The hacking of adultery website Ashley Madison has raised the question of whether there is such a thing as privacy online. On this View from 22 podcast, Hugo Rifkind discusses this week’s Spectator cover feature with Van Badham from the Guardian Australia. Should the 37 million users of Ashley Madison be surprised that their details may be leaked? Should all internet users accept that their personal details may be hacked? And does having an anonymous online profile make us do things we wouldn’t consider otherwise?
James Forsyth and Isabel Hardman also look at the first Parliamentary session since the election and how each of the parties have faired. Have the SNP MPs been their own worst enemies and will their behaviour and record in office actually help the Tories? And how will the next Labour leader deal with a party that is split and looking to have a much louder left-wing presence?
Plus, Jonathan Fenby discusses the revival of François Hollande and how the maligned French president could still win the next election? If the right remains split in the next election, will the country overlook his personal problems to re-elect Hollande?
