The podcast returns with a look back to a summer in which the government managed the unprecedented feat of collapsing for a second time. The political parties’ manifestos are dominated by the issues of housing, immigration and how to sweep up the NSC vote. The brutal murder of a 17-year-old girl in Amsterdam becomes fodder for the far right when an asylum seeker is accused of the crime. Vitesse Arnhem are given another reprieve in the long-running saga of their imminent decline. A painting looted by the Nazis turns up on an estate agent’s website in Argentina. And we explain why if you’re listening to this podcast on your lunch break, you’re probably not in Belgium.
