Episode description

Defence and security is one of the areas where the Conservatives are still more trusted than Labour by the public. With big questions looming over Ukraine, defence spending and the threat from China, can they overtake them?


Matt speaks to Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey, former Chief of the General Staff Lord Dannatt, and Elisabeth Braw from the American Enterprise Institute.


Plus: Columnists Libby Purves and Rachel Sylvester discuss whether the government will increase benefits in line with inflation, whether to ban student loans for those with low grades, and how residents in the New Forest are teaming up to deter criminals.
