Show Notes
In the wake of Rupert Murdoch's retirement, David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss a tale of two successions and how the fates of one of the world’s biggest media dynasties and the Royal Family became paradoxically intertwined.
They look at the latest fan-hitting moment for Britain’s HS2 project, which could mean the end of the line for northerners.
And “your old meter could catch fire” – why British Gas might be regretting its latest email to customers.
