Fraser Nelson: governments should never own our press

<div>NHS consultants have (narrowly) rejected another pay increase offered to them by the government. They will not immediately go back on strike, and will instead negotiate further with the government. Kate Andrews takes us through the details. <br><br>Also on the podcast, Fraser Nelson responds to <em>Spectator</em> chairman Andrew Neil's comments on BBC's Newsnight last night, on the potential sale of our magazine to UAE-backed RedBird IMI. <br><br>Produced and presented by Max Jeffery. </div><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
