The Treasury is expecting £30 billion tax rises in November’s Budget - so how will chancellor Rachel Reeves fund that without breaking her spending rules?

In Talking Politics, Tom Bradby and Robert Peston look at her possible solutions and why the next moves represent a nightmare for the chancellor.

Meanwhile, Nigel Farage claims Reform would save Britain billions cracking down on legal migration by removing the indefinite leave to remain for many who have made Britain home.

And while the controversial immigration policy’s funding plan has been widely questioned - could it add up to another voting win for Reform?

Plus, what does the freedom of speech row that took Jimmy Kimmel off air for a few days tell us about the Trump regime? And how has Robert’s question to the US president captured the imagination of Jon Stewart and the makers of Diaper Diplomacy?

Tom Bradby is joined by Political Editor Robert Peston and US Correspondent Dan Rivers from the Prime Minister's country residence Chequers, where he has just survived a press conference alongside the US President. Has Sir Keir Starmer, in spite all of his difficulties on the domestic front, played it perfectly with the world's most powerful man - and as a result, bagged billions upon billions of investment from some of America's top companies?

Plus, Tom and Dan discuss: After his day at Windsor Castle, why is it that Donald Trump seems to love and respect King Charles and the Royal Family so much?

He's already lost his deputy Angela Rayner, the questions are mounting over Peter Mandelson’s disastrous appointment, and now one of Keir Starmer's top aides Paul Ovenden has been forced to quit after an ITV News exclusive revealed his own shocking private messages. 

So how will the PM navigate the deepening leadership crisis without one of his key strategists?

In Talking Politics, Tom Bradby and Robert Peston are joined by our Political Correspondent Shehab Khan, who exposed the PM’s aide's sickening messages about Diane Abbott, to assess the fallout from the story.

Tom and Robert then discuss the looming threat to Starmer's position as he prepares to host Donald Trump's state visit and the emboldening of the far-right movement in the UK and US in the wake of the assassination of pro-Trump activist Charlie Kirk.

Should ministers like Angela Rayner get thousands of pounds in severance pay if they resign?

In this Q&A Tom Bradby and Robert Peston answer that audience question and more, including:

• Will Rayner's resignation trigger more investigations into politicians and government officials to see what claims they’re making that they shouldn’t?
• Could Keir Starmer ever take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights?
• How can we have a Deputy PM in David Lammy who openly backs claims for reparations into the billions regarding slavery in the past?
• And after 10 years of social media churning ‘politics’ for entertainment, can it ever now stop being a soap opera?

Keir Starmer has sacked Peter Mandelson as Britain's UK ambassador to the US following the release of more damaging emails he sent to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Jeffrey Epstein birthday book revelations have further implicated Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and forced a grovelling apology from the UK Ambassador to the US’s Peter Mandelson.

In Talking Politics, Robert Peston and Tom Bradby examine why Mandelson’s past letters to the convicted paedophile financier - released now by a US congressional committee - are so catastrophic for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The duo analyse how Kemi Badenoch used the issue to finally dominate at PMQs, compare Mandelson’s precarious political predicament with Angela Rayner’s recent resignation over unpaid stamp duty and discuss the other biggest headaches facing Starmer heading into Autumn’s Budget, including why tax rises are now inevitable.Got a question for Tom and Robert?

After a momentous day in British politics, Julie Etchingham is joined by Political Editor Robert Peston and Political Correspondent Harry Horton who is at the Reform UK conference in Birmingham.

Angela Rayner finally fell on her sword, triggering a major reshuffle of Starmer's top team.

Is that the end of the chaos in Westminster for now - or is it just beginning?

Meanwhile, Harry Horton joins us from Birmingham where Nigel Farage kicked off Reform UK's biggest-ever conference in high spirits. He talks us through some of the familiar faces there, and why party members see it as a watershed moment for their movement.

In this special episode of Talking Politics, Tom Bradby is joined by Scotland Correspondent Peter Smith to discuss Reform, immigration and Nigel Farage’s latest ‘flip-flop’.

Why did Mr Farage today change his tune on his party’s immigration policy for women and children, after saying at a press conference just yesterday that ‘absolutely anyone’ who comes here illegally will be detained and deported? How do Reform’s immigration policies in general hold up to scrutiny? And why could tackling the small boats crisis determine which party wins the next general election?
