Summary

It's Deputy Prime Minister's questions with new DPM Oliver Dowden facing Angela Rayner for the first time. Matt, Tim Shipman and Lara Spirit pause and unpack the exchanges as Rayner accuses the Tories of being on a "conveyor belt of crisis", while Dowden compares her and Keir Starmer to This Morning's Holly and Phil.


Plus columnists Alice Thomson and Robert Crampton discuss Keir Starmer's pledge to bring house prices downwhy men are at fault for the falling birthrate, and they taste Tom Hanks' favourite drink.
