The Prime Minister may have won himself a reprieve after the departure of two of his top advisers, but many MPs will be looking for a radical reset of his government in order to maintain their support. But the fallout continued as two Labour figures were suspended for their association not with Jeffrey Epstein, but with a different sex offender. Also on the programme: The founder of independent Russian news organisation Meduza on the impact of new restrictions on the messaging app Telegram. And we speak to one of the Danes covering up statues of naked women with knitwear.
