Blighty not frighty
Listen now
Description
The lockdown rules are changing and Telegraph columnists Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan aren't happy about it. On today's show, Allison asks what on earth happened to the country's "Blighty not frighty" spirit, Liam chastises Matt Hancock for his doom laden language, plus, they deliberate the three Bs - Brexit, the backstop and Brad Pitt. Also on the podcast: this week’s guest and former Supreme Court judge Lord Jonathan Sumption pulls on his space boots and tells Planet Normal listeners why he thinks the government is trying to avoid public scrutiny and why he believes Extinction Rebellion is "verging on facism".
