Shadow Culture Secretary Jo Stevens calls on the government to improve the test and trace system so students can come home for Christmas.

She was also asked by Sophy Ridge about reports that former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre could be the next head of Ofcom, while ex-Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore could be the next chair of the BBC.

Ms Stevens said: "I think the whole idea of announcing appointments before a process has actually taken place is a bit strange.

"The public will be wondering where the government's priorities are in this - why are they worrying and interfering in an open appointment process?"
