Rishi Sunak: embattled or beleaguered?

As the prime minister tries to shake off rumours of a Tory coup and faces more delays to his Rwanda legislation - Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Jess Phillips discuss where his leadership is at.

What could happen if the local elections on May 2nd end badly for Rishi Sunak?

Although he's standing down, they think Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar is having a better week – was this a good time for him to go?

And two politicians answer a listener question about why politicians never answer the question.
