Press Review 19 | Putin's capacity to withstand sanctions | New Zealand and Covid

Reaction Press Review, the show where Reaction editors discuss the best stories, writing, podcasts and videos that have caught their attention in the last week. This week on episode 19, Iain Martin is joined by Mattie Brignal and Alastair Benn.
They discuss whether the West has underestimated Vladimir Putin's capacity to withstand sanctions, whether New Zealand will ever move on from Covid, and how Boris et al have taken us all for fools, as well as earbuds, Jacques Rueff’s quest for monetary order, and the wonders of Essex.

Very enjoyable, however I have to correct you on one thing - there is no Gregg's in Saffron Walden, we have Dorringtons, a far superior provider of baked fast foods
