Kiki Marriott is one of the thousands of people in the UK whose life has spiralled out of control because of gambling addiction. 

However, research has shown that while people from ethnic minorities like Kiki are actually less likely to gamble than their white counterparts – they are more likely to suffer harm from gambling and less likely to seek help. 

Why is this? And what can be done to help those most in need feel more comfortable with getting support? 

Niall is joined by Kiki and Sky News correspondent Emma Birchley. 

Warning: This podcast contains references to addiction, substance abuse and suicide.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump launched a series of punitive tariffs that in turn ignited a trade war that has changed the way we look at the established global economy.  

As we head towards the first anniversary of Trump’s second term in office, what has been the impact of those tariffs both in the USA and around the world? 

Niall is joined by Sky’s economics and data editor, Ed Conway, who has been on the road to see how Trump’s tariffs have affected everyone from small businesses to global conglomerates.

“Too many women and babies are not getting the safe, compassionate care they deserve.”  

The starkest of warnings has been issued by the president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Professor Ranee Thakar, about the failures in maternity services across the country. 

A new Sky documentary, Birth Trauma: The women who weren’t listened to, tells the stories of three women who were failed by the NHS.  

But why is maternity care so bad in the UK? And what can be done to improve the experiences of women and babies? 

Niall is joined by Leah Hazard, a practising NHS midwife and bestselling author of Hard Pushed: A Midwife’s Story, to understand what leads to negative birth experiences and what changes she hopes a national inquiry will recommend.

Imagine setting up a political party and then boycotting day one of its first conference.

It's an unusual thing to do - but exactly what Your Party co-founder Zarah Sultana did last weekend.

The former Labour MP isn't the first politician to struggle after defecting to set up a new movement.

What's the story behind the left-wing 32-year-old - and how do you successfully set up a new party?

Niall is joined by Sky News political correspondent Rob Powell, who attended Your Party's chaotic inaugural conference.
