Does Sunak's maths plan add up?

Parliament is back from the Easter break and Rishi Sunak has taken the opportunity to reiterate his commitment to improving maths literacy in the country. Listeners will remember that the plan to make maths compulsory until 18 was first announced in Rishi's new year's speech along with his five priorities. Why is maths provision so important to him?

Also on the podcast, with local elections on the horizon, how does Tory campaigning shape up against Labour's new tactics? 

Cindy Yu speaks to Katy Balls and Isabel Hardman.
