NS#243: Scandal Overload

The New Statesman podcast with Helen Lewis and Anoosh Chakelian.

By New Statesman

Helen and Anoosh discuss the extraordinary pile up of scandals in Westminster, from Priti Patel and Boris Johnson’s foreign affairs gaffes to the continuing fallout from the sexual harassment allegations in Parliament. Then they find some glimmers of hope in the latest expert views on Brexit, and finally, they answer a listener question: why does nobody care about the Paradise Papers?
