Should the 'Suffolk Strangler' have been stopped sooner?

Wed, 11 Feb 2026

The "Suffolk Strangler" murders horrified the UK in 2006, as five women were killed in the Ipswich area.

But should the killer have been caught years before?

Steve Wright became known as one of the country's most notorious serial killers - and admitted last week to having murdered a sixth woman in 1999.

Now, his only survivor says his victims might have survived if police had taken her seriously.

Niall speaks to Sky correspondent Emma Birchley.

Will the Andrew claims overshadow William in Saudi?

Mon, 09 Feb 2026

**Since we published this episode, we've heard from Buckingham Palace about allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential documents with Jeffrey Epstein whilst acting as a UK Trade Envoy.

"The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct," the Palace said**

The Prince and Princess of Wales made their first public remarks earlier saying their thoughts "remain focused on the victims."

The allegations threaten to overshadow an important diplomatic trip for Prince William to Saudi Arabia – which raises its own questions over the use of royal ‘soft’ power.

Niall speaks to Sky’s royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills, who is on William’s trip to the Middle East.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any allegations of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Mandelson – the biggest political scandal since Profumo?

Fri, 06 Feb 2026

John Profumo was secretary of state for war when he had an affair with Christine Keeler, which ultimately brought down Conservative prime minister Harold Macmillan in the early 1960s.

Parallels are now being drawn between the Profumo affair, and the crisis Sir Keir Starmer is facing over Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Not just because of the damage to his government but also in how the people at the centre of the scandals behaved as though normal rules did not apply to them.

It's said that history often repeats itself - and it seems politics is no different.

Niall is joined by Vanessa Holburn, author of The Profumo Affair, to discuss the parallels between the two scandals.
