The Edition: BBC in crisis, the Wes Streeting plot & why 'flakes' are the worst

Join Lara Brown, Commissioning Editor at The Spectator, who delves into the BBC's culture of denial regarding bias. Arts Editor Igor Toronyi-Lalic critiques the corporation's arts coverage, while journalist Melanie McDonagh offers insights on the historical allure of Catholicism to unlikely converts. The trio also discusses the surprising Westminster coup plot and the modern phenomenon of social 'flakes'—those who back out of plans at the last minute. A blend of media analysis, cultural critique, and etiquette reflects the spirit of today.
