Will the long-awaited Defence Investment Plan be the Prime Minister’s final and most contentious act? Months of delays, a multi-billion-pound funding gap and the resignation of his Defence Secretary has Keir Starmer done enough to satisfy his military chiefs? Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy unpack the political and strategic stakes and assess how NATO allies, not least Donald Trump, will make of the plans. Elsewhere, with the PM’s departure from No10 on the horizon, is Labour already seeing a polling bounce? And, after more than two years of disruption has Health Secretary – James Murray – finally succeeded where others have failed by bringing the resident doctors strike to an end?
