Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics. As Sir Keir Starmer waves goodbye to the Chagos Islands and his planned cuts to the winter fuel allowance, Sam and Anne assess what it all means. How much “backseat driving” on the winter fuel U-turn has come from former chancellor Gordon Brown? And what’s the best way to implement a volte face?
