Am I a 'spiteful class warrior' too!? – Kemi vs Bridget 

Am I a 'spiteful class warrior' too!? – Kemi vs Bridget 

In this week’s Q&A: as Bridget Phillipson and Kemi Badenoch clash over Labour’s education policy, Michael asks whether he is a ‘spiteful class warrior’ too. He has written before about his scepticism over the charitable status of some of the country’s elite academic institutions, arguing that they should do more to earn it – but does he regret his comments?

Also this week: as Britain edges closer to life under Burnham, Michael and Maddie discuss who is really pulling the strings behind the famous black door. What is a chief of staff: a vital part of the machinery of government, or a civil servant with an inflated sense of importance?

Plus: Ken, Boris or Sadiq – who will be remembered as the best mayor of London?

Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
