VACCINE PASSPORTS

This week, vaccine passports made a comeback— perhaps they never really went away — and now Britain is struggling to cope with the ‘pingdemic’, as the NHS app forces hundreds of thousands of people to isolate every week. Has the government lost the plot? Kate Andrews and Mark Walport will be on the show to discuss.

IS BRITAIN BORING?

And maybe it’s not just the government that’s forgotten what freedom means. Douglas Murray comes on to discuss the British public’s strange loathing for the idea of anybody having fun.

SOCIAL CARE

Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer and health secretary Sajid Javid are all isolating during what’s meant to be party week in Westminster. Katy Balls and James Forsyth will give us the latest with a politics update.

AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL

We will then turn to Afghanistan. Is the West right to leave? Andrew Cockburn thinks so, and he’ll speak to Tom Tugendhat, who disagrees.

SWANKY CAR

And finally, The Spectator’s literary editor Sam Leith had his surprisingly swanky keyless car stolen last week. We discuss the rise of convenience technology and the decline of western civilisation.
