Episode notes

Just Stop Oil said tomato soup is an illusion to Britain's high cost of living. Is there any way to look at these protests as art themselves, or is that a bridge too far for you? There's no doubt that many artists are radical. Artists are supposed to be radical. And I think we should leave things in our museums alone for the most part.

Tensions are simmering in London as climate protesters turn up the heat on their soup-flinging activism. Rishi Sunak’s government is attempting to keep the situation from boiling over.

This episode was produced by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
