Where is Boris Johnson's lawyer?

from The Rundown by PoliticsHome · host PoliticsHome

Emily Thornberry, Labour's shadow attorney general, joins PoliticsHome's Eleanor Langford and Adam Payne on this week's episode of The Rundown, and asks "where is Boris Johnson's lawyer?" after Downing Street spent days wrangling over whether 'partygate' fine recipients broke the law. This week's episode drops as key changes likely to exacerbate the cost-of-living crisis come into effect – namely the rise in National Insurance contributions, and new, much higher energy costs. Thornberry told PoliticsHome she's already hearing fear on the doorstep about bills rising, with one constituent talking her through her latest water charges, worried about how she would pay it. Thornberry explained why she voted this week to allow at-home access to early medical abortion, and how she held her own personal "unofficial whipping operation" shouting "pro-choice this way!" after MPs were given a free vote on the issue. Plus she tells us which former Cabinet minister used to ask her which was the right way to vote on women's rights.
