Listen Later

Fraser Nelson, The Spectator’s editor, speaks to Louise Perry, author of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, about why it should be harder to divorce. Elsewhere on the the show, Spectator contributor Christopher Howse discusses the monarchy with our political editor James Forsyth. Cindy Yu, host of our Chinese Whispers podcast, says China hasn’t changed all that much since the Tiananmen Square protests 30 years ago. Former consultant J. Meirion Thomas tells Fraser why GP surgeries are in crisis. Historians Antony Beevor and Serhii Plokhy talk about why Putin might yet win in Ukraine.
