Is This a Rachel Reeves Reset?

Plus, President Trump says Keir Starmer is doing a “very good job”

Today, we look at what could be a very big week for the chancellor.

Laura and Paddy are joined by 91ȱ Newsnight’s political editor Nick Watt to discuss Rachel Reeves’ attempts to get growth. Including, measures for easing restrictions for wealthy non-doms and a possible approval of a third runway at Heathrow airport.

Plus, following the sentencing of the Southport killer, Laura reflects on her interview with the Conservative leader Kemi Badendoch on whether a lack of social integration played a role in the appalling crimes of Axel Rudakubana.
