Listen Later

As tensions simmer among the Labour benches ahead of their spending review, your co-pilots wade through the noise so you don’t have to.


Allison is pleased to see Reform focusing on families again, by pledging to increase the income tax threshold for married couples.


Meanwhile Liam thinks Starmer is sidelining his Chancellor and making spending pledges Rachel Reeves can’t cover.


Plus comedian and writer Andrew Doyle stows away in the rocket, and tells Allison and Liam why he wrote his latest book The End of Woke, and why he thinks society has swiftly moved away from culture war issues.
