The&nbsp;Spectator’s bumper Christmas issue is a feast for all, with offerings from Nigel Farage, Matthew McConaughey and Andrew Strauss to Dominic Sandbrook, David Deutsch and Bonnie Blue – and even from Her Majesty The Queen.To take us through the Christmas&nbsp;Edition, host Lara Prendergast is joined by deputy political editor James Heale, associate editor Damian Thompson and writer of the&nbsp;Spectator’s new morning newsletter,&nbsp;Morning Press, Angus Colwell.&nbsp;They discuss: the state of British politics as we leave 2025 behind, and who will have a worse year ahead between Kemi and Keir; what physicist David Deutsch’s enthusiasm for humanity can teach us all in the age of AI; why the Sherlock Holmes stories have maintained such enduring appeal; whether England cricket fans will be celebrating good news from Down Under; as well as the best places to visit in London at Christmastime.Plus: who does Damian think is the ‘most repugnant, left-wing extremist leader’ in British politics, and who described Bonnie Blue as the ‘Emma Hamilton of the 21st century'?Happy Christmas from The Spectator.&nbsp;Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
