We look at how Westminster is reacting to the US and UK airstrikes in Yemen.

Laura and Paddy discuss why the UK got involved, Sunak’s decision not to ask Parliament first, and Labour backing the military action.

Laura’s got Sir Keir Starmer on her BBC One show on Sunday, and the Sunday Times’ Gabriel Pogrund is currently writing a book about him. Gabriel joins to give Newscasters the inside track on what’s going on inside the Labour party.
