UK Bans (Some) Arms Sales to Israel
And Ofsted, a winter fuel row & a tory leadership contest!
Today we look at what鈥檚 on the political agenda as Parliament returns.
Adam and Chris discuss the government鈥檚 decision to suspend some arms exports to Israel and explore the introduction of a new system for grading schools in England. Plus are the Labour backbenches gearing up for a rebellion? An early day motion has been tabled proposing delaying changes to the Winter Fuel Payment.
