Today, we look at what Sir Keir Starmer’s promise to recognise a Palestinian state means. Laura and Paddy are joined by political correspondent Joe Pike to discuss the arguments for and against the move. And we discuss the Liberal Democrat’s party conference, and whether Ed Davey’s stunts are playing well with voters and members.
