Having worked on Obama's 2012 re-election, Vote Leave in 2016 and Boris Johnson's 2019 victory, she knows her way around a campaign and has some strong ideas on how to change things.

    On this week's episode, Ed and Becca discuss a more serious topic and the terrifying rise of knife crime in the UK. They are joined by activist and campaigner Faron Paul, who is on a one man mission to make Britain's streets safer. He runs a nationwide knife amnesty, offering vouchers in return for weapons being handed to him. During his interview he asks:


    Are prison sentences tough enough?

    Are we doing enough to prevent the purchase of weapons?

    Why don't we license knives like we do guns?
