Jonny and Adam go back to the usual formula for this week's political overview.
Big topic: Boris Johnson comes under scrutiny for "let bodies pile up" comment and lack of clarity on his housing expenses.
Other news: Cladding scandal continues, India in virus meltdown and Sir Keir Starmer's clash with a landlord.
Debate: How should we make our education more progressive, with a focus on minority groups like those in the LGBTQ+ community.
America: Joe Biden leads a revolution but Republican obstacles stand in his way, and Donald Trump talks up a comeback bid.
We finish with a look at the Karen stereotype and why there are new troublesome names that are rising to the surface. Disclaimer: we mean no offence to any people called Karen!
