"Although there is nothing particularly new about the story itself, what brings freshness and interest to the sorry saga is the revelations of whistle blowers and number 10 insiders who (anonymously) share their observations with us. It’s a really great summary of a story that gripped the nation and, in seven short episodes (with no ads), never outstays its welcome."

"...an excruciating listen. Remembering the litany of evidence, the sheer number of parties held during Covid, brought back the bile. Occasionally, the episodes felt a little laboured...But amid the yes-we-know-that recall, the podcast gave us several new zingers from sources who were employed at No 10 at the time. "
