Episode description

Two weeks in to the UK lockdown, Adam Boulton and guests examine the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis so far as delays to the testing of frontline NHS workers result in some uncomfortable headlines for the Prime Minister.
They assess the lessons learned from previous pandemics like the Spanish Flu, the current response from ministers and the government's exit strategy as comparisons are made with China and South Korea.
And reflections on Jeremy Corbyn's Labour leadership as the party prepares to announce his successor.
Joining Adam this week are the historian Peter Frankopan and Sky's political correspondent Kate McCann.
