"Disinformation" with David Davis

Chopper's Politics

Finally the Covid inquiry starts next week - and the Government is in a right old tangle over what to do about it. Veteran Conservative MP and former Cabinet Minister David Davis joins Christopher Hope in the Red Lion to voice his concerns about the shadowy Government body called the Counter Disinformation Unit, which was used to spy on lockdown critics and why he'd only give the current government a 6/10.

Also on the podcast, we explore what would Labour do about the Covid Whatsapp row, if it's not resolved by the time a potential Labour govt is formed next year, with Shadow Cabinet Office minister Baroness Jenny Chapman. She admits she had misgivings about closing schools, and also makes her pitch for a Prime Minister Starmer.

Plus Tory London Mayor hopeful Dan Korski on what the capital would look like if he took the reigns, and his thoughts on a certain former London Mayor with a penchant for zip-wires.
