Cummings and Covid

Dominic Cummings made his much anticipated appearance in front of a joint select committee on Wednesday. He'd already trailed a significant proportion of his revelations on Twitter but seeing the man himself make them in Parliament did make this a major political event.
We examine what he said,how he said it,the circling of the wagons around him by the Tory Party,and place it all within the context of how this Conservative government "governs".

We also revisit the creation of Great British Railways, the Friends reunion, and Eurovision.
