What this episode covers

Michael Gove and Madeline Grant launch ‘Quite right!’, the new podcast from The Spectator that promises sanity and common sense in a world that too often lacks both.In their first episode, they take stock of a political summer dominated by Nigel Farage, a Labour government already facing mutiny, and the curious spectacle of Tory MPs moonlighting as gonzo reporters.From J.D. Vance’s Cotswold sojourn and Tom Skinner’s bish bash bosh patriotism, to Sydney Sweeney’s jeans advert causing a culture war, Michael and Madeline discuss what really drives our politics: policies, or memes and vibes?Plus: Keir Starmer’s ‘phase two’ reshuffle – does it amount to more than technocratic jargon? And why has cosy crime conquered our screens, even as Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club stumbles upon its Netflix release?Produced by Oscar Edmondson, Oscar Bicket and Matt Miszczak.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
