<p><strong>For the full episode, search 'Quite right!' wherever you are listening now. </strong></p><p>This week: Michael and Maddie dissect Donald Trump’s audacious raid on Venezuela and ask what it reveals about power, national interest and the unravelling of the rules-based order. Was America acting like a rogue state – or simply doing what states do when their interests are at stake? And could Britain learn a thing or two from how they conduct their foreign policy, specifically with regard to the Chagos Islands?</p><p>Then, closer to home, they unpack the scandal surrounding West Midlands Police and the banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. Who really made the call – and what does it tell us about two-tier policing and the erosion of equal justice?</p><p>And finally: are weight-loss jabs like Ozempic and Wegovy quietly reshaping society – and what will happen when the prices drop later this year?</p><p>Produced by Oscar Edmondson.</p><p>To submit your urgent questions to Michael and Maddie, visit spectator.co.uk/quiteright</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
