Corona is straining Government as never before outside peacetime – and Boris Johnson is still mostly incapacitated. David Lidington, Theresa May’s former deputy, explains exactly what happens when the understudy must step up. How much power does Dominic Raab actually have right now? And do we need a US-style formal succession programme? Plus: When should the lockdown be eased? Does virtual government work? And what is Parliament doing during this strange recess?
“The Whitehall machine had already been working with the dial in the red because of Brexit when this crisis hit.” – David Liddington
Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon with Hannah White. Audio production by Alex Rees.
