Smoking bans, a crackdown on junk food, state-sanctioned fat-shaming… it’s been a miserable few weeks in Keir Starmer’s Britain. In the latest episode of Last Orders, Chris Snowdon and Tom Slater discuss Labour’s zealous embrace of public-health paternalism – and whether or not it’s time for Chris to emigrate. Don’t miss our upcoming live episode at the Battle of Ideas festival. Chris and Tom will be joined by some very special guests in Westminster on Saturday 19 October.
