knew what, and when.

What she uncovered horrified her – and it's a story the state never wanted to be told.

Niall is joined by Sky's people and politics correspondent Nick Martin.

Why does Donald Trump want to sue the BBC for ‘$1bn’?

Mon, 10 Nov 2025

The row over how President Trump was portrayed in a Panorama programme has proved to be a scandal too far for embattled BBC bosses. 

Director-general Tim Davie and BBC News chief executive Deborah Turness have both resigned. 

Mr Trump's lawyers are demanding the BBC retracts the "false" statements in the documentary or face legal action for $1bn (£760m) in damages. 

Many will feel their departures were inevitable after questions over the way a Trump speech was edited sparked concerns about the corporation's impartiality. 

Niall is joined by former Panorama editor and host of the Beeb Watch podcast Roger Bolton to discuss the fallout.
