Allegedly David Beckham really wants a Knighthood and is fuming he hasn’t yet got one. Golden Balls was left red-faced after a hack saw his private email rants go public. But will this controversy damage the globally successful Beckham brand? Or should Becks have been given the Royal nod from Liz long ago?
House of Commons Speaker John Bercow caused controversy when he made his feelings about Trump public. If the Speaker has his way, the US President will not address the House when he visits the UK. But was Bercrow speaking for Britain, or talking out of turn?
We also talk tech this week, as an Orwellian turn of events saw 11 million smart TV’s secretly spy on viewers.
