  • Inconsistent Journalism

    I interact with media across the political spectrum - both sides have pros and cons. Unfortunately a few reoccurring guest on this pod are either deliberately spreading misinformation or not doing their due diligence before speaking?

  • Tim Shipman unleashed

    I enjoy the podcast, but better without Tim Shipman - head over heels in love with Reform, and in the most recent podcast quite unhinged in his appraisal of how Trump’s getting his agenda through. If this is what happens when you write tens of thousands of words about politics after Brexit, be warned all writers should stick to short form twitter and bluesky.

  • Tim and James are great

    Not thrilled about the introduction of ads given it’s such a short listen but hey go. Please remember to turn down the music at the end otherwise it abruptly ends in a somewhat amateurish fashion 😆

  • Too Insipid

    I have just listened to the ‘Confessions of New Labour Intake’ episode. It seems that The Spectator team see themselves as being part of the parliamentary furniture as opposed to being journalists. The conversation was insipid and, as far as I could tell, without challenge. I don’t know what was more depressing: the Labour MP’s misplaced optimism or The Spectator team’s polite deference.

Will Mandelson bring down McSweeney?

It's one of the essential relationships of this political project, and it long predates Mandelson's appointment to the ambassadorship.
