Why are six young people taking 32 countries to court and what is Suella Braverman up to?

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Giles Whittell.

In this episode he’s joined by comedian Andy Hamilton and Tortoise editors Basia Cummings and Jess Winch to discuss Suella Braverman’s speech about migration, the Portuguese young people taking countries to court and why we’re taking more sick days.
