## Resource

Francis Foster joins me to pick the bones out of several days of chaos for our glorious PM. From the revelations in the Guardian, to his painful address in the commons down and then Olly Robbins testimony, we ask whether it's damaged him or confirmed what people already thought. Also - as Francis has a book on teaching coming out - we look at the govt's u-turn on banning mobile phones in schools. In the Patron only we react to Nigel Farage's surprising broadside against online racists. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
