Boris Johnson misinformation called out, and Peter Geoghegan on Covid-19

Episode 12 of the FFS Show podcast is a Boris Johnson fact-check special. After Dawn Butler MP was ejected from the House of Commons for reading a list of alleged falsehoods by the PM, we dived into her statement to see whether her allegations were true. We also concluded our interview with new openDemocracy editor-in-chief Peter Geoghegan. He talked us through the links between Covid-19 misinformation and those behind similar tactics during the Brexit referendum and beyond.
