In this week's 'News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright is joined by Labour councillor, Freddie Bailey, journalist and GB News presenter, Emily Carver, and political commentators and broadcasters, Lee Harris and Narinder Kaur.
The conversation kicks off with the panel discussing the Partygate inquiry with Boris Johnson’s appearance in front of the Privileges Committee. They reflect on what state this hearing has left Johnson’s career in and descend into an argument over the very idea of lockdown, with two-panel members backing Johnson by admitting to also breaking the rules!
The panel discusses Rishi Sunak’s tax affairs, wealth, and inability to relate to ordinary people. Then Suella Braverman’s recent trip to Rwanda and how it’s been perceived, which opens a debate on the morality and practicalities of Britain’s immigration policy, including the issue of understaffing in the hospitality industry. Finally, they move to international politics, discussing Xi Jinping’s meeting with Vladimir Putin and the shift of world power from the United States towards China.
