21:47Now PlayingSky News’ Sam Coates and Poltico’s Anne McElvoy hold their hands up on this episode – that they didn’t see Keir Starmer’s big defence announcement coming yesterday morning.
The plan to shift defence spending to 3% of GDP (and a new Downing Street podium slogan) is a pivot for the PM.
Sam and Anne discuss the reasons behind it - is this all about having enough to say to Donald Trump in Washington this week? Or is there a glimmer of the vision for Blue Labour Starmer showing through too?
They also go over the reaction to the cuts to the international aid budget and whether the politics of that move could be easier for Labour than people might think.
Elsewhere, NHS England needs a new boss – will that be the gateway for the reforms which Wes Streeting has talked about?
