Where does ‘he said, she said’ charity row leave Prince Harry?

Wed, 06 Aug 2025
No evidence of bullying, misogyny or racism. On the face of it, good news for the Duke of Sussex. 
But there's still plenty of fallout from a very public row ignited by the woman still in charge of the charity set up by Harry in honour of his mother, that he's now walked away from.  

Earlier this year, Sentebale's chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, used an interview with Sky News' Trevor Phillips to accuse Harry of "harassment and bullying at scale". 

The prince strenuously denied those claims and has now been cleared by the Charity Commission, which found no evidence to back up Dr Chandauka's accusations. 

However, it did find the internal - yet very public - dispute at Sentebale "severely impacted the charity's reputation". 

So, what next for Harry and the charity that was once so close to his heart? Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's royal correspondent, Rhiannon Mills, to discuss the fallout.

Why the wait for weight loss jabs on the NHS?

Tue, 05 Aug 2025
The "King Kong" of weight loss drugs, Mounjaro, should finally be available on the NHS. So, why are thousands of patients still waiting for a treatment that could transform their lives? 

Mounjaro was meant to be rolled out across the NHS in England from 23 June for those with the highest clinical need. 

However, a Sky News investigation has found it is only available in eight out of 42 NHS integrated care boards, prompting accusations of a "postcode lottery". 

Many providers will not make it available until autumn, while nearly half of NHS boards said they will cap the number of people they treat due to a lack of funding. 

Our science and medical correspondent, Thomas Moore, joins Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily podcast as he investigates how the shortfall will cost the NHS and wider society. 

Gary, who weighs 25 stone (159kg) and has several obesity-related conditions, speaks to Thomas about the implications of being told Mounjaro is not available in his area.

Mis-sold car loans - did it happen to me?

Mon, 04 Aug 2025
 
If you bought a car as far back as 2007 with a loan organised through your car dealership, you could be eligible for a payout. 
 
The regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, is consulting on a compensation scheme - and it's thought up to 40% of motorists who entered personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase agreements between 2007 and 2021 will be eligible for a payout. 
 
Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Gurpreet Narwan about who might be eligible. 
 
He also speaks to Adrian Dally, director of motor finance at the Finance and Leasing Association, who argues the payout levels look too high at this stage.

Peter Kyle: The making of a maverick minister

Fri, 01 Aug 2025
After doubling down in a very public row with Nigel Farage, Peter Kyle is the minister of the moment.  
In an interview with Sky News, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology caused controversy by suggesting Mr Farage was "on the side" of sexual predators like Jimmy Savile because of his opposition to the Online Safety Act. 

Mr Farage described the comment as "disgusting " and demanded an apology.  

But in a post on X, Mr Kyle went further, stating: "If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that." 

So, who is the man behind the politician? Peter Kyle's meteoric rise through the Labour ranks has come despite a life-long struggle with dyslexia, as well as dealing with the grief of the unexpected death of his partner. 

Niall Paterson speaks to chief political correspondent, Jon Craig, and the former Labour cabinet minister, Baroness Armstrong – who gave Mr Kyle his first job in politics.
