The investigative journalists behind ‘Clown World’, Matt Shea and Jamie Tahsin, join James O'Brien to reflect on Nigel Farage’s admission that he spread Andrew Tate’s false claims about the Southport attacker's identity.

In this interview they break down the ‘pyramid’ of Andrew Tate followers, and highlight the 'international network of men that have learnt how to groom women'.

In August 2024, police officers in Romania carried out raids at the home of Andrew Tate, who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

Andrew Tate, 37, and his brother Tristan, 36, both former kickboxers and dual British-US citizens who have amassed millions of social media followers, were originally arrested in 2022 near Bucharest along with two Romanian women.

Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four last year.

They have denied the allegations.
