Smoking bans, a crackdown on junk food, state-sanctioned fat-shaming… it’s been a miserable few weeks in Keir Starmer’s Britain. In the latest episode of Last Orders, Chris Snowdon and Tom Slater discuss Labour’s zealous embrace of public-health paternalism – and whether or not it’s time for Chris to emigrate.  Don’t miss our upcoming live episode at the Battle of Ideas festival.
