  • The Rest is Compromise
    Oct 18 2024

    Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time:
    - Archbishop of Canterbury in car-crash "gay sex" interview with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart.
    - More on assisted dying as Kim Leadbeater brings bill before Parliament.
    - Scottish Government says no talking about abortion in private homes within safety zones.
    - University of Nottingham puts trigger warning on The Canterbury Tales for being influenced by Christianity.
    - And Russell Brand sells magic amulets on TikTok.
    That and probably a bit more as ever.
