GB News have hired a new presenter. It's political heavyweight, Peter Andre. No one saw that coming but Marina and Jemma are enjoying people's reactions on Twitter. More predictable is the chaos surrounding Johnson and the Covid Inquiry. Johnson says he's handed over everything, but hasn't, and Sunak seems reluctant to co operate. It's almost like they don't want us to know how they handled things and, at time of record, it looks like the government are going to be suing themselves.... You can't make this stuff up.

Then, Jemma and Marina take a look at some of the scandal that Carol Vorderman has been unearthing about PPE contracts and discuss who Labour have taken a large donation from and who the Tories have landed £5 million from. 

Pudding is from Matilda Thorpe.
