Today, we look at an eventful first week in charge for Keir Starmer, and tension already surfacing in the Tory leadership contest.
The prime minister has faced questions over the U.S. president’s health at a Nato summit, committed to releasing prisoners early and is facing pressure over defence spending promises.
Laura, Paddy and Adam also give us their take on the latest in the Tory leadership race, and how Suella v Kemi has shaped up this week.
