Interesting conversation with Frost.. I get the idea, from his teeth sucking, he’s resigned to an English speaking world where we are where we are for our lifetime

Interesting but is he going to stand as mp. Too late to save the useless Tories. But good interview.

Great David Frost interview Nick, asked exactly what I wanted to hear (apart from maybe WEF influence thoughts). Your William F Buckley meets Dangermouse’s Penfold style is infectious, disarming and a great listen 👍
