The Queen’s funeral is tonight but the coverage, of course, has already started. Lots of attention has been turned to whether this event is healing rifts in the royal family. But do rituals of grief, like funerals, bring families together, or exacerbate existing rifts? 

We’ve talked about quiet quitting on this podcast before in the context of work… but is it possible to quietly quit a relationship?

And there are no white men on the front bench of Liz Truss's cabinet, but not everyone is happy about it.
