'I SENT BACK my HONOUR'

The monarchy has spent decades entrenching itself within the British media and political classes. That's part of the reason why we don't have an elected head of state.

In the second episode of Republic's new podcast From Below the Balcony, Graham Smith and Abby Tarttelin talk to author and journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, about the relationship between the crown, media and our politics and why she returned her MBE.
