Fade to Gray – Start Your Week with Justin Quirk and Alex Andreou

Sue Gray’s final partygate report is due, meaning a long week ahead for Boris Johnson. What can we expect it to contain? Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis continues to deepen. Is a windfall tax on energy companies inevitable? Plus, we discuss Australia’s new Prime Minister and the latest from Ukraine. Justin Quirk is joined by Alex Andreou to tee up the days ahead.



“It’s damaging the Government all the time because it has reversed all their soft ratings.” — Alex Andreou 

“The charge of dishonesty is really difficult to get out of.’ – Alex Andreou 

“A windfall tax is entirely logical.” – Alex Andreou 

“Scott Morrison's loss is a blow to Johnson's government." – Alex Andreou

"The notion that you're a shyster getting away with stuff sticks with the public." – Alex Andreou
