Summary

With a trickle of letters to the 1922 Committee chairman and Labour pivoting to take the Conservative Party to task for low economic growth and an incoming tax rise, could Boris Johnson soon face a vote of no confidence after all?

Anoosh Chakelian, Ailbhe Rea and Stephen Bush discuss the Prime Minister’s fate and the catastrophic impact of the forthcoming energy price cap rise.

Then in You Ask Us, a listener asks what will happen if the Northern Irish First Minister Paul Givan resigns.
