A reset week for Rishi but what will the local elections bring?.

Following the prime minister's trip to Europe this week, Beth Rigby, Jess Phillips and Ruth Davidson examine whether Rishi Sunak is convincing on the world stage and ask if his announcement on defence spending will help the Conservatives' chances in next week's local elections.   

  

And after the Rwanda bill was passed this week - is this another win for the prime minister or a policy that he should have dumped months ago?   

  

Plus, what's the future for Scottish First Minister Hamza Yusuf following the breakdown of the coalition between the SNP and the Greens. Ruth Davidson who was the leader of the Scottish Conservatives gives her verdict.   

  

And how do MPs get deselected if they behave badly and can you become an MP if you have a past?  The team answer more of your questions. 

Email Beth, Jess, and Ruth at electoraldysfunction@sky.uk ( sky.uk ) , post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444.
