Summary

The wait for the Sue Gray report goes on–with the word “imminent” having been redefined of late. If it is finally released, what impact might it have? As Boris Johnson faces consistent pressure and splits within his party, the government wants to shift focus with pledges for so-called “Brexit freedoms.” What’s the reality, compared to the rhetoric? Meanwhile, Russia-Ukraine tensions persist, with further interventions due from the Prime Minister and foreign secretary Liz Truss. What can we expect? Alex Andreou and Gavin Esler take a look at the week ahead. “This is not a government which does governing, this is a government which does marketing.” - Gavin Esler “If Sunak were to quit over National Insurance then that would be the end for Johnson.” - Gavin Esler “Liz Truss does not want to be seen as the one who caused Johnson to fall, as there’s a political price to that.” - Alex Andreou “The idea that Boris steps in and saves the Ukrainian people from the Russians is nonsense.” - Gavin Esler “Putin cannot accept a democratic Ukraine becoming richer than Russia.” - Gavin Esler Presented by Alex Andreou with Gavin Esler. Producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. Lead Producer: Jacob Jarvis. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.
