Let me know what you think. We have more great episodes already ‘in the can’, and lots in the diary too.
Kind regards,

It's a great interview and David Frost speaks so well and broadly. As to wokeness I think it is proportional to a mix of government interference, higher taxes and lower growth. Essentially, high taxes and a sclerotic real economy make being being a rentier or crony relatively much more attractive. I still think DF is operating in his comfort zone, he talks about wanting to change the Tory party but out of 300+ Tory MP's how many are actual conservatives? 30-40? Is that really enough? The most impactful move DF could make would be to leave the Tory party and join a challenger party like Reform....taking as much of his experience and knowledge about political workings with him.
Excellent interview with Lord Frost Nick really interesting and surprisingly candid. Thanks to both of you.
