Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy have their guide to the day ahead in British politics.   
   
After an extraordinary 96 hours on the world stage, Sir Keir Starmer faces his next challenge: a grilling from MPs in the Commons. 

In today's episode, Sam and Anne break down how the prime minister positioned himself at the heart of the Ukraine crisis, seizing the moment as mediator between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump, hosting a major European summit, and shaping the "coalition of the willing".

But how does Starmer's performance play outside Britain? Anne reports from Berlin on how he is viewed in Europe, while Sam lays out the key questions MPs will throw at him today.

Plus, Sam and Anne outline what to expect from the rest of the week, from defence spending to farmers' protests and yet another leasehold reform plan.
