Summary

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

The trio discuss the inauguration of Joe Biden, media coverage of the coronavirus pandemic and the Tory revolt over an anti-genocide trade deal law.

They are joined by John Kampfner to explain who new German CDU leader Armin Laschet is, and Glen O'Hara to give his report card on Keir Starmer's performance nearly 10 months into the job.

Plus the team offer up some cultural recommendations to get you through the next few weeks/months/years of lockdown.
