Newscast - A smorgasbord of fiascos

It’s been another long day for Boris Johnson. Laura, Adam and Chris chat about all the incoming fire. Just what did he know - and when - about the decorating costs for his Downing Street flat? And what political damage will he suffer over the continuing controversy around alleged Christmas parties last year and the introduction of Plan B. Is this the beginning of the end for the PM?

MP and former Justice Secretary Robert Buckland shares his views about all that and talks about his very personal determination to improve the lives of young adults, like his daughter, who have been diagnosed with autism.

Newscast was made by Ali Gee, Ros Jones, Danny Wittenberg and Alix Pickles.
