I’ve listened to today’s episode. I’m very disappointed but not surprised in ACs contribution. He is clearly uncomfortable talking about Mandelson and cleverly kept turning the conversation onto US politics and other peoples dealings with Epstein

Sorry-I don’t think I can-there’s a lot of detail. Rory’s one of the Tories that get a pass from me, so I don’t mind listening to him!

I suppose hes useful in that he is consistency wrong on most things. Whatever he thinks will happen, the opposite usually happens so hes a useful reverse bellweather.

Will try and listen to him...

I will try and bear Rory Stewart but in the event I can't take it any more, any chance you can summarise the interesting bits?
