Summary

Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan are back once more to vent as the Thought Police podcast rolls into town. Today's talking points are: the failures of lockdown, Track and Trace and virtually every politician, why it's impossible to enforce rules if you can't understand them, the shroud of secrecy about why we are still locked down, coronaphobia, the refusal of teachers to return to work, the useless Lib Dems, peerage issues (and Jeremy Corbyn's involvement), the House of Lords, Nicola Sturgeon's popularity, the current mood of the nation, football's lack of atmosphere, Boris Johnson's sex life, why some MPs have fallen out of favour, accusation culture, an apparent lack of journalistic credibility, Nigel Farage's nose for a scoop and the requirement for our leaders to show some backbone over the next fortnight. Another quiet session then!

You can follow the boys on Twitter. Mike is: @IROMG, Kevin is @TVKev and you'll find the podcast too: @ThoughtPoliceTP.
