<p>As Johnson opens “<strong>Freedom Day</strong>” with a classic one-rule-for-us flip-flop (hey, he was in a pilot scheme!) what does England’s first week without restrictions mean for ordinary people who aren’t in the Cabinet? Plus the <strong>NI protocol</strong> reaches crunch point, Keir Starmer prepares for war on <strong>Labour’s far Left</strong>, and what the Pegasus Spyware scandal means. <strong>Naomi Smith</strong> joins Andrew Harrison to set out the week ahead.</p><p><br></p><p><em>•&nbsp;</em>“<em>The government is coming for immigrants, people seeking sanctuary and our democratic rights.”</em></p><p><em>•&nbsp;“The so-called Sausage War wasn’t even handbags at dawn compared to what’s coming for Northern Ireland.”</em></p><p><em>•&nbsp;“I get the temptation to escape Earth right now… but wouldn’t we just be taking Covid to the aliens?”</em></p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson.
