Summary
Pope Leo has publicly criticised President Trump’s actions in Iran, but what does this mean for the Christian MAGA followers caught in the middle? Is the UK government divided over defence spending? And how consequential is the end of Victor Orban’s grip on Hungary, following his sweeping election defeat? Jeevan Vasagar is joined by The Observer’s Cat Neilan, John Simpson and Stephen Armstrong as they battle it out and pitch the top stories of the day. **We want to hear what you think!
