A protégé of my late uncle Christopher Booker, the journalist James Delingpole and I have just recorded an almost 2 hour podcast covering a wide range of issues. I shall send you the link when it goes live. The really big news is that James is going to join the speaker line up at Sharestock on 6 September here by the River Dee between Chester and Wrexham. His theme?

My friend Andrew Bell explains in this podcast he has recorded exclusively for me why Foreign Secretary David Lammy and PM Sir Keir Starmer are either economic illiterates or liars or both. The Chagos sell out is a national scandal and you have been misled and seemingly nobody on Fleet Street is bright enough to read the Government’s own papers and do the actual maths. Bell has done the MSM’s job for it. Enjoy.
