Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is scheduled to meet the Health Secretary Wes Streeting tomorrow morning ahead of the King's Speech, in which the government will lay out its legislative agenda for the next year. Streeting is seen as a likely leadership rival to Starmer as more MPs call for the Prime Minister to quit and four ministers resign. However more than 100 Labour MPs have signed a statement backing Starmer. We ask if Britain's fracturing politics is making the country ungovernable.
Also on the programme: the best-selling crime writer Patricia Cornwell, on her traumatic early life, and how her days as a journalist shaped her writing.
