Andy Burnham is closing in on Downing Street as Nigel Farage endures a tricky political week.
But does Burnham actually have a mandate to be Prime Minister? Or should we have a general election?
Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman give their takes on what Burnham’s first 100 Days could look like and who might be in his cabinet, including the all-important role of chancellor. Harriet says one of her picks for the job has to prove his credibility.
And with more scrutiny on Nigel Farage’s £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne – how is Farage reacting?
Farage has said he is "absolutely convinced I’ve done nothing wrong in any way at all" and he has "taken zero in personal expenses" since being elected in July 2024
"I’m very careful and very cautious about these things," he said. "I believe it to be a wholly private matter, the standards commissioner may take a different view."
