About this episode

William Moore is joined by The Spectator’s political editor Tim Shipman, commissioning editor Tali Fraser and actress Maureen Lipman. This week: has the West lost the will to defend itself? The panel discuss the threats posed by China, Russia and Islamism – and whether Western societies have become too reluctant to defend their own values. Maureen also warns about the rise of antisemitism, arguing that universities are ‘grooming’ a generation of anti-Semites. Also: Tali reports back from a screening of Chris Packham’s People’s Emergency Briefing . Has environmental campaigning become too patronising – and are politicians forcing through policies they have failed to persuade the public to support? Plus: can James Bond survive modern Britain?
