Episode description

It's "small boats week" on the government media grid; or that was the idea.

It looks like it could have been over before it began.

Jon is back, and with Lewis they chew over why the government keeps pointing to a policy area on which it's failed.

They also talk through the Home Secretary's latest great idea as to where to house up to 500 asylum seekers. The Bibby Stockholm, a huge barge currently moored off the Isle of Portland.

And we preview the latest and fourth indictment coming for Trump, likely this week.

Meanwhile...Matt Hancock has been pretending to be Ken, from Barbie. It gives the silly season a bad name.
