Summary

Mike and Matt are in your ears once again to run the rule over the latest news. Topics today include: people enjoying the sunshine, relaxing of lockdown and whether it's the right move, how contagious the coronavirus is, why kitchen workers are all mad, the underwhelming return of the Premier League, 30 years of hurt coming to an end for Liverpool fans (and why winning the title matters most), cabinet spending, the NHS, the future for protests, why we need a confident government (and don't have one), shocking recent developments in the world of NASCAR, the current lack of tolerance in society, big companies panicking about their lack of diversity and how the media have changed for the better in one very important way.
