David Davis MP is Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan’s latest passenger as they blast off to Planet Normal. The Tory veteran talks about whether the A-Levels U-turn will be this government’s poll tax moment, says don’t need to be “world leading”, we just need to be competent when it comes to coronavirus, and that the Cabinet would have benefitted from more experience in hindsight. Plus, a glimpse behind the scenes of the rows that caused him to step down as Brexit secretary.
And Allison and Liam also talk exams, and whether “Gav has to go”, and hear about home-made explosives and Starsky and Hutch inspired car chases in your Health and Safety stories.

Once again a most interesting and entertaining podcast which has become an absolute MUST on Thursday mornings!
There is little doubt in our minds that you, Allyson, should replace the arrogant and odious Gavin who has utterly failed the next generation of university undergraduates. His astonishing incompetence knows no bounds, but we cannot comprehend why he appears to command respect amongst his colleagues? My husband says he would love to have a confrontation with him, it would make for a splendid “fly on the wall” video! (No physical violence but strong words).
David Davis would be such an excellent choice to take a cabinet chair too. His interview with Liam was that of a statesman which makes the pathetic outpourings of Gav’s blame game seem almost humorous!
Thank you both.
