The government unveils its plan for prisons, promising to solve overcrowding and 'keep our streets safe' by building thousands of new cells. Will it work? And could it end up sending fewer people to prison by scrapping shorter jail terms? An ex-offender and a retired chief prisons inspector join us live. Plus, after Nigel Farage bags a billionaire defector to Reform UK, should the major parties be worried? With Katie Razzall.
