Customer Reviews
For question time
We hear a lot that this is the least private school educated cabinet, but what percentage of them went to selective schools (grammar schools)? Hasn’t selective school system been important for social mobility?
The rest is politics
Wonderful series. Measured, considered and respectful discussions. Fascinating, I am addicted and learning lots about our political landscape.
Original’s great…
Alistair and Rory great, interesting, informed, civil and one of my favourite podcasts. But the US version is a far cry. No nuance, nothing new that can’t be found on mainstream newspapers, though they frequently get it wrong in the details if the NY Times and the
Washington Post can be trusted. I had hoped for something better; now wouldn’t waste my time listening to Scaramouchi and Kay, who don’t even seem particularly comfortable with each other.
