Interchangeability



Fascinating discussion on populism on Evan Davis's PM tonight. We had a right-leaning commentator Danny Finkelstein of The Times and a left-leaning commentator Jonathan Freedland of The Guardian, both of whom agreed with each other and said much the same thing.  Had the programme hired actors to voice their parts and got the actors to sound as alike as humanly possible they could have hardly have given a great impression of two voices speaking as one as we got here. Neither are fans of Donald Trump or populism, surprise, surprise.
