Rishi Sunak is using record inflation to justify austerity 2.0. We ask James Meadway if that makes economic sense.

Plus: Trump launches his 2024 presidential election bid; and the shameful neglect by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing that led to the death of a 2-year-old.

With Michael Walker and Dalia Gebrial.
