Description
Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian and Ailbhe Rea address the ongoing public war of words between Boris Johnson and former advisor Dominic Cummings.They discuss allegations (which Number 10 have denied) that the Prime Minister said he'd rather let "bodies pile high in their thousands" than go into a third national lockdown - and why questions over who paid for Downing Street's refurbishment could prove more damaging than anything else.Then, in You Ask Us, the team take your questions on why protests over the Super League weren't policed as agressively as the Sarah Everard vigil.If you'd like to submit a question for You Ask Us, please email podcasts@newstatesman.co.ukSubscribing to the New Statesman helps us keep producing this podcast.
