Today, Adam and Chris discuss Chris’ interview with the prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer.
The Prime Minister sat down for an extended conversation with Chris following the resignation of his defence secretary John Healey yesterday over disagreements about the government’s new Defence Investment Plan.
