Russell Brand, David Walliams and the legacy of MeToo - The News Agents

Nov 13, 2026
This Friday we're joined by Jess Phillips MP, following a week that has sent shockwaves through the British entertainment industry. Two of the most recognisable faces in British television are at the centre of a reckoning: one has been jailed for rape, while the other faces a series of sexual misconduct allegations. Has anything really changed since #MeToo? We discuss power, privilege and accountability, what these cases reveal about British culture, and whether the industry - and the institutions around it - have truly learned the lessons of the past. # #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents website: https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
