I stand corrected. The Downing Street spokesperson was asked whether @RachelReevesMP would be in post until the next election & replied "yes".

It was painful to watch @RachelReevesMP looking increasingly distraught & in tears during PMQs. Her team insist that it was because of personal not political worries. Some will be sceptical BUT I recall watching & reporting on Tony Blair being comforted by colleagues who patted.

This evening in Downing Street I will sit down with the Prime Minister to record his only in-depth broadcast interview to mark one year in power for “Political Thinking with Nick Robinson”. It’s been in the diary for many weeks. I’ll be asking him what he’s learned from the past

He’s a pilot who flew missions over Iraq but warns against “forever wars”; a man born in poverty who wants a return to the values of the “greatest generation”; the ex chair of the Freedom Caucus which thinks that cutting the size of the state & a return to traditional values are.

Do Labour MPs rebelling against government plans to cut the soaring welfare bill want delays to the proposed cuts, different cuts or no cuts at all? That’s what I tried to find out this morning.

Woke at first light on Lowestoft beach to the news that the US has entered the war against Iran by bombing its nuclear facilities. Trump hopes that it will be enough to make the world safer & signal to the Iranians that they now need to make peace but war rarely follows the plan

The Shadow Chancellor @MelJStride has called for more thoughtfulness in politics. He says we’d all benefit if politicians spent more time thinking about the nation’s problems. We explore this on Political Thinking & I ask him to tell me what he admired about @RachelReevesMP.
