Coming up on the Peston podcast, the man who some say put Boris Johnson into Downing Street,

Dominic Cummings, who's now fallen out with him spectacularly,

published a 7,000-word blog today, renewing his criticism of the way that the Prime Minister

and his Health Secretary Matt Hancock handled the COVID crisis. What kind of impact will that have on the popularity,

the credibility of the government? There's also been more and more evidence of politicians

from both left and right, fighting what are known as culture wars, exploiting divisions between

all of us based on identity.

How much is the government exploiting those sorts of culture wars?

And this has been a week in which we've learned that we're not now getting our freedoms back

until at least July the 19.

But what is the chance that we will get back to something that looks like normal on July the 9th?

So all this and much more to talk about with the business secretary of quasi-quartain,

with the former race advisor to the Prime Minister, who resigned just a few weeks ago, Samuel Kazamu.

I'll also be talking to the brilliant rapper, musician Prof Green,

and we'll probably talk to him a bit about the sort of culture war issues as well as how difficult

it is for young artists struggling with the restrictions imposed by lockdown.

Also delivering words of wisdom, brilliant insights, regular guests on this program, former Foreign Secretary,

former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, and somebody who played a prominent role in Jeremy Corbyn's

front bench, now a very influential backbencher Dawn Butler.

Coming up first, Jeremy Hunt. As somebody who's looking very hard at the lessons learned from, well,

the first 16 months of COVID, did you learn anything useful from that blog today?

I think we learned a lot from what Dominic Cummings has said in his seven hours with us.
