'Anne should HANDBAG him!' Andrew Pierce blasts Prince Andrew for hogging spotlight | The Reaction

On The Reaction this week, Sarah Vine and Andrew Pierce praise JK Rowling for challenging new hate crime laws in Scotland, by publicly labelling some prominent trans women as men. Sarah argues the Harry Potter author has shown more leadership than many politicians, while Andrew says the trans lobby has been given ‘exalted status’ and tells activists to ‘rein their necks in’.

Also on the show, will the military drone strikes that killed seven aid workers, including three British military heroes, turn the tide of public opinion against Israel? Andrew and Sarah are joined by crisis expert Mark Almond who calls the incident an ‘act of insanity’ and says it is a ‘moral own goal for Israel.

Andrew and Sarah also discuss Prince Andrew’s prominent place at the royal Easter walkabout just days ahead of the release of Scoop, the Netflix film diving into his disastrous Newsnight interview about his relationship with paedophile Jeffery Epstein. Sarah says the Duke of York has no self awareness, while Andrew argues Princess Anne should have ‘handbagged him!’

The duo also give their reaction to an impending hosepipe ban in the UK, despite one of the wettest periods on record and designers meddling with the Union Jack on the new Team GB kit.

Showbiz supremo Katie Hind takes us behind the scenes of why Paddy McGuinness keeps getting plum roles at the BBC, including on Radio 2, and why she thinks any contestant on Strictly Come Dancing would be lucky to be paired up with dancer Giovanni Pernice. Plus, how Taylor Swift has made it onto the Forbes list of billionaires.
