Victoria Derbyshire presents political discussion from Newport Cathedral in south Wales.

Rishi Sunak has apologised and admitted it was a “mistake” to leave D-Day commemorations early, but many in the Conservative Party are already furious with the prime minister and Labour's Keir Starmer has said he “has to explain” the decision.   So why did he do it? Having spent the campaign so far reaching out to the very voters who hold respect for history and veterans so dear.  Is this the moment the game is up and closing the gap on Labour becomes unrecoverable? Nigel Farage is already out there saying it shows Sunak isn't patriotic. With me Conservative Home's Henry Hill, Boris Johnson's former director of communications Guto Harri and Labour's Jonathan Ashworth.  Produced by Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Nick Jackson and Annie La Vespa  

As promised last week we do tackle the Land Reform Bill but not before casting our gimlet gaze over other major issues.Ally McCoist didn't turnup at the Rangers v Celtic match on Sunday so missed out on the opportunity to fall foul of the new Hate Crime Act. However 48000 other Rangers fans did, we revisit the Act in light of what did and didn't happen.Unlike me Lesley didn't watch the match but appeared on Sky's Trevor Phillips On Sunday show. Having really done her homework on all matters Scottish Lesley was armed with facts and data none of which were needed as the focus was on Israel, Gaza and arms sales. In the week when Conservative ex Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan speaking on LBC  said the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) group had been "doing the bidding of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, bypassing all proper processes of government to exercise undue influence at the top of government", Guto Harri, Boris Johnson's No 10 Director of Communications, was also unequivocal in his condemnation of Israeli's actions in Gaza. Lesley compares this to the mealy mouthed statements from  Labour's David Lammy, Pat McFadden and others. Sarah-Jane Laing the chief executive of Scottish Land and Estates claimed that The Land Reform Bill was a full on attack on the property rights of land owners. The Scottish Government said it would "revolutionise land ownership in Scotland". Lesley it's fair to say has her doubts about both these statements.Thanks to a listener we have further insight into how publicly owned Scottish Water actually is.If you want to go see Lesley's Denmark film here's the linkhttps://lesleyriddoch.com/eventsIt's also now  available onlinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTJnu6lAhvM ★ Support this podcast ★

Figures at the centre of the government decisions during the coronavirus pandemic give evidence to the UK Covid-19 inquiry. First up was Lee Cain, who was a senior aide to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Then it was Dominic Cummings, who was Mr Johnson's chief adviser until he resigned in late 2020. The inquiry heard the pandemic was the wrong crisis for Boris Johnson's skillset, the government had “no plan” to help vulnerable people in lockdown and diary entries also read out suggest Mr Johnson believed old people should get the virus to protect others.

Does it matter if Boris Johnson broke more Covid rules by inviting guests to his country home, Chequers, when the rest of the country was in lockdown?

Later we look at the latest Presidential hopeful to take on Donald Trump - Ron DeSantis, Florida Governor, who is launching his campaign on Twitter.
