Summary

The second leg of the Covid Inquiry is very much underway and Johnson’s government looks evermore like a "terrible, tragic joke". They’re not our words but those of Cabinet Secretary Simon Case. What else did we learn about the handling of the pandemic? And there’s been a small influx of Tory defection to Labour, meanwhile, former SNP MP Lisa Cameron has moved over to the Conservatives. What’s going on? “It’s a sort of confirmation of what we thought might be the worst case scenario.” – Alex Andreou. “Unless you told Johnson over and over again what you wanted him to say, he would wander off and announce the first thing that came into his head.” – Alex Andreou. “There’s one thing to know about rats: and that’s that they don’t really like sinking ships… “ – Marie Le Conte. “Something like 4% of Reclaim voters are telling pollsters they’d vote Remain. Who ARE these people?” – Matt Green.

0:33.7	It is obviously the biggest news around at the moment.
0:36.5	More and more details emerge every day, and we will return to the issue periodically, of course,
0:41.4	when we have the right guest or to assess major developments.
0:44.4	This does not mean that we don't acknowledge the plight of innocent people in that region
0:47.6	or that we don't extend our solidarity to them.
0:50.0	It just means that there are only so many ways of expressing our sense of horror at the events.
0:54.4	This ongoing catastrophe does not need another running commentary,
