Today, we once again turn to the row over gifts given to Labour politicians. The Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, tells Laura she doesn’t believe she broke any rules after accepting free outfits, and a stay in a New York apartment owned by a Labour donor. Meanwhile, the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson defends the use of her £14,000 donation from Labour donor Lord Alli. Will this story continue to dominate the narrative as the Labour party kicks off its party conference in Liverpool?

BBC sounds music radio podcasts Paddy, are you there?
I certainly am.
There's probably a delay because Liverpool to London by modern tech means you'll sound like you're in space.
Space?
Henry, are you there?
I am, and I am also in Liverpool, but about 20 minutes away from Laura, so I don't know whether that means a slightly shorter delay.
Well, we're not in space, but we are together for Sunday's edition of newscast.
And there's a lot of news around, isn't there?
It's the first proper full day, I suppose, of the Labour party conference, and it's getting going.
But more stories this morning about donations and holidays and dresses and awkward, embarrassing things that the labor party really wishes would just go away.
