Episode description

A senior cabinet minister has denied the Conservative Party has a problem with race after accepting at least £10m from a donor who is accused of racism.

The Transport Secretary Mark Harper was talking to Laura.

Paddy’s been speaking to Labour’s Dame Margaret Beckett - who first served under Harold Wilson’s government in the 1970s, and a youth parliament member Dev Sharma who said he’s no longer considering a career in politics due to polarisation.

Henry Zeffman helps the two of them unpack the political talking points of the day, as well as Laura’s interview with the brother of Princess Diana, Earl Spencer.
