Tackling terrorism – Politics Weekly podcast

Heather Stewart is joined by the Guardian's home affairs editor Alan Travis to discuss the government's response to the Manchester attack and how the main parties differ in their approach to tackling terrorism. Plus: Larry Elliott and Stephen King on the retreat of globalisation

Britain's terrorism threat level was raised to critical after the attack in Manchester this week and soldiers were placed under the command of police on Britain's streets. With less than two weeks of the election campaign remaining, security and counter-terrorism have risen to the top of the political agenda.

Joining Heather Stewart is the Guardian's home affairs editor, Alan Travis, who has been through the party manifestos to compare how each would tackle terrorism.
