43:25Now PlayingSummer is here and the government is worrying about riots on the streets.
In their final episode of this political term, Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman unpack No 10's briefing this week that Angela Rayner has warned about the risk of civil unrest, almost a year on from the murders in Southport that sparked a summer of violent protests. So what is the government's strategy?
And what's really going on in towns like Epping, where asylum hotels have sparked backlash this week?
Plus, the return of Sir James Cleverley to the Tory front bench: is this the start of a Conservative revival or just more reshuffling?
