I migrated to Times Radio last Monday for a three-hour juggernaut of a show that covered everything from Ukraine to UK Labour Party tax U-turns and on to more feature-based stories that included an interview with Thomas Harding, author of a fascinating book called The Einstein Vendetta.

There was that US/UK trade deal, the attempted annexation of Gaza, a bizarre court case running all week in Ireland and the shocking (to some) retirement of broadcasting icon (and friend of mine) Joe Duffy (more of which later).
