44:35Now PlayingAva and Laura sit down to unpack a notably tense session of PMQs after Keir Starmer faced off against Kemi Badenoch in one of the pair's sharper exchanges in recent weeks.
Starmer responded to Badenoch's opening attack on the government’s handling of NHS strikes and lost appointments by challenging her record on issues ranging from maternity pay to the minimum wage and her support for Liz Truss.
Ava and Laura consider the impact of the looming doctors’ strike, the pressures on public sector workers, and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis that has left many families struggling as Christmas approaches.
This week’s session also includes questions from Rachael Maskell on child poverty and early-years support, Ed Davey on the future of the UK’s relationship with the EU and the case for a customs union, and Sojan Joseph on NHS capacity and its dispute with the BMA.
