On a busy first day back after parliament's summer break: - Prime Minister Andy Burnham told MPs he would "bring back hope" in a speech discussing the prison early release scheme, Ukraine and growth. - Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch challenged the prime minister on defence spending and immigration. - Sir Keir Starmer announced he'd stand down as the MP for Holborn and St Pancras, triggering a by-election that Green leader Zack Polanski could contest. Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin says the ex-PM 'doesn't like being a politician'. - Nigel Farage was sworn in as an MP again after winning the Clacton by-election that was triggered when he resigned. - Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds admits "there aren't many easy wins" for the government - but dismisses those proposing "easy answers". Matt Barbet hosts the show to discuss MPs first day back with panellists Lord Michael Gove and Baroness Ayesha Hazarika. #ukpolitics #burnham #starmer #gove #polanski #badenoch #farage #davey #ca
