Ben Wright is joined by the Labour backbencher Jo White; Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston; and Lib Dem Foreign Affairs spokesman Calum Miller. They discuss the turmoil caused by the decision to block Andy Burnham from seeking re-election to Parliament - with other MPs from across the Labour party giving their views too. The panel also discuss the Prime Minister's forthcoming visit to China and whether now is the right time for the UK to seek closer ties. And Ben speaks to the First Civil Service Commissioner, Baroness Gisela Stuart, about recent criticism of Whitehall and whether it's up to the job of modern government. Kevin Schofield - political editor of Huffpost UK - brings additional expertise and analysis.
