The Love Again singer expands her media empire with this new podcast. Plus, an astonishing cast of ex-MPs line up to see what might happen if Russia declared war against the UK
Not content with her Service95 newsletter and At Your Service podcast, the star expands her media empire. But don’t expect a vanity project: Lipa’s first guest is Jennifer Clement, author of the haunting Widow Basquiat, on the love affair between artist Jean-Michel and his muse Suzanne Mallouk.

It’s certainly educational, if less thrilling than you might expect. Alexi Duggins
