Summary

Attorney General Suella Braverman joins Christopher Hope in the Red Lion on a week where her role has been thrown in the spotlight. She apologises for using the term "all options are on the table" when it comes to the UK's relationship with the European Court of Human Rights, following their invention on sending asylum seekers to Rwanda, and defends the controversial policy. Plus the Attorney General also tackles borders and Brexit, states that she feels the BBC has a bias towards the EU, and, finally, reveals her views on Marmite.

Also on the podcast, Chair of the Northern Research Group of Tory MPs, Jake Berry, explains why the government needs to hurry up when it comes to levelling up.
