It’s nearly Christmas, but there is still lots of excitement to be had in Westminster, including Keir Starmer’s trip to the Liaison Committee. This is where the Prime Minister sits in front of senior MPs and is grilled on various policy areas. Today’s topics included the leaks (Wes Streeting and the OBR) and Keir Starmer’s integrity more generally, as well as the farm tax, the House of Lords and the government’s long-anticipated strategy to counter violence against women and girls. How did today’s proceedings expose the ‘paucity’ of Starmer’s Labour?

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale.
