Join BBC Political Editor Chris Mason as he attended Keir Starmer’s last international venture as prime minister, the Nato Summit in Turkey. What was expected to be a trip focused on defence spending and wider geopolitics, turned into Chris having to respond to the breaking news that Nigel Farage was resigning and triggering a by-election. With the major parties announcing they will not put forward candidates, watch as the unlikely character of Count Binface becomes a central figure in this unfolding media storm.
