On what’s thought to be the biggest single day of industrial action for a decade, we talk to Len McCluskey, the former leader of Britain’s biggest union, Unite.
He tells Adam what he thinks Sir Keir Starmer should be doing differently in response, and how he’d be trying to use ‘leverage’ in negotiations.
Adam also speaks to Americast presenter Sarah Smith about the funeral of Tyre Nichols, who died in Memphis last week after a beating by police.
Today's episode was presented by Adam Fleming and was made by Tim Walklate with Chris Flynn, Miranda Slade and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The editor was Damon Rose.
