Ahead of the G20, Ben Wright and guests discuss some of the diplomatic challenges facing Keir Starmer

Does the government understand farming, and what choices will Keir Starmer make about Ukraine, China and the EU? Ben Wright hosts topical discussion with MPs and commentators.

Ben Wright's guests are the Labour MP Dan Tomlinson, Shadow Wales Secretary Mims Davies and policy expert Sam Freedman. They consider whether the government understands the countryside, with farmers planning a mass protest against inheritance tax changes. They also discuss the foreign policy choices facing the Prime Minister, as he heads to the G20 summit in Rio. Lucy Fisher - Whitehall Editor of the Financial Times - brings additional insight and analysis. And the panel also debate the pros and cons of modernising House of Commons customs and procedures.
