Mark the Week: We love travel, even in a cost-of-living crisis
Listen now
Description
At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.    The school holidays: 7/10 760,000 will fly these next two weeks, which doesn’t include the thousands who have already flown from private school, which doesn’t include the thousands who drive. We love travel, even in a cost-of-living crisis.    Joe Biden: 1/10  Debates rarely turn out much but this time last week the world changed. Deciding to stay is a massive mistake his party will pay a price for.    Rishi Sunak: 4/10  Worked hard to limit the damage, but is the classic victim of the bloke who came along at the end of the chain and is there when the hammer goes down.    Emmanuel Macron: 2/10  Idiotic move of the year. The Tories were always going to get smashed but the Europe vote didn’t need to lead to what he then did. And this Sunday he will see how bad that mistake was.    Newshub: 4/10  It's been dragged out too long with far too much gnashing and wailing from people who still think they are a mile more important than they are. The fact is they couldn’t get an audience to attract the ads to pay the bills. You monetise or die. But less media is not good so ultimately we are all losers.    The All Blacks: 7/10 The first test is always full of anticipation and England are a good way to start as we welcome in the Razor years.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
