This podcast is sponsored by Berry Bros, The Spectator’s house red.
In this week’s episode of the Spectator Podcast, Isabel Hardman is joined by Douglas Murray and Haras Rafiq, managing director for the Quilliam Foundation, to discuss the Brussels attacks. ‘In the wake of a terrorist attack, everything barely worth saying will be said endlessly. And the only things that are worth saying won’t be said,’ said Douglas, writing for The Spectator after the attacks. So what can be said? And what can be done to stop Isis striking again?
In his cover story this week, James Forsyth looks at the Conservative crack-up. No one does political violence quite like the Tories, and the past week has been particularly vicious, after Iain Duncan Smith resigned from his position as Work and Pensions Secretary. James and Fraser Nelson join Isabel to discuss whether David Cameron can restore peace within his party.
And finally, should feminists back Brexit? In this week’s magazine, Julie Burchill says that Britain is trapped in a bad marriage with the EU. Any feminist worth her salt would see that and vote to leave. Caroline Lucas, Green party MP for Brighton Pavilion, and Anne Cremin, a member of Liberal Leave and Women for Britain, join the podcast to discuss whether Brexit would be good – or bad – for British women.
