Today, we look at the challenges facing Labour’s plans for welfare reform. After the chancellor Rachel Reeves set her sights on a “fundamental” reform of the system, Laura, Paddy and Henry discuss what that could mean for health and disability benefits and why cost cutting reforms could cause trouble within the Labour party.
Plus, five years on from the UK’s departure from the European Union we look at what’s actually changed and why for some people the Brexit deal still isn’t done.
