A Good Week For Rishi Sunak? Not Quite.
Rishi Sunak nearly had a good week. After an internal battle, the prime minister managed to get his Rwanda Bill through pretty comfortably at second reading, having already put in a good showing in front of the Covid inquiry. However, a flash of temper at PMQs rather put a downer on things.\xa0 Worse, he might face yet another by-election prompted by sleaze. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss it all.
\n
\nWhilst we were recording this episode, news broke that Prince Harry had won his phone hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). He has been awarded \xa3140,600 in damages. The implications go far beyond MGN's bank account though.
