Coffee House Shots

Is the privileges committee a kangaroo court?

11 min • 30 juni 2022
After an eight-day world tour, Boris Johnson is back on British soil to come face-to-face with Tory MPs for the first time since the hammering by-election defeat. Meanwhile, the privileges committee begins with Harriet Harman as its chair.

'You'll have to eat an awful lot of olives for this to make a difference' - James Forsyth.

Cindy Yu is joined by James Forsyth and Katy Balls.

Produced by Natasha Feroze.
