Is it over for Boris Johnson?
After swearing an oath on the King James Bible, Boris Johnson spent nearly three and a half hours being quizzed by fellow MPs on the privileges committee about gatherings in Downing Street during lockdown. The same afternoon, only 22 Tories followed him through the lobbies, defying a three-line whip to vote against the government’s Brexit deal. So is his appeal – and his argument – fading away? And where does it all leave the Conservatives?

Customer Reviews
Always great
Informative and engaging ! Maybe a few too many ads…..
Do private school need a rethink?
Very unbalanced and opinionated reporting by Sian here. Assumes all private schools are Eton and that all families sending their kids to independent schools are rich and own ski chalets. Wheeling in the child who had got the scholarship to Eton and putting him on the spot was a low blow. Didn’t mention the majority of families - who are just not taking big holidays and having nice cars and instead are working hard to pay the fees and do their best. Glossed over the fact that the issues will impact the rest of the independent school sector (thousands of schools), the likelihood of many of these closing if the tax regime is changed and the devastating impact this will have on them as businesses, the economy and the already buckling state school system.
Really poor podcast
Well done pushing Russian propaganda. I suggest you listen to Ukraine the latest (telegraph podcast) 4th January episode. Proper experts on Crimea and not anti British. I've unsubscribed to the App and podcast!!!
