Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Dan Bloom look at the day ahead in British politics.
Today Sir Keir Starmer is on the NIMBY offensive to boost economic growth, with plans to reduce the number of times people can go to the courts to block infrastructure schemes. The government hopes it will mean projects like nuclear power stations, wind farms and railway lines can call get built quicker. But can they do it and will it work?
Meanwhile with latest borrowing figures surprisingly high, Rachel Reeves is still under a lot of pressure to meet her fiscal rules. But Sam explains why welfare cuts won’t help her at the spring statement.
The biggest news of the day though will of course be the sentencing of Axel Rudakubana for the Southport murders. With more details of his horrific crimes to be revealed then, Sam and Dan discuss the continuing political fallout.
