The Ditch and the Politics of Media Ownership

Jack Horgan-Jones and Pat Leahy join Hugh to talk about the week in politics, including:

• Government reaction to the agonising migrant accommodation shortage crisis. Will voters react too when they get a chance?

• Matt Barrett's apology for making jokes about King Charles III's coronation while there as the Taoiseach's +1

• At the time of recording, local elections in Northern Ireland are looking good for Sinn Féin

Plus they share their favourite Irish Times piece of the week:

• Alex Kane on the need for Unionism to broaden its appeal

• Justine McCarthy on the political motivations of news organisations

• Joe Humphreys on the schism between liberalism and progressivism
