Summary
After a targeted attack on Shabana Mahmood’s immigration reforms, has Angela Rayner forced another climbdown from the Starmer premiership? Rayner allies are eyeing her return to frontline politics before the May elections – will Rachel Reeves be her next target? And does the Prime Minister really need his former deputy’s support? Sam and Anne consider all the factors and assess how credible a Rayner vision for Britain would be. Elsewhere, the UK launches a 50% tariff on all steel goods being imported into the country, but what is the move trying to achieve? Plus, what does the public really think of the policing system – and is the minister responsible immune from the issues?
