UK correspondent Dan Bloom looks at the troubles facing the new Labour government, as PM Keir Starmer faces stories about the "freebies" he's accepted - including suits and an £18m penthouse flat during the election campaign.
At his Labour conference speech on Tuesday the PM continued the "tough love" theme, telling the public it would have to accept prisons and pylons in places they might not want them.
And Dan looks ahead to next week's Tory conference - who's likely to take the reins after the party's crushing election defeat?
