About this episode
Trump and the right wing press are gleefully hounding the BBC over a clumsy speech edit – will they succeed in taking down the broadcaster? Plus, manifesto promises – there’s a huge fuss over Labour potentially breaking them, but is that anything new? And in the extra bit for supporters – reasons to be a Luddite! The panel rallies against smart technology.  • Rachel suggests Fergus Butler-Gallie’s book Touching Cloth  • Jonn recommends Fergus Craig’s upcoming book I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home  • Marie is reading New Boy by William Sutcliffe  When you buy books through our affiliate bookshop you help fund OGWN by earning us a small commission for every sale.
