This week we bring you chat about stories in the news. Partygate, Nusrat Ghani, Chris Bryant hitting himself with hammers, what Lenin didn't say about criticising other countries, whether Boris Johnson will defeat the Russians singlehandedly, the resignation of Laura Pidcock from Labour's NEC, and more.  

 

Plus, the volcano-powered Bitcoin City, the coming crises, and how the banks will suffer to the benefit of the people.
