Summary

Richard Porritt, Matt Withers and Cash Boyle return to shine a light on another week in politics.

The trio discuss the Brexiteers' fury at the impounding of a ham and cheese sandwich, why the government is prepared to die in a ditch over free school meals and London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey's suggestion homeless people should save £5,000 for a house deposit.

They are joined by The New European columnist Ian Dunt to examine the abject failure of the government to deal with the coronavirus crisis.

Plus in Cash And Burn they try to get to the bottom of what Nigel Farage's new Reform UK party is all about.
