The collapse of construction giant Carillion dominated Prime Minister’s questions.Jeremy Corbyn has described the demise of the firm as a “watershed moment” and called for Theresa May to end the “costly racket” of contracting out.

In this week’s Ayes to the Left podcast the Mirror’s Kevin Maguire, Jason Beattie and Nicola Bartlett discuss the political implications of Carillion going into liquidation.

They talk about the flaws of privatisation, how corporate giants are awarded lucrative state contracts and why the taxpayers end up paying the bill.

The Mirror’s political experts also give their verdicts on the performances of Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May at PMQs.  

The Labour leader spoke with real passion but did he put the Prime Minister under pressure? 

Listen also to a discussion on Tory MP Ben Bradley who said the unemployed should have vasectomies. 

Did he deserve to be raked over the coals for views he expressed before becoming an MP? 

Finally, they talk about the elections to Labour’s national executive committee of three Corbyn supporters and what it means for relations in the party. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
