So Paddy, every now and again, a news story comes along that is important and interesting and politically significant,
but also sometimes just downright strange.
And today we're going to be talking about one of those curiosities.
Well, it was more than a curiosity because it was a resignation of a government minister.
And I think as well, it would have had far more prominence in our lives if it wasn't for the tides of the news.
It sort of ebbed because of war.
That's absolutely right.
So today we will be talking to a man who was a government minister, Josh Simons.
He had to resign, having been at the heart of a big controversy about a Labour organisation that was always charged with having
been part of getting Keir Starmer into power.
But he also curiously finds himself involved in one of the other huge news stories of this week.
In a bizarre twist of fate, Josh Simons, who 's still a Labour MP,
worked at Meta, who of course found themselves at the heart of one of the huge big news stories of this week,
found alongside Google of producing algorithms and products that are addictive,
and they lost a landmark legal case in the United States.
So there are two very good reasons to speak to Josh Simons,
the former Labour Minister, who on this Saturday's newscast is giving us his first
proper interview about his resignation.
On this Saturday's edition of Newscast.
