They say that if you want a friend in politics, get a dog. But with an estimated 10.3 million dogs in the UK, have we now got too many?

Matt Chorley talks to Anna Webb, Alexis Conran and others about the policies needed to deal with a rise in pet ownership - from how to regulate professional dog walkers to whether to fine people for going out without a dog poo bag.

Plus Finkelvitch - Daniel Finkelstein and David Aaronovitch discuss whether criticism of Qatar has gone too far, and whether attacks on Keir Starmer's private school policy will damage Labour.
