We also hear tributes and reaction to her death. And, Laura’s been talking to Rachel Reeves in what could be her last interview as chancellor. We discuss whether it was a pitch to keep her job, or a warning to Andy Burnham. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask 鶹 Sounds to play Newscast”.
