Will Boris Johnson’s new No 10 operation save him?

Anoosh Chakelian, Ailbhe Rea and Stephen Bush discuss the latest events in the crisis surrounding Boris Johnson, including the appointment of the MP Steve Barclay and the former GB News presenter Guto Harri to key Downing Street jobs.

They explain why the resignation of Munira Mirza from the No 10 Policy Unit was so important and whether the appointments are simply rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Then, in You Ask Us, they answer a listener’s question about why Boris Johnson commissioned the Sue Gray report in the first place.
