Expect strong resistance to any calls from the left that the scale of the change “proves” Labour could have been more radical in what they put forward. Some in his party may demand a rapid cessation of arm sales to Israel. Labour losing seats and nearly losing others to opponents standing on a pro-Gaza platform will only make those calls more urgent.Other demands may include an overt commitment to safeguard public services, a longer-term promise to remove the two-child benefit cap and even regular trade union access to No 10.

Watch this space.

“Keir has taken this incredibly seriously," the minister told me.Listen to the episode on

A forensic pathologist has told an inquiry how he was watched by defence and Army officials as he examined Novichok victim Dawn Sturgess.Giving evidence at the hearing in central London, Prof Guy Rutty confirmed he had "no other reason" than the nerve agent to explain Ms Sturgess' death.

He told the inquiry panel that he had carried out the examination in full protective gear due to the risk of being exposed to the substance himself.Describing the situation as "very unusual", Prof Rutty added that he had written two separate reports as the coroner did not have the security clearance to read the full details.
