Summary

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

The trio discuss Dominic Cummings' theatrical departure from Downing Street, Jeremy Corbyn's continued estrangement from the Parliamentary Labour Party, the latest in the tortured Brexit negotiations and what we may or may not be allowed to do this Christmas.

They are joined by film writer Richard Luck to discuss the greatest ever political movies.

And Cash explains why cronyism isn't a great way to deal with a global pandemic.
