It turns out that the latest re-shuffle of presenters at Radio 5Live is a bit of a 'domestic'.
Drive host Tony Livesey, 60, (Fishermore High School, Colne and editor of the Daily Sport) appears to have done a Kuenssberg, and sent an email in some way critical of co-presenter Clare McDonnell, 57 (St Mary's Bishop Stortford, BA Humanistic Studies, Nottingham, Knight Ayton Management) to its subject by mistake.
Tony has previously co-presented, without apparent hoo-ha, with Rachel Burden, Shelagh Fogarty, Anna Foster, Eleanor Oldroyd and more. He was first paired with Clare for the odd weekend Breakfast in 2013; Tony moved to Drive in 2015, and Clare became his main partner in 2022.

Tony has been sent back to late night weekdays, whence he came. You could read a little tension into this, from over a year ago....
WimbleDrive won't be making a return this year...
