This week's episode begins by paying tribute to Alistair Darling, the former Labour Chancellor who has died aged 70. Emma recalls working with a thoroughly decent man. Charlotte and Emma then discuss Rishi Sunak's unseemly spat with the Greek Prime Minister over the Elgin Marbles before returning to the Covid enquiry. Matt Hancock was back on the stand and trying to paint himself as the hero of the hour.
