Sunak's D-Day blunder, is Farage using dog whistles?, and Mike Lynch

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss Rishi Sunak's D-Day PR problems, Nigel Farage's tactics and lessons from the acquittal of tech tycoon Mike Lynch.

David and Simon analyse what is arguably the biggest PR moment in British electoral history - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's decision to leave the D-Day celebrations in Normandy early. Simon takes us behind the scenes at Number 10 to try to work out exactly how things went so wrong for the PM.

Nigel Farage - he's been accused of 'dog whistle' politics. What are they, and how do they work?

And - the acquittal of tech tycoon Mike Lynch. What are the lessons to be learned from surviving the nine circles of media hell?
