About this episode
Rishi Sunak struggles to deflect questions about a Tory donor's racist comments, and accuses of Keir Starmer of double standards. But have government communications descended into the kind of 'inept catastrophe' we saw during the Boris Johnson years?
Matt Chorley is joined by Tim Shipman, Hugo Rifkind and Lara Spirit to pause and unpack the exchanges from the Commons chamber.
Plus: Columnists Alice Thomson and Robert Crampton discuss the NHS puberty blocker ban, state school pupils making it in the arts, and whether Keir Starmer was right to open up about his family.
