Tomorrow voters in three English constituencies will head to the polls. Will the good news on inflation and car plants help Rishi Sunak? Will the backlash over child benefits harm Keir Starmer?

Or will none of it make any difference? Has the county already found an inflection point where it's looking for change? We hear from the pollster Lord Andrew Cooper.

And we talk to Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo about Barbie and her fall from paradise.

Keir Starmer spent the morning in Stoke-on-Trent. Not WOKE-on-Trent, as one hilarious Tory Red-wall-er reminded him.

But attempts to fire up the culture war are something Rishi Sunak wants no part in.

And recent polling suggests it's the right call. Today we look at the state of play of the two main political parties and what the numbers are currently telling us -with James Kanagasoorium of Focaldata.

After nearly a decade of stability spearheaded by Nicola Sturgeon, why do the SNP look like they're imploding? The three candidates after her job are spending day after day taking lumps out of each other. Polling suggests that the only thing that they're hurting though is their common goal: Scottish independence.

We speak to one of the candidates who's attack on the independence of the leadership process has been called 'Trumpian'. And we speak to a senior SNP MP about what this is doing to the political party that, just seven weeks ago, resembled an immovable object in the way of both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.

And for some weekend listening. We ask a Labour grandee and parliamentary history-maker what it was like to be the first female Black MP in the House of Commons.

Have the property prophets struck again?

It wasn’t so long ago that Rob & Rob sat down to make their predictions for 2022. 

Needless to say, they couldn’t have imagined the year being quite as hectic as it ended up becoming. 

So let’s take a trip back to December ‘21, and remind ourselves of Rob & Rob’s predictions for the following year and see if they were right about house prices, best places to invest, Bitcoin and much, much more.
