Summary

The Covid inquiry is well underway but we won’t get the findings well-after 2026 and THEN some. Too long? Suella Braverman’s wish to increase powers to stop street protests has come true with little to no resistance from Labour. Our panel discuss why? Plus, private school officials hurled the most private school insults at Labour’s shadow education secretary. It called her “chippy” and said she knew “diddly” for planning to add VAT to school fees, A-class snobbery or justified comment? “You don’t do your mingling when there’s a plague!” – Andrew Harrison “I was recently disheartened seeing those headlines saying the inquiry had been politicised.” – Rachel Cunliffe “It’s only just started and already we’ve started to lose sight of what the point of this inquiry is meant to be.” – Rachel Cunliffe. “If they want this inquiry to be useful, it needs to be done quicker.” – Tom Peck “I think privately these ‘chippy’ comments will make Labour quite happy.” – Tom Peck www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Group Editor Andrew Harrison with Tom Peck, Rachel Cunliffe and Arthur Snell.
