Hello, I'm Sean Curran, and this is yesterday in Parliament from BBC Radio 4.

By the time you listen to this, Keir Stama will have arrived in Washington for his meeting with President Trump.

MPs struck a note of consensus on Wednesday, the 26th of February, wishing the Prime Minister well.

Secere Starmer's pre-travel to-do list included his regular visit to the Commons.

from 2.3% of the national income to 2.5% by 2027.

Now that some of the dust had settled, Kemi Badenock had some questions about the numbers.

Over the weekend, I suggested to the Prime Minister that he cut the aid budget,

The Speaker, it's the fastest response.

Kier Stama gave the Conservative leader the brush off.

She didn't feature in my thinking at all.
