The home secretary is going hard on immigration and she's taking a lot of people with her, not least Kemi Badenoch and the Reform party. Shabana Mahmood is using her identity – as a British Asian Muslim – to prove why she understands the migration problem in the country better than most. So how extreme are her new policies, modelled on the Danish system? Can she persuade the whole Labour party that they're not going too far, when they've spent years calling Tory policies "racist"? And as a tough, plain speaking and passionate politician, is she the new Margaret Thatcher? And could she pose a threat to Keir Starmer now the Labour Party is looking beyond him as leader? Plus – Harriet thinks the chancellor will scrap the two child benefit cap entirely at next week's budget – but is that actually popular with the party? Or are Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves bending to the demands of their backbenchers? Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.
