I Make No Apology For...
Manage episode 452360141 series 3614339
Comedy writer Armando Iannucci and journalist Helen Lewis decode the utterly baffling world of political language.
This week, we get into the world of political apologies. Why does Starmer keep insisting he makes no apologies for things that no one is actually asking him to apologise for? Is saying something is 'regrettable' really an apology? And why has Mark Zuckerberg decided to stop apologising for Facebook?
Listen to Strong Message Here every Thursday at 9.45am on Radio 4 and then head straight to BBC Sounds for an extended episode.
