Meanwhile, as Sajid Javid loudly announces the end of COVID restrictions, will masks become the latest marker of the culture war? And why was that Princess Diana statue so bad? “Dominic Cummings' blog reads like the diary of a teenage girl scorned.” – Ayesha Hazarika “Boris Johnson seems like a clown on the outside but the surprise from Cummings is, he actually does have hidden depths.” – John Rentoul “The pandemic has shown up just how minging we were before. Nobody washed their hands!” – Ayesha Hazarika “Javid hasn’t said anything different from Hancock, he’s just said them in a different order.” – John Rentoul NOT FOR PATREON UPLOAD https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Andrew Harrison with Arthur Snell and Ayesha Hazarika.
