Freedom Week, a Pingdemic Party, or just a temporary holiday from restrictions that will inevitably come back in autumn? Does the Government really know what it’s doing on unlocking? Plus, who did Dominic Cummings’s latest drive-by really damage: Boris Johnson or Cummings himself? And as the rise of NEDs or Non-Executive Directors is made public by the unfortunate Gina Coladangelo, do they really add value to Government, or just more cronyism?

“People watching Cummings just think, We elected the Prime Minister, not you, mate.” – Jill Rutter
“Being cautious at the same time as celebrating Freedom Day just doesn’t stack up.” – Alex Thomas
“There's a huge difference between what you're advised to do, and what you're required to do.” – Jill Rutter

Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Jill Rutter, Alex Thomas. Matthew Gill and Tom Sasse. Audio production by Alex Rees. Inside Briefing is a Podmasters Production for the IfG.
