This week: Peerless – the purge of the hereditary peersFor this week's cover, Charles Moore declares that the hereditary principle in Parliament is dead. Even though he lacks ‘a New Model Army' to enforce the chamber's full abolition, Keir Starmer is removing the hereditary peers. In doing so, he creates more room, reduces the Conservatives' numerical advantage, and improves ‘the sex and ethnic balance'. But 86 hard-working and dutiful peers ‘lacking worldly ambition or partisan passions' will be lost.Also in the magazine, Sophia Falkner, researcher at The Spectator, sets out exactly what we stand to lose by profiling some of the most capable hereditary peers in the House. She warns that Labour's purge is ripping the heart out of the Lords. Sophia and Charles spoke to Natasha Feroze earlier this week on Spectator TV – you can also hear their discussion on the podcast. (01:10)Next: Why should the hunt for the next Archbishop of Canterbury be ‘inclusive'?That's the question Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie asks in the magazine this week. ‘It will be a miracle,' writes Butler-Gallie, ‘if we know the name of the new Primate of All England by the autumn.' Justin Welby announced his resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury last November; it took until May this year even to assemble the committee to discuss his potential successors.For Butler-Gallie, the process doesn't have to be swift – it only has to be ‘holy'. To discuss what exactly constitutes a ‘holy process' – and what this drawn-out process says about the Church – he joined us alongside Esme Partridge, journalist and master's student in philosophy and religion at Cambridge University. (18:57)Finally: Does AI belong on the tennis court?Patrick Kidd writes in the magazine about the creep of AI spoiling sport, following a high-profile incident during this week's Wimbledon tournament in which the AI system stands accused of ‘human error'. To discuss, Kidd was joined by Dr Tom Webb, founder of the Referee and Sports Official Research Network. (34:16)Hosted by William Moore and Gus CarterProduced by Oscar Edmondson and Ed Harvey

Once the pinnacle of European club rugby, the Investec Champions Cup is struggling to maintain its former prestige. In a discussion on the BizNews Rugby Show, analyst Tim Cocker from Eggchasers Rugby sat down with BizNews Rugby insider Rory Steyn and co-host Patrick Kidd to dissect the tournament's decline. Cocker argues that constant format changes have diluted the competition, making it harder for fans to engage. Meanwhile, teams that barely qualify are making it into the knockout stages, undermining the elite nature of the event. With South African teams failing to make the Round of 16 despite their success in the URC, questions arise about the tournament's structure and its ability to deliver top-tier rugby. Could a return to a streamlined, high-stakes qualification system—where only the best truly compete—revive the Cup's allure? And with sponsors now backing a devalued product, is it time for a radical rethink?

This week: Veep show: who will Trump pick for his running mate? Freddy Gray goes through the contenders – and what they say about America (and its most likely next president). ‘Another thought might be buzzing around Trump's head: he can pick pretty much whoever he wants because really it's all about him. He might even choose one of his children: Ivanka or Donald Junior. What could sound better than Trump-Trump 2024?' Freddy joins the podcast. (02:10) Next: Will and Lara take us through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine, including David Shipley's piece on the issues in the criminal justice system and Patrick Kidd's article on the C of E's volunteering crisis. Then: Everest. This year marks 100 years since George Mallory's doomed expedition. On the 8th June 1924 George Mallory and his climbing partner Sandy Irvine were seen through binoculars 800 ft from the summit of Mount Everest, but sadly were never seen again. Whether they did reach the top – almost 30 years prior to Edmund Hillary's confirmed summit – has been the source of debate and myth for a century. Two new books will be released this year revisiting the attempt, and the man behind them. One by former political editor at the Sun, Tom Newton Dunn (great nephew of Mallory) and the other by mountaineer Mick Conefrey – which is reviewed this week in The Spectator. Tom and Mick joined the podcast to discuss. (17:51) And finally: Next week marks the anniversary of the death of Spectator's Low Life columnist Jeremy Clarke. And on Tuesday a new collection of his columns is being published: Low Life: The Final Years. The book begins with his cancer diagnosis in 2013 and goes up until his last column, published two weeks before his death last year. Regular readers will know that Jeremy's genius was to capture the beauty and absurdity of the everyday – he chronicled it all with extraordinary frankness and brilliant wit. And so to remember Jeremy, and his peerless writing, we were joined by his widow, the artist Catriona Olding, who writes a guest Life column in this week's magazine, and his friend Con Coughlin, defence editor at the Telegraph. (33:35) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson. If readers would like to buy Low Life: The Final Years, copies are available on the Spectator Shop - go to spectator.co.uk/shop.

John Steenhuisen, leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the opening keynote speaker at BNC#6, delivered a very simple message to delegates and attendees. It's the Multi-party Charter (MPC) versus the "Doomsday Coalition" of the ANC, EFF and MK party in South Africa's 2024 election. Steenhuisen highlighted the great work done and progress made by other MPC parties, lauding the IFP's recent manifesto launch, and emphasised the collaborative spirit of the MPC. But he also warned of the dire consequences of a "Doomsday Coalition" national government, citing the crisis in Knysna as a key example. The DA leader concluded his speech with a rallying call to vote against the "corrupt, maladministrators, crooks and cadres" and for the unity and good governance of the MPC. Steenhuisen's closing words, "On the 29th of May, vote soberly and vote like your life depends on it, because in this election it really does," underscore the watershed nature of South Africa's 2024 elections. - Patrick Kidd
