Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is preparing to unveil one of the government's most contentious policies: a major crackdown on legal migration. This announcement comes exactly one year after the plans were first proposed, raising questions about whether Labour has successfully quashed internal rebellion regarding the issue.
Analysts Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy are examining the extent of Angela Rayner's influence on the Prime Minister's position as these domestic political battles unfold. The timing of Mahmood's policy reveal coincides with significant diplomatic challenges for the government leadership.
As Andy Burnham travels to the Caribbean, the Commonwealth Summit is getting underway in Antigua. The Prime Minister faces several international issues to address during this period, including potential reparations for slavery and the growing influence of both the United States and China over the Caribbean region.
