6: What's News?

This current affairs podcast tries to unpick all things British politics over the last couple of weeks. With an analysis of parliamentary affairs, major political events, media headlines and viral moments - we aim to make sense of this tumultuous time in politics. In this episode, we talk about the key political events of the last week. The Windsor Framework, a new initiative to solve post-Brexit issues in Northern Ireland, dominated headlines at the beginning of the week. Matt Hancock’s messages from the peak of the pandemic were also significant, with questions surrounding the ethics of Isabel Oakeshott’s decision to release the messages to the Telegraph. Sue Gray is also back, but this time as a potential new Chief of Staff to Keir Starmer. Her report on partygate is also being referenced by the Privileges Committee in their report over Boris Johnson’s potential misleading of Parliament.
