Summary

Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan are back to ignite a few fires and urinate on several others. Today they discuss: kids finally returning to school (with confusing messaging), the coronavirus death toll, social challenges for people who continue to work from home, Piers Corbyn's on the spot fine, why the police seem to favour some protests and not others, the Tories' obsession with climate change, why Brits are infatuated with bank holidays, Priti Patel's handling of the migrant crisis, Banksy's boat, the new BBC director general and his beleaguered organisation, left-wing comedy, the US election, Keir Starmer's PMQs performance, and why the Conservatives need to be more conservative. It's another blockbusting edition of the Thought Police.

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