    Prepare yourself for a big fat dose of political optimism. Jeremy Hunt is asking a big question: can we be rich again? His latest book seeks to answer this and before he gets into what needs to change, he also believes that there's plenty to be cheerful about. How can the government quickly deliver growth? What makes the UK uniquely placed to benefit from AI? What's his personal best London Marathon time? All this and more in a refreshingly positive take on politics.

    This is a cracking briefing from Labour's Deputy Leader. On Makerfield and what happens next for the party.

    Lucy takes us inside the heart of the Labour Party... do Labour MPs and members actually want a leadership election? And what would happen if there was one?

    Are the issues that Labour faces actually to do with Keir Starmer at all?

    Lucy is also a massive football fan, but how does she behave at games... the answer may surprise you.

    PLUS... beauty tips on how to look 20 years younger.
