Then, we feel obligated to get you across the significance of the result in the Farrer by-election last weekend. We’ll cover what came out of Trump’s China visit as well. Lots of politics this week, but never fear - Eurovision provides some relief, as does the American Country Music Awards, and a nostalgic recommendation from Claire.
