Britain’s chief prosecutor insists “no one is above the law” as Mark Dolan takes on the growing storm around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, with legendary royal insider Dickie Arbiter warning the disgraced ex-duke’s “protestations of innocence” have been crumbling since the 2019 Newsnight interview and demanding he “step forward” and answer questions on both sides of the Atlantic. With police “assessing” and the Palace under pressure, the show asks the uncomfortable question: is Andrew now heading for a Congress grilling, a UK investigation, or both? The morning then turns to the Sun’s explosive “asylum farce” splash: £500,000 already paid in phone compensation to illegal migrants, with Mark summing up the mood as listeners rage that it’s become “make it make sense” Britain. Brendan O’Neill (Spiked) says taking phones is “a fundamental right” for a sovereign country, while former Tory leader Sir Ian Duncan-Smith brands the system “a complete mess”, backing tougher action on the ECHR and warning the bill could spiral into the millions. Away from Westminster and the courts, Mark also wades into the culture wars as Bond fans clash over what 007 should look like, with historian and broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo arguing “if you want diverse spies, create your own new characters” and warning against tampering with the “tried and true formula” as Amazon takes the wheel. From royals to borders to Bond, it’s a morning of hard questions, sharp takes, and a single theme running through it all: the public’s patience is wearing thin.
