Eshaan Akbar is joined remotely by Thanyia Moore to tackle the week's news and virtual water-cooler chats, and lovingly mould them into sketches and one-liners by the public.

Newsjack's plucky younger sibling where each week, Eshaan Akbar transforms the news into sketches and one-liners with the help of the Great British public.

This week Eshaan is joined at a safe distance by Thanyia Moore as they discuss the country's reaction to the lockdown, Rishi Sunak's magic powers and how moving the Olympics online might work.
