Episode notes

“The Republican Party in other words - however reluctantly - has just now emerged into the daylight.”

Robert Moore reacts to a decisive moment in the 2020 US election as one of Donald Trump's key allies wrecks his hopes of overturning the result - within 24 hours of electors officially upholding Joe Biden's victory.

Robert and Laura Schwartz give Daniel Hewitt their expert verdicts on what Trump will do now, while analysing the fresh vaccine challenge facing the incoming Biden administration.

Our commander in tweets Fred Dimbleby also joins the team to weigh up whether Trump's Twitter days are numbered and discuss anti-vax conspiracies, before Laura surprises everyone with her truly remarkable - but undeniably cheesy - family plans for New Year's Eve.
