The Two Matts

Europopulism, state-funded snappers and the UK's Fox News


Listen Later

Richard Porritt and Steve Anglesey return to shine a light on another week in politics.

The pair discuss the success of the vaccine roll-out and the timing of an independent inquiry, the launch of Andrew Neil's GB News, summer holiday plans and the government's army of state-funded snappers.

They are joined by journalist, author and political commentator Nick Cohen to talk about whether recent missteps by the EU have opened the door to a rise in populism in Europe.

Plus more entrants are inducted into the Hall of Shame.

Produced by Matt Withers
