What should lead the news? Three Tortoise journalists each pitch the story they think should be at the top of the news agenda to deputy editor Giles Whittell.

In this episode, Nigel Farage grabs the limelight but should he get as much coverage as he does? Plus, Benjamin Netanyahu disbands his war cabinet; and who is pure enough to fund the arts after Barclays and Baillie Gifford faced anti-Israel boycotts?
