Summary
Topics include: The fallout from Piers Morgan's unceremonious exit from Good Morning Britain and ITV's handling of the situation, why Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview has to be allowed to be questioned, the Russian-designed new briefing room at Number 10, Allegra Stratton, a bus load of cash for a load of new buses, Dame Jenny Murray, political point-scoring from the ever-hapless EU over the vaccine rollout, holidays in Scotland, overnight stays at airport hotels, the notion of policemen patrolling nightclubs, and a quick word on Fulham FC. It's the podcast which gets to the point - it's the Thought Police.
