About this episode

Camilla and Kamal are joined in the studio by Labour's Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting as he talks about considering private healthcare, the future of the NHS and 'class top trumps'. 


Plus Camilla and Kamal react to Reform UK's ‘contract’ with voters - launched today in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. As Reform’s popularity continues to surge, should the Tories borrow a policy or two from Nigel Farage?
