Keir Starmer is close to completing his first busy week as British Prime Minister, appointing his first cabinet and junior ministers - with some surprises.
Mr Starmer is now in Washington DC attending the NATO Summit - where Ukraine and defence spending is the main talking point.
Meanwhile there is tension and bickering among the Tories ahead of the party's leadership contest.
