Why the government U-turned on the NHS surcharge

Within 24 hours of refusing to scrap the NHS surcharge for migrant healthworkers, the government has U-turned. We discuss why; as well as Scotland's lockdown easing and the new civil servant at No 10, Simon Case.

With Fraser Nelson and James Forsyth.

Presented by Katy Balls.
