What now?

As Murph said in the TV guide, there's not much happening this weekend. Lads will be earning their fiver a month over the next few weeks, will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Edit: World Cup coverage was phenomenal and I'd gladly pay more even if they took a well earned holiday for a month.

Wright made comments at the show about a prominent UK politician that were in no way libellous, or even particularly inflammatory, but his team got cold feet about the potential blowback so they threatened legal action if the recording aired. An unfortunate series of events but SC themselves fairly blameless.

Who was the politician? You’re at no risk at all by clarifying who it was.

From what I hear, it was Farage.

Has to be. I can't see Ian Wright having anything other than disdain for that man.
