Oliver Hides takes your calls on the Covid inquiry, Nathan Gill's bribery case, & your Mani tributes.

Your memories of the Christmas lockdown in 2020. Your reaction to the bribery case of Nathan Gill - former leader of Reform UK in Wales. And your tributes to Gary "Mani" Mounfield.

Welsh Government ministers failed to take decisive action against an entirely foreseeable Covid variant, which led to a Christmas lockdown in 2020. The chair of the UK public inquiry into the pandemic, Baroness Hallet said the circumstances which led to that lockdown were inexcusable. What are your memories of this time, and how do you feel about it now?

We’re taking your calls on a bribery case involving the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill. He’s expected to be sentenced today, after admitting eight counts of bribery. WhatsApp messages revealed that he took bribes as part of a pro-Russian influence campaign in the European Parliament.

And we’re paying tribute to Gary "Mani" Mounfield. The bassist with legendary Manchester band the Stone Roses has died at the age of 63. If you love Mani and the Stone Roses, then get in touch.
