Summary

Pageantry, pomp and poignancy have flowed in abundance since the Queen's death, while mourning has put democracy on ice. The panel unpacks the nation’s reaction – and tries to decipher what it all really means. Plus, the latest from the Ukraine counter-offensive, as it firmly appears the tide is turning against Russia. “We rarely knew The Queen’s feelings on anything, a tough act for Charles to follow.” – Arthur Snell “There has been a lot of self-policing, but as far as I can tell there has been very little McCarthyism around The Queen’s death.” – Marie Le Conte “Truss’s speech about The Queen was really bad, but I have sympathy for her.” – Marie Le Conte “Russia has had a terrible war, it’s a war they can’t even admit they’re in.” – Arthur Snell Presented by Ros Taylor with Arthur Snell, Justin Quirk and Marie Le Conte. Producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic . Assistant producer Kasia Tomasiewicz. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. Lead producer: Jacob Jarvis.
