Today, we look at whether the government’s leadership changes point to a turn to the right after a series of personnel changes after Angela Rayner’s resignation.
The new home secretary Shabana Mahmood is said to be taking up a harder stance on immigration and is looking at moving asylum seekers onto military sites as an alternative to hotels, as confirmed by defence secretary John Healey in an interview with Laura today.
Political correspondent joins Laura and Paddy to look at the latest ins and out and what we can read into them when it comes to what direction Keir Starmer’s government is going in.
And we discuss Reform’s readiness for government after Nigel Farage admitted his party is short of experience in government.
