The First Monday in May

That’s a Raab! Karate guru Dom has lost several Cabinet jobs after an investigation into bullying allegations. What fallout can we expect? Plus, the Home Office has tried to clean up its act and says it will now refer to asylum seekers as “customers”. How compassionate. And another local councillor drops the ball, after replying to an email in Welsh in German. Why can so many Brits not speak a second language? Plus, our special guest this week is Geri Scott, political reporter at The Times. 

• “He will never believe anything he did was wrong, he’s stepping down for the good of his party only.” – Hannah Fearn
• “There was a shocking lack of contrition in the letter.” – Yasmeen Serhan 
• “It’s hard to imagine that you’re going to have the best and brightest line up for a job in government if the expectation is that they’re going to be treated in a poor way” – Yasmeen Serhan
• “It just feels like a zombie government that can’t get anything done.” – Geri Scott
