Inflation has reached its highest level since January 2024, fuelled by soaring air fares and rising food prices.

Despite Keir Starmer’s repeated claims that Labour are bringing inflation down, the figures are saying otherwise, laying the ground for a tax grab from the Chancellor Rachel Reeves which will attack the middle-classes.

Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss how we got into this mess, the latest immigration data, and Kemi Badenoch’s future as the leader of the Tories.

And they’ll also be joined by Maurice Glasman, the Labour peer, academic and the man behind “Blue Labour”, who has spent years challenging his own party. He tells us what he thinks about Labour’s first year in Government, his latest trip to Ukraine and why phone snatchers should be publicly humiliated.
