Do Reform want to bring back the death penalty?

Reform MP Rupert Lowe has called for the death penalty to be re-established in the wake of the sentencing of the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana. With the Assisted Dying Bill still making its way through Parliament, it has been decades since the topic of death has been so hotly debated by MPs. Katy Balls speaks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman about the political reaction to Rudakubana's sentencing.
