Today, we look at the government’s plans to cut, what the Prime Minister has called, the “bulging benefits bill”. Speaking to Laura on her Sunday morning show - the Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall outlined Labour’s plan “to get Britain working”. Laura, Paddy and Nick Watt of Newsnight discuss how similar this approach is to the previous governments. And, how will it be received by their own party? Plus, COP29 ended with richer countries agreeing to pay developing nations $300 billion a year by 2035 to help them tackle climate change. The negotiations overran by 30 hours and the deal has been criticised as “too little, too late”. Host of the BBC’s Climate Question podcast Graihagh Jackson joins to discuss.

There's no Henry today, so we've been joined in the studio by Nick Watt.
Lovely Nick Watt.
Lovely with us on a Sunday hello.
Yes, and much politics to get to.
Also, there's been a classic last minute cliffhanger deal at an international conference.
There has.
Imagine at a summit it might be all on and then all off and then all on and then all off and then miraculously at the last minute.
