I feel more intelligent every time I listen to this podcast, it’s great to hear from people who have so much credibility, and who have obviously operated at the highest levels in global Geopolitics
Unsettling, scary, very insightful and intelligent. Thank you Sir Richard and the amazing commentators
Whilst I am not a Conservative voter I have always had a lot of time for Jeremy & this interview just confirmed my opinion.

Good show with interesting content spoiled by Sir Richard Dearlove interjecting his politics into the dialogue and in particular on Brexit. It’s ironic that a former intelligence chief supports, as becomes ever clearer, one of the most unintelligent acts ever to befall Britain.
