Rachel Reeves in ‘Bring It On Mode’

The Chancellor has backed the expansion of Heathrow and picked a
fight with bats in her pursuit of economic growth. Nick is joined
by fellow Today presenter Justin Webb to talk about his interview
with Rachel Reeves on Thursday morning’s Today programme.


They discuss her new approach, whether Keir Starmer's government
is taking a leaf out of Donald Trump’s book and why political
interviews are much better face-to-face.
