The news to look out for this week: Why did Sue Gray have to go and what will her departure mean for Starmer and his government? And the Tory leadership contest rolls on… should we care? Plus, is there any end in sight to conflict in the Middle East, one year on from October 7th? Ros Taylor and Gavin Esler discuss the stories to pay attention to in the week ahead.

• “Running a political campaign is not the same as running a government.”

• “The Tory leadership contest is performative politics at its worst… the membership do not represent the 68 million of us.”

• “The situation in Gaza is one of the greatest human catastrophes of our time.”
