Boris Johnson's Shameful Covid WhatsApps, Plus Is AI A Threat To Humanity? | Pod Save The Uk

Pod Save the UK
The latest hearings at the Covid Inquiry reveal chaos and dysfunction at the heart of Government during the pandemic. Did Boris Johnson really think Covid was nature’s way of dealing with old people? Nish and Coco sift through the swearing and the gossip to get to the heart of what really matters about the latest revelations.

Coco tells Nish about her experience attending the huge rally, in London this weekend, which was calling for a ceasefire in the Israel Gaza conflict. How does she feel about Suella Braverman’s characterisation of the rallies as “hate marches”?

With Silicon Valley’s finest - and Elon Musk - in the Uk for Rishi Sunak’s big AI Summit, Nish and Coco have a play around with ChatGPT…can it come up with a script for them to introduce the show? Cristina Criddle joins the show from Bletchley Park to take us inside the summit and explain what it may or may not achieve. Plus do YOU find Rishi Sunak sexy?
