The View from 22 — the new God squad, Labour’s campaigning quandary and the secrets to a successful marriage

Are Lambeth Palace and the Vatican about to undergo a significant transformation in how they operate and present themselves in public? On the latest View from 22 podcast, the Telegraph’s Damian Thompson explains how the evangelicals are taking over both the Catholic and Church of England, which will result in a dynamic shift in how they are viewed by the outside world. He also examines the similarities surrounding the appointment of both Pope Francis and Archbishop Welby.

James Forsyth also discusses the problems Labour face on running their general election campaign, and why David Cameron has won a major concession on the EU referendum bill. With the resignation of Tom Watson today as campaign co-ordinate, who will run Labour’s 2015 campaign? Plus, Freddy Gray and Mary Wakefield discuss whether James Delingpole is right on the secrets of a successful marriage. Should men be treated more like dogs, or should women be more respectful towards the opposite sex?
