Summary

Another Conservative MP submits letter of no confidence in the PM... Victoria Derbyshire sits in for Adam. She invites Newsnight’s Lewis Goodall and Craig Oliver (ex Comms Director for David Cameron) on the pod to try and understand what's going on at 10 Downing Street. After the Chancellor unveiled £billions worth of support in a bid to tackle the cost of living crisis yesterday, friend of the pod Claer Barrett (Consumer Editor at the Financial Times) jumps on to talk energy, taxes and wages. And, which of the Bafta noms should we all watch this weekend? Radio 1 film critic, Ali Plumb, knows a good film when he sees it! Today’s Newscast was made by Sam Bonham with Alix Pickles, Georgia Coan and Sally Abrahams. The studio director was Emma Crowe.
