Episode description
Adam Boulton and guests discuss the Prime Minister's big announcement of a near total lockdown as the country battles the coronavirus outbreak
But is the messaging getting through and has the government got it right so far?
They examine the emergency legislation rushed through parliament to enforce government measures and discuss efforts to fast-track testing - particularly for frontline NHS staff - as the Health Secretary announces a new temporary hospital in London.
And as Parliament goes into recess, there is a look back at Jeremy Corbyn's last PMQs as Labour leader.
Joining Adam this week are the former MEP and director of the Academy of Ideas Claire Fox and Sky's politcal correspondent Tamara Cohen.
