Summary

Matt is joined by Daniel Finkelstein and Henry Zeffman to discuss whether Rishi Sunak's wealth is a problem after it was revealed he's being investigated by the ethics watchdog, and whether Peter Mandelson was right to tell us there's a 50-50 chance of a hung parliament.


Plus: As the government announces plans to get machetes and 'zombie knives' off the streets, Matt takes a look at the wider issue of knife crime. He speaks to to Conservative MP Anna Firth, whose predecessor Sir David Amess was stabbed to death in 2021, and to two parents who both lost their children to knife crime.
