Welcome to the Week in 60 Minutes from Spectator TV recorded on Thursday, December the 3rd.

It's been a dramatic week. A vaccine is on its way.

It's arriving next week, heroded by a flurry of Johnsonian metapids.

Will it quell Tory backbench anger at multi-tier lockdowns?

It's already provoked the government's biggest parliamentary rebellion yet.

If it wasn't for labor abstentions, disgruntled Tory MPs would have overturned even

its 80-seat majority. I'll be speaking to their ringleader, the rebel ringleader, former

with Mark Harper. A new poll put support for Scottish independence at 56% is the momentum behind

Eri Grey is the Ipsos-Mori pollster behind this week's numbers, and we'll be joining the show.

And finally, our third segment today, the language of so-called critical race theory.

It's permeated many conversations this year, fueling the Black Lives Matter movement,

Equality and Human Rights Commission. Before we kick off, a reminder to subscribe to the Spectator's YouTube channel for free,
