Summary

As Johnson opens “Freedom Day” with a classic one-rule-for-us flip-flop (hey, he was in a pilot scheme!) what does England’s first week without restrictions mean for ordinary people who aren’t in the Cabinet? Plus the NI protocol reaches crunch point, Keir Starmer prepares for war on Labour’s far Left, and what the Pegasus Spyware scandal means. Naomi Smith joins Andrew Harrison to set out the week ahead. • “The government is coming for immigrants, people seeking sanctuary and our democratic rights.” • “The so-called Sausage War wasn’t even handbags at dawn compared to what’s coming for Northern Ireland.” • “I get the temptation to escape Earth right now… but wouldn’t we just be taking Covid to the aliens?” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
