Risible Renters’ Act and Disguised Privilege

On this week’s episode, as Sarah is ousted from her rental home, she’s asking why Labour’s so-called revolutionary renters’ act is such a damp squib and, staying with the left, Peter wants to know why this government hates independent schools so much.And the pair pore over our latest mailbag to reflect once again on the madness of King Donald and his presidential predecessor, ponder whether the Germans could have ever really won the last world war. The best and worst nationalities to try and befriend, and Sarah and Peter give their guide to Italy’s lesser-known gems.On our reading and watch list this week: ·      The Uses of Literacy – Richard Hoggart·      The Wages of Destruction – Adam Tooze·      The Second World War – James Holland·      The Winds of War – Herman Wouk·      War and Remembrance - Herman WoukPlease do get in touch, email: [email protected] you can leave a comment on Spotify or even send us a voice note on Whatsapp – on 07796 657512, start your message with the word ‘alas’. Presenters: Sarah Vine & Peter HitchensProducer: Philip WildingEditor: Chelsey MooreProduction Manager: Vittoria CecchiniExecutive Producer: Jamie East A Daily Mail production.
