After the missile strike

Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.

Overnight, military action in the Middle East escalated further, with Iran firing hundreds of missiles at Israel in response to Israel's ground incursion of Lebanon. PM Sir Keir Starmer has condemned the attack by Iran, while also encouraging UK nationals still in Lebanon to leave. But is this military escalation by nations in the Middle East a failure of Western diplomacy to prevent it?

Jack and Sam also discuss the last day of the Conservative party conference in Birmingham, with the four leadership hopefuls, Tom Tugendhat, James Cleverly, Robert Jenrick, and Kemi Badenoch, giving speeches.
