London Calling

In this week's London Calling, the main topic is the extraordinary coincidence of three figures who’ve dominated politics for a decade suffering reversals of fortune in one week: Trump, Boris and Sturgeon.

In this week’s episode of London Calling, James Delingpole and I discuss the first performance of the Lockdown Files Live on Saturday night (you can purchase tickets for Tuesday night’s performance here); whether more fans of London Calling come up to him and puzzle over why I haven’t bought into James’s conspiracy theories than come up to me and say, “Is James alright? I’m worried about him”; my claim on the Weekly Sceptic podcast that James believes in a British version of the Q-Anon conspiracy theory (he says he doesn’t); the extraordinary coincidence of three figures who’ve dominated British and American politics for the last 10 years suffering major reversals of fortune in one week, with Trump being indicted, Boris being hounded out of Parliament and Nicola Sturgeon being arrested; the shark attack in Egypt; and, in Culture Corner, Patriots, a new play which we both saw and enjoyed last week, as well as the final episode of Succession, and Bloodhounds, a new South Korean series on Netflix.

You can listen to the podcast here and subscribe on iTunes here.

Stop Press: For an amusing take on the fall of Boris, see this video from Politics Joe. The usual sophomoric, anti-Tory stuff, but for once quite funny.
