Summary

No sooner had we pressed "stop" on recording Wednesday's show than all sorts of bizarre events unfolded. Brexit cheerleader Paul Dacre announced his retirement from editing the Daily Mail, David Davis went through another pantomime resignation threat… and Boris Johnson's attempts to get sacked reached new heights of absurdity. "Pro bono publico, no meltdown" – really? So Ian and producer Andrew headed to London's lovely Hyde Park (pubs are too noisy) to quickly get it all down so you don't have to wait a week. Forgive our dodgy sound quality – we thought you'd want it as quick as we could get it to you. Enjoy. "Confidence is a preference for what is known as… PARK CAST."
