Good morning, it’s George here. Rachel Reeves is seeking to mask cabinet divisions over next week’s Spending Review by announcing £15bn of investment for transport outside London (Ed Miliband, Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper have yet to settle their budgets with the Chancellor).

Good morning, it’s George here. Across Westminster, the political fallout from Labour’s election defeats is reverberating. Below I explore the renewed backlash against the winter fuel payment cuts and the dilemmas they pose for Keir Starmer. In 1976, as Harold Wilson announced his surprise resignation, Labour was wracked by questions over its future direction. A vivid new play, The Gang of Three, depicts the fate of a trio of modernising candidates: Denis Healey, Roy Jenkins and Anthony Crosland.
