Description

It's kebabs akimbo as we do a post-match analysis of The British Kebab Awards - the hottest ticket in Westminster where Frankie and Calum spent Tuesday evening seemingly avoiding people like Theresa May who was, apparently there. Then it's onto The Lockdown Files - the WhatsApps of Matt Hancock have been thrust into the public domain by the journalist Isobel Oakeshott - what have we learned, is it in the public interest and what does it tell us about the state of the relationship between the public, the media and politicians. It feels like a modern throuple. Plus, Kirsty - who worked with Theresa May at the time of The Chequers Plan on Brexit - is keen to talk about The Windsor Framework. She explains more about what it means; Frankie dissects how Labour can now approach Brexit as an electoral issue, and Kirsty reckons this sort of win for Rishi Sunak leaves the door ajar for a Conservative general election victory. Have The Lockdown Files proved informative, interesting, thought-provoking or anger inducing to you? Email us: hello@whitehallsources.com
