This is Vicki Young with The Week in Westminster,

where as we head towards the end of the parliamentary year, Labour MPs and ministers might be looking forward to some respite.

The return to power after 14 years hasn't been smooth.

Global instability has certainly thrown up many challenges, but there have been

self-inflicted wounds too. After just a year in power, some of Kirstarmer's troops have already

got a taste for rebellion. Labor and the Conservatives have been fending off attacks from Nigel Farage,

who claims his Reform UK party, is now the real opposition.

There's a lot to talk about with my guests, George Parker, the political editor of the Financial

Times, Guardian columnist Gabby Hinsliff, and Christopher Hope, political editor of GB News and

Telegraph columnist. First, let's remind ourselves of some of the key political moments

of the past 12 months. I accepted an invitation from His Majesty the King to form the next

government of this great nation. Those not in receipt of pension credit or certain other means-tested benefits will no longer

receive the winter fuel payment from this year onwards.

Time and again we Conservatives warned Labour would tax, borrow and spend far beyond

what they were telling the country.

The result was Kebby Badenock, 53,806 votes, and Robert Jenrick, 41,000

388.

It is the most enormous honour to be elected to this role, to lead the party that I love.

This is a letter from his majesty the King, and that says it Windsor.

That's really something.

Yes.

What I haven't got yet is your answer.
