  • Summary

  • In this episode of Double Jeopardy, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC engage in a thought-provoking discussion with their guest, Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation and state threats. Together, they examine the implications of Elon Musk's influence on UK politics, the challenges posed by foreign interference, and the far-reaching impact of the National Security Act.

    The conversation explores emerging power dynamics between tech companies and nation states, raising critical questions about potential security threats posed by companies like X, Meta and TikTok.

    In the light of recent noises from the Trump team, they also address the thorny question of the repatriation of British Islamic State prisoners to the UK. Should Shamima Begum and others be brought home to be dealt with here, as the Americans demand?


    Finally, Ken and Tim consider whether Liz Truss’s recent threat to sue Keir Starmer for defamation is the weirdest legal action of all time.
