• The Trump-Putin friendship goes on ice

  Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy present their guide to the day ahead in British politics.  Keir Starmer’s team spend the day trying to work out how the Trump-Putin phone call really went down. Could the UK end up sending more military support to Ukraine before any pause in fighting? The idea of an ice hockey game apparently came up on the call – Anne has an important history lesson on that. Around Westminster, it’s PMQs but the Labour charm offensive to convince its backbenchers of its welfare reforms goes on.

  Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy present their guide to the day ahead in British politics.  It’s a big day for more than one reason.

How will Labour make their arguments in response – and will that be a new test for the Keir Starmer-Ed Miliband dynamic? On welfare, Sam and Anne go through the new details we’ll hear today.
