Summary

Northern Powerhouse trains might be derailed, but as the CBI convenes across the country, levelling up is back on the agenda. Could Keir Starmer be on track to dismantle the Government’s shoddy Integrated Rail Plan? And Austria returns to COVID lockdown, what will this mean for booster shots and mandatory vaccination at home? Plus Priti Patel faces pressure over the rise in dinghys in Dover, and do English Channel crossings really constitute a migrant crisis? Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou take you through the week ahead. “Johnson hasn't got Brexit done, and he hasn't levelled up the country.” - Naomi Smith “We needed an Integrated Rail Plan. We got a failure.” - Naomi Smith “Johnson has done a lot to push people away. Starmer has to try and pull them.” - Alex Andreou “You're always one step ahead of the next variant if you're not vaccinating the world.” - Naomi Smith “If you construct a crisis that isn't actually there, it becomes quite difficult to solve.” - Alex Andreou Presented by Alex Andreou with Naomi Smith. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
