At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Our Covid response: 5/10 

In totality it looks like a thing you do to score some points against the other guys, with no real sense there is any accountability and no real assurance it won't be the same next time. 

 

Parental leave: 5/10 

Political misstep of the week. Took a decent idea, then turned it into an inter-coalition bitch slap. 

 

Gregg's: 3/10 

First the peaches, then the coffee. What's next? Jaffas? Oh, wait. 

 

The new tariffs: 2/10 

Between them, the courts, and the war, the Trump presidency, if not already in flames, looks increasingly combustible. 

 

Zoe Hobbs: 7/10 

My pick of the success stories from Glasgow. Seemed overwhelmed, grateful, and pleased she could prove the doubters wrong.
