The Lead Digest: Pete Hegseth, housing and why you should probably just have a pint

Our round-up by The Lead’s team of what we’ve been reading, listening to, scrolling and watching each week.

Here at The Lead, we like to consume just as much as we create, which is why we spend a little time each week rounding up our favourite stories, books, podcasts and films we’ve been enjoying.

With Natalie on honeymoon and work back in full swing, this week’s is a little shorter than last — but you can still get a taste of the work informing our world.
