But rising inflation and government borrowing have both added to the pressure on him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This week, the government approved extraction from the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, and Defence Secretary Wes Streeting urged households to think about preparedness in the face of natural disasters, cyber attacks or state-sponsored terrorism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Reform UK&#8217;s Robert Jenrick and Liberal Democrat Daisy Cooper are the other political guests on the programme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">We will not be providing regular text updates this morning, but you&#8217;ll be able to follow the programme from 09:00 BST by pressing watch live above.
