Newsnight

But the trouble for Prince Andrew is only just beginning.

He told BBC Newsnight, it's not enough.

We have to have some kind of investigation that goes further into this.

He's still walking around a free man.

We're going to do that.

So spare me the bullshit.

Amanda Roberts, Virginia's sister-in-law, also told Newsnight that she supported the notion of a joint U.S.-U.K. investigation.

I think both countries need to look at collaborating here.

What, no? No, Prince Andrew? not even his lawyers, nobody representing him, has never, in a meaningful way, explained all of these allegations that have been leveled against him.

You see, he thought that that Newsnight interview would be the cherry on top, right? Oh, this isn't me.

I'm not the guy they're saying I am.

Let's move on.

And when I finally did an audit of how much news I, I was consuming in the week, it was over 18 hours.

I would be listening to the radio in the morning, then in the evening I'd do Channel Four News, News Night, Question Time.

If it was an election year in America, I'd do the Incident Room with Wolf Blitzer on CNN.

Um, I was reading all the papers every day, I did all the Sunday papers, and I was also on social media all the time.

It should be treated as morally outrageous, not just because it retroactively changes agreements between graduates and the government, but also because it's an additional 9% marginal tax rate on one generation that previous ones who went to university for free will never pay.

Treasury Minister James Murray, who went to university when tuition fees were only £1,000 a year, didn't seem that concerned about it, though, when he was speaking to Newsnight.

Martin Lewis has called it today a breach of natural justice to change the contractual terms on loans that 18-year-olds signed up to.

That's

He's been in and out of rehab, and he'd started talking openly about his drug addiction back in 2013.

And one of the things that happened was, was he appeared on a show on BBC's Newsnight, hosted by Jeremy Paxman, and he clashed with Peter Hitchens, who's brother of the late author Christopher Hitchens.

Peter's still alive, and Christopher isn't.

The panel includes, you'll also hear a person, I don't know much about her, but she's on the side of Perry, named Baroness Meacher.

Urgent questions.

Well, I could ask you, do you want to be a presenter on Newsnight? I had to cut down on the sugar.

I had to often remind my family that it was my birthday.

The

They spent the weekend in Norfolk at the Sandringham Estate.

Andrew spoke to the BBC Newsnight in 2019 about his links to Epstein, and when he was asked about that weekend, he said, it was a straightforward shooting weekend, whatever that means.

Anyone want to explain to the rest of us what that means, a straightforward shooting weekend? What, you have bent shooting weekends? Crooked shooting weekends? What is a straightforward shooting weekend? Andrew photographed with Roberts and Maxwell in London.

Now we all know about this photograph, I'm not even going to go into it.

What are you guys doing? Maybe they didn't.

But I'll tell you what, either way, what's Prince Andrew doing? I mean, here's an idea.

Why don't you Google the people you're hanging out with? During a Newsnight interview in 2019, Andrew claimed he didn't know about the proceedings and that Epstein had attended because he had invited Maxwell.

So again, he says in the interview he invited Maxwell, but all of a sudden him and Epstein were the close ones.

And just on that, I mean, Jim, I don't understand lots about your job, but as far as I can tell, you open the budget, you control F, student loan fee, and you spotted something really, really interesting in it.

However, I suspect you might have a different view to the Paymaster General James Murray, who was on Newsnight last night.

Budget last year, you unilaterally changed the terms of student loans.

You froze the student loan repayment threshold, which is not what students were promised.

Something we've covered a lot on Newsnight.

We've heard from many, many students who were upset.

Why haven't you addressed that today?

And the opposite is being done, which is let's hide under some coats until it all goes away.
