Quite right! – Labour’s deputy drama, Macron’s mess & was Thatcher autistic?
Description
Michael Gove and Madeline Grant return with another episode of Quite right!, The Spectator’s new podcast promising sanity and common sense in an increasingly unhinged world.
This week, they dissect Keir Starmer’s brutal reshuffle – from the ‘volcanic ejection’ of Angela Rayner to the rise of Shabana Mahmood, the ‘uncompromising toughie’ now in charge of the Home Office. What do these moves reveal about the Labour party’s deepest fears on crime and migration?
Across the Channel, Emmanuel Macron faces yet another political crisis, as France lurches towards its fifth prime minister in two years. Is Britain now drifting into its own pre-revolutionary mood – and becoming ‘France 2.0’?
And finally, a new biography of Margaret Thatcher makes the startling claim that she was autistic. Michael and Madeline ask: why must every figure from history be retroactively diagnosed as ‘neurodiverse’?
Produced by Oscar Edmondson, Oscar Bicket and Matt Miszczak.
