Today we look at whether the government is about to row back on another policy - the two-child benefit cap. It prevents parents from claiming universal credit or child tax credit for a third child, with a few exemptions. Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg this morning, the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner refused to confirm whether it was going to be scrapped. Rayner also responded to a story in The Telegraph this week, after the paper got hold of a document that suggests she’s is at odds with the chancellor over economic policy. And Laura, Paddy and Henry discuss how safe Kemi Badenoch is as leader of the opposition. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
