Our man in Westminster James Millar is joined by SNP MP Ian Blackford and Westminster watcher Rob Merrick to discuss Jeremy Corbyn’s latest woes, what’s wrong with politics and the issue that has seen hundreds of women contact The Sunday Post – government plans to put back women’s retirement age.
Ahead of a key debate on the issue of women’s pension age SNP pensions spokesman Ian Blackford, who will wind up the debate, talks to us about why the government must act to stop the unfairness to women born in the 1950s and what his party’s position is.
Plus there’s praise for the campaign group taking on the government and a comparison between George Osborne and Tony Blair.
