Rishi Sunak Talks to Today

Less than a day after calling the general election, Rishi Sunak
kicked off his campaign with a set-piece interview with Nick on
Today. Amol and Nick explore what clues it provides for the
coming campaign – and Nick talks though his interview strategy.
Also, with inflation now down to 2.3% we bring together two of
the leading economic thinkers from the left and the right to talk
tax-and-spend: Kate Bell, assistant general secretary of the TUC,
and Robert Colvile, director of centre-right think tank the
Centre for Policy Studies.


Plus. comedian Angela Barnes provides her moment of the week.
