Show Notes

<p>Michael Gove and Madeline Grant launch ‘Quite right!’, the new podcast from <em>The Spectator</em> that promises sanity and common sense in a world that too often lacks both.</p><p>In their first episode, they take stock of a political summer dominated by Nigel Farage, a Labour government already facing mutiny, and the curious spectacle of Tory MPs moonlighting as gonzo reporters.</p><p>From J.D. Vance’s Cotswold sojourn and Tom Skinner’s bish bash bosh patriotism, to Sydney Sweeney’s jeans advert causing a culture war, Michael and Madeline discuss what really drives our politics: policies, or memes and vibes?</p><p>Plus: Keir Starmer’s ‘phase two’ reshuffle – does it amount to more than technocratic jargon? And why has cosy crime conquered our screens, even as Richard Osman’s <em>The Thursday Murder Club</em> stumbles upon its Netflix release?</p><p>Produced by Oscar Edmondson, Oscar Bicket and Matt Miszczak.</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
