Description

This conversation covers the Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch's denial that the former Chairman of the Post Office had been instructed to stall payments in order to allow the government to "limp" into the next General Election, the potential for tax cuts being announced at the budget in March and what they mean for us. MPs are also debating a motion in Parliament put forward by the Scottish National Party (SNP) calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and we're joined by former Labour staffer Max Wilson to discuss the extent to which this is an example of political game-playing.
