Who is to blame for two more inmates being wrongly freed from prison? The Conservatives attempted a mic drop moment with David Lammy this week by trying to get the Justice Secretary to admit to it live in the House of Commons.
So why did Lammy avoid the question five times? And when 262 prisoners were released by mistake in the year to March – how is this happening every week?
At the very least, Harriet sees the saga as an opportunity for the government to sort out the prison service.
Plus Beth, Ruth and Harriet are joined by pollster Luke Tryl, and a group of voters who tell us why they’re not convinced by the Prime Minister so far.
So how tricky is this budget going to be for Rachel Reeves when most people’s top worry is the cost of living? Can she actually put up taxes? And will more people just end up supporting Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski?
Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.
