Welcome to F.T. Politics, a weekly discussion on what's happening in Westminster from the Financial

the latest in the coronavirus crisis.

Note to be the UK's decision to continue its nationwide lockdown

Plus we'll also be looking at the developing issues within care homes in the UK,

how the government is coping without Boris Johnson at the top and once again looking at the travails over testing.

I'm delighted to be joined remotely of course by our columnist Robert Shrimsley

political correspondent Laura Hughes and Europe editor Ben Hall.

Thank you all for joining.
