Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove has called a new leaked partygate video “terrible” – and says the fact the event went ahead is “indefensible”.

The footage appears to show Tory staff drinking, dancing and joking about “bending” COVID lockdown rules in December 2020.

On this week’s Sophy Ridge On Sunday podcast, hear Mr Gove’s reaction to the clip – and the views of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

They also discuss the mortgage market, Scottish independence and the green transition.

To analyse those interviews, Sophy is joined on the podcast by political correspondent Liz Bates and programme editor Scott Beasley.

Plus, hear Sophy’s exclusive broadcast interview with former Tesco boss John Allan, who was forced to step down over misconduct allegations.

Speaking to Sky News, he insisted he was “completely innocent”, but admitted making an “ill-judged remark”.
