38 min listen

In This Episode

This week:

First up: for the cover piece, The Spectator’s economics editor Kate Andrews has written about Britain’s mortgage timebomb, as the UK faces the sharpest interest rate hike since the 80s. In the year leading up to the general election, can the Conservatives come back from this? Kate joins us along with Liam Halligan, economics editor of GB News, Telegraph columnist and author of Home Truths – the UK’s chronic housing shortage. 

Next: Spectator journalist Toby Young has written about ‘furries’ – children identifying as animals at school. He joins us now, along with Miriam Cates MP who sits on the education select committee. (17:11)

Finally: in the arts leader this week, Robert Jackman has written about wrestling. From WWE to amateur fights, there’s a whole world out there – and it is growing in popularity. Robert joins the show along with Anthony Sinfield, a professional wrestler, also known as ‘Tony Sin’. (28:32)

Produced by Natasha Feroze.
