Show Notes

In a departure from our normal format Rafael Behr (host) and Philip Berman (the show's producer) agreed to press record when they met yesterday (Thursday 28 September) to discuss a new series idea for Politics on the Couch.


And this podcast is the end result, instead of a meta-cast talking about what we could talk about this Autumn, it's more of a casual ramble around Phil's break from Twitter, his despair about the state of political discourse and Raf's one-stop solution for all.


Topics covered (in no order of importance):


Twitter

Laurence Fox

GB News

Sunak's postion on net zero

The mood in Westminster

State capture

Democratic back-sliding

The preface to the paperback version of Rafael's new book.
