At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Trump: 6/10 

An infuriating mix of effective and insane. It's rare for a single person to dominate news everyday all week, but there you go. 

 

Iceland: 2/10 

Was Iceland his Biden moment and no one called it out? Can you threaten to invade a place who's name you can't even remember? 

 

Tony Brown: 8/10 

Appeared on the show this week and set the cat amongst the pigeons. 

 

The rugby union: 2/10 

When you look at Razor and listen to Tony, where do you reckon the real issues are? 

 

Anna Breman: 6/10 

The Dr vs Winston vs Nicola. I side with Anna. She is either independent or she isn't.
