Will Keir Starmer replace his Chancellor?

In one fell swoop the Bank of England cut interest rates today and worse, their forecast for growth. They now believe the economy will grow at HALF the rate originally predicted. And the bank is pointing the finger at the Chancellors tax rises in the last budget as the problem. Is Rachel Reeves in trouble? Is the country? And will the Prime Minister stick by her as Chancellor?

Later, Kemi Badenoch has a new test for immigrants coming to Britain. Can they prove that they will give more back to the country financially than they take out ?
