I took part in yesterday’s edition of BBC TV’s Daily Politics show. It was broadcast a few hours before the House of Commons was due to debate the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, a much-anticipated parliamentary session which in the event descended into chaos.
The war in Gaza, including Prince William’s controversial remarks about it, took up a considerable part of the BBC show. We also covered the malfunctioning test-launch of a Trident missile, the sacking of the Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, David Neal, and the spectacular row between the Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch and the former Post Office chairman Henry Staunton. My fellow participants were the Conservative MP Steve Brine who chairs the Commons Health and Social Care Committee, the Labour peer Baroness (Frances) O’Grady and the Scottish National Party MP David Linden. Jo Coburn was in the chair. You can watch the show by clicking below.
