Pippa Crerar of The Guardian reviews the week in Westminster.
Political editor of The Guardian, Pippa Crerar, looks back at the week in which Rishi Sunak completed 100 days in office. As Tory MPs make fresh calls for tax cuts following a bleak economic forecast from the International Monetary Fund, Pippa speaks to Sir Jake Berry, briefly party chairman under Liz Truss; and David Gauke, a cabinet minister under Theresa May. She is also joined by former education secretary, Justine Greening; and Labour MP and ex-teacher Emma Hardy, to discuss the teachers' strike and wider industrial unrest. The pollster James Johnson looks at public attitudes to Brexit three years after Britain left the EU. And, as Westminster insiders debate whether the current political moment is more like 1992 or 1997, Pippa brings together Lord Mandelson, architect of New Labour, and Rachel Wolf, co-author of the 2019 Conservative manifesto.
