And Finally…

In this week’s London Calling the talking points are: getting old, cycling accidents, the season finale of Rings of Power, Anthony Trollope’s masterpiece and whether Jeremy Hunt’s coronation is a deep state coup.

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James wishes me a happy birthday, we both worry about the approaching big six-o, I tell James about my cycling accident (which James is quite pleased about because he doesn’t like cyclists), and we go on to discuss whether Jeremy Hunt’s replacement of Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor is a deep state coup or just the inevitable consequence of the bond market reacting badly to the mini-budget. In Culture Corner, we discuss Anthony Trollope’s The Way We Live Now – which James has started reading on my recommendation – The Rings of Power and The Old Man.

“we go on to discuss whether Jeremy Hunt’s replacement of Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor is a deep state coup or just the inevitable consequence of the bond market reacting badly to the mini-budget.”

The bond market was fine with us printing/borrowing money to fund furlough and all the other useless covid related crap.
