| 0:00.0 | Coming up on the Pest and podcast, are we going to get any escape from lockdown over Christmas? |
| 0:21.6 | Why has the government banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030? |
| 0:28.6 | And was Kirstama right or wrong to tell Jeremy Corbyn he's not welcome back into the parliamentary Labour Party. |
| 0:37.5 | All this and much more with leading COVID expert, Professor John Edmund, |
| 0:42.3 | he's a member of that SAGE Advisory Committee which guides the government. |
| 0:46.3 | George Eustace, the Environment Secretary. |
| 0:48.8 | Robert Rinder, the TV lawyer and judge who's made a really powerful documentary about the Holocaust, but is also an expert on the homeless and our housing crisis. |
| 1:02.6 | Rebecca Long Bailey, who not that long ago was a candidate to be Labour leader and was sacked by Kirstama from the front bench and Kate Fall, David Cameron's former |

| 1:19.7 | First though, I'd like to pick up with Becky Long Bailey. Becky, if you're there, what I really |

| 2:14.3 | the hurt that we'd cause so many people in the Jewish community and implemented |
| 2:18.4 | all of the recommendations. Now, on what's happened today, of course, I'm quite cautious |
| 2:25.4 | in terms of going into detail in the event that it becomes a legal matter, but it's very |
| 2:30.7 | confusing, I'm sure, for a lot of viewers who've been watching what's happening. |
