Challenges of Interviewing the Prime Minister and Upcoming Elections

Laura’s preparing for an interview with Rishi Sunak on Sunday. She and Paddy are joined by political journalist and documentary maker Michael Cockerell, who’s interviewed nearly every prime minister from 1963 onwards.

Laura also talks about documents she’s seen showing Rishi Sunak’s doubts over the Rwanda scheme while he was chancellor.
