Summary
This week, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones tells Trevor what the government expects from a possible reopening of the Strait of Hormuz - and denies any link between Russian sanctions and UK fuel supplies. He also sets out Labour’s plans for VAT cuts as part of the party’s “summer of fun.”
Reform’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick defends proposals to cut tax on overtime and outlines the party’s wider immigration policies.
With the UK easing restrictions on Russian oil while the war continues, we ask whether Ukraine still feels supported - Trevor speaks to Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik.
And on the panel this week: former Labour adviser John McTernan, ex Boris Johnson aide Jo Tanner, and Times journalist and Reform supporter Tim Montgomerie.
