Summary
There is no rest in the political news cycle this week, but are recent events enough to trigger a political earthquake or just another tremor?
In light of Lee Anderson jumping ship from the Tory Party to Reform UK, Allison thinks the Conservatives won't hold onto a single Red Wall seat won in the 2019 election, and worries that everything in our country has a 'social justice agenda’.
There’s also time to weigh in on the ongoing Covid Inquiry, which Liam thinks has become a ‘farce’ and wonders why it has disappeared from the news.
Joining your co-pilots this week is filmmaker Martin Durkin, who straps in to chat to your co-pilots about some of the home truths revealed in his latest film 'CLIMATE THE MOVIE'.
And Allison gives her take on Cillian Murphy’s eyes in wake of the latest Academy Awards.
'The Climate Movie' (A Cold Truth) is released on 21st March on Youtube and other platforms
Allison Pearson is a board member of The Global Warming Policy Foundation, a think-tank that wants open debate on climate policy.
