As Cummings:Kuenssberg gives us yet more Classic Dom content, are we now fine with unelected advisors trying to topple Prime Ministers – or for that matter, Prime Ministers giving the Queen COVID? Freedom Week: has the Government just given up trying to control the virus? Special guest Charles Arthur, author of Social Warming: The Dangerous and Polarising Effects of Social Media, explain the forces that make Facebook and Twitter increasingly noxious. And 60 glorious years of Prime Minister’s Questions.

  • “Cummings’ sniggering face when he gives his answers tells you far more than the answers themselves.” – Ian Dunt
  • “If you shove everyone into a room and make them talk to one another, you’re going to get fights.” – Charles Arthur
  • “PMQs is the absolute worst of Parliament and the best at the same time.” – Minnie Rahman
  • “You do not go for the barricades for the most embarrassing people on your side.” – Dorian Lynskey

    Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Minnie Rahman and Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Alex Rees. OH GOD, WHAT NOW? is a Podmasters production.
