Cummings-gate, Covid-19, Brexit + How Labour should respond

Podcast regulars Carolina Saludes, Redha Rubaie and Mark McVitie
are joined by political and public policy strategist Kendall
Aitcliffe to break down the Dominic Cummings scandal that gripped
the UK last weekend. Will Boris Johnson be able to shake off the
bad publicity from Dom’s behaviour? Can the Government be taken
seriously after its most senior advisor ignored the rules to
travel half way round the country with Covid? Will we ever be
able to look at Barnard Castle without mentioning Spec Savers?
 


We also discuss Labour’s response to the scandal, more widely to
the Covid-19 crisis, the appointment of David Evans as new
General Secretary, and how they have to position themselves to
win. 


This episode was recorded Thursday 28th May, before further
allegations from the police about whether Cummings’ conduct broke
lockdown rules. The plot thickens...
