On this week’s podcast we reappraise the role of experts, scrutinise the chaotic papacy, and check in with the court of King Donald.
First up: In this week’s cover story, Fraser Nelson writes that the definitive quote from the referendum was one that the speaker, Michael Gove, never meant to make. In an interview with Faisal Islam, Gove was heard to claim that the British people ‘have had enough of experts’. But was that really the point that Gove was making? And, eight months on, was he actually right? Fraser joins the podcast to discuss this, along with the Spectator’s Political Editor, James Forsyth.
So who should we be listening to? As Fraser tells the podcast:
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t listen to experts, it’s just that there’s a difference between somebody who understands economics and somebody who’s able to predict the future.
