    The Great ‘Comms’ Con | Felix Hardinge – The Sceptic Ep.67

    The downfall of Mandelson and McSweeney, the scourge of Westminster ‘comms’ brain and why Blue Labour was always fake. In Episode 67 of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell speaks to Felix Hardinge, a writer and cultural critic who works in financial services. Laurie and Felix discuss the defenestration of Peter Mandelson and what his elevation to US ambassador in the first place says about Keir Starmer; his departed chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and whether his ‘Blue Labour’ politics really existed; why Starmer’s crackdown on the riots is what killed it off; why the PM is so uniquely hated – and why the Right would be worse off if he resigned; plus The Thick of It and how it convinced a generation of politicos that politics is really just media management, and why what the country really needs is ‘reheated Thatcherism’.

    The Stakeholder State | David Frost – The Sceptic Ep.65

    David Frost on the never-ending scourge of New Labour’s “stakeholder” revolution – and why Britain must reclaim free-market thinking. In Episode 65 of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell speaks to David Frost. David Frost, Lord Frost of Allenton, is a former diplomat and was the chief Brexit negotiator under Boris Johnson. He is a columnist at the Daily Telegraph and is now a non-aligned peer and the Director-General of the Institute of Economic Affairs. Laurie and David discuss David’s plans at the IEA and why the case for free-market thinking is more important than ever; the “Stakeholder State” and why it stops governments from doing anything; why it didn’t come about by accident but rather was built by New Labour; why those complaining about “division” and “populism” really just hate democracy; why the claim that free markets are bad for “communities” is nonsense; the tyranny of “independent” experts; why consensus isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and why sometimes, the best thing is for the state to just get out of way.
