Quarantine fallout, queueing in parliament, chaos at the top and the UK’s offer to Hong Kong

Boris Johnson’s government found itself confused this week about why it was introducing a 14-day quarantine for all arrivals in the UK.

Plus, we discuss the farcical scenes in parliament, the reopening of pubs and restaurants this summer and Britain’s offer to the people of Hong Kong. Presented by Sebastian Payne, with George Parker, Jim Pickard and Laura Hughes. Produced by Anna Dedhar and Breen Turner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
