The Spectator ’s bumper Christmas issue is a feast for all, with offerings from Nigel Farage, Matthew McConaughey and Andrew Strauss to Dominic Sandbrook, David Deutsch and Bonnie Blue – and even from Her Majesty The Queen. To take us through the Christmas Edition , host Lara Prendergast is joined by deputy political editor James Heale, associate editor Damian Thompson and writer of the Spectator ’s new morning newsletter, Morning Press , Angus Colwell. They discuss: the state of British politics as we leave 2025 behind, and who will have a worse year ahead between Kemi and Keir; what physicist David Deutsch’s enthusiasm for humanity can teach us all in the age of AI; why the Sherlock Holmes stories have maintained such enduring appeal; whether England cricket fans will be celebrating good news from Down Under; as well as the best places to visit in London at Christmastime. Plus: who does Damian think is the ‘most repugnant, left-wing extremist leader’ in British politics, and who described Bonnie Blue as the ‘Emma Hamilton of the 21st century'? Happy Christmas from The Spectator . Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts. Go to spectator.co.uk/adfree to find out more.
