I guess the events of today, where the British Prime Minister was confirmed by the Metropolitan Police to have broken the (lockdown) law, has to dominate our Episode 47 headline!

The British public will not forget - he who makes the law has broken his own laws, while families up and down the country were forbidden from visiting sick and dying relatives in hospitals. We will not forget.

Boris Johnson has always been good at burying bad news and there is normally a big distraction to help this happen. When a Prime Minister breaks the law I guess it needs to be a pretty big one - cue Priti Patel and a quick trip to Rwanda to announce 'AN OFFSHORE DETENSION CENTRE' .. Yup, as distraction politics goes I reckon Boris Johnson has trumped everything he has done before

There is lots more here packed into this episode so have a listen, like, share etc. All the online love is greatly appreciated!
