Episode 12 of the FFS Show podcast is a Boris Johnson fact-check special.

After [Dawn Butler MP was ejected](https://www.theferret.scot/fact-check-dawn-butlers-claims-about-boris-johnson/) from the House of Commons for reading a list of alleged falsehoods by the PM, we dived into her statement to see whether her allegations were true.

We also concluded our interview with new openDemocracy editor-in-chief [Peter Geoghegan](https://twitter.com/PeterKGeoghegan?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor&ref=theferret.scot). He talked us through the links between Covid-19 misinformation and those behind similar tactics during the Brexit referendum and beyond.
