Joining James Cook, are Faisal Islam - who’s come straight from interviewing the Prime Minister - and Dharshini David to discuss what it all means: for you, for the Prime Minister’s electoral fortunes and for the economy. And we discuss the latest twist in the news surrounding the Princess of Wales. James speaks to Russell Myers, Daily Mirror Royal Editor, who broke the story reporting an alleged breach at the private hospital where Kate received treatment.
