Burnham, bonds and borrowing
As the cost of government borrowing continues to rise, how serious is the position the UK government is in and does the prime minister have a plan for gripping it?\n\nAn 'absolute cover-up'. A former Conservative defence minister tells Newsnight that MOD officials deliberately withheld information about nuclear test veterans’ medical records and that some of the lines he gave to Parliament, based on briefings, were a 'complete lie'.\n\nWith Victoria Derbyshire.
