The battle of the summits?

  • Summary

  • Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.

    Two important summits this week - one the prime minister is at, one he isn't. Sir Keir Starmer is in Samoa for a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), but Russian President Vladimir Putin has greeted more than 20 heads of state at the BRICS summit of emerging economies, including some of those who should be with Sir Keir.

    The PM's appearance is underpinned by a row about reparations for the UK's historical role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Sir Keir has insisted the Commonwealth needs to face forward, not look backward, but how will that land?

    And as Rachel Reeves prepares to tell the IMF about changes to fiscal rules, are we heading towards a "mixed message" budget? Jack and Sam discuss her visit to Washington.
