After the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition met across the despatch box for the first time in 2023, Anoosh Chakelian is joined by the New Statesman’s Political Editor Andrew Marr and Freddie Hayward to analyse whether Rishi Sunak can start turning his polling figures around.

Then in You Ask Us, they answer a listener’s question on how Labour is responding to the government’s anti-strike legislation.
