Following the defection of the Conservative MP Natalie Elphicke to Labour, Beth, Ruth and Jess discuss the surprise move and whether it could have been handled differently by Sir Keir Starmer.
They also talk about Beth's interview with the former immigration minister Robert Jenrick and his warnings about Reform UK.
Plus, how significant was the defeat of the former Conservative mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street? Beth and Jess were both there to tell the story.
And they answer a question on Labour and the Muslim vote, and what the party can do to restore confidence and trust.
