The Palace of Westminster is falling down

Nicholas Boys Smith joins The Critic Show to discuss architecture

The creaking edifice of British politics, without urgent intervention, is about to come crashing down. But enough about the Labour party  the Palace of Westminster is in a state of disrepair, and the cost of restoration is projected in the multiple billions. Why? And why can’t we seem to get architecture right in this country anymore?

In this week’s episode of The Critic Show, Tom Jones is joined by author, researcher, campaigner and Critic contributor Nicholas Boys Smith MBE.
