Dominic Cummings gave a colourful account of life in Downing Street at the Covid inquiry this week. Other than him describing people as “morons” and “useless f**k-pigs” – what else did we learn? Plus, our guest this week is the public policy editor of the Financial Times, Peter Foster. He joins the panel to discuss his new book – What Went Wrong With Brexit And What We Can Do About It.

- "Cummings knew perfectly well that Johnson was unfit to run the country, and still he elevated him to that position.” – Alex Andreou
- “I feel profoundly angry at the casual nature with which they decided to play with people’s fate.” – Alex Andreou
- “I think Brexit was always going to be messy.” – Peter Foster.
- “It was almost as if they went to businesses and said you can go wild in the aisle, you can have whatever you want in the Brexit sweet shop!” – Peter Foster.
