12. Does the British Establishment have our best interests at heart? With Marina Hyde

The British Establishment: benevolent leaders who want the very best for their subjects? Or egotistical, power-hungry maniacs who want nothing more than status and authority? This is what James and Jol are asking in this week’s episode. (No points awarded for guessing Jol’s point of view…) And who better to join them than premier columnist Marina Hyde, who’s been more or less seeking the answer to this very question in her Guardian articles over the past 20 years. Expect to hear Marina’s withering takes on Boris Johnson, the Westminster Bubble, the government’s response to Covid, and much more. Marina Hyde’s new book What Just Happened?! Dispatches from Turbulent Times is out on October 6th. Once a week with us not enough? Join us in the Tier 4 Platinum circle.
