Today, we look at Rishi Sunak’s hints of an autumn election and Keir Starmer’s New Year’s speech.

Did the prime minister steal the Labour leader’s political thunder with his election announcement? Adam and Chris discuss Keir Starmer’s plan to convince people that change is possible and what Rishi Sunak’s ‘working assumption’ really means.

And Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Peter Kyle MP talks about Labour’s plans for the economy, AI and the Post Office scandal.
