Summary

In this welcome return of the Wednesday podcast Jacqui Smith and Iain Dale turn their beady eye on Boris Johnson’s address to the nation and ask whether the measures taken to limit the spread of Coronavirus really go far enough. They also discuss Sir Keir Starmer’s virtual Labour party conference speech, and they lighten the mood at the end with a conversation about ‘bushiness’. Graham should stop listening at approx. 30 mins. Smut Quota: High at the end.

I'm sat in my normal place.

1:01.9

I haven't actually showered and probably got up yet, I have to say.

If you can get up at half past seven on this Wednesday, you can do it every week. Yeah, right. I know normal people have to get up at half seven. Did you? I know. I did get, I got up earlier than that.

1:27.5
