Why one journalist’s tweet sparked a media frenzy

  • Summary

  • On Remembrance Sunday the Telegraph columnist, Allison Pearson, had a visit from Essex police. Her report sparked a media frenzy, talk of a witch hunt, and an interjection from Elon Musk.

    What really went on? Why is everyone talking about free speech? And how might this play into the whole MAGA playbook? We take a proper look.

    Later, this should be the lame duck period of the US administration. So why has Joe Biden now handed Volodymyr Zelenskyy the long range missiles he’s desperate for? We talk to Mark Urban on Ukraine, and Britain's response.
