ABOUT THIS EPISODE

If Andy Burnham fails to deliver on the cost of living, will he end up just as unpopular as Donald Trump?

Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman dissect what the US midterms can teach the Labour party, and why big money doesn’t always translate into big wins.

Plus, they delve into Shabana Mahmood’s immigration reforms – including whether she’s silenced her Labour critics on this for good, and if it’s fair to accuse her of a U-turn.
