News Agents and Rest Is Politics Silent On Rape Gangs Report

The podcastocracy is surprisingly quiet on the bombshell revelations in the Casey review. The News Agents –  which promises “astute analysis and explanation of the day’s news” by “three of the country’s top journalists” – published a juicy 43-minute episode yesterday on the Middle East, with a lengthy discussion on Trump’s game plan and what comes next for Iran and Israel. They even found time to interview Stella Creasy about abortion. Not a word about the rape gangs scandal which splashed virtually every front page this morning… 

At the time of going to pixel, neither Emily Maitlis nor Jon Sopel has tweeted a word about it. Guido even checked Sopel’s Bluesky account, just in case. It is still collecting cobwebs. The ‘centrist-dad’ audio torture that is The Rest is Politics is also yet to trigger the ’emergency podcast’ alarm over one of the biggest political coverups in decades…

In fairness to Lewis Goodall, he discussed the topic on his Sunday LBC slot. But why is his co-host Maitlis so reluctant to wade in? Anything to do with her Rupert Lowe tirade ageing like milk?
