95: Why London’s nightlife is dying

Last Orders - a spiked podcast

Matthew Lesh – public policy fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs and country manager for Freshwater Strategy – joins Chris Snowdon and Tom Slater for the latest episode of Last Orders. They discuss the departure of London’s ‘night tsar’, Scotland’s regressive experiment with ‘minimum pricing’ for alcohol, and the battle to open a chip shop in a Welsh seaside town.
