Being a Christian in Britain today is to invite pity or condescension, writes Michael Gove in this week’s cover piece. Why is that, and what is the future of Christianity in Britain? Michael Gove joined Isabel Hardman and Ken Costa, the Chairman of Alpha International, on this week’s View from 22 podcast, to discuss the issue. Has there always been this much suspicion of Christians, or is this a more recent phenomenon?
James Forsyth and Fraser Nelson also joined Isabel Hardman to talk about this week’s leading article. In it, The Spectator argues that the Tory campaign so far has lacked passion. The Conservatives ought by all accounts to be winning in the polls; but Cameron is seriously struggling. So what has gone wrong? James Forsyth thinks that Cameron needs to make clear to the voters the Britain that he wants to build, while Fraser says that equating being Prime Minister to eating another bowl of shredded wheat isn’t exactly inspirational stuff.
