Jess Phillips takes on Nigel Farage
Description
Jess Phillips guest hosts the James O’Brien Daily podcast and doesn’t hold back.
With Nigel Farage triggering a by-election in Clacton rather than facing parliamentary scrutiny over questions about his finances, Jess asks whether this is political genius, political cowardice, or just a desperate grab for attention. As callers weigh in, the conversation turns to standards in public life, accountability, and whether Farage is playing the public for fools.
This week's guest hosts:
Thursday: Reform UK Treasury Spokesperson Robert Jenrick
Friday: Independent MP Karl Turner
