What’s Labour’s plan to win the next election?
Laura and Paddy discuss the opposition’s plan to attract votes, as they make immigration and crime their subjects of the moment.
They also talk about accusations against comedian and actor Russell Brand of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse in The Times and on Channel 4’s Dispatches, which he denies.
And a former Network Rail director in the North of England is on to talk about whether HS2 will make it as far as Manchester, and why it’s cost so much money.
