Episode Description

Nearly a year after taking on the role of Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch had a good outing at Prime Minister's Questions this week as she asked a "Gotcha" question to Keir Starmer about the government's tax promises. But as she grows in confidence, her poll ratings remain historically bad.
Nigel and Sarah discuss this and other issues including budget speculation, the Chancellor's difficulties over form-filling, a Welsh by-election and the 75th anniversary of the rebuilding of the House of Commons chamber.
