Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics. After Chancellor Rachel Reeves was seen visibly sobbing in PMQs, the Prime Minister last night confirmed she would be Chancellor for a long time to come – but will that be enough to calm fears in the markets? And what do we think is really going on with the Chancellor? Sam and Anne discuss. And what about Keir Starmer’s fate – are some in his own party questioning his longevity? Also, the NHS 10-year plan includes the creation of 200 new neighbourhood health centres as well as improvements to the NHS app – but does it improve the fundamentals?

How does Keir Starmer get out of this one?
The Prime Minister fended off losing a Commons vote on welfare changes but wakes up with a massive repair job to do within his party – and economically. Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy wonder what the consequences will be after those last-minute concessions to keep Labour MPs on side. There’ll be new ways of balancing the finances (could they be filling a black hole by sending more?) but ALSO a post-mortem of how the government misjudged the mood of its own MPs.
