In-Fight Entertainment – Weekly Edition

In a heat-defying lo-fi edition, we discuss the latest blue-on-blue clashes as the race to replace Johnson comes to a head. Did a least-worst candidate emerge? We talk to guest Jamie Susskind, author of The Digital Republic: On Freedom and Democracy in the 21st Century about how to regulate the internet. And did those cosmic images from the Webb Telescope make us feel tiny and insignificant… or pretty damn important? “The debates gave me a sinking feeling of despair… It’s just a bunch of angry people talking over each other” – Jamie Susskind “The country’s entering a time of great crisis and the one thing we’re going to need is a Prime Minister with a grip.” – Jamie Susskind “We don’t count or matter in the Conservative Party leadership elections.” – Gavin Esler “It’s not a tenable position to be against net zero.
