Summary
As world leaders gather at the G7 summit – what's Keir Starmer’s top priority? With tensions in the Middle East, a trade dispute with China, a continuing war in Ukraine and Russia’s apparent involvement in arson attacks on homes and a car linked to Keir Starmer, the PM has his hands full. Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy assess whether Starmer can turn high-level diplomacy into meaningful progress. The duo also examine the latest polling data, which suggests Andy Burnham remains the only Labour figure the public sees as a potentially stronger Prime Minister than Starmer. Plus, does Wes Streeting have the support to mount a leadership challenge if Labour's succession debate begins?
