This week brought the welcome news that the first coronavirus vaccine has been approved for use in the UK.

In an interview with HuffPost UK, the Labour leader says that he is not ditching his campaign pledge and may be even "bolder".

Frontrunner for the Labour leadership role, Keir Starmer speaks with Paul Waugh in Westminster about his campaign to lead the Labour party. The Shadow Brexit Secretary discusses allowing people back into the party following their disastrous general election, how domestic violence responses need reform and how social care is the scandal of our modern age.
