Hello and

Cyndi You, and I'm Cindy You and I'm joined by James Hill and Isabel Hardman.

Now James is another Wednesday which means that there was

Prime Minister's questions everyone's favorite time of week this lunchtime. What

happened? Well everyone thought this was going to be yet another defection

today third week in a row and so the labor

MPs really played up to this off the back of a suggestion from daily mirror

journalist Mikey Smith which is that every time a Tory came in towards the start they

would go ooh as if an imminent defection was pending

including the chief whip Simon Hart's an improbable candidate for such a cause but after

that it's sort of then got into a bit of a knock about some folks on justice which we're going to talk about but also

Kia Starr were really going after this frankly farcical row over Lagnards and talking about how

Ritchie was going around like a quote jumped up milk monitor, confiscating

colourful lanyards, alam Esther McVeigh.

So it was quite a, you know, sort of fun fairly jocular PMQs today with some you know serious

unblowing issues about justice which soon out was able to kind of you know bat off and

I thought he was well can talk us through all that now.

Yeah Isabel tell us about the exchange between Cinec and Starmen today.
