The RuffianNEW PODCAST: Helen Thompson on Britain's Next CrisisThere is a growing sense that Britain's fiscal position is unsustainable. We’re spending more than we’re raising in tax, our debt is growing faster than the economy, and bond market scepticism about the government’s ability to fix any of this is driving up our interest payments.We may be heading for a crisis that will make Liz Truss’s mini-budget debacle look like a minor wobble. It would cause a lot of economic harm. It could also force us to rethink our priorities, as happened in the wake of the IMF bailout crisis in 1976. In order...2025-07-2239 min

The Beatlology Interviews"John & Paul" Author Ian LeslieIan Leslie has written a new book titled “John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs” where he puts forth a fascinating premise: That John and Paul communicated to each other via song lyrics - during the Beatles years. Leslie says that Lennon and McCartney was an intense relationship, but while they wrote incredible songs together, they were unable to communicate their deep friendship to each other - so they camouflaged those feelings in songs. It’s a terrific read. Here’s a link to purchase the book. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.2025-04-0841 min
