Finally, Laura asks the home secretary if he still intends to run in the election following a mass exodus of Tory MPs following the vote announcement. Another topic broached before the end of the shadow chancellor's interview was workers rights.
"Absolutely. I love being an MP and I love being home secretary," he says. Laura asked Reeves about Labour's commitment to have an outright ban on zero hours contracts, adding that under the plans firms could still fire and rehire.
Reeves said Labour would end fire and rehire practice, but if a company was facing bankruptcy it would have to consult its workers and their unions.
Reeves said Labour has the support of trade unions, adding that the Labour government would bring back that legislation in the first 100 days.
