Today, we discuss the first post-election edition of Prime Minister’s Questions - and the first since Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak swapped places. Adam is joined by Chris and Alex to talk through the day’s political news, including PMQs, the seven Labour MPs who have been suspended after voting against the government and Baroness Eluned Morgan being elected as the new leader of Welsh Labour. And, why has the album ‘brat’ by British popstar Charli XCX inspired so many memes about Vice-President Kamala Harris? Adam enlightens Chris on memes and the concept of brat summer.
