It's been a not-so-happy Easter for the Prime Minister as he was fined by the Met police. Over the Westminster and Holyrood recess, the prime minister, the chancellor Rishi Sunak and the PM's wife all received fixed penalty notices for attending a birthday gathering for Boris Johnson in No 10. Now, the pair face calls to resign by opposition parties and several Tory backbenchers. With no further potential actions being taken by the Metropolitan police until after the May local elections, will the public anger die down, or are problems being compounded for the PM and his cabinet? The team also discuss First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's face mask rule breach over the weekend, and the row over the Chancellor's wife's non-dom tax status.
