Sky News’ deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico’s Jack Blanchard are back with their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.

On the day of a big Commons vote on the future of winter fuel payments, Jack and Sam discuss whether this is really the first big test of the new government and how Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer are dealing with potential rebels.

They also talk about the meeting today between the foreign secretary and the US secretary of state Anthony Blinken.

And they have an update on the Conservative Party leadership race on the day one more contestant is knocked out.
