Summary
Matthew d'Ancona and Matt Kelly again respond to your queries. They discuss whether the Gaza peace deal shows that Donald Trump, despite all his manifest failings, is actually the right man at the right time, if you now need a brown paper bag for your New World cover and who Conservative MPs could coalesce around to prevent the next leadership election reaching their members.
Plus they talk Britain’s trade deal with India, whether the Princess of Wales is right to say screens are ruining family life and if they’d rather be Faithfuls or Traitors. Enjoy!
