Episode description

Today sees a moment of reckoning for Britain, as parliament votes on a report condemning former Prime Minister Boris Johnson for deliberately lying about how his own team flouted Covid rules. The result could have imposed a 90-day suspension on Johnson, but he pre-emptively resigned last week, lashing out at what he called a “kangaroo court." Now, a new video has emerged showing Conservative aides dancing and drinking during lockdown. Christiane discusses this with former Conservative MP Dominic Grieve and political reporter Tom McTague. 

Also on today's show: law professor Anita Hill; author Rachel Louise Snyder; Iranian chef Nasim Alikhani
