At a drinks party in around 2011 or 2012, I had the ear of Andrew Feldman, aka Baron Feldman of Elstree, former Chairman of the Conservative Party—he of “swivel-eyed loons” fame, though he never actually said that. (Andrew is a friend, by the way.) “Tell George Osborne to buy back the gold Gordon Brown sold,” I advised. “At these prices?” smiled An…

While Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, like a jilted boyfriend turned desperado, is announcing a new policy every day, future Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s strategy has been to be as vague and non-committal as possible about everything, and get elected on the back of the Tories being so useless. It makes sense: the less he promises now, and the less spe…

In today’s episode, we spoke with Ronnie Grob, who’s the editor-in-chief of Schweizer Monat. Ronnie’s a journalist who discovered Bitcoin because it seemed too good to be true.

I am experimenting again with a video this Sunday morning. (Podcast listeners can still get just the audio). Enjoy :) It was August 2018.

A slightly-longer Sunday morning thought piece than usual today, but one that is well worth the effort I hope you’ll discover.

I love how easy it is to predict things about you based on what you like or dislike. Did you know, for example, that if you buy fresh fennel, you are likely to be a low insurance risk?

I have a friend from school who is obviously gay. We’ve all known it for a long time, yet, for whatever reason, he has never been able to come out. He has never been able to admit to himself what is so apparent to everyone else. He’s miserable. Has been for years. I’m not sure if I were gay, if I would be able to come out. I have actually tried to …
