Description

Can Labour make lasting political capital from Boris Johnson's texts with James Dyson?

Stephen Bush and Ailbhe Rea discuss the fallout of leaked texts from the Prime Minister's phone, and whether it is an effective opposition attack line.

Then, in You Ask Us, they take your questions on whether we're heading for a poll on a united Ireland.
