Earl Spencer and Ed Sheeran

Jeremy discusses Earl Spencer's book, controversy over Ed Sheeran's tour, whether UFOs exist, and in praise of ties as the House of Lords says peers don't have to wear them.

Jeremy discusses Buckingham Palace strongly denying claims by Earl Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, that King Charles said “we’ll forget her soon enough” shortly after her death. He asks what you would do in Ed Sheeran’s shoes. All support acts have pulled out of his tour after the rapper Macklemore was dropped from the line-up. He’d called for a “Free Palestine” at a previous gig. We meet the barrister who, after much research, has concluded that UFOs exist. And as the House of Lords dress code says peers can ditch their ties, we ask if you love wearing them. Take us through your tie collection.
