On what\u2019s thought to be the biggest single day of industrial action for a decade, we talk to Len McCluskey, the former leader of Britain\u2019s biggest union, Unite.

He tells Adam what he thinks Sir Keir Starmer should be doing differently in response, and how he\u2019d be trying to use \u2018leverage\u2019 in negotiations.

Adam also speaks to Americast presenter Sarah Smith about the funeral of Tyre Nichols, who died in Memphis last week after a beating by police.

Today's episode was presented by Adam Fleming and was made by Tim Walklate with Chris Flynn, Miranda Slade and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The editor was Damon Rose.
