Summary
Does Donald Trump always chicken out or is Keir Starmer in the dark about what is going to happen next in the Middle East? The U.S. President has paused military action in Iran for five days, but pressure remains on the government to support those struggling with energy bills. Sam and Anne unpack a turbulent 24 hours for the Prime Minister - examining how far the Chancellor can go to help those in need and whether she can afford it. Has Rachel Reeves learnt the lessons from Liz Truss – can she steady the markets and are there tricky decision coming down the line? Elsewhere, we have our weekly check-in on the polls – has the Starmer drama died down? Plus, Sam has a deep dive investigation in local councils wasting money on “unreasonable” planning decisions.
