Summary

As the Delta Variant continues to spread, is it time for the Government to give up on a grand reopening on June 21 – and for the press to stop calling it “Freedom Day”? And if Dominic Cummings’ revelations are proving to be a bit of a damp squib in the polls, what will it take to move an electorate that’s not interested in the truth? Special guest MUSA OKWONGA – author of One Of Them: An Eton Memoir and host of the amazing Stadio football podcast – joins us to mull these matters and football’s worrying future too. • “Johnson promising fidelity? He’s probably had mistresses called Fidelity.” – Alex Andreou • “You can forgive the British public for not thinking Cummings is the most trustworthy • person.” – Yasmeen Serhan • “A lot of people are very comfortable – and happy to sit back and watch the world burn.” – Musa Okongwa • “Lord Geidt has fulfilled his job as Lord Chief Whitewasher.” – Alex Andreou Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Yasmeen Serhan and Alex Andreou. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic . Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
