Summary

In the last Wednesday podcast for the time being (Saturdays continue as normal!) Jacqui Smith and Iain Dale discuss the lifting of lockdown, the Commission on race, why vaccine take up among some ethnic minorities is so low, David Cameron’s lobbying activities and Joe Biden’s dog.

And we did say right at the beginning that it would only be for lockdowns.

But I will miss it because I've really enjoyed doing the Wednesday podcast, I must admit.

1:28.1

We might return for the odd one if there's sort of really important things to discuss, I guess,

1:31.3
