Summary
Westminster waits for report into Dominic Raab’s behaviour
The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is considering the much anticipated report into alleged bullying by the Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab. Adam and Chris talk about what to expect and are joined by Sir Alex Allan, who was the government’s independent adviser on ministerial interests from 2011-2020.
Adam catches up with Lauren Mahon and Steve Bland from the You, Me and the Big C podcast. They discuss a new documentary following the last years of Deborah James’ life, as well as the impact of Covid on cancer treatments and the importance of early diagnosis.
And, in solidarity with BBC presenter Claire Frisby - who presented the news in the dark after a studio malfunctoin - Adam and Chris switch the lights off for some of the show.
Today’s Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming and Chris Mason. It was made by Cat Farnsworth with Chris Flynn. The senior news editor was Sam Bonham.
