Summary

The All Out Politics podcast returns with new issues on old favourites.
Is Operation Moonshot a long-shot as the Prime Minister points to enhanced testing as a way out of the current rise in coronavirus?
And what about the admission by a Cabinet minister that the government is attempting to 'break international law' by introducing a new bill to amend the UK's Brexit deal with the EU?

Joining Adam Boulton this week are: the legal Editor at Spiked Luke Gittos, Jessica Simor QC from Matrix Chambers and Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig.
