Camilla and Tim are joined by Al Carns, the former armed forces minister who followed his boss John Healey in resigning last week over Keir Starmer’s inadequate Defence Investment Plan.

I just want to say that I'm back with a new podcast, Feedback with Ira Madison III. Every Thursday, I'll dissect whatever's taking over my group chat, like who Wes Wilson from Summer House is banging this week, whether film criticism and Black art can actually coexist, why every man on a dating app is either illiterate or reading Middlemarch with no in-between, and whatever the hell is going on with heated rivalry fans on the internet.
