    Jul 9 2026

    The Jeffrey Donaldson scandal has taken another turn, with the former DUP leader now set to face a fresh investigation.


    New allegations have emerged of a sexual assault involving a woman at the party's Westminster offices.


    More details have also come to light about Donaldson's conduct throughout his years in politics as former colleagues speak out about his inappropriate behaviour.


    Is it open season on Jeffrey Donaldson where every rumour is fair game? And why has it taken until now for people to break their silence?

  • Nigel Farage gives “two fingers” and resigns... kind of – a strange day in UK politics
    Jul 7 2026

    Reeling from an investigation into his finances, Nigel Farage has gone on the offensive.

    ­

    In a public address on Tuesday afternoon, the Reform UK leader announced his intention to resign as an MP in order to trigger a by-election that he intends to contest.

    ­

    “This will be a people versus the establishment by-election,” Farage said.

    “It's a chance to stick two fingers up to the entire establishment, to frankly tell them where to go,” he added, noting that he will “fight to win” and “continue the political revolution that Reform has started” in the UK.

    ­

    The move has been heavily criticised by opponents, with outgoing prime minister Keir Starmer labelling it a “desperate stunt” and stating that Farage is “up to his neck in sleaze”.

    ­

    So, can Farage managed to turn the accusations against him into a conspiracy and turn the raging tide to his advantage?

    ­

    And who is ‘Posh George’, the man whose association with Farage has caused such media scrutiny and public pressure?

    ­

    On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Kevin Doyle is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady to ask if Farage is redefining the idea of politics being a risky business.

  • Extra: Former swimming coach George Gibney convicted of sexually abusing four girls more than 50 years ago
    Jul 6 2026

    For more than 30 years, the name George Gibney has haunted Irish swimming.

    ­

    The former national swimming coach left Ireland in the 1990s after a prosecution against him was halted, leaving many of those who said they were abused by him without the day in court they had waited for.

    Today, after decades of investigations, legal battles, failed hopes and unanswered questions, Gibney has been convicted of sexually abusing young girls more than 50 years ago.

    ­

    This afternoon, a Central Criminal Court jury found the 77-year-old guilty of multiple counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape. He had already pleaded guilty to five further counts of indecent assault at the outset of the trial. He will be sentenced later this month.

  • The brutal unsolved murder of Charles Self and its impact on Ireland’s gay community
    Jul 6 2026

    Creative and hard-working, Charles Self moved to Ireland in the late 1970s when he was poached from the BBC for an enviable role at RTÉ.

    As the lead set designer on the then-thriving Late Late Show, Self was able to mould the flagship programme to his creative vision.

    Popular with his colleagues and in line for a pay rise, Self was flying high, until his life was tragically cut short in 1982 following a violent and frenzied attack that had major implications for Ireland’s gay community.

    On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Katie Byrne is joined by Sunday Independent journalist Liam Collins to look back at the brutal, still unsolved murder of Charles Self.
