In today’s episode David and Helen Thompson explore the tortured relationship between Peter Mandelson and the New Labour project that he helped to create and now seems finally to have destroyed. How has the whole history of New Labour been shaped by its origin in ideas of betrayal? Why did Tony Blair and Gordon Brown both end up depending on Mandelson while despairing of each other? What held their relationships together and what caused them to fall apart?
Out tomorrow on PPF+: the second part of this conversation in which David and Helen bring the story up to the present: how does the drama ultimately end? To get this and all our bonus episodes plus ad-free listening sign up to PPF+ now https://www.ppfideas.com/join-ppf-plus

Como se faz um romance? Neste episódio, a colunista do 451 MHz Bruna Beber entrevista a escritora Natércia Pontes, que revela como a recolha de palavras, imagens e histórias ao longo do tempo deu origem a Vida Doçura (Companhia das Letras), seu novo romance. Na conversa, a autora conta que a escrita fragmentada do livro é fruto da combinação de vários elementos, entre eles a relação obsessiva da protagonista Jocasta, uma escritora, com a youtuber Jovana, o luto pela perda da mãe e o desejo de escrever um thriller. A convidada ainda fala da mistura de ficção e realidade, da influência de roqueiros como Jeff Buckley e Kurt Cobain e da tragicomédia que permeia sua escrita.
