Vintage Politics

This week on Vintage Politics, former Chancellor George Osborne joins me for a conversation about the highs and lows of his political career, Britain’s decision to leave the EU, and why he’s optimistic about AI. He also explains why the Bayeux Tapestry matters and how he helped bring it to the British Museum. All this and wines from Old World Europe and a very special vintage Barolo.

Anthony Scaramucci joins Vintage Politics to talk about his new book All the Wrong Moves, where America went wrong, why Trumpism took hold and what happens next.

He talks Trump, the future of the Republican Party, whether he could ever return to public life, and those infamous 11 days in the White House.

In the glass: an alcohol free orange wine, an American Pinot Noir and a remarkable 1964 Barolo.
