What can Labour do to solve things and how much work is needed? Penelope Gibbs, director of Transform Justice, joins the panel. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, Oasis are back – what else would the panel definitely maybe like to see return from the ’90s? • Get exclusive Nord VPN deal here - nordvpn.com/ohgodwhatnow.
