As Andy Burnham hops around on the world stage, is Alan Milburn about to cause the prime minister’s biggest political storm yet?
With less than a week until the long-awaited Milburn review is released, the former health secretary is proposing a welfare revolution with a radical overhaul of the current system – including stripping under-24s of existing disability benefits as well as imposing tighter and tougher conditions.
With billions at stake, Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy look at the looming upheaval, the political cost and whether it could trigger a fresh Labour rebellion.
Plus, as the PM visits the European Political Community in Ireland, the duo look at the latest efforts to stop the war in Ukraine and whether the UK will align more or less with the European Union.
