58:04Now PlayingFrench President Emmanuel Macron has arrived in the UK and is viewing the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum with The King and Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
It's the first time the important historical document has returned to the UK (where it was originally made) in almost a millennium.
The tapestry has been loaned to the British Museum by the French government and Burnham championed it as a sign of improved relations between the two countries.
Burnham faced his first PMQ's as prime minister, with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch asking if he could name a "single spending request to which he answered 'no'?"
Sky's political editor Beth Rigby says Burnham's "summer honeymoon is well and truly over."
Matt Barbet is joined by:
🔴Bridget Phillipson, Minister for Women and Equalities
🔴Charlotte Higgins, author of a new book on art during the Ukrainian war
🔴Baroness Thangam Debbonaire, Labour Peer
🔴Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Conservative Peer
