It’s the week that the UK formally went into lockdown in the fight against coronavirus, but it’s also the week in which former First Minister Alex Salmond was cleared of the sexual assault allegations made against him. We hear from the journalist who broke the story of the original allegations on what the verdict means for the future of Scottish politics, plus all the latest on coronavirus, and some tips on working from home.

It’s the week in which, well, there may have been a well-received Budget from the UK Chancellor, but there’s only one topic on the minds of politicians and public alike: coronavirus. With us moving formally from the ‘contain’ phase into ‘delay’, we discuss what that means, and what the coming weeks and months could look like.

Week 10, 2020: Coronavirus, and Burrowing Boris
Thursday Mar 05, 2020
Thursday Mar 05, 2020
