Last week it was the failed welfare bill causing an embarrassing rebellion for the government. And now this week, Labour have set themselves up for more anarchy on the back benches with their plans to scrap support for children with special educational needs.
Rachel Reeves has to find £5 billion to fill her black hole, and Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson discuss the Chancellor’s conundrum, whether they could end up raising money through a wealth tax, and how Starmer’s government has to get better at party management.
And on the anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings, we speak to Gordon Rayner about his Telegraph exclusive investigation into Samantha Lewthwaite aka the “White Widow”, who married one of the bombers before vanishing and joining forces with the terror group Al-Shabaab, becoming one of Britain’s most wanted terror suspects.
