PM Starmer has just arrived in Washington to meet President Biden for the first time.

He’s there to talk NATO - and our commitment to Ukraine. But questions about our own defence spending will pursue him.
We’ll talk to the shadow foreign secretary Andrew Mitchell about Sir Keir's first week and the Tories last (in government for now). What lessons are his own party gleaning from their election defeat?
And we reflect on billionaire brexiteer household appliance maker James Dyson’s fortunes as he fires a thousand people.
