Labour v The Unions
Today, the leader of the Unite union says Labour is not defending working people and they are turning away from the party "in droves".
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner was yesterday suspended by the union - and Unite’s General Secretary Sharon Graham says Labour should be ‘seriously concerned’ after the union voted to potentially rethink its relationship with the party, which could result in it formally cutting ties and funding.
And Paddy and Laura give an update on what we know what happened to the Air India plane crash that killed 260 people in June.
