Newscast - Covid Inquiry Consequences

Evidence at the Covid inquiry has shown there were huge tensions within Number 10 during the pandemic. But is what we're hearing damaging the reputation of the current government?

Laura’s been talking to the Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden about it.

We also discuss the political and policing challenges of plans for a mass rally next Saturday on Armistice Day.

Laura and Paddy are joined by chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman to talk this all through.
