On this week’s episode, Peter wants to know if the government really going to strip Andrew of his Falkland campaign medals and, in the light of this week’s attack, Sarah will be asking what kind of security do our transport systems need to make us feel safe?

Plus, don’t get them started on parking permit portals, underwired bras, and the awfulness of some architects, but do ask them what historical biographies you should read.

·      The Deluge – Adam Tooze

·      All The King’s Men – Robert Penn Warren

·      Young Stalin - Simon Sebag Montefiore
